! (the blog formally known as)

Fuck.
I haven't posted on ye' old E.Coffee in ages, and it is such a shame because i was just reading all the happy blogs we used to have and then it made me sleepy. I did not dream of blogs though. What did i dream of, you ask? That story is for another day, my friends, another day....i remember one time i had a dream where i was trying to make a vacuum cleaner appear like magic...because, you see, i knew i was in a dream! HAH. Ok next paragraph.

SO MUCH has changed since i last started using this. It's fucking incredible. I look at the blog links on the side of this page, and they link to peoples blogs, and i'm not even friends with some of them anymore.
Now, to start off, i might have to remind you old E.Coffee fans that i have always had a forgetful memory of events and happenings, and it was a main aspect of my everyday posts back in the day. So, instead of saying what has CHANGED, i'll just tell you where i am now, and you can sort of compare it with previous posts or some fuck like that....

Ahem...

#1
I have the most awesomest girlfriend Courtney, who is in Year 12. We play Mario Kart and are very competitive at it. She listens to good music, we hang out a LOT, we love each other, and the world has never been merrier for Jim. I could tell you so much more, but i doubt anyone will read this anyways. I think we'll be together for a while though.

#2
I'm able to grow facial hair these days, and i went through a phase where i would grow goatees then shave them off when i got bored.
#3
I'm much better at guitar and bass, being able to play along with almost anything (music i listen to, and with other people). Me and Marty recently jammed to some Beck, Akira Yamouka and Bomberman/Mario Kart themes. I wanna join some crazy bongo/dual guitar solo/operatic singing/guitar feedback band.
#4
I'm getting a lot closer to adulthood, which is scary because i don't want to be one of those middle-aged people that DON'T want to play DDR, drink bourban, play playstation, watch anime, talk about animal sex, whip people with flicky hair, etc.
#5
I hate so much more people in our year level than I used to! I remember in Year 9 everyone kept telling me how loving i was towards everyone. I'm still nice to people, but some others can just get the fuck away! Fook off.
#6
Mr. Squirrel is now a worldwide phenomenon. Is that how you spell it? My friend in Ohio just got his first pube. This statement was false, but it was a space-filler. LMAO at me hitting Dav's dog with a bible really hard.
#7
I'll soon be a busker, because of very influential shit. After watching a whole range of movies, and listening to stuff like David Bowie all year, it has made me want to reeeally do something like busking, so i start that pretty soon.
#8
HOMGZ HEAPZ MORRE IZ DIFRENT CUZ IT BEEN ALMOSD A YEAR
#9
Nah there isn't a #9 i'm done now.

Heaps have changed though...i still listen to the same music, but a lot more better bands though...i'm slowly appreciating more genres of music, which is good.
RECENT EVENTS - manifest, etc (cbf going into detail, ill do it later)

Emo's have slowly grown over time too. Wow, this feels like i'm writing a review on how the world has changed in a years time...fook off quitely.
>Jim

Alright, hear this

OKAY i just decided to re-write what i just spent 15 minutes writing.
So here it is.

REASON FOR COMING BACK TO EXTRA COFFEE
Myspace and MSN are gay, blogs are cool

SCHOOL
I can't get school off my mind, probably because i'm stressed out from THREE intense subjects i'm doing (literature, biology, history) and i'm avoiding study, whilst at the same time, becoming afraid of failing. D+ on my first SAC, and i did embarresingly bad on my LIT essay which i did a couple of days ago.
Also, it's good not having as many animals roaming the joint, although some have decided to stay, and it's just wasting everyones time because people dont find them funny anymore.
Also, i'd like to welcome the newest member of the group, named Max, who is tall and we've been camping many times.

WEEKENDS
I've bene too tired to do anything super cool on most weekends, so...Metal Gear Solid records and working have become COMMON. I'm super good at Metal Gear Solid because i play it lots, and i brush my teeth when i watch spongebob squarepants.

AFTER SCHOOL
I have been coming home, playing my new JAZZ GUITAR which is an Ibanez, priced at $900 (but bought for $750) and she plays like a....dream. It's amazing. Oh, and this also means that PINEAPPLE FUSION will be starting! Although, ive been tired (due to unknown reasons) lately, so my guitar skills havent been top notch, so ill just wait another day like i always do.

