It's true. Stop with the suburbia and the deserts and the cars and the road trips in the desert towards suburbia.

When is he playing, and where? I have assessments until the 11th but after that I'm game!

I know :( but I still like Jack :( :( :(

I think it's the population thing plus the adolescence thing. As in, Australia as a nation is so young and incompetent, culturally we flail around with arms akimbo and sometimes we lose control of our elbows so that they knock over really expensive Ming vases and the rest of the South-East Asian Pacific region gets shitty at us.

Or we can blame Middle Australia and the way they insist on a white trash culture omg.

Haha, last night, after I spent hours wandering around the inner west worrying over my virtue! Oh it was ridiculous. But at least my taxi driver complimented my sense of style.

And is the taxi driver the reason why you were worrying about your virtue in the inner west? ;P

It's interesting, I have seen many a small, local unsigned band who have blown me away but the aussie bands that tend to "make it" do often disappoint.

As for the others:
- you shouldnt really walk anywhere late at night by yourself
- if you laugh with them then it will all be ok
- years of copious drinking going way back to the first settlers
- I got nothing
- that one is obvious
- cos she was hoping they were hash brownies.

I put it down to the mainstream public having absolutely no taste. The radio at my work is permanently glued to 2dayfm and I found out that Faker broke through to Middle Australian consciousness. Oh that was not a good day. If local bands make it big, please, don't be shitty.

I left Liza's around 11, did you end up going? Either way, let me know when you're at uni so I can harass you over the exciting developments in your life!

I didn't end up going to Liza's cos I worked til about 1am.

I'm only at uni tuesday this week. Editing down in F9C but distraction/coffee breaks are more than welcome.

I will probably be in there friday as well but I can only forsee I will be fair hung over and have to go to work at 2
