Well, well, well

First of all, I'd like to say that the friends, family and people involved in the US tragedy are very much in my heart, thoughts and prayers.

Secondly, I'd like to say I'm rather inebriated at this point in time.

Flatmates had their first real gig tonight, thanks to anyone who might read this that turned up.

It was at Indigo, and went off, I, knew all the words and was 'air-drumming' but considering they practice in my living room that's expected.

Personally, I'm going to advertise any further gigs this band have around Wellington (& N.Z) and I'd like to see anyone who can. Crazywld's the one who looks like he's s'posed to be in ballet shoes.

And I'm the trashed one air drumming thruout and giving hugs after the concert.

Good night guys!! Hope you enjoyed it as much as we did!

Constant, Over, Stimulation, Numbs Me

Woah, I'm on four hours sleep, I've had the most fucked up 24 hours in my life.

I was sitting with Robin and Seth watching one of my numerous videos last night, all is reasonable and normal, until the glass starts breaking. Seth and I freeze to realise the sound is coming from my room. On further investigation, nobody was trying to break into my room, which was good, however breaking glass was falling from the floor above me down onto the varandah outside my window. So Robin gets up, goes upstairs, and the guys room has been trashed. There are huge holes in the windows, heaps of smashed stuff and it's generally not a pretty sight. Robin took off to the bar which we rent the flat off to report it, turns out the guy works there, and his girlfriend was responsible. So there ya go guys.... how much do you trust your girl?

Then, having had 4 hours sleep, I was awakened to find that it's raining..... in my hallway!!! Now this wouldn't be too strange if we were say, at the top of the building, but, we have two floor above us. The rain was coming down, through two floors and into our hall, and onto the carpet we have there, so now it's (the carpet) nailed onto our wall, with five or so heaters going to dry it out before the flat warming tomorrow.

I'm beginning to understand why (1) We have hardwood floors and (2) the rent's so cheap.

Bugger.

First flat fight erupted yesterday, unfortunately it involved me, and I am left feeling like shit. Bugger.

Has anyone ever noticed, walking down Lambton Quay, either in the early morning, midday or evening that there are two lanes of foot traffic? It's almost like a road, in fact it even works by 'staying on the left' it's a strange phenomenon. Anyway, have you ever seen this and wondered what it would be like just to walk down the wrong 'lane'? Well, after I pointed this out to D, one of my flatmates, he took great joy in walking down the wrong one singing out 'Anarchy Rules!' Now this is typical D behaviour, so I wasn't weirded out or anything, but seeing all these suits swerve around the madman saying "Anarchy Rules" loudly has got to be one of the funniest things I've seen for a while...

I don't know, maybe you had to be there...