OTHER THINGS
-'The Corn' video clip is starting to be planned out. Note - 'The Corn' goes for 20 minutes and 3 seconds.
-Mr Squirrel The Squirrel released his 26-track album, although there has been none purchased. Featuring hits such as '3 Minutes And 50 Seconds Of Flanger Feedback And Effects', 'In The Key Of Splah' and 'Funky Insurance'.
-I know i've already said it, BUT I BOUGHT A FREAKIN' JAZZ GUITAR!!!
-I've bought a lot of anime, games and cds. I've bought 19 albums over the couple of months.
-Pineapple Fusion starts soon. They will be playing songs from artists such as Regurgitator, Beck and A.C
-I bought a Super Nintendo
-Me and Beef had a milkshake drinking contest. He won. I dont know what happened to him, but when i walked home i broke out in a cold sweat, feeling dizzy, and when i came home, the first thing i did was sleep for 2 hours. I felt so sick.

Ah man theres probably more, but i can't be bothered sitting here thinking about it for hours. I have better things to do, such as listen to The Corn, and....etc

>Jim

I Love Tommy Mottola

Yes, this blog is still dead, sort of.
BUT, Marty and myself decided to revive the 'everyones top 5 favourite songs' thing from about a year ago, which i held on this blog.

None of Them Knew They Were Robots

These pictures are of my favourite male and female singers, coincidently my two favourite music artists right now, and possibly for a long time.
I've decided to leave this happy mark on my blog, as a warming sort of 'goodbye', unfortunantly. This blog has come a long way, but support hasnt been to common lately, when i scroll down and see ive got like 1 comment from every post, after writing so damn much. I may decide to keep it up every once in a while if i get support, but otherwise...extra coffee is dead.
I'd like to thank everyone who was there from the start of the blogging while, notably Shauno, Dav, Tess, Matt, Beef, DD, Laura, but MOST IMPORTANTLY Marty, for sort of introducing this whole thing to us, and for just reading almost all the shite i have written.

So now i say, GOODBYE, take care, farewell,
>Jimsy

Le Voyage de Penelope

Another juice-filled few weeks have passed, with lack of updates on Extra Coffee. But if i were apologizing, very little people would take notice. Those people being (as usual) Marty and Dav.

Let's get this rampage furiously rolling, starting off with the past week.

Of course, the after exams were celebrated and remembered dearly afterwards, purely consisting of unstoppable nonsense and drinking, perhaps some dancing thrown in. I'm not talking about Matt's party, im talking about the 'lads gettogether'. We werent invited to that party, so we gave a big 'fuck you' and had the best time of the year.

Afterwards, a few pointless events occured. One of which being my adventure to the school on Monday after Year 10 was officially over. I met up with DD, and the plans were to finish our cakes.

No cakes were finished.
....so we headed home.

The following day, i went in to finish my cake, lacking company and having to talk to Ms Hagli for an hour and a half. I gained a few kudos for actually bothering to finish my cake, although the care-factor is low.

Then Wednesday i went in to sort out my subjects for next year, changing around a few things, leaving myself in satisfaction. Sooo...my subjects now are: English, Psychology, 20th Century History, Literature (i dont read, but who gives a fuck), Biology, General Maths (i wanted to ditch maths, but i need it for my psych uni course...annoying shit) and Human + Health Development.
Nerdy subjects, but i spose thats expected for a Year 11 student.
Oh yeah, and i met up with DD and Beef and shiz. People left, and i played basketball with DD for a bit before heading home. Good fun.

Y'know, i just can't be bothered doing all this pointless shit. Sooo much preperation for a future job, so much stress. I mean, if you take an accidental educational stumble in year 11 or 12... your future could be at stake, which is shit. But theres nothing we can really do about it.

Anyways, Thursday i cant really remember doing anything (mental blank).
But on Friday (martayy's bday, happy bday for friday dude), i had invited Rosie, Max, Omar and Dav to my place for a sort of birthday celebration. Sadly and annoyingly, it was minus the lads, but that was because we're celebrating later on, looking in nerdy shops and shite like that. So the friday invited were people who probably werent gonna come to that birthday thing. Yeah.
Anyways, Max and Rosie rocked up, Max gave me a pink cowboy hat and a hip flask, and Rosie gave me a Mr Potato Head in the shape of a penis, then Max took me to my room and stalled me for a while, then when i came back into the lounge, my myspace friend Kell was sitting on my couch, as a surprise guest. First time id met her, and i was extremely lost for words. It was just so damn cool, and it was real nice of her to travel so far for something like that. Yep =]

Omar rocked up later on, gave me suspendors and a ninja turtle pez dispensor (sweeeeet) and then Dav rocked up casually, eating my food, and gave me an Astroboy dvd in which i was most satisfied.
We just played Nintendo 64, watched movies, pranced around Mitcham and laughed at me wearing suspendors. Good fun. Everyone left eventually, except Omar. He stayed the night, and we just experimented on Mario Kart stunts until we fell asleep to an episode of The Young Ones.

