Making it to Third Bass

October 18, 2008

After a lifetime of household members unexpectedly entering a room to find me thrashing around and jumping off furniture, in what usually began as air guitar but always progressed to some sort of impression of the onset of an airborne orgasm; I decided to learn bass guitar for real this year. My selection criteria for [...]

Slurpless

April 4, 2006

The washing machine in our new place lasted one rumbly week before it began barking out sputtering explosions whenever the spin cycle commenced. Thankfully, our landlord has weathered callouses on his thumbs from twiddling them for days on end, so ten days later we’re still without a working washing machine. This made the decision to [...]

The World is Nut Enough

March 29, 2006

What kind of a holiday is it when you seem to have caught the flu? I’m unsure whether to view this either as a result of the majorly excessive drinking over the last fortnight, or simply as a drinking challenge for the next two weeks of my holiday. Regardless, I am holing up for the [...]

If You Thought Nickelback Couldn’t Get Any Worse…

March 23, 2006

We’ve landed safe and sound in Melbourne. Although I’ve got three more weeks of holidays which I’ll refer to as JEBFEST for the time being, I shall endeavour to post far more regularly now that we’ve settled down. My attempts to save a coupla hundred bucks on our removalists backfired. Instead of reverting to the [...]

So I’ve whittled all the opportunities down to one of the best jobs I can think of: penning the lyrics to teen punk songs. Because really, this job now needs to be outsourced to generate the maximum angst-impact and ensure your music is stolen as much racking up as many sales as possible. Simple Plan [...]

The <3 of Cain

January 14, 2006

Last night I excitedly galloped down to the Gaelic Club to see the Mark of Cain on their first tour since… forever. Man, I’ve been looking forward to seeing them play live – never seen them before, even though I’ve been a fan since I hosted a seriously dodgy community radio show as a teenager. [...]

She Definitely Don’t Like That

January 9, 2006

The concrete in our courtyard is not entirely unlike Kylie Minogue: from afar, there’s an apparent sheen and urban glamour to it. Upon closer inspection, it actually has many wrinkles and cracks. Oh, and it has cancer. Seriously. Our courtyard has concrete cancer. Apparently it’s causing problems with the pipes underneath the courtyard. So, this [...]
