I'm so happy, flattered, shocked and downright amazed right now: I just got a call from the magazine and they offered me the editor's position.
I have until close of business tomorrow to decide whether or not to take it, and I'm earmarking today and most of tomorrow to thinking over how I can logically do this while living 100ks away from the offices. I... Read More
-Uni semester: Over.
-My marks: Awesome.
-Weight loss: still going strong.
-A German Spectacle: now has a permanent drummer.
-Tax return: just shy of a grand - will be buying a speaker cab and a new guitar shortly.
-CD reviews: All done, and I'm giving some page space to some of my favourite local bands this month which I'm very psyched about. -EDIT: I now... Read More
In a little over two weeks I'll have lived in Australia for six years, and in this time I've slowly adjusted and adapted to this country and its customs. In the last week, however, I've sped up this process and made a massive leap towards becoming a true blue Australian - allow me to explain.
In many ways I'm still an American at heart -... Read More

Feeling all better now - no more congestion, no more sore throat: I'm back! Just need to finish off these antibiotics which I'll do tomorrow and I can drink again! As lame as it's been refusing drinks, these last two weekends have been fun. Every now and again I'll get a nice reminder that I don't need to be shitfaced drunk to have a good... Read More
It's been a week since I started feeling sick; feeling much better now but I'm not out of the woods yet. I still need a box of tissues within arms reach at all times, and my sore throat is still, well, sore, although its nothing compared to the "holy shit someone's stabbing me in the neck" pain I was getting whenever I swallowed earlier. For... Read More
I just spat a mouthful of breakfast against a wall. It seems that in my constant state of nasal congestion not only does foot get caught as as I inhale, but I don't have enough saliva to swallow it thanks to all the mouth-breathing. This is quickly overshadowed by the sudden urge to vomit -... Read More
I was taking anti-biotics and I still feel like death, but the retarded doctor I went to last night to get more said I didn't need them... So today I am dying.
It's not often I go to a gig and have a crazy amount of fun.
Sure, Iron Maiden earlier this year was a teenage daydream come true, and seeing Lifetime late last year was a homecoming of sorts that came to me from halfway across the world and one of the best things I've ever seen/heard, but for the most part I go out, have... Read More
Adelaide is pretty kewl so far. It's been busy and i was back at work last Thursday so i haven't really had time to explore and absorb as much as I would have liked. BUT!!! I am meeting some of the SG crew this coming weekend so it should be lots of fun ^_^
Cheers for the heads up on your mates band, i will keep an eye out for the name and if im not working i'll check em out
We had our first Punks Picnic since before apec on Sunday,it was held at a new place and was very clandestine,secret meeting places and hpone direction on the day kinda deal,but it was great..beautiful weather,some beers and kick ass tunes,i saw a great band from Melbourne called Useless Children,noisey chaotic screachy punk
How is your week treating you,im working ( and thus on night shift) so i have just been eating and sleeping so far
There's a storm a'brewin' inside my head, but outside has never looked clearer.
I went in for a meeting with the tutor for my short story course today, and got back my first short story. It had one measly correction on it, and according to him I got one of the highest marks in the entire course. He told me I have genuine promise as... Read More
I attended a gig and neglected to watch any of the bands. I drank a stupid amount of beer and wine two nights in a row and wasn't visited by the hangover fairy (he/she/it must not know were I live, I've moved and haven't submitted a change of address form). I attended a party and took my first cab home... Read More
haha glad you like my dads dreads.
yes everyone seems to have this flu thing, i had a week off work because of it, but im mostly better now, just left with a cough.
In the past 8+ months I've grown too cynical towards music to trust any possible collaborator's word, but sometime soon I could be having a jam with a band my friend is putting together - looking forward to it.
Life is great. I had my first piece of assessment due last week and I did a really good job on it; an 800-word news feature... Read More
Friday: Game Boy music in West End. Drinking in a carpark and missing my friend's band as a result. Cabbing to the Valley, meeting new people, talking with old friends and drinking until 2:30 when my body felt like it was shutting down. Had a slice of pizza and walked home.
Saturday: Death metal in the Valley. Perved on metal chicks, drank beer and was... Read More
- Went back to uni, and this time around I'm going to do it right. See you on campus fellow artsy types, I'll be the guy with the canvas bag littered with buttons and huge headphones.
- Worked 20 hours. I don't think I've worked that much in a week since we put the shop together.
my best mate isn't metal anyway so that was my excuse, you see... haha.
I got a tax return of about a grand too, it was awesome. Paid off my car. Woohoo!
Thanks