The next morning, Omar launched marshmellows off of his afro and caught them in his mouth (also filming it all) and yeah, we stuffed around until he left.

Saturday was spent doing nothing, i was too tired.

Sunday i had the family come over for seafood lunch and birthdayness, because Sunday was my actual birthday. I received a lot of money, a guitar chord 'bible', a flanger effects pedal, chocolate, ticket to Big Day Out 07, clothes, and from my folks i got money and a quality set of huge headphones. I'm happy to say that i'm veryyy satisfied. So far with my money ive bought a double-disced Nick Cave album called 'The Lyre Of Orpheus/Abattoir Blues' which is awesome, The Breakfast Club on dvd (favourite movie of ALL FREAKIN TIME) and Nausicaa of the Valley Of The Desert which is now a new favourite movie. A picture of it is also at the top of this post, and on my desktop :D:D

This week has just been spent lazing around pointlessly listening and watching and toying around with my new presents, and such things.
This has been a long post, jimmy wants bed.

Stay tuned,
>Jimmy

p.s the blog title has nothing to do with the picture

Taking retards to the zoo

Can i get a "ya-hoo"?
Uh, what's that you say? All i can hear is incomprehensable confused mumbles.
But nevermind, im requesting 'ya-hoo's because its the end of exams, and more importantly, Year 10. I'm so glad that the year is over, and that some of us are stepping up into year 11. So, goodbye to lots of jocks and idiots, and hello possible future!

Of course, the after-exams/end of year was celebrated with the lads. We werent invited to Matt's shindig, so we didnt stress it, and had our own thing at Shaunos.
I went to DD's place beforehand, then realised that we had 2 hours to kill before we went to Shauno's.
So, we headed on down to the square to chill and eat chips for a while, talking about who may possibly be dropping out next year, shit like that, and then Tom rocked up out of nowhere and chilled with us for a bit. He had hired 'The Breakfast Club' on DVD which put a smile on my face because its my most favourite movie in the whole world.
Eventually, Tom left. Nicole (who was a former student at our school) came and sat down near me and DD with her shifty smokey looking friends, so me and DD eventually bailed and headed on down to Shaunos.

We rocked up, and we were the first there. Shauno introduced us to the alchohol, we smiled.
Marty came shortly after, then Eric walked up the driveway carrying his bag and thrusting, as if to say 'i scored the scoochy'.
So we had a fair bit of Jim Beam, and a 6-pack of Smirnoffs, and some other random shit.

Lets just say we got drunk early in the night, so the night eventually consisted of plenty of topless dancing to techno, playing Bomberman Tennis with one hand, holding a can in the other, singing along to Marty's tunes on the hammond, ranting and mobile phone documentaries (or as i like to put it, lad-umentaries), calling people, stopping Shauno from calling people, DD air guitaring, etc. Listen, Marty summarised the night really well, check out his blog.

I went to bed early because drunkness makes me sleepy, then woke up early in the morning to join some conversation that was going on. Fell asleep again after putting up with Eric being strange for an hour, woke up at a reasonable time, and me and Eric headed home.

That day i basically just chilled, which i did tomorow aswell (playing Nintendo 64 games on emulators which bring back awesome memories) and today i'll be doing it too :D except i have to head into school to finish off my fucking cake for cooking.

Oh, also....

ITS MY BIRTHDAY ON THE 3RD OF DECEMBER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Exciting, im getting headphones, anime, bass gear, cds possibly, and money.
But yeah, hooray for birthdays!

>Jimsy

There's more to life than this

For a second i gave up on this blog, the obvious reason being the lack of interest by my old fans, but i think this blog will just turn into a...self-satisfactory thing, free for anyone else to read over. Marty seems to be the constant and now the only reader, cheers heaps you son of a gun.

