    Prespective is a nice warm room
    It's weird.

    All my overseas sidekicks are about to laugh in my face about now, but it is 2200 here in Adelaide and about 6 deg C outside.

    I was walking back to the car an hour ago from Book Group and thought this is 'bitingly cold'.

    Would have been about 7 deg then.

    7.

    OMG. I can hear you laughing at me now. 7. Not even raining.


    YEAH well come and visit me in the summer when it is 40 in the shade and then see who's laughing!! :D

    No Compromise, Not even in the face of Armageddon
    Finished jury duty today.

    Bit disturbing when you are using walking home from the first day of the trial and asking yourself 'what would Rorschach do?'

    The other variation was 'What would Dredd do?' which came down to either :-

    a) - Say 'Drokk!'
    b) - Beat the crap out of it with a daystick
    c) - Bike Cannon
    d) - Law Giver (fires six types of bullets)
    or
    e) - all of the above


    Still, the trial is over and if I never have to do another one ever again that will be a good thing as deep down it was a very intense and emotionally disturbing experience.

    Don't often say this, but looking forward to being back at work tomorrow... if nothing else because of my battery charger for the mobile is on my desk and I haven't charged the Sony E for 5 days :P

    Disposable heros - now in new colours
    Was looking at my iPod headphones today and discovered they were not the happy smiling headphones I first owned back two and a bit years ago.

    So I went alooking while leaving the court today.

    What did I find?

    New Apple iPod/iPhone type earphone thingys?

    $45

    New Apple 1 Gig iPod shuffle (complete with earphone thingys)?

    $68

    Apart from having to re-upload all your tunes to the new toy it does make you wonder a bit if you would be better off owning a second iPod doesn't it?



    (so I paid $18 and got a set of Phillips ones instead :D )

    Soup
    Hey Kids,

    Mud made soup today.

    Well, Chowder which is sort of soup. Bit of a whim thing. One of my girlie mates mentioned she has been on a soup diet and I will confess she does look pretty lean and mean at the moment. So I was flicking through some of my cook book things casually and then later at the shops decided why not.

    Which also reminds me that that last time I had seafood chowder was in Seattle and it gave me food poisoning.

    YA.

    Vomit.

    Ya.


    So far with this one so good. Wasn't too bad although it didn't really thicken up as much as I would have liked, I forgot the leaks and probably should have gotten more corn. Still, since cooking counts as housework I managed to use it as an excuse to get out of the cleaning type stuff I was meant to be doing :D

    Also got my leaking tap fixed in the shower. Megan Landlady came over with Mr Megan Landlady Dad and with their slightly better tools managed to re-seat the bugger. This is good as that tap was leaking so bad that it would fill the bucket I had under it in about 40 mins.

    Pity the hot water is still stuffed. Take it from me, cold showers are NOT character building, they are just COLD!!!

    So if anyone has a hot shower I can borrow... :D

    Convos on a Sunday
    Hi Kids,

    was hanging out with some of my GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR rock gal band mates on Sunday before their gig started.


    M :- So we are having this photo shoot and we are about 3 doors down from this really formal wedding group who are trying to be all serious. And Ham is topless and playing the bass with her nipple and all these people are trying not to look and we are all OMG GO GIRL! You are playing the bass with your nipple! Your nipples rock!
    Me :- So... what I want to know is why I wasn't invited to do this photo shoot
    H :- Craigie you blushed enough when we got you to take photos of us in the girls toilets.
    (pause)
    (thinks)
    Me :- yeah good point

    On Jury Duty
    Hi all,

    as I think I have mentioned I am currently on jury duty for this month.

    Some of it is rather fun. Like the bits where you are still on full pay from work and have 1145 starts the first day after a long weekend and the fact that despite the fact I live either a $1.70 bus ride or lazy 20 mins walk from the courts they still want to pay me something like $15 a day travel.

    Then there is the reality of it all. You are in court dealing with people who in some cases have been charged with rather nasty crimes. I was called in today and fortunately didn't have my number selected as the charges read out were rather disturbing and distressing. If I manage to do the entire month without having to physically sit on a trial I wouldn't be too upset to be honest.

    Snot an exciting Weekend
    Hi Kids,

    Muddy the Snot monster here today.

