Here's my account of the past two days, for those of you who are taking notes. On Friday I got a Firewire card installed in my laptop, so I can actually edit the footage for the show at HOME. Anyway, that was pretty boring, but the sketches came up nicely. On Saturday I went to Richard's new house in Carlton to help him move. He used to live in ( Read more... )

On Thursday, Mum and I drove to Bendigo to have morning tea-cum-lunch with my old Prep teacher, whom I haven't seen in years. I say "morning tea-cum-lunch", but it might just as well have been morning tea-cum-dinner given how long they ended up talking for. But that's just women. The dialogue covered the usual female conversational fodder - diets, ( Read more... )

I walked to the library today to return the DVD of Cinema Paradiso - which I thought was a load of old plop, by the way. I can't wait to get on IMDB and give it a panning. Although I guess there's no point because idiots who know nothing about films are still going to love it regardless of what I say. Anyway, after I returned it I kept walking past ( Read more... )

Last night was the climax of a week of complete overindulgence. In the previous seven days, the amount of money I spent on beer, fags and confectionery must've totalled...Egad, I'm not even going to add it up, it's too depressing. What a waste - imagine all the beer, fags and confectionery I could've bought with all that money! Ah well, it's not ( Read more... )

Egad, only another three days and my parents will be back from...Uh, from...From...Well, to be honest who cares where?! I don't understand why people who live alone always complain about being lonely - I LOVE being alone! I am my own man for the first time in my 19 premium quality years. Just making my own dinner rather than stoically downing the ( Read more... )

My parents are away for the week, which aside from the nightly wild drunken Romanesque orgies, has meant that I have had to cook my own dinner. Tonight is only the second time I've ever cooked anything in my entire life - the first being last night. And you know what I've discovered from this foray into gastronomy? - I am an awesome cook. "Gee And ( Read more... )

Went into the city to get some stuff for the show. Went to J.B. (Jewbag) Hi-fi first and got 3 Mini DV tapes for $32. The moment after I'd purchased them I realised that I could've got 5 of them for $40. Obviously my mind had been wandering - probably in forbidden territory - because those two extra tapes would've worked out at $4 each! To quote ( Read more... )

Just got an e-mail from some scam artist claiming to have found several million dollars in a deceased person's bank account in Africa. Name's "Doctor" Fred Maxelle apparently - interesting the subtleties of con-artistry - the title "Doctor" turns him into a trustworthy, greying, bearded middle-aged man with spectacles. I should've led him on - it ( Read more... )