Well, it seems a lot of events has happened since my last post. The problem is: i can hardly remember what i did a couple of days ago, let alone weeks ago. So i'll just post about the 'recent' news.

Last weekend.
Hung out with Chris, Mick and Omar. We met up at Eastland (me being a bit late) and went straight into Hoyts to see Saw 3. The second grousome scene made me feel EXTREMELY ill to be honest. I went in expecting it to be sort of the same as the first Saw movie, but it wasnt, and it came as a shock. I actually starting sweating and shaking, and i left the cinema to wash my face and buy some water.
Some other guy who was about 20 years old also left the movie. He said to me "this movie is just...too much" and i was relieved to find i wasnt the only one and said "YES, i just couldnt take it...i actually felt sick..." and he nodded his head in agreement. I said "im gonna go grab some water, i might see ya back in there" and he laughed and said "catch ya later" or something like that.
I went back in, and the rest of the movie was fine, although it was still really grousome. I just had a bad start. Good movie =]

Anyways, after that, we chilled outside for a bit making jokes about Omar's mum, Mick and Chris smoking like fools. We got bored, and caught a bus to Blackburn to go to Mick's house.
We arrived, grabbed a basketball, and left to go to our school.
We mucked around a bit with the basketball on the court, playing a few games, and then i just remember us all deciding to play a game of "Strip Basketball". Just like Strip Poker, only with basketball, you should know what im talking about.
Anyways, i was on Chris's team, Mick went with Omar. Items of clothing kept dissapearing rapidly, starting off with shoes and socks, drawing closer to belts and pants. I was the only one to be stripped down to only boxers, then we stopped playing. Many people in cars and walking past saw me playing some B-Ball in my boxers, oh the fun times we have.
Chris bought whipped cream and cookie dough, so we were eating that. Chris put whipped cream on his nipples then ate it, that image will be burned into my mind forever.

Anyways, after Strip Basketball, me and Omar caught a bus home, and that was it.


School.
Okay, well Year 10 is nearly over, and everyone seems to be accepting the concept of our future. Stressing about 'careers' is pretty common amongst everyone, and exams (which are this week) appear to be another thing to whinge and whine about. As much as i dislike the stress that even the teachers purposely put on us, i'm going to try my hardest.

The joyful 'group' as we once know it has pretty much been cut into two by the large tension knife. Everyone claims that they "dont know why", but honestly, i "dont really care". It might just be a temporary thing, or maybe we're just adapting to our own little groups of friends that we're most comfortable with. It doesnt stress me, its interesting though.

While everyone was also at their social peak, it seems one thing has stopped it. "World of Warcraft". I didnt think such a stupid game could have such a large impact on...well, everyone. It's turned Eric into some antisocial hermit, and i dont see what the big deal is. Oh, while im on the topic, people have also been obsessing over Techno and Dance music, listening to the same songs and acting all 'clubXcore'. I'm not saying it 'IS' lame, i just 'THINK' its FUCKING LAME AS.

School itself has just consisted of studying. Study study study. Preperation preperation preperation. Classes are easy, yet boring, theres nothing more i can say. Shauno is going out with Nim too, just thought id mention it too because...im happy for him and shit.

Let met just say, amongst everything thats happened, nothing has managed to disband the lads at all. Quote: "Viva la Lads" - Marty.


This weekend.
Parents: We're gonna leave home on Friday, and come back late Sunday, k?
Me: Oh okay. Where are you going then?
Parents: We're going to the beach. Don't forget to feed the chickens and stuff.
Me: Oh okay, see you in a few days.
*parents leave*

So i've been home alone for days, looking after myself. It isnt hard, when you think of how little ive actually done. I've kept myself alive off reheated pasta, 2-minute noodles, cereal and icypoles. The T.V has constantly been on for background noise, and Nick Cave has kept me in thought, with his effect of gloomy, powerful and extremely emotional music, which somehow makes me happy.
Friday and Saturday night were spend staying up till about 1 in the morning watching cartoons like Cow and Chicken, and eventually crawling to bed both times. AND both times in the morning, ive been woken up at about 6:30am from my chickens. This has left me extremely tired all weekend, which is the main reason for me not getting any exam study done.