    I have had a head cold since sometime around Thursday and decided to be a good little crustacaen and have a weekend in. So no booze since Thursday night (!?!) and no outside trips apart from the shops and the laundrymat.

    Instead I stayed home, napped alot and did a lot of cleaning.

    For cleaning it was more a case of taking the LARGE piles of crap on say the table and the longue and in an attempt to sort them out, managing to spread them into several smaller piles of crap but over a larger surface area. So now the table is largely cleared but you have to step over the piles of crud on the floor.

    Main annoying thing is I think I have discovered just how long those heavy plastic shopping bags last before they stop being a heavy plastic shopping bag full of old pay slips and bank statements you feel you should keep and start being little bits of flaky plastic covering a pile of old pay slips and bank statements you know sorta want to ditch.

    Good news is I did dig out some stuff which allows me to finally do some stuff I have been putting off for 11 months (ie last years tax...) AND found my Very Hungry Caterpillar caterpillar.

    Just pity about the mess.

    Is sick - oink oink
    Hi Kids,

    I am currently looking down the barrel of an anti social weekend in trying not to cough on people.

    Currently have a sore throat, a head full of snot (yummy... hands up who is eating at the moment??) and a headache.

    On the plus side a weekend in will cost me very little as I think I MIGHT of gone JUST a little bit spend crazy last weekend buying books.

    Nat Con 48
    Hi Kids,

    I have just survived my first Sci Fi Con which was held her in sunny Adelaide (ummmm... for sunny feel free to replace with the words 'cold' and 'wet' any time you like) this long weekend.

    With wishing to spend the next 30 mins telling you in great detail how much fun it was to spend 3 1/2 days interacting with so interesting, intelligent and friendly people I will instead briefly just mention that I had 3 1/2 days of fun interacting with interesting, intelligent and friendly people and now I want to Con again :)

    guilty
    Hi Kids,

    strangely enough I have been called in to do jury duty !?!

    Started on Friday and let me tell you as a way to get out of work on full pay so far so good :D

    Seems to be a lot of 'thank you, you are all free to go now' sort of stuff going on so far. Been in twice (3 times if you count the induction day) and the first time the trial didn't end up going ahead and today I wasn't picked in the top 12.

    Actually jokes aside once you get into the court room is it slightly scary as what you are doing IS a serious matter and can change peoples lives. So in some ways I am not sure I want to do it all or not. Still, I am on call till the start of next month so what happens will happen.


    Not much else all that exciting. Been playing some bad LaX at the moment and my shoulder has been hurting a fair bit both during and after games. This weekend due to the long weekend there is a week off so I am mildly pleased. After that I REALLY need to get back into training and try and get back in the second team. Currently (last 2 games) I have been down in B-grade and the quality is REALLY rubbish. I know they say in a lower grade you should dominate - and if you are an attacking type player you can do that - but as a defender you can find yourself cut out of a game if the rest of your team is of lower skill levels. Okay the player you are standing may never get the ball for an entire quarter but even dumb attackers know how to pick out and dodge the weaker D.


    Big Geek Sci Fi con here this weekend. It will be either really cool or completely lame and come MOnday you will be reading a post asking for 3 days of my life back.

    Friendship is a wonderful thing :D
    A casual friend will listen to your problems when convenient

    A good friend will listen to your problems under any circumstances

    But a TRUE friend will promise to take you aside and beat the shit out of you for your own good.

    Musing on relationships...
    Hi Kids,

    I was musing a bit recently about how some people seem to have collections of dickhead ex's and how otherwise sensible and rational people can date such losers.

    So I was sort of thinking that a significant proportion of these things come about from a one off shag and are extended into 'relationships' to remove the problem of having to confess to having a drunken one night stand.

    The way I see it is this - what would you prefer to say to your social circle?

    "Picked up some guy/girl Friday night after work drinks and had sex at their place"

    or

    "Met some guy/girl Friday night and we are catching up Tuesday for coffee"


    So, is this a reflection on society that people who have one off drunk shags are somehow 'bad people'? Or that people are willing to continue a lie rather then confess to themselves that they made a mistake? Is society still so sexist that Man who pulls root = Top Bloke while Woman who pulls root = tart?

