8:19 pm - March Creations
|
Well it's April, but never mind.
I made an album. It's called "Cowardly Attack". I'm finishing the artwork at present and will have it all pressed and done soon as that stimulus money arrives. And will do some sort of launch show in May. You can download it here. You probably won't like it.
Nat and Celeste and Steve and I made Darren Hanlon a video clip in 4 hours late one Sunday night. It's the "Indie clip of the week" on ABCTV's rage. Will be on late tonight and early tomorrow and probably the next week, too.
I'm also selling my Sony Handycam HDR-HC5E miniDV HD video camera. If you'd like to buy it, let me know.

2:27 am - FESTIVE PERIOD LOCATIONS
|
Marrakech was warm, and had lots of donkeys who made exactly the noise they're supposed to.
Berlin was cold, but full of interesting things and new drunken friends. That's me on a bike, next to the Berlin wall. What a bloody tourist.
Glasgow was cold too, and we met lots of people from bands who I'd have wet myself over meeting, were I still 21.
We spent Christmas in a cottage in Ireland, where we were force-fed very expensive wine by my grandmother's very favourite soap star.
Last night I ate black pudding stew, and today I walked up a mountain and tomorrow I begin meandering home and on Friday night I hope to have a pint in Collingwood by 11pm.
Giving up drinking didn't work.

2:12 am - trim
|
i was feeling self-consious about tufts at the back.
i found that by sticking a wide strip of masking tape from earlobe to earlobe, i was able to trim the back of my own neck with clippers.
tomorrow i'm going to build a spaceship out of cardboard. which is what i'd planned to do tonight, but got distracted.

2:45 pm - Places
|
My last day at the place I've worked for three and a half years was yesterday. I've no other work organised, and minimal savings. This is slightly worrying, but it's a relief to no longer be working a job i can't stand.
I have 3 weeks to fill - I need home-based, inexpensive projects. Bicycles might get built and sofas re-arranged.
The following are the places by jet plane I'll be visiting later this year, posted so as you people might suggest things to do / places to stay / people to see:
Helsink Thursday, November 27 (on which night Slayer are playing - if you can get me a ticket I'll love you forever!)
London Friday November 28th (anyone know a sofa to sleep on?)
Marrakech Sunday November 30th (africa!)
Glasgow Thursday December 4th (anyone know a sofa to sleep on?)
Berlin Monday December 15th (does an english online gig guide exist?)
Liverpool Friday December 19th (boring)
Shannon Monday December 22nd (christmas in ireland with b-grade celebrities!)
Manchester Friday December 26th (boring)
Melbourne Friday January 16th, 2009 (NEED A JOB EMPLOY ME PLEASE)
sick.

12:04 am - Men
|
I came to my attention today, that there are rather too many males in my life.
This is unusual, and hopefully won't be ongoing.

|
i discovered the dumbest fun thing on (google) earth.
i think i have a new hobby.
i am also building an arcade machine. the coin mechanism and buttons arrive tomorrow. the sides are cut, the computer-bits are set up. hopefully in a week's time it will work.
and am also making an EP of horrible experimental music. it will be available to purchase in a month or so, and there will be some shows that you should come to.
i can't think what else is happening in my life that might be worth sharing.
current mood:  happy

5:53 pm - BUY MY CAR
|
hello and happy new year.
i bought a car on ebay a couple of months ago, on a whim. i figured i'd fix the handful of things that need fixing and drive it to the country a couple of times a year. i found, though, that i've no enthusiasm for fixing cars. i rush things and get irritable, unlike when i fix bicycles, which is a task i greatly enjoy and can devote much time and effort to.
as i don't really need a car, i'd like to sell it, or swap it for a small motorbike or a piano.
it's a 1980 gemini, and has had no modifications made in 28 years. it's done barely any kilometres and runs amazingly well. the interior is in perfect condition besides a small tear in one seat. it's got a cute sun visor.
bad things: it has a few rust spots, and a fair bit of rust in the boot. nothing too difficult or expensive to fix, though. there are also a handful of minor things that need replacing in order to get a roadworthy (the mechanic said they'd amount to less than $100 in parts), and it's not currently registered.