Apart from that, ive spent most of my time on the computer, talking to my new friend Kell and myspacing. I got bored at one stage, so i recorded a lot of videos on mums camera of me beatboxing (i cant beatbox) around the house. Yeah, gotta love the WIILD teenage years.

Well, dinner is served, ive almost forgotten what cooked food tastes like.
Seeya round,

>Jimmy

Did you forget this fucking singer so soon?

Nick Cave <3

Well, obviously the comments have been lacking on the old Extra Coffee.
So i spose its just fair if i lack in blogs.

Seriously.

>Jimsy

Touch me, shiny magazine

The background noises consist of parents watching the Poltergeist sequel movie, my stomach full of a heap of fish and chips that were recently eaten. Myspace is being dodgy again, and i think "typical, for a friday night".
A whole day of working at school today, just like all the others, and im a million miles ahead in maths. And i get fuck all credit for it. But thats alright, because im dropping maths as a subject next year. In English today we just finished watching the movie Billy Elliot, which i didnt think was THAT bad... the gay kid in the movie sorta looks like the gay lead singer of Placebo.
I didnt go to double cooking, because...im fed up with that subject. First of all, its pointless to my education. I doubt that wagging Cooking will disallow me to get into uni to study human behavior. So, i spent two periods in the Photography class as the 'new photography student', working on album covers with Beef, and looking up porn with Chris.

Also today at lunchtime, a majority of the year 10's witnessed a year 9 band playing in the studio, featuring Gooch and Elija, and some drummer. They pretty much sucked. Then after the show was over, Beef proceeded to go apeshit on Marty, and tried to arouse Saska for about 5 minutes.

This week has gone by pretty quickly, probably because im pretty much used to the daily procedure, back to front. Mr Evans had fucked off to sailing camp, so i was pretty satisfied about that. A whole lot of other people went to sailing camp too, and it was pretty cool to have some calmer lunchtimes. Yeah, lunchtimes are still pretty boring. Tom is always there to entertain us with his...antics. But he's going back to Newcastle next year, which will really suck. We'll all miss him *tear*

The highlight of everyones week at school was probably Mario Kart 64 on the computers. Everyones playing it now, and Todd and Shauno have been wagging lots of periods just to play it *heroes*. Then after the school days, i go home and play it on my Nintendo 64, so this week has been pumped with a LOT of racing and shells.

Tomorow (saturday) im out for the day to try on my suit for my 2nd cousin Lee's wedding coming up (im one of the groomsmen), then on Sunday i get to finish off the Evangeleon story with DD and Eric. Misato is a babe.


>Jimmy

There are few things more beautiful than surf saxophone

Ah, you gotta love the Colonel (otherwise known as Claypool). I still love Les as much as i always did, but ive been obsessing less. Which is healthy.

Okay, onwards to the post.

Last week.
I cant remember anything interesting happening, except i watched two Clint Eastwood movies in the dark in one night. One of them being High Plains Drifter (one of my most favourite movies of ALL TIME <3) and Fistful Of Dollars. Then the night after i watched Lost In Translation again, and it is just the most perfect movie ever. My hat goes off to Marty, for introducing me to the movie. I looove it so. Erm, but at school? Nothing really happens. Well, things happen, obviously. Its not like we go to school and sit around in white rooms in white clothes and not say a word or move. Things happen, i just dont remember them.

Last weekend.
Well, i awoke, probably listened to Gerling or something, and hopped on a train to meet with Shauno and DD to go to Upper Ferntree Gully. When we arrived, we met up with Marty and got a lift to Knox, thus, entering another lads day out/night out. Eric didnt turn up this time. He gave us all a few lame excuses so he could stay home and play WoW.

Anyways, we rocked up at Knox and shopped around a bit, but mainly checked out the new Video Games heaven, which was AWESOME because they have Abe's Exoddus on playstation, and ive been looking for that game for like 3 years. So im gonna buy it this week. Once again i was lacking in the money (because i bought 5 albums previously a week before) so i didnt buy anything, nor did i have much to eat at the food court. The other guys bought some things, we pimped around for a bit, then we got back to Martys joint.

Getting out of Martys mums car (after buying some munchies) we headed onwards to Marty's front door and got straight into some Mario Kart, which i brought along *smug face*. I had a great time owning, Marty and DD seemed to be getting into it heaps, whilst Shauno was getting frustrated the whole time and just gave up every race and did some burnouts in the middle of the track until the race was over. That was way fun, brought back some childhood memories, and then we got into some !!!BOMBERMAN 64!!! which was great! Shauno won a match, he seemed pleased about that. Also we got into some Perfect Dark and Conkers Bad Fur Day, which was an absolute joy.

