Ah. I forgot the VC didn't have insurance. Back to the drawing board...
Came awfully close to putting half a pool cue through a gatecrasher's head at my house party on Saturday night after he manhandled one of my best friends and broke a meter wide hole in my back fence.

Honestly? I'm sorta glad I never found out because I'm still absolutely furious about the whole thing.
@bo - they make noise whilst building on the weekend yeh? keep a record of the times they start, how loud its etc and speak to council, send them a letter, maybe with the log of starting too early etc. sure eliot would have sensible advice if he wasnt in china
I hate xmas because it marks the anniversary of my dads death 4 years ago. I will have been unemployed for 6 months by the time xmas is here. I am having to comtemplate going into admin to do something else just so I can survive which is going to be soul destroying. I'm so jaded with the music scene in general that I want to give up but I never will because its all I know, which means in 5 years time when I've made just as little progess I'll be 5 times as jaded. I'm over it, and am having to do some quite serious soul searching right now because I dont even know what I want anymore.
no simple answers to any of that im afraid.
hugs though.
this time of year always seems to bring things into harsh perspective.
im bracing myself for the same when im in adelame next week.

Condolences on the anniversary of your Dad.
What were you doing for a crust 6-months ago? Have you been employed in the music industry before? If so, in what capacity - with whom, when, for how long etc...

thanks man. thanks Bo. I was working as a finished artist for an advertising agency. There just isn't a lot of work doing what I do at the moment, or at least - doesn't seem to be.
I have never been employed in the conventional sense in the music industry but I run a hobby label, and manage another one for a friend in my spare time. There is no money in music its just for fun but it gets harder to justify the time spent on it every year as you see your profits hemorrhaging, mainly due to piracy.
The thing with music is everyone's trying to get ahead so no one really helps anyone out. Its dog eat dog really.
If I was young and hungry and ruthless that would be acceptable but I'm not anymore, just bored of it.
Just an idea, without any research what-so-ever, but what about writing scores for a gaming companies?
That industry is doing quite well AFAIK, there is a local gaming company i saw on TV a while back which is focussing on iphone games and they are expanding quite rapidly, that could be worth a look.

Daymn, YI
I remember being in WTF limbo after years of back-to-back snowboarding seasons. I looked up one day and found myself cleaning chewing gum from ashtrays at Loop. I was all 'wait, hang on, not sure if this was where I thought I'd be, aged 30'. Also, thoughts will be with you on Christmas day.
Edit: wot they said... love you YI
My GOTD is pretty FA1L in comparison. A black pen got caught up in the wash. I fail at housekeep thing.
I wanted to be a hero. I wanted to be the center of attention. I wanted the glory, I wanted the fame. I wanted the pretty girls to come up and say, "Hi, I see that you're good at Centipede."
YI I want out as well, i just work to make money to spend money to work again. waste cycle imo
would ideally move to tasmania and grow super gourmet strainz of w33d in a shed in deep bush for mail order to teh impoverished UK market.
(but not get hai on my own supplyhai)
have you considered making speed or something?
perhaps we can make some mega pingaz?

TV show/doco about teh experience setting up clandestine lab then sell to tv networks.
revenue raised from sale of show should cover bail and kick ass legal team to fight all charges that the experience was all about exposing black market drug trade.

proceeds of crime disguised as sale of show.
my housemate has written a feature length film about this scenario, based on a lot of the things that happened in our warehouse circa 2000-2001
I had a wisdom tooth pulled out, in the chair, hasven't been that scared in a long time.
Went to dentist thinking yeah just need a filling get in and he's like oh we need to pull that one out.
Then gave me a list of things else I need doing that I'll work on in the new year.
Mouth feels like shit hungry but not sure what I can eat and I'm pretty sure I'm coming down with a cold or tonsilitis on top of it.
Plus it's Scott's birthday and our 4 year aniversary this week so prob won't even be doing much for that now
^^ nah tash, less teeth = better mouth for blowjobs hahaha
socio - eat youghurt, porridge etc. and DONT SMOKE anything for a couple days. dry socket is the worst thing ever and is REALLY painful, you get it when air gets in the hole, BAD!!!
bloody ballkids all over the place.
gotta carry a few tennis balls around in my pockets to piff down the road so they chase after it just so i can get into the IT shed!
there is nothing to do in adelaide, there is also nothing to do in the gold coast.
both places, the people who love there think they live in an international city.
but at least i stay in the pretty hills in big parental house with ambient lighting, full of books & stained glass windows with a jeep to drive around and a spa on the porch to linger in, when i visited the gold coast we just found tacky malls & schoolies kids in head to toe billabong.
GC does have Dreamworld though. That's a huge bonus. ROLLERCOASTERS!!!
Couldn't believe how much it had changed up there since when I used to go as a kid.
I'd rather go to Adelaide...or anywhere really for an environment like that though GK. Sounds like absolute heaven.
whoever sees her next, give her hugs for me
