Oh, and in other news, yesterday my company gave me a *lot* of share options.

And I mean a total *fuckload*.... let's just say if things come together for the company it will be enough to set me up rather nicely.

I'm still in shock.

Of course this means that I will be shackled to the company for the next 18 months.

Dear Lord ...

Last night, was, shall we say, interesting, to say the least. Packed room of incredibly drunk people ... cheap (very cheap) beer. Utter insanity.

One cute girl was *trolleyed* and staggering around randomly, always with another fresh pint ... she was very sick, and we convinced her to get the hell out and go home. She told Charlie as she left that...

Tomorrow night I am being dragged to the 'Dallas Bar' - allegedly a wretched hive of scum and villainy. My friend Charlie is quite keen on the place, and as much as I love him, I am pretty sure his affection is solely because it is (very) easy to pick up there. Plus they have $8 bottomless pints from 9-10 and again from 11-12.

Fuck....

Despite the fact I don't actually drink anymore, I left work for lunch and spent the afternoon drinking beer. Never actually made it back to work.

I managed to crash my bike into a pole near Carlton Gardens ... my hands are grazed from my rather ungracious landing.

If I could just convince myself that she is not The One, this would be so much easier ... but no matter...

Bizarre fact for the day:

In the 18th and 19th Centuries it was common to bind accounts of murder trials in the killers skin - known as anthropodermic bibliopegy.

i was thinking last night that rather than a political band I want to create a philosophical band ... a band dedicated to a particular metaphysical or epistimelogical point of view, like Objectivism or Platonism.

And be *really* into it ... bands with causes only work when you are really earnest about them, otherwise it just becomes a joke.

Perhaps even an existential band ......

INC were very very cool!

Lead singer is crazy, he surfed out on the crowd and hung from the rafters, dance like a maniac ... has some of the best microphone skills I've ever seen ... twirls, catches, throwing to other band members, it was pretty hilarious

I love Scandanavians, they're always so earnest ... must be the cold and darkness or something ... INC...
