Musical woes-The Naked and Famous are coming to Melbourne, but as part of the Future Music festival, which is otherwise comprised of bands I don't like/have never heard of. Bombay Bicycle Club (an English band my friend got me into) are doing a gig in Melbourne, but tickets for that sold out. And then theres the Cranberries at the Music Bowl, but as I've previously mentioned, they are in a supporting role. However, runtimes say that Cranberries have from 7:30PM to 8:30PM, so I reckon I might go along anyways.

Motts lack of courage/purpose/willingness to do my bidding is messing with my groove

Had about 10-11 pints of it because I found a place that did half price guiness so was only 1.70 a pint. Then bought some more guiness, in can form, and drank the 8 of them

How in the hell does this add up to not being drunk?!?!

I didnt say I wasnt drunk but that was over the course of like 6 hours. I just meant I didnt pass out I was just shattered from early morning start and heavy Guiness.

Slow Ben- Yeh it just seems to happen

I've spent the last ten minutes curled up on the floor of the Ipswich Library ladies room after having removed all food, bile and probably parts of my stomach as well from within. I still have to walk to the bus, catch it home and walk home. If I wasn't so allergic to emotions I'd probably consider crying about it but instead I'm going to go rinse my mouth.....

Good Samaritans.

Usually I love good samaritans - I praise them, I applaud them, I celebrate them. I even try to be one of them. But sometimes their concern is not at all wanted.

When I am trying to focus on not passing out the last thing I need is a bus load of concerned, wanna be doctors. I already thanked you for your concern and said I don't need any help so please get out of my personal space. I'm having enough trouble breathing without you being in my face. No, I'm not diabetic. No, I don't want your water. No, I'm not got to throw up on your f'ing bus. I just need to be left alone and taken to my bus stop.

To be fair, the moment I got off the bus I went straight to a trash can and continued my efforts to rid myself of a digestive track.

Where the hell is my next bus?!??

Why thank you, you're cigarette smoke is EXACTLY what I need right now. I mean, who doesn't like a lungful of contaminated air when their sick. I bet you I know someone who needs it even less than me – your newborn child whose face you just exhaled RIGHT INTO! Seriously, mother of the year right here. But I mean, of course, it would be too hard to at least turn your f'ing head to exhale when you can't even manage it to keep an eye on your four year old who happens to be on the BLOODY BUSWAY! Be all means, please, do keep playing on your phone. Oh look a bus. No, not gonna look up…..not gonna pay attention to the fact that your kid is right on the edge of the platform…..no? Well, getting that high score on Angry Birds is more important than the fact that your kid has certain death heading towards him at 50km per hour. FFS, allow me. I'll just do your bloody job for you, shall I?



I'm sorry? What was that? 'Don't touch my kid?' You mean the one I just kept from being put to rest early because his mother is a f'ing self-centred cow who can't even keep her f'ing eye on her own kid? 'Then fucking watch him, bitch.' So sure, I could have been more eloquent but I doubt you know the difference between a five and a ten. Then again, you do look like you've probably pulled enough tricks to know that the tens are the blue ones. Oh, and look, the bus driver is telling you to watch your bloody kid too. Guess I'm not the only one who thinks your observational skills need improving.



Let's just be glad that it's my bus because right now I can't decide whether I want to deck you or just throw up on your shoes. FFS!



This is why I never leave the house.







At least I'm home now.


EDIT: Sorry, about all the swearing....

Bummer. Hope you feel better soon, or at least figure out wtf is causing it.

I have the next 2 days off, so except for lunch tomorrow (over at Strathpine), if you need a lift home or to the hospital let me know.

Grandfather who's ill had to be taken off his antibiotics and he needs a transfusion to get his bloodcell count up. Now he's getting worse, and he's too stubborn to get the transfusion and the only person on the planet with the power to make him do it (my grandmother) is taking a 'well it's gonna be what its gonna be' attitude instead of a 'god damn it do what the fucking doctors tell you' attitude.

Ugh, that sucks! I hate that kind of quasi-fatalistic attitude...I mean, would your grandmother be happy if he died? Probably not! This might sound cruel but if I were in that position I'd have a serious talk with your grandmother (assuming you haven't already) and lay it on the line, maybe that'll snap her out of it? I know this isn't the same thing but when my mom was in hospital recently I kept having to be all "shit just got real" with her whenever she'd start being overly fatalistic and it did help, though I felt like a total bitch every time I put on my mean face. It did work, at least.

Like I said it was over like 6 hours and I weigh about 100KG (I thought I only weighed 90 but then weighed myself today and im smack on 100) and have been drinking Guiness for years. It was the early stat coupled with ehavy Guiness. I usually drink lager but I put that away as it goes down really easy, so I went with Guiness because its a slower pint to drink and I knew I wouldnt drink as much. Might have been slightl longer than 6 hours aswell.

Messing with my groove- Had to buy another phone. Its a shit one like last time but atleast the people in the shop were very helpful and did it with no fuss at all.

Me myself and I, we are all happily (royally) messing with my groove today.

[QuickTidal]

Arg. I have to go today in a car with a salesperson (whom I dislike) to drive for 1hr 15min out of town to a customer location...just to be the art guy in the meeting...and then he is driving us back...

It messes with my groove enough to have to sit in a car with this douche for 2.5hrs total....but on top of that the ONLY time they could hold the meeting was 3:30PM (are you fucking kidding me?! When we have to drive all the way out there?!)....meaning I won't get back into town to my place till somewhere around 7PM (I usually leave work at 4:30PM since I get here at 8AM). Fuck!

Don't want to go!

Having one of those days where I feel like I'm surrounded by incompetent fools. I seem to be the only person at work with even the vaguest idea about UK Health & Safety Law - and all of that only comes from looking online at the government websites! We're moving out of the university and into our own premises so have to have a H&S procedure in place or we'll get taken to the cleaners if someone has an accident (not to mention have to live with the knowledge that our incompetence caused someone to get injured - we work with acids, solvents and combustibles every bloody day!). I feel like shaking these people! I know H&S is a modern day horror story but at it's most basic level of protecting people from hazards at work, it is quite necessary.

you may be missing an obvious opportunity for a enriched early retirement here.

[Mezla PigDog]

If you can think of an accident involving acids, solvents and or combustibles (we also have a circular saw) that can be orchestrated to be worth the compensation, I'll give it my best shot!

[DeadHedge]

My grooves being messed up by having to for out another £800 on my car that ive only owned for a year an I have already spent £1500 on. Never buying a french car ever again!
