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.

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.
