If you think Melbourne weather is a bit much sometimes.. try Manchester.
If I believed in God, I’d conclude that he was well pissed off about something.

Party II
It was a much quieter affair than the last one. But it was still good!
~ made sushi
Russian cocaine was served in abundance
First Hamish of the night
The drink’s creator attended in A4 poster form
Nada came all the way from New Jersey – what’s your excuse? – only to be strangled by ~ in a fit of paranoia. These things happen at Hagakure parties
Former Operative Johana (Hamish)
Former Operatives Reanimator (Scotch & Cola) and Li (rightly hiding in shame behind bottle of Cascade Light)
Semi (herbal tea and sympathy)
T. (fat rocks of crack, not shown)
Some woman dressed as Dorothy from The Wizard of Oz (not sure what she was on)
This crazy Japanese girl gave ~ a terrible time a while back, but he invited her anyway.
Reanimator, Li, ~, a russian mathematician and i ended up watching Fight Club by candlelight at about 3am. I did loads of bulbs.
It was good.

Man, I Just, Like, Voted
I wasn’t planning to originally, but Semi talked me into it on the grounds that the Greens will likely take some seats away from serious politicians, which is always a good cause. I hope he is having fun at Earthcore. I imagine that he is.
I just voted for the Greens whilst tripping on leftover cactus, partly in his honor. I’m sure Bob Brown (with whom I once shared a taxi, whilst dressed as a giant koala – i’m sure it wasn’t just a dream) would not disapprove. I tried to imagine what John Howard would feel. I tried to imagine him feeling pain in some way. How I tried. But all I could see was him going “stupid hippies; ah well, *shrugs*, they will all self-destruct soon enough anyway”, and not understanding at all. Which kind of pissed me off, but did at least make me feel like, in some obscure way, I had not done entirely the wrong thing.
Now I am trying to decide whether to watch The Dark Crystal again. I fell asleep before the end last time.
~ has suggested to me that the girl Gelfling ultimately dies; but I feel sure that this cannot be the whole truth. Henson and Oz would not do that to me. They would not dare.
I will watch their silly movie, in any case. They can bring it. Doesn’t matter if the chick dies; the whole healed-crystal thing redundifies such petty concerns.
Yes, it does.

Some Days It’s Great To Be Alive
Have a nice funeral, fuckhead.
Sure hope no one accidentally drops a cluster bomb on it, killing your entire extended family and anybody who ever gave two shits about you.
Just kidding! Actually, I hope someone does. That would be funny as hell.
(To give him his due, it’s true he certainly had quite the way with words…)
Now please excuse me, dear readers; serious drinking etc
Splendiferous weekend wishes to you all!

> 😀 I have enough trouble coming up with my own posts, m’dear.
> And you want me think of topics for you as well?
You seem to be doing okay.. slow but not short of content
> How about the fact that I went into a pet shop the other day and saw
> me some kittens.
You want me to post on *my* blog about what *you’ve* been up to? Tript‘s right.
> Yay kitten season! Â
Yay! I saw two cats fucking for the first time ever the other night; it was well surreal and shit
Everything is surreal at the moment; I blame the racing carnival
I was saying to LJ this morning: the streets are filled with outrageously drunk women in slutty dresses and ridiculous hats; singing, getting into fights, throwing up, falling over
At all hours of the day and night
No one bats an eye, that’s standard in Melbourne at this time of year
Freewheeling, zany-ass city that we are
I was trying to sell Melbourne to her
Do you think that will work?
> You should call those places again if you want one 😀
Thanks for the tip 😛
heh
But too busy! Too busy!
I have to catch up on Adam’s blog too, I haven’t read it for ages and ages and ages; his posts are gold but they’re too long
So much to do! So little weed. Indeed none at all; it’s becoming unacceptable
Get it sorted, “Johana”
Honestly, sometimes I wonder why we are still friends
You never send me flowers, you never have any weed when *I* need it
We may have to see about your license to practice if this whack continues
Much love,
T

More Rushkoff linkage: In which it occurs to our protagonist that contemporary western democracy is eminently recognisable as – gasp – nothing but an elaborate con!! Who’d a thunk it?
Don’t Have Time To Check It Out Properly Right Now
But this is quite interesting.
“The message [reg required] went on to explain that Lonelygirl15 was a project to harness the audience to develop and evolve a story and “usher in an era of interactive storytelling where the line between ‘fan’ and ‘star’ has been removed”.
While not everyone is convinced that the filmmakers’ confession is genuine (many believe it’s part of the developing mystery), it now seems certain that Lonelygirl15 is a fake – although who is behind the hoax and the purpose of it is still unclear.
A clue left in one of the videos suggests it may be another month before we find out.
In a video posted a week ago titled Bree The Cookie Monster, Bree and Daniel rate batches of cookies they said they baked.
Bree’s purple monkey puppet holds up score cards. The first one gets “10”, the second “12” and the third one “06”. Why “06” and not “6”?
Viewers point out that the sequence makes a date: 10/12/06 – or October 12, 2006, using the US method of writing dates. October 12 also happens to be the birth date of the late occultist Aleister Crowley, whose picture can be seen on a wall in Bree’s room.
News of the hoax, however, does appear to have dented Lonelygirl15’s popularity.”

Stuff I Did This Week
– Exhaustively cleaned the kitchen, the dining room, the hallway, the laundry, and the bathroom.
– Made sixteen phonecalls, took seven phonecalls, attended interviews with three people, and lodged one detailed & tedious application form in pursuit of new revenue streams. Ate dodgy Japanese food on Chapel Street; gawped at people hanging on Chapel Street.
– Visited Bentendo at his new place.
He has a very nice view of the city, which I was unable to photograph for security reasons
– Reincarnated my old mobile – which I thought I’d lost, eventually replaced, and later found – as a second phone, via the purchase of a $25 prepaid SIM card.
– Updated my address book and phone contacts.
– Succesfully enticed a professional tiler into assessing dire bathroom tile issue situation, pictured. (They refused to replace the tiles, arguing that the only meaningful solution was to retile the whole bathroom.)
– Made an elaborate pictoral blog post about cooking harira.
– Inspired by trawling my own blog archives, figured out how to region-unlock my DVD player.
– Made a disastrous birthday card.
– Stupidly trammed it all the way out to the RSPCA in Burwood East to buy a kitten, only to discover that – it not quite being kitten season yet, see – they didn’t have any. (Note to self: next time ring ahead.)
– Got shitfaced at The Mint and elsewhere again with Jo, Xade, Rorschach, Jaye deKoan and sundry others. An unshaven Tript was vaguely encountered somewhere in the vicinity of the Victoria Markets at around 1am. About two people at least one of whom I did not previously know ended up on my foldout couch watching Reservoir Dogs.
– Recorded a cover of Always On My Mind with my associate Mishuki One for H419.
– Made an elaborate pictoral blog post about things I did this week.
– Watched entire series of John Safran vs God (purchased secondhand last Sunday for $5).
– Went to the gym five times.
– Wrote 36 emails to 15 people.
– Et cetera.
