Whoa. My full name appeared. Jim, can you fix it?

I am a damn good kisser! God knows how, it’s certainly not from practice.

My brane must have known this somehow!

Note to Nick: not from actually snogging Ed! I swear!

i don’t have sandbox admin :( soz!

oh well. nobody’s googling me anyway.

(this is not true. I know that people google me. to find out if I’m a good kisser. So, people, the answer is yes!)

Another note of cheer—it’s only 1 day until the weekend, so soon you can put those kissing skills to good use. Go forth and pash young man.

sadly I cannot! I am busy doing non-kissing things on saturday and sunday.

Hmm. What occasions disallow kissing?

CERTAINLY NOT SEEING OUR SHOWS

Occasions where you’re totally surrounded by people you’d rather die than kiss, obviously!

work?

That too!

Why yes, that is true but what are you doing at work on a weekend?? Bah.

Maybe I should fly up to Sydney and fix Ed’s problem here!

well, gosh.

we’re a bit shit at this cheering up bizzo :(

i hope you’re having a sturdy brew

Hey come on, I offered snogs! Can’t do anymore than that!

i was restricting meself to cordial but this forgotten bottle of vodka has just sparked the idea of ‘special’ cordial

Jim, you do have sandbox admin! (on ile & ILM) I emailed you about it, Monday I think? must not have reached you.

Hi Pash!

it didn’t! but my usual electricsound login isn’t accepting my password for some reason and the reset emails aren’t getting there. i wonder if emails from this host are getting lost somewhere...

xpost

is that “tugboatonline” address good?

Hello Trayce! (sorry to but in on yr conversation here btw)

Not at all, we dont tell people what they can and can’t say, round these parts /meow.

it should be! fingers x’d

should be a message on its way to you, then. Thanks!

got it, thanks!

fixed your name ed!!

cheers, jim. you are one (1) legend.

UPDATES THEN!

I laid down teh law! I said “This is not acceptable. I have to have X, Y, Z or I have to make a contingency plan which might involve finding somewhere else” and it seemed like it was heard, so even if it’s not fixed at least I’m giving advance warning that I am fvcking off out of there.

Still no kissing. Well, _maybe_ Sunday, but not from where it’s wanted, of course. I sense a gigantically emo LJ post in the near future on that.

Poor Ed :(

srsly, the extent to which my life is a complete and total shambles is amazing. I have got myself in waaaaaaaaaaaay over my head in about 46 things and I want to go and live in a cave in the mountains for a bit.

goodness

tomorrow i have first paid recording session woo

stressed

Solo, ya?

will there be ‘air conditioning’

there’s a fan... erk

yeah i’ll be the sole engineer. five piece band, everything but vocals live. double erk.

at least they’re an awesome band so will sound great no matter how bad i screw up

Help, I am stuck in America with bogan housemates.

One of them checked out my iTunes and declared that it was “shit” and “full of bands that nobody has heard of” or “Adelaide bands” despite not having a single Adelaide band on it. Afterwards he proceeded to play quality musical acts like Wolfmother and The Living End. I made my protests but he then said “I was a poof” and that I should “listen to this awesome solo” on his Living End song because “how can you hate that?”

BY THE WAY, Is John Kosmina Gonna Have To Choke A Bitch?

Haha, you live with bogans.

I mean awww.

I DONT THINK YOU UNDERSTAND HOW AWESOME THE LIVING END SOLOS ARE

durutti column are from adelaide now?

I used to get shit like that too but instead of bands, bogans would say “do you live in CIVIC, you look like a CIVIC person”, like saying I somehow live in a shopping mall in the centre of Caberra was an insult. Baffling.

Vini Reilly used to cruise down Hindley Street in his Torana, don’t you know.

“i’m not from london, you know..”

By the way, dude pays me out for coming from Adelaide when he’s from HOPPERS CROSSING.

ahahahahaha

ahahahahahahahaha

HAHAHA. Oh my.

Wasn’t Hoppers Crossing in THE FLYING DOCTORS?

Stat and cross-check

Whoops, Coopers Crossing. Just as lame though yeah?

god, at least they had flying doctors at coopers crossing, hoppers has SFA

they have the poo farm, or is that werribee?

Yeah thats Werribee but close enough as makes no diff rilly. It all stinks.

oh it’s special cordial time again!!!

woo woo

p3bbles recording went great btw.. what an awesome band

special cordial? i could go a bit of that if i had more than approx 10c between me and starvation

GOod stuff Jim! Robin Guthrie-hood here you come! Or something.

Man. It is way too hot. I have pilfered the little fan we usually use either by the bed, or on the PC which overheats, and I have it pointing right at my face on the couch. With the blinds down, its bearable. I had to go out into the heat this morning and even at 9am it was poo.

the weather has gone haywire lately. it’s strangely cold in perth. i went to see jenny wilson last night at a festival gig and it rained on us!

oh it was the p3bbl3s! nice one. (xxxp)

I am sitting in front of the big fan I bought last month. it makes this house bearable!! ugh, such a hotbox.

a friend of mine has an air conditioner in their rental house. a jealous is me

We have air conditioning in two bedrooms and in my studio but it’s been incredibly mild today, so I just spent most of the day outside with the ducks.

do you eat duck eggs? i’m led to believe they’re awesome

They’re meant to be good for sponge cakes I think I read somewhere. More protien in the white or somesuch.

They’re not laying yet, but probably will eat them when they start. We have 2 ducks and a drake, so we better make sure they’ve not been fertilised. Ewwwwww

Darren just bought a Rush DVD. Somebody save me from this hell.

did rush ever have a big hit? i don’t know if i even have a clue what they sound like

The only Rush song I know is that one Fry is listening to when he plays space invaders in Futurama.

“I got a pocket full of quarters, my 2 liter bottle of Shasta—and my all-Rush mixtape”

It’s some tune that goes on about um, spaceships or space invaders. They sound like Yes. They’re supposed to be a bit terrible, unless you like that sort of overblown prog stuff.. oh wait. I forgot who I was saying that too hee *flees rapidly in other direction*.

haha

i think i’ve only heard one yes song (owner of a lonely heart). that kind of prog is unlikely to ever be my thing but i dig weirdass obscuro prog of the kind that came out on vertigo or deram

O that Rush song in Futurama is apaz called “Tom Sawyer”.

I actually like some old Yes stuff! The drummer in one of my friends old bands loved them and used to play “Roundabout” at rehersals, and I grew to like it, I did. “Owner of a Lonely Heart” is shite, but the older, actually-proggy stuff isnt too bad, if a little erm, baroque and frilly.

Oh noes, why does mongrels thread getting all Yessed out.

I said to Darren, “how can you listen to such overblown pompous crap?!” and he said, “The overblown pompousness is the main attraction!”.

Although, I must say, the blame really lies squarely with Guitar Hero.

Hahaha, they have Rush songs in Guitar Hero? Oh man.

Yup!

“Spirit Of The Radio”, people!

also! :(

And, what do teh peeps think of my HAT (see teh lj)! I need to know if it’s worth however much money it is.

“The Spirit Of Radio”, I mean, obviously.

I also have a neu hat. no photos of me in it, tho.

Your hat is hot, sir! Mind you I think you would look even BETTER in one of those ska style porkpie jobs. But yes—hats and you, totally work.

In other news—is it just me, or has KenC been pretending to be Lex for like the last 3 months?

possibly. it could also be gareth.
