the deadly hume

ivan milat is a fucking gun. i don't think there's a crim in the nsw prison system crazier than this motherfucker. i've been waiting years for him to blow up and do something epic. but i thought it would be something like offing a gang rapist and serving him up for dinner to the other prisoners, not chopping his own finger off and trying to mail it to the high court. he's putting every other convicted serial killer to shame at the moment.

this is why i never had the guts to jump off that bridge.

i have another 15 minutes to go until the dye currently sitting in my hair is ready to be washed out. so, dear woundedkite.com, you get a post.

i'm going to a high school reunion tonight. it's only been nine years since we finished school, and i guess it's more of a get together organised via facebook events than a proper reunion. but i'm still kind of apprehensive about it. there's no one that i really hated going. but, apart from erin, there's no one really going that i was super good friends with, and only one other girl going that i have hung out with since high school ended.

i don't know if i'm going to have much in common with these people. so many of them have kids and husbands and houses in the suburbs. i guess we'll all have a few drinks and get to sharing war stories, funny things that happened and teachers we hated.

and if anything, it's at the bank in newtown, so if it sucks we can say that we have something else on at one of the other pubs around and take off.

the only downside is that there is trackwork on the east hills line today, so to get to newtown i have to take a bus and two trains. it is going to take FOREVER! but i would like to drink, so i'm not going to drive. and at least if we stay out late enough, the nightrider that goes out to c-town goes down king street. and because i always forget, it's the N30 and goes past Newtown station at 10 to the hour.

ahh, it's the little things like this that keep me coming back to news.com.au instead of a credible media source.

double the fun

my friend sharnee had twins on monday. they are freaking adorable. cutest babies ever. it makes me almost want one.

i'm making a bit of an effort to update this shiz a bit more frequently. i've also got a cold, and i've hit the cold and flu tablets a bit too hard today, so i apologise in advance if this doesn't make much sense. anyway, here's some things i've been up to recently.

new years eve was tooooooooooops. erilii, her brother, his girlfriend and i hit up the manning bar at sydney uni for purple sneakers. we partied most hearty to tunes spun by the elf and jd samson from le tigre. it was a weird crowd though, lots of indie kids like us, a few new wavers channeling deborah harry. and then a whole bunch of chicks in jump suits and high heels and brosephs who as i said on the night, looked like they got lost on their way to cargo bar. we had a really good run home on the public transports, and we were in bed by 4:30. well i slept on my old couch, which was surprisingly only the second time i had done so.

on saturday night erin and i, along with our new found, get this loving, friend phil went to the movies. i haven't been to the movies in forever. at least a year, but i got three free tickets from work, so it was on like donkey kong. we saw slumdog millionaire. directed by the same guy who did trainspotting, it is ta-otes. i can't decide what my favourite part was, it's a toss up between a mention of australia's greatest opener, michael "slats" slater, or phil yelling out "ooh me plums" in an especially gritty scene.

tonight we're going to see the hives. erin won tickets to see them play a set of covers at the metro. hopefully it will be tops. i haven't been to the metro since architecture in helsinki back in may last year when security were absolute dicks about my camera and its detachable lens. hopefully the afore mentioned c+f tablets hold out, otherwise i'll have to spend the whole show sitting down on a step not being able to see anything.

i don't really have much in the way of travel updates. i'm still patiently waiting for my visa to arrive. the backpackers i wanted to stay at in cardiff is booked out the weeks i want to stay, which has made me sad. thinking about here for my going away party.

i am not your cure

my favourite moment of 2008 happened back in february at good vibrations. it was just before sunset, and just before kanye was due to play. don't hold back by the potebelleez came on, and even though i had never really liked the song before that moment, i started dancing. and so did the people i was with. soon the whole crowd was dancing and it felt like at that moment every one in the world was dancing. it was just the most tremendous sense of unity i have ever felt.
