Fuck Yeah!
Mucking around and running the new keyboard through disortion pedal and big-arse valve amp and it sounds FUCKING AWESOME. The beats sound chopped-up and ragged and some of the sounds suddenly become full and chaotic ...
Plus, it has a record function! Hit record, play something, hit playback ... simple. Much easier than fritzing with Ableton Live on the computer, which I still...

Dodgy keyboard I bought on eBay arrived today.
Fuck!
It is so very dodgy. A totally old Casio-Tone vibe - with preset rythyms and built in speakers. It looks like an old-school ghetto blaster with a massive keyboard attached to it. The built-in sounds are terrible, none of them sound anything at all like what they are meant ... the trumpet is particularly aborhent.

I want to go to Sigur Ros. But I don't.
Bought tickets for X for Xmas. Back when she wasn't X. Sigur Ros are like 'our' band ... I haven't even been able to listen to them for years, ever since our first break-up long ago. But I want to see them. People rave about them live, and the music is totally amazing. When you...

I managed to sprain my wrist at training last night. Not badly, but enough to be annoying. Had ice on it most of the day.
Was over work - not really much good at typing with one hand, and generally seasonally affected by the crappy Melbourne weather, so just left at 4, came home to read and have a bath and eat hot cross buns....

New cover for our next gig:
Flock of Seagulls, I Ran
Very fun to play.
I am like, *totally* into the 80s at the moment.
I missed them at the time because, I didn't have any older siblings or anyhing and was largely immune to popular culture - side-effect of being a geek. Learnt to program Basic at the age of 6 but had NO...

Quinne has a new set and she totally looks like a girl I went out with. Not just in the new set, but in general.
Actually, come to think of it, that's how I found SG ... I saw an ad with Quinne and I thought it was this friend of mine.

deanna:
lucky you 
vapourized:
nah, she just moved to adelaide with her boyfriend.
Moved house on the weekend. Minutes of fun. I only moved because my old place was sold ... was living by myself and now I am back in the share house system, albeit with a rather plumb setup. I've got an entire 2-storey garaga/bungalow area to myself ... all our band equipment including my drums! (for the first time in, well, ages, I am living...

Anything to do tonight in sunny Melbourne?
I'm already bored.
Everyone I know is going to a party that I am not invited to. Which is AWESOME! Person involved has been pretending not to hate me for like, 18 months ... and this is the first time she's just gone, FUCK THAT!, I hate him, he's not getting an invite.
Of course, given that my...

I've started writing again. A side-effect of breaking-up, I suspect ... at a loss after what turns out to 5 years of tumult - but who was counting?
I was always going to be a writer, but stopped 10 years ago after being programmed by a beam of pink-white light while lying naked, hudlling and foetal on the bathroom floor. Long story.
Although code probably...

I am so over my job that I don't even care anymore. Which is mostly nice, things kind-of flow.
I am getting better at boxing ... haven't actually been training ~very~ hard, but working on my technique. Was joking last week as I walked through the city drunk and wearing my Barbie t-shirt that I want to get into a fight. Oh, and was called...