We also got into some PS2 games, but the highlight of the end of the night was probably playing Silent Hill 2. Once again, that game just gave me the absolute heebie-jeebies. We made Nachos for dinner (whilst reminiscing over a few old times) and ate all these little bottles of soft drink, which was nice, and all i remember was falling asleep during some Silent Hill, or...something.

We had some breakfast, then had to head home due to DD's parents being stingy again...so we waved g'bye to Marty, walked to the station, and headed home. I think the rest of the day i spent on Myspace talking to my new friend Kell, until sleep time. All in all, a farking great weekend, yet another succesful Lads time. Shit, i just realised how much i just wrote. Fuck.

This week.
This week has just started, as if anything has happened. I did have a picnic with a few friends though. I brought bread and butter to school, my friend Sam (girl Sam) brought 100's and 1000's, so there was a feasting. That was fun. Lately, all ive been getting up to is watching movies, listening to more and more music (too many bands to name, but Regurgitator sure has been played quite a lot lately) and yes i still play as much bass and guitar as i ever did. I actually just finished watching 2001 : A Space Odyssey too, so my mind is still in a bit of a thought. Not much else to say, so ill be off then, i hope you've all been doing fine.

I'm off to Lago to paint the town red. You guys cant shoot for shit.

Genius Fight

Connex, i wish much cancer upon you and your workers. BECAUSE. Today i was supposed to meet Rosie for an overdue catch-up and hangout, but i arrived at Mitcham station and the trains happened to be offline all day. Much panic arose, until i realised there was those replacement buses arriving every 5 minutes. I got on one, and i asked the driver if there was a bus going to the city. He said: "Nah, just get on this one and get off at Nunawading station, then get a train from there." I was like "cool."

So, i got to Nunawading station to find that the bus driver lied to me, there were no trains arriving. So i called up Rosies mum Kate on a payphone (not having Rosies temporary mobile number) and got her to call Rosie to cancel our plans. Then i got home, explained my journey to the parents, then dad was like "uh, well the trains that go to box hill have trains running, so you could have just caught a bus to box hill. these trains have been offline on sundays for about a month now". So now im annoyed off at father, he could have told me earlier.

Anyways, yesterday i went over to Eric's place to watch the last couple of episodes of Evangelion. Ohhhhohoho yes it was good. Then thats all we did, until he invited me to sleep over, filling me in that DD was also sleeping over and they planned on watching the Eva movie. And I just finished the Evangelion series, so i thought it was a good idea to tag along too.
So, i went home, ate, myspaced, listened to some of my FIVE NEW CDS that i picked up earlier that morning. Mum gave me Grandpas birthday money early, and i had money myself, so i bought five awesome albums which im still listening to now. I got:

• Gerling - Children of telepathic experiences
• Beck - Odelay
• Air - Moon Safari
• Nine Inch Nails - Broken
• The Smiths - The Very Best Of

I'm very pleased with my selection. I also watched the first 20 minutes of Brazil which i hadnt seen yet, then ventured on down to Erics place.
The night started off with us watching some YouTube clips, but Eric showed us some WoW clips which were really terrible, un-funny and lame. The music sucked aswell, even though Eric wouldnt stop ranting about it. Then Eric and DD played some fighting games on PC, until we sat down to watch the Eva movie, then afterwards watched some more Anime, then some Spanish film about soccer and sex, before falling asleep.
We fell asleep at about 1 in the morning, and i got up at about 6:30 in the morning...i the only person wide awake for about 3 hours until the others woke up. We had breakfast, then i left, which brings me to the CONNEX STORY which ive already told.

So, there is my weekend. Hardly anything has happened at school, except for the fact that ive been picking up my grades heaps (due to a shit report last semester). A lot of insanity still occurs at lunchtimes though, for example, Tim and Beef's "sit down and throw objects at each others groin" game. Ubung keeps reforming and breaking up constantly, and Jordan and Luke are being major dickheads about it all, so thats the end of that chapter.