    I don't want to sound like a prude or anything. I have myself had drunk one night relationships (some a lot better then others) and to be honest would not turn one down in the future.

    (when I am sober I am still too shy to be blatant and then after about 3 beers apathy to that sort of thing sort of kicks in and I don't care either way. So I have a small 2 beer window to successfully do what ever it is your do when you do these things. Or at least that is my excuse and I am sticking too it :D Nothing to do with me being a slightly creepy looking weird guy after the 4th pint. Honest :P)

    So I don't know. I was trying to explain this to someone else and they said I was saying women were sluts. Which is not what I mean at all. You just do have to wonder sometimes how some 'relationships' seem to fall together.

    None of this has anything at all to do with the fact a female friend of mine who is really nice and I have a crush on seems to have a collection of strange ex's making it 'really complicated and messy at the moment'. Honest.

    okay, that was weird
    Hi Kids,

    surreal moment number 1 - Pulled up to gym in the MudMobile and are doing that 'ready to get out of car' stuff before you remove the keys and kill the power. One of the tasks was to put the iPod plugs back into the ears and, out of finger reflex, press the go button.

    By semi coinidence (semi - I have been on a BIG Miss Golly Gosh kick at the moment) the song playing when I turned the pod back on was the same song as had just started on the car CD player that I had yet to turn off AND was only half a beat out of sync!

    REALLY weird. The guitar blurs a bit by the lyrics have a weird sort of ghostly echo to them. It is like having your own disco remix. Beat if I spent an hour I could not get them to sync the same way again.

    Miss Golly Gosh - Tittens

    Hey there Mister G.I. Joe
    I've seen your face around here
    a Cheap joke it's your metaphor
    Yeah I've seen your face around here
    uh ha
    step left
    uh ha
    step right
    uh ha
    look left
    uh ha
    look right

    Bang Bang now your dead
    now the cats will never go on bed
    bang bang now your dead
    now the cats will never go on bed

    step left
    step right
    step left
    step right
    step left
    step right
    step left
    step right

    Bang Bang now your dead
    now the cats will never go on bed
    bang bang now your dead
    now the cats will never go on bed

    the Blessed urge of the day sun
    to blow away your fucking head

    you plastered this like renaissance
    well big man you're fucking dead


    (hey - I never said it was meaningful, just I was really into it at the moment. Also it is a bit more gutiar driven when actually sung )

    Anyway - second surreal moment. Realising you are asking girlie type relationship advice from a gay man. Yeah, like HE would know :P


    Also been watching season 1 Chuck as a download (on my crappy base level ADSL1 connection that takes days to download an ep). Good fun, except in my soppy old age born again teen angst I am seeing it less as a Spy Fi/Comedy and more as a Spy Fi/Romance. I am seriously getting into the fact Chuck really has a thing for Sarah but knows it is only pretend and the fact Sarah actually really deep down feels for Chuck but wont confess it.

    AWWWWWWWW :) XXXXXX

    happy history
    Hi Kids,

    was talking via email today with one of my muso friends and getting a bit into the gossip side of things.

    Now what you need to remember about the Adelaide band scene is that as far as I can make out there are 500 bands but only about 10 musos and they just mix and match to make up all the different bands.

    Also these 10 musos have all dated each other at one time or the other.

    Now that would all be cool except for people we like to refer to as DRUG FUCKED WANKERS who unfortunately seem to make really bad ex's.

    So I was making the joke that maybe I didn't have enough cred to hang with the local scene as I didn't have the pre-rec quota of weird and scary ex's.

    Then I got thinking about it a bit more and realised that out of all the people I have dated over the years none of them have ever left me with scary bad feelings towards them and basically all of them have been really nice people. Okay, for various reason (and lets be honest here, we can probably point some of the blame at Mr M. Crab here... like 5% maybe... okay, 7...8% tops...:D) I am not currently dating any of them now which means as couples we never worked out in a long term sense but there are none of them I have bad feelings towards.

    So - big happy smiley memories to all the girls I ever dated :D

    if in doubt, eat pizza, watch Aliens
    Had a very frustrating... actually scrub that, bits of the night were rather fun.

    Just who would have believed that pinning someone down long enough to ask the RELATIVELY simple question of 'you know I REALLY like you right? Are you cool with that?' would be so hard.

    sigh.

    frustrating.

