Musings

1) Do not sit down to watch Australian Idol with drunk Thao. He muses on concepts such as "Instead of using a microphone all contestants should have to hold a live rainbow trout and the real challenge would be to sing while maintaining your grip on the trout." Funny yes, but then the problem is you can't hear the contestants sing coz you're all so busy laughing and then you miss out on the fun of critiquing their abilities.

2) Me, Jarrod, Jords and Thao chilled out on the floor of the Northcote Social Club bandroom to watch a chick called Pikelet use a repeater to fuck around with instruments. The highlight of that act was Thao loudly whispering "Yes!" when she brought out the piano accordian because I quote "I love chicks with an accordian!" I enjoyed the main act of Ned Collette with his folk music as did Jords but Jarrod and Thao found t not to their culinary pleasing.

3) I've decided to go to the Symphony Orchestra next time a good one pops up that I can afford. I'm forcing Jarrod to come but Thao says he's up for it. Anyone keen? We can get all dressed up and pretend to be snooty!

Poor bastard. I always liked Steve Irwin and i'm genuinely sad to hear he died.

What I don't get are the people saying at least he died doing what he loved. Sure, he was filming a documentary encouraging humans to care more about the environment and species non-sapiens but i'm thinking being gored by a stingray can't be a pleasant way to go.

Naja. Es geht.