Also, i got my new Beatles t-shirt, it rocks. I'm wearing it now.
And, if you've noticed that i havent been on msn much lately, thats due to the fact that i dont go on in much anymore, because...i dont like msn much, its frustrating.


Thats my new hat (for anyone who hasnt seen it), its darn cool.

I'm the devil with a thousand eyes, what i don't see ain't worth my time

So, i kick back at just about 11 P.M on this quiet thursday night, after a day out with the guys, and stick on 40 minutes worth of soothing jazz (Art Blakey)...ahh, life is quite superb sometimes. Unfortunantly, the holidays are almost at an end, and you can already hear the children crying.

Quick note: I always bitch and complain about receiving no comments on these posts. Actually, the only re-occuring ones come from Marty. So, comments would be nice if you're actually reading, they sorta indicate that people still read Extra Coffee. Because im so close to just giving this thing up.

Anyways, back to the summary of the week...

Sunday
Well, my memory is blank about this day, but i probably did nothing except watch Galaxy Angel. Daym that show is good.

Monday
I had a good spongebath in redneck town, and it was pretty cheap too. That lasted for about 6 hours, then i went to meet Eric at Mitcham station to venture up to Martys place. All we did was watch shitloads of anime until 2 in the morning, then back at it again the next morning for another few hours.
We got into Galaxy Angel, Eva, Excel Saga, Kino's Journey (man that show is good Marty), Love Hina, Cowboy Bebop, ROD the TV, Perfect Blue *shudders with insanity*, and probably more.
We had nachos for dinner, made by the three of us, and we layered it with cheese and salsa. It tasted awesome. Later on we attempted some Muffins, but they ended up getting burnt and they tasted like ass/charcoal. Good times.

Tuesday
This was the day after 'Anime Sleepover at Martys joint', and we all just woke up and started watching more anime, making Perfect Blue and Eva calls and quotes until it was time to head home. Me and Rico walked back to the Belgrave station remembering the anime memories, then i just got home and basically watched more anime and went on the computer until sleep time.

Wednesday
This day happened to be 'Regurgitator Non-Stop Marathon' day. From 12:00-4:30pm, i stuck on 5 Regurgitator albums and 1 E.P in my dads 6-disc stereo, set it to random, and had it playing all day, full blast. It happened to be the most awesome thing ever, and probably one of my most greatest ideas ever.
It started off with 'Feels Alright!' which is perfect to get anyone into the Gurge mood. So yeah, all day i was just listening to loud Regurgitator tracks (i easily listened to every song) and singing along to most of them.
A surprisingly satisfying day.

Thursday
Today was Random Bus Day #2. Matt starred as a guest appearence, but unfortunantly at the beginning of the day we all got on a bus before he got to the meeting spot, until Marty was like "shit, wheres Matt!??!?" but we went back and got him. Sorry Matt dude.
We spent a little while trying to find a bus that looked good, but at first all we found were bogan buses...i cant remember any of the bogan names, but they were shit!
We all ended up going back to Chadstone to chill at shops and have lunch. We went to Myers to toy around with the Apple Mac gadgets, and made a lot of amusing photoshopped photos of ourselves. I plugged my iPod into the iPod speakers and blasted some J-pop, Smashing Pumpkins, Fantomas and much more, so i was satisfied. We left an insane mirror image of us doing crazy shit on the display computer for everyone to see. Oh the memories.

Then headed to St Kilda via tram (with Matt yelling out things like "Hey you with the face!" out the window).
We got off the tram at some freeway, looking around like "wtf are we doing here" then saw a sign saying "St Kilda Reach" so we were all like "Ohhhh! Lets go to St Kilda Reach! Then maybe we'll visit the beach!" (Someone scratched the sign to make it say Reach, if you're not catching on). DD had to leave early, so we all waved goodbye, and then i think it was at this stage where Eric started acting weird. Yeah, he also played more pokemon on his gameboy today, thus reducing the chances of Shauno and DD picking up chicks.

An arrival was finally made at the beach, where we chilled a bit and threw stones at seagulls, then played some burrito frisbee. For real. Until the burrito broke. We got some photos taken, Eric chased Shauno around a bit more, then we sorta headed back home...well, i stayed around the city by myself and got Simon and Garfunkel's 'Sounds of Silence' album for cheap, THEN i went home.

And here i am :)
I probably missed out on some things, but when i remember ill just edit those bits in again.

Ciao!
