anyone with even a passing affection for the rolling stones [Nov. 28th, 2009|08:33 am]

... should see Tim Rogers tonight at the Corner. $28.50 gets you in and he's fronting a band who do a remarkably faithful re-creation of the 1969 live album "get yer ya-ya's out." i was there last night and it was spectacular.

Anyone need a ticket? I've got a spare because I'm unable to count accurately. Not looking to make a profit. Cost price $250.

Some things I am thankful for today:

*Chicken in a Biscuit crackers. Since those are more or less entirely made of god, really.

*That, because it is finally post Thanksgiving, people can stop kvetching about Christmas music being played. They're not going to, and I'm not either, but they can.

*Leftovers. Mmmmm, leftovers.

*That I really do have the most delightfully snarky family ever. If you wonder where I get my snark and sarcasm and humour as a defense mechanism, well, it's stolen straight up from my dad (the dirty jokes come from mom). And his dad. My love of schadenfreude comes from two of my uncles. My grandmother heavily influences my dramatic poses. Being the (second)oldest means I've always had younger cousins around to make me be silly. Hell, even the ones who marry into the clan have good sense of humour to them --Jeff wandered in and started snarking on everyone gathered in a nice big circle in the living room...and playing on their varying electronics. I love my family.

I'll probably post more things I'm thankful for later. Things I am not thankful for today pretty much boil down to "oh hell, novel."

...oh, and remembering that telling people to call me and then not having the phone on = stupidity on my part. Hurr. Not that it matters --Vermont is apparently made of no phones. Sigh.

MOOP!

ETA 1226: Did I mention Chickin-in-a-biscuit? Because damn.

That I can apparently recognize the Wallace and Gromit theme music from three rooms away and like...four notes or something.

Tiny round orange things <3 <3 <3 <3 (Tangerines or necterines or something like that)

Foster, who I like and who entertains me and such.

Also Nurit, who I like, and who entertains me and such.

Alys, who is EATING MY SHOULDER OH GOD! (I love you too)

Gonna Eat Me A Lot of Peaches [Nov. 27th, 2009|10:04 pm]

m0rtal_w0mbat

Cockroach Death Count Since Moving Into House: 25
Spiders Found Lingering In Items of Clothing or Linen: 14
Moths Found Rummaging Through Food In Pantry: 6
Strange Cobwebs Found on Bread Loaf: 1
Times I've Heard Something Chewing In My Walls: 7

EXTERMINATE, EXTERMINATE.

But on the plus side I've become almost entirely indifferent to the presence of bugs. This very moment a cockroach is perched precariously on the curtain next to and slightly above me, clicking its antennae in an attention-seeking fashion. Meanwhile, after some thought I'm thinking of taking the suggestion of The Boys X 3 (hai!) and looking for a new place if the landlord doesn't deal with the very real issue of bug infestation. Except house-hunting is exhausting and I'm fairly certain the other girls are just as weary as I of putting things in boxes and taking them out again.

I never thought I'd think this but for the first time ever I've found a rather butch lesbian charming. Not in the 'I'd date that' sense, because there's an obvious limitation there. And this is saying a lot for me because I've been exclusively attracted to feminine women for quite some time now. I am one of the seven lesbians on the planet who DOESN'T find Shane from the L Word attractive (Bette and Dana on the other hand...or in both hands in an ideal world). Actually, I'd say the lesbian in question is more androgynous than anything. Yes. Ok. That makes everything alright. Right?
Damn you gay sensibilities.

Currently writing an article on gaming classification in Australia because it involves extensive research. Like playing video games! Actually, not so much. It's mostly reading dry legislation and chasing grumpy old men for interviews. But I'm keeping myself occupied. If you've got any opinions on the matter I'd love to have a discussion with you about it. Varied perspectives add flavour to my angle. Or some other wanky journalistic rubbish.