    So I got pizza on the way home and watched Aliens.

    So in summary, my end result from the night is I am frustrated, fat and have a strong desire to talk Gung Ho for the rest of the week.

    MARINES!!!!!!!! WE ARE LEAVING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Stuff... cause cool headlines are hard to find
    Hi Kids,

    I'm not dead.

    I have been to a funeral though. Patrick, the member of my Extended Pub Family who died 3 weeks ago finally had his service on Tuesday.

    All very confused in the end. First it was going to be a private coroner type thing as no one has found his will yet and, since his next of kin live in Ireland, there was some probs with having the body released or something equally legal and bollocks.

    Then on the weekend it suddenly became changed to a public service. Trouble was a rumour when around that it was now a big traditional Irish Catholic even complete with priest and trimmings. Since we all know Patrick was at best a lapsed Catholic and would not have wanted that sort of thing a few of our group decided not to go out of respect for Patrick's wishes.

    That and the fact we are now basically have/having three wakes. We had the informally gathering the day after we found out he had died, the one after the service yesterday and have another one this Saturday. I don't want to sound heartless as Patrick was a wonderful fun man but how much grieving is a man meant to be doing these days. I just don't want them to turn into an excuse to party which is what Tuesday started to turn into when a few of the guys when into the other bar and started playing pool.


    So yeah, anyway... in gossip that doesn't involve grieving I went on Saturday up in the hills to watch my friend's band 'Legless' play. It was just far enough out of the suburbs to start to have creepy scary locals in this pub. You know the sort, those weird country people who marry their cousins and only like LOCAL PEOPLE.

    So, band is out the band room and I am standing in the corner up against the bar/wall/doorway with this door back into the kitchen part of the pub next to me. Which is all good and harmless expect for the fact their was this girl (as in girl in the 'YOUNG' sense of the word) who I assumed was the daughter of the pub owners or something. She kept coming in and out of this door and appearing next to me, taking a photo or two and then disappearing back into the bar.

    Which would be fine if this girl wasn't about 4 foot 10 and so effectively snuck up on me like a stealth ninja and every time I shifted weight from one foot to the other I ended up nearly rubbing up against her.

    "Hi Babe! I'm probably twice your age! Enjoying the Band??"

    ARRRRRRRRRRR

    Which still was okay cause after the first set I made sure I didn't stand by that doorway again.

    Trouble was then was that she had hooked up with one of her mates and while I am watching the other sets of the band and doing that little look around the crowd between songs thing I notice this girl is looking at me. Almost constantly.

    Which was a little creepy so while at the bar later I mentioned it to my mate Paulie who I was there with. He laughed at me (hahaha) and said 'Ha, you are paranoid....oh actually you are right, she IS looking over here at you.'

    ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR - SCARY COUNTRY PEOPLE!!!!

    Fortunately I escaped with my life - although my sanity was long gone :P

    (actually been gone for years, but you knew that already :D )


    Also, I have jury duty!!!! WTF??!

    stolen from Facebook
    65 Questions You've Probably Never Been Asked...

    (and stolen from Miss Cudz on her FB page - Hi Cudz XXXX )


    1. First thing you wash in the shower?
    my head - get in back to the water and sort of start from the top down

    2. What color is your favorite hoodie?
    not sure I own one

    3. Would you kiss the last person you kissed again?
    haven't kissed her properly yet, but yes

    4. Do you plan outfits?
    unless buying a suit counts, no

    5. How are you feeling RIGHT now?
    alert, but disinterested - hence the reason I am doing Memes instead of getting ready

    6. Whats the closest thing to you that is red?
    a pencil

    7. Tell me about the last dream you remember having?
    oh this is cool and from last night. I was, for some reason, riding a bike somewhere and got talking to some army types who were doing some stuff with some M113 type tracked armoured vehicles. So I chat away and help them tow one of the vehicles inside the base. Except the army woman goes in, and I, since I know I don't have a pass and shouldn't be trying to get in, don't take the APC I am towing on my bike in after her.

