Rolling Stone (2.5 stars out of 5): "Johansson’s voice is unremarkable and her pitch sometimes unsteady; she’s a faintly goth Marilyn Manson lost in a sonic fog."

Entertainment Weekly: An average "C" grade. Her "expressionless voice" was concealed "deeply in the druggy ambiance".
Yes, she is a hottie.

No, she can't sing.

using less days of annual leave by working in our melbourne office for a few days while I'm over here. with weather like today it's good to be somewhere nice and warm and get paid for it!

Going to need all the holidays i can muster for the end of the year.

Yep, in the south the sun goes down at 10pm in Summer. We used to go to the beach straight after work at 6pm, have a swim, hangout, drinks some beers, have a picnic, more swimming, and go home between 10 & midnight. You could even swim after the sun had gone down because there arent any sharks in the Med. Ahhh France! :smt007

:smt026 yay nic!

we had our office party last night... I had a glass of pimms, did two laps of the marquee, considered partaking of the "hog roast"... thought better of it, and decided my couch at home seemed like the most appealing thing in the world.

Why most bittersweet day my friend?

Fucking what the fuck was with all the people in the CBD yesterday?? Open House or some shit. But then they hung around and ate breakfast/lunch and I spent 2 hours looking for a table. In the City. Lounge didn't help things by not opening. Ended up having lasagne for breakfast at Fed Square cos was so hungers FAIL. Go back to Chaddy and stop stealing my breakfast table you parasites.

mates dying too young. best mate had a seizure at work friday before last which turned out to be a brain anyryzum (sp?). induced coma for 2 weeks till they could operate due to an infection.

i can only assume that Norm made his choice whilst sleeping. he may have come back but he may of not been the same, maybe a veg, maybe a wheelchair and this was the sort of bloked that would of told anyone to get fucked and that he's not letting anyone wipe his ass for the rest of his days. He was a hard prick, didnt like electronic beats but loved metallica, rode a customised harley softail (which he would constantly be absolutley sideways on) and played just as hard if not harder than he worked.

Anyone who thinks they can go out every single weekend and party from friday to sun might just have another thing coming.

RIP Norm :LIGHTER:

Never forgotten but always remembered.
