Fuck me, finished work for the week and came home to a letterbox with these:
Commonwealth Mastercard: $25 (nice, taking things slow).
Virgin Mastercard: $75 (I can deal with that).
Energy Australia: $201 (take it easy, fuckers)
Water: $178 (hmmm).
Car Registration due: $250 (annoying).
Compulsory Third Party Insurance: $468 (christ).
So that's $1197 in one day. What're the odds?
Thanks for that, letterbox.
It's...

Boo, your Duffy story was picked up by MTV's Buzzworthy blog. Holla!
1. The trip to Melbourne with Anni reminded me of all the good things in life. I usually remember most of them, but I really got a refresher course in how good it can get. Been a bit bummed to be back in Sydney, actually.
2. Nice that's it's getting colder. Get ready scarves and jackets, because I'm going to wear the shit out of...

I have climbed highest mountains
I have run through the fields

yep. yep it is.
Good lord, if you're into The Band or bluegrass or even if you're not, have a listen to Levon Helm's new album. It's a goddamned scorcher. What a voice.
I'm looking forward to some incredible NBA play-offs, as well as a trip to Melbourne with the wonderful Anni.
Had an interview at work to move to the insurance assessment department. Don't think I'll get it....

Absolutely! I'm a real 'George girl' although I have unfashionable Paul leanings. 
Every time I listen I have a new favourite, but the perfect fusion in the version of Get Back really blows my mind every time.

She quit a film job? I'm sort of lost for words.
Your point is you want to have a beer with moi & Tfok and you miss my sweet ass and want to catch up real soon.
Right?

I've been:
1) Relating to Foreigner lyrics. You know which ones.

Thanks for the link - I am really enjoying that blog. Also I see that you are a Springsteen fan, as am I. Thanks for your contribution on my page (my current blog has opening verses, which I think is a better barometer of a song than just the opening line, and the first example I gave, obvious as it may be, was "Born To Run"). I've seen Bruce a whole lot of times, in small clubs and football stadiums, and I met him once, at which time he was kind enough to sign birthday cards for my kids! Needless to say, they are fans too. Glad to meet you and thanks again for introducing me to MusicWarship.
knives2meatyou:
It's funny, when I met Bruce I started to say how much his music inspired me and I just stopped and said, "you must get so tired of people telling how fucking great you are all of the time." He just laughed. He was very nice - even though he was about to go on stage (holding that beat-up Stratocaster!) he signed the cards for my kids and we spoke for a little bit. I was told later the only reason he would have stopped to sign something just before going on was because it WAS for my kids. I'll attach the cards so you can see them. I have a signed Telecaster from him too, and a signed tour bag, that I won in a charity auction. I'll post them on my page at some point if you're interested.
(I picked out the cards, so don't blame Bruce)

So what exactly entails being a "Media Student"?
tangus:
What exactly do you plan to do with your degree when you're done?
Melbourne was incredible. Had some great times in beautiful alleyway bars and stairway pubs and rooftop drinking venues. Went to a super-classy (which is to say, not super-creepy) strip club and we laughed as our mate Roz spent half his pay. Saw The National, who I didn't like much but the guys loved.

Saw Sufjan last night. What a ridiculously likeable man. Sweet, funny, and the writer of some beautiful music. Didn't hurt it was at the State Theatre -- my only regret: that I didn't wear a tuxedo and you're not allowed to smoke cigars in there. I was all 'I hope he plays The Dress Looks Nice On You and Chicago for the encore!' and then...

Summer? Its barely 0 degrees!
I love the LRG as well. There have been so many knockoffs though since that hoodie came out. Macy's just bought their entire line so we'll see what happens...

That first photo is totally pimp, release an album immediately.
I'm gonna bypass the swearing and just ask: have you watched Hard Eight yet? If not, new Paul Thomas Anderson in the way of There Will Be Blood early February so get on it.
You'd be proud of me, I bought Kanye's first album and really dig it.
Licence and car soon, I hope. Then we can meet up for hoops and pink lemonade, right?