    Then I think I can't leave it here, I'll take it with me so it doesn't get stolen and bring it back tomorrow and so go off on my bike to Grandma's house (! yes, there was some old rellie involved). About half way there I realise that maybe I should of told someone I was looking after it for them and these little knee high soldier toys (you know, sort of Action Men) come looking for their vehicle.

    Hmmmm... yes... :D

    THEN, different dream but no less trippy from a earlier in the week. There is this small town in the outback or something that turns out to have a practical working relationship with some local werewolves. This was one of those dreams where you somehow go from being part of it to being someone watching it like a movie. So I am 'watching' this dream and the 'visitors to the town' discover the werewolf thing and decide 'hey, I am cool with that' and help to kill the cows they fed the wolves. (which strangely happened to be these three diary cows which get put into these sort of milking frames, turned upside down and then clearly have the back of their necks cut with a small knife!). THEN, the 'visitor' character goes outside and in this voiceover which is telling the 'rules of the town' says "and don't upset the BEASTS" and this MASSIVE dog/wolf thing - we are talking so big it can be seen from orbit MASSIVE here - grabs him and eats him and then picks up the landrover 4WD in it's jaws (remember that word MASSIVE I used before? THAT big) and starts burying it as like a bone.

    Wish I could remember the rest of that one - it would have made a great little mini horror movie :)

    8. Did you meet anybody new today?
    0900 sunday, bit early

    9. What are you craving right now?
    Laken - hehe

    10. Do you floss?
    no

    11. What comes to mind when I say cabbage?
    white butterflys

    12. Are you emotional?
    everything is an emotion, love, hate, joy. Embrace it and let it out :)

    13. Have you ever counted to 1,000?
    I think I did when I was a kiddling once

    14. Do you bite into your ice cream or just lick it?
    bite I think. normally only eat when at movies, so it is a bite first

    15. Do you like your hair?
    YEAP - looks good this way

    16. Do you like yourself?
    yeah, except for the hair :D

    17. Would you go out to eat with George W. Bush?
    yeah

    18. What are you listening to right now?
    Toxic Shock and Miss Golly Gosh
    ("Bang Bang now your Dead! Now the cats will never go on bed. Bang Band now your Dead! Now the cats will never go on bed. The blessed urge of the day sun, to blow your fucking head. We plasted this life like renassience, well big man your fucking dead!")

    or something like that, screamo Grrrrrrrrrrrrl rock can be hard to make out sometimes - just go with the anger of it all and enjoy it :D

    19. Are your parents strict?
    at the moment they are in Europe - can't be strict from that far

    20. Would you go sky diving?
    (joke about jumping out of a perfectly good plan)

    21. Do you like cottage cheese?
    prefer a firmer one just to eat

    22. Have you ever met a celebrity?
    yeap. Lacrosse GOD Gary Gait might be the highest I rate. No movie types. Fair few band types and I also know a reasonable amount of political types although mainly at state level.

    23. Do you rent movies often?
    no

    24. Is there anything sparkly in the room you're in?
    (looking... probably only the lights on the modem.

    25. How many countries have you visited?
    Oz, Canada, USA, Venarutu (sp?) French Calidonia (fuel stop and transit longue), Taiwan (same, transit)

    26. Have you made a prank phone call?
    nope

    27. Ever been on a train?
    yes

    28. Brown or white eggs?
    are the brown ones chocolate??

    29.Do you have a cell-phone?
    no - I have a mobile

    30. Do you use chap stick?
    I have a Crab Stick :D

    31. Do you own a gun?

    33. Who are you going to be with tonight?
    Sunday night - unlikely to be anyone

    34. Are you too forgiving?
    maybe - do they deserve to be forgiven? I can hold a grudge but I am professional about it.

    35. Ever been in love?
    Yes

    36. What is your best friend(s) doing tomorrow?
    Hmmmm.... Monday? Working before going home to their family?

    37. Ever have cream puffs?
    think so, creamy type cakes are not really my thing

    38. Last time you cried?
    Dawn service yesterday morning a bit, otherwise at my Aunt's funeral

    39. What was the last question you asked?
    yesterday at the laundry 'Where you in here earlier? Was that your phone left here?'

