Okay, So Maybe I’ll Just Start With Lust, Anger and Sloth

January 29, 2001

From now on, I'll probably never have to worry about what the hell a baguette is ever again. They've been appearing on my work cafeteria's menu board for some time now and have caused continual debate. From now on, I probably won't ever get to visit the Powerhouse Museum's LEGO Action ...

Unt Rammstein Concert Unt Frozen Chicken!

January 28, 2001

Adam, Rick and myself saw the Rammstein concert on Wednesday night last week. Adam and I were going to travel to Rick's place together, but when I rang Adam he said he might be working a bit late. 'You can't work too late, you know,' I pressed. I got a loud ...

Rating Your Long Weekend

January 27, 2001

It was Australia Day yesterday. Thanks to a invasive British settlement which resulted in an Aboriginal genocide, Australians got Friday off work! I'm sure many people will be having wild weekends due to the holiday, so I present for you today a tool to guage how good your weekend really was. ...

Generic Conversation With a Metallica Fan

January 23, 2001

Metallica fan: Oi! Oi! Oi! Me: Oh, I see a Metallica song is the most played song on this jukebox. Metallica fan: Yes! They're the best! Me: That's what Napster users tell me. Metallica fan: Um... Napster? Me: Never mind. Metallica fan: Oi! Oi! Oi! (bangs head) Me: So. They're a bit crap now, aren't they? Metallica fan: ...

Melbney

January 21, 2001

As I have mentioned previously, I will shortly be relocating myself back to Melbourne. Living in Sydney has been a great experience (not counting the hordes of British backpackers), but I believe Melbourne is the place for me to be. Which is a pity, because although I prefer Melbourne over Sydney, ...

Tragic Fall Into Democracy

January 20, 2001

Scene: A Russian spaceship, late 1960's Cosmonaut 1: How many days have we been here now? Cosmonaut 2: Three days. Cosmonaut 1: Such an amazing journey. Cosmonaut 2: Yes. (An explosion sounds, followed by an alarm) Cosmonaut 1: What is that? Cosmonaut 2: Alarm! A puncture in the craft, most likely. Cosmonaut 1: Shit! Cosmonaut 2: I will check ...

Four Insults

January 17, 2001

Today I witnessed or was on the recieving end of four insults, which I present for you here. Please attempt to use them in casual conversation tomorrow (ESPECIALLY number 4). 1. One of the girls who sits near me has just got her hair cut really short. Everyone thought it looked ...

Spiderdick

January 16, 2001

Recently I was lying in bed and saw a strange shape moving around in the blinds covering the window above me. After giving the blinds a quick whack, I realised that it was one mother of a giant spider. 'It's a tarantula!' Adam murmured, half asleep next to me. 'I don't think ...

Why the Earth Doesn’t Fall

January 15, 2001

My boss and I have been known to frequent a particular eatery on our lunch breaks. They serve nice food and the atmosphere is ambient (read: not filled with sneezing children and an all-you-can-eat bar). There is a reason we don't visit the eatery that often, though. The reason is an ...

Boycotts

January 14, 2001

This is a list of everything I've ever spoken badly about in my journal, up until today. Er... I don't really boycott these things, you know... however, it doesn't take much for me to badmouth something. Anyway, on with the list, in chronological order. Sydney CityRail Security Staff STARTED BOYCOTT: MARCH 16 1999 I ...