I miss people. I've spent so much of this year studying or cycling or being consumed by an existential crisis that I've neglected a lot of people in my life. Reconnect with me, chums. There will be ice-cream and Pinky and the Brain-style plotting of world domination.

3 hours, 5 phone calls...still no cab [Nov. 27th, 2009|09:30 pm]

melbournemaniac

[okele]
[mood | fucking annoyed]

I live in Gladstone Park, which is near the Airport.

Does anyone else who live in that area have trouble getting cabs to pick them up?

I rang for a cab at 6.15pm....and it still hasn't turned up - 3 hours later.

I've made 5 phonecalls and even spoken to the supervisor who has rebooked a cab every time.

When I've called, I'm told that a taxi driver has reported that he's already picked me up.

/Apparently/ all the cabs are waiting at the airport in the hope of getting a good job. Jobs pop up on their screen so they can only see so many at a time. To get rid of them, they just 'delete' them off the list, sending a message back to HQ that the person has been picked up.

So after 5 phone calls and 3 hours of waiting I've taken the make up off, kicked off the heels, put my trackies on and am now spending a Friday night in.

Anyone else have this really frustrating thing happen to them?

Melbourne? Melbourne! [Nov. 27th, 2009|07:24 pm]

I'm heading down to Melbourne next week, Thurs-Sun. Ryan will be coming down on the same overnight bus, but he'll probably stay in Melbs longer (I have a day job to go to on Monday, whereas his timetable is more flexible).

Friday and Saturday I'll be at the Australia's Homosexual Histories conference at unimelb. Not sure what I'm doing all day on Thursday, after 5:30pm on Friday and Saturday, or on Sunday morning... other than sleeping in, that is.

friday nude quotes [Nov. 27th, 2009|05:36 am]
jenniespalette

I recall my disappointment
On first seeing you nude.
An admission I admit that could be
Badly misconstrued.

You are utterly attractive,
have a wonderful frame,
but there’s you with clothes and you without
and they’re not quite the same.

while you still had your clothes on,
I had imbued you perfection,
with rather massive shoulders
and a cut mid section.

but when I saw you naked.
it was a disconcerting matter-
how your chest got softer
and your butt got flatter.

yet today I watch you sleeping so superbly unfurled.
and I can’t imagine trading that body
for any body-
nearly any other body in the world

An admission – Songs from an Unmade Bed

Things wot should be included in an archaeology degree. [Nov. 27th, 2009|04:43 pm]

kitling
Everything we covered, plus stone tools should be a mandatory subject, so should managing archaeology which is supposed to teach you about the legislation but really didn't touch on the details.
- AAV site cards
- soil science
- geology
- local geology
- surveying
- mathmatics

So if I have 28 artefacts, 22 are quartzite and 6 are crystal quartz, what percentage are quartzite?

And what is the formula for working that out, because I need to know what percentage are flakes, cores etc. I haz excel and a calculator, I just don't know the formula and I'm wondering if its gin time yet?

Interesting factiod of the day. If your car is registered and it is written off, VicRoads pay back a percentage of your registration for the portion of the year you no longer need your car registered. That is nice I think.

Possibly this a long shot, but I was wondering if anyone might know of places in Melbourne looking to employ a freelance, part- or full-time copywriter? I'm an author published in Australia, the US and Europe through major publishing houses to high praise. I've written for both adults and young-adults, novel-length and otherwise, and am a dab hand at adapting to a given style.

My (admittedly craptacular and somewhat out-of-date) website can be seen here, or you can contact me at twicebright at gmail dot com.

Much obliged.

I'm thankful for you guys. Yes, all of you, even the ones that exasperate me, and the ones that have pissed me off, and the ones that have broken my heart, and the ones that otherwise are not perfect in every way.

(And yes, especially you, Harena. Tell your negvox to stfu.)

I love you guys. You make me a HappyKat.

Because I'm honestly curious about something now. And never learn. XD

And no, despite the icon... what I'm curious about is not what you think it is.