    40. Favorite time of the year?
    not sure - each part has it's moment. Summer is great as you can sit outside and drink beer at the pub till all hours in just shorts and t-shirt and look at all the pretty gals... or the colder months where the act of going from cold outside to warm open fire inside is just so socially forfilling

    41. Do you have any tattoos?
    no - scars

    42. Are you sarcastic?
    Me? NOOOOOOOO!

    43. Have you ever seen The Butterfly Effect?
    In the sense have I ever been hunting dinosaurs and accidently killed something I shouldn't have and changed my own time line for the worse? No, never

    44. Ever walked into a wall?
    no, barbed wire fence (in the dark) and once on the bus I was trying to do that really cool thing where I walk up towards the back and then turned blind to sit down and smacked my eye straight onto the push to stop buttons they have on the vertical posts. THAT HURT!!

    45. Favorite color?
    Not sure - been wearing a lot of black t-shirts in my born again band slut mode.

    46. Have you ever slapped someone?
    dunno - maybe

    47. Is your hair curly?
    dunno

    48. What was the last CD you bought?
    Miss Golly Gosh 'Demo CD' at the Mt Gambier gig. Most bands give me CDs these days as they think I am super cool Band Photo Guy and cause I give them photos.

    49. Do looks matter?
    yes.... but no.... sorta.... within reason and context.

    50. Could you ever forgive a cheater?
    A few years ago I was in a sort of advanced flirting with a girl where to both of us it seemed like we were about to fall into a REALLY hot relationship, probably on the Friday when we could both catch up next. Then mid week she tells me 'oh yeah, you know that Doctor from work, the one I told you I wasn't interested in and how I said I wasn't going to play you off against each other? well, ummm, I am really sorry about this and I don't want to hurt you and I still want to be friends but I was actually over at his place last night when you messaged me...'

    THAT HURT.

    Blew about a months disposable that week on a Sub Woofer as shopping theropy and then the next Christmas sent her a bitchy text message asking if she got the kitten I sent her as a present (she was painfully allergic to cats... ). *I* can be a bitch too :D

    51. Is your phone bill sky high?
    last months I seemed to go txt crazy and was high - but mostly no.

    52. Do you like your life right now?
    needs a few more people in it... well, actually one person... hehe :)

    53. Do you sleep with the TV on ?
    no - same with radio - I will stay awake and listen to it

    54. Can you handle the truth?
    yes

    55. Do you have good vision?
    yeah - which is weird as the rest of my immediate family wear glasses nearly all the time these days.

    56. Do you hate or dislike more than 3 people?
    did a quick count - think I got to 3 - so that would be no.

    Actually I could go higher, but not sure public figures really count.

    57. How often do you talk on the phone?
    once or twice a day maybe. I txt or email more if I need to communicate.

    58. The last person you held hands with?
    Laken

    59. What are you wearing?
    I am still in my 'just got up' mode - so the slob daggy stuff you only wear where the curtains closed.

    60.What is your favorite animal?
    Hippos for some reason

    61. Where was your default picture taken at?
    at the house of another camera geek. He was playing with my new lenses.

    62. Can you hula hoop?
    not tried in years. so lets say no.

    63. Do you have a job?
    yes

    64. What was the most recent thing you bought?
    mushrooms, spicy sausage, bag of chips and two boxes of Smarties. Chips were snack, mushrooms and sausages were for last nights tea and the smarties are my pre-game thing for lacrosse and which I will eat for the blood sugar in about a hours time. (big meal night before, then drink lots next morning before scuffing the smarties. Empty stomach and a blood stream high on sugar - works for me :D)

    65. Have you ever crawled through a window?
    yes


    (hmmmm... more music from Miss Golly Gosh...

    Dawn
    Went to the service this morning.

    Ended up going straight from town without having gone home first so I was self conciously hiding my band t-shirt under my coat and trying to look respectable.

    I ended up getting there just after 5 which was a lot early then I normally manage to get there. Even then there are people waiting, some sitting around on folding chairs implying they had been there a lot longer.

    It's a strange moment. It is a weird emotional occasion which fills you with pride but at the same time makes you want to cry your eyes out.

    My parents are actually in Turkey this year as part of their big Europe holiday they have just started. Worked out with the time difference it was probably lunch time there. Imagine that, they would have been awake for several hours climbing up hills while back home most of us are still asleep in bed.


    Started to rain at the end. I thought that was fitting somehow.
