The Unnamed Feeling"how to look stupid and influence people..." |

| "Well you see, Norm, it's like this... A herd of buffalo can only move as fast as the slowest buffalo and when the herd is hunted, it is the slowest and weakest ones at the back that are killed first. This natural selection is good for the herd as a whole, because the general speed and health of the whole group keeps improving by the regular killing of the weakest members. In much the same way, the human brain can only operate as fast as the slowest brain cells. Now, as we know, excessive drinking of alcohol kills brain cells. But naturally, it attacks the slowest and weakest brain cells first. In this way, regular consumption of beer eliminates the weaker brain cells, making the brain a faster and more efficient machine. And that, Norm, is why you always feel smarter after a few beers." Stuff you may dig: Behind The CD Curtain! - My webspace Metallica Coopers Brewery Phun.org!

Brain meat fodder: DevilDriver - Impending Disaster
The good: Burning down the highway through the night. Just been at a work function so a couple "conversation lubricants" (not too many kids - never drive drunk!)have been consumed and now I'm heading home with virtually green light the whole way home and some very good metal on the stereo. The afternoons event was a work sponsored "season-type greeting" on the beachfront. While it was very hot, the company, conversation and views certainly made up for it as the weather moved ever closer to us. Nothing like a bit of nature to get the juices flowing.The better: The lightshow. Unseasonably hot November plus a rain front equals a lightning show more suited to a tropical location. Brilliant flashes. Crackling spider-webs. Sun-bright bolts. The bad: The seriously big bolt that touched down less than 5k from dragontail and stareyednight's place. I bet they heard it! Also I'm kinda hoping that hit one of the big industrial-type structures nearby, or else someone is having quite a bad night.The freaky: the supposedly random mix on the iPod throws up "Ride the Lightning" while said storm is happening. Conincidences don't happen. | |||

Brain meat fodder: Kings of Leon - Sex On Fire
Wow.One of the building companies we use at work sent me a message today. Something along the lines of "we've donated to you, but only if you promise to grow back the beard - the clean shaven look is terrible!"  Given that matron_jojo is the only person who has given any indication at all of appreciating the hairless me, I'm used to these comments. The fact is I know any publicity is good publicuty, and if they are talking about the Mo, then I'm talking about mens health issues - so it all works out.I threw a few choice comments in said buiders direction - nothing unusual there - and went on with my day. When I got home tonight I found out what "we've donated" translates to. WOW. Needless to say I'll be making a phone call first thing tommorow to thank the owner personally. Not that this finishes the job. Forget about supporting me. If you are concerned about men's health issues like depression and prostate cancer, please take a few seconds to donate to me, or to anyone you know who is joining in the Movember fun. You can support me here ( Oh, and this is yesterdays photo - what a terrible angle... ) | |||

Brain meat fodder: Them Crooked Vultures - New Fang
Haven't posted photos because I havent been online! Sydney was great (much better than Melborne) and home is hot. I know only one person who says I'm hot, but it's debatable at the moment...( cut with some commentary on our trip! )  Today! One week gone and three to go before my chin goes into hiding again! If you haven't donated you can do so at My Mospace. And Thanks | |||

Brain meat fodder: Queens Of The Stone Age - Running Joke
It was a long time ago, when I first launched a diatribe about Australian Music after 2005's (!) "Triple J's Hottest 100".This year, as well as the Hottest 100 around Australia Day, Triple J decided to do a Hottest 100 of all time. Up til now. Not after now. Just up to... now. Cause we don't know about the future yet. And not before music was being recorded either.... Oh, and in English... ...oh whatever just let me rant for a bit. ( Hottest 100 Of All Time 2009 ) Really, I've got to wonder how may votes they actually got, because there seems to be some severe grouping in here... | |||

Brain meat fodder: Faith No More - Star A.D.
Step 1: Put your music player on shuffle (real shuffle - not iTunes DJ!).Step 2: Post the first line from the first 20 songs that play, no matter how embarrassing. See which of your friends can name the most songs. Step 3: Strike out the songs when someone guesses both artist and track correctly. Step 4: Looking them up on Google or any other search engine is CHEATING! Step 5: If you like the game post your own. Step 6: GUESS! - Win special Internet no-prizes! ( Read more... ) | |||

Brain meat fodder: Biffy Clyro - Now I'm Everyone
"...we're more hated and feared than the blood sucking undead..." -BuffyWell he's gone and done it now hasn't he. Turned the franchise into the x-men (er... women). A group of super-human outsiders that are sworn to protect the very people that want them dead. Now I've got to try not to think of Giles as Charles, Willow as Hank McCoy, Cordy can be Archangel, Dawn is Cable, Angel is White Queen (?), Faith as Wolverine... bah - curse you Joss in the ceiling... | |||

| Feb. 24th, 2009 @ 10:20 pm Zac and Miri... | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| ( Read more... ) We (That being matron_jojo and I) saw Zac and Miri make a porno on the weekend.If you are a Kevin Smith fan? You will like it. It's about the same level of funny, the same level of filthy language and concepts, the same level of heart and just a little more T'n'A (it is a movie about making a porno after all...) than Mallrats, Jay and Silent Bob and Clerks II. Plus it's got Seth Rogan in it (but more like Superbad than Knocked Up - after all Superbad is just a Kevin Smith movie without Kevin being involved...) I liked it, matron_jojo thought it was ok, if you are not overly PC you should give it a go too.It's like a chick flick for guys... | |||
| Feb. 15th, 2009 @ 11:05 am Home Again! | |||
|---|---|---|---|

As much as we loved the trip, it's great to be back home! Especially as matron_jojo is not feeling at all well since London (Wednesday) and the we had to fly home! (12 hours in the middle row of a 747 between a fat English guy who smells of tobacco and my poor sick wife - thankfully the second leg: Hong Kong to Melbourne, was in a recently refurbished Airbus 330 and only lasted 9 hours - we had the aisle and window!)If put up some of our photos on facebook! Follow the links and add me if you are not on my friends list! Part 1 - the hockey trip through Rome, Barcelona, Paris, Antwerp and Amsterdam here! Part 2 - our personal trip to Copenhagen (the party shots are in a student bar at the Uni) and London here! snoogins! | |||
| Feb. 8th, 2009 @ 07:27 pm ...is in Copenhagen | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| (Oh wow - I just wrote my longest post in six months and lost the lot... I'll try again - (3rd time lucky - grrr)) We are now in Copenhagen and I actually have time to write a post (again). We are kind of glad to not be home during the heat wave and bushfires but I am not at all looking forward to going back to work with all the propert damage that has been going on... In the last three weeks we have been to Rome (crazy old), Barcelona (remids me favourably of home), Paris (arrogant frenchies), Antwerp (yawnish), Amsterdam (YAY Snow) and now Copenhagen (with friends). We are here for another two nights then off to London for two night then the long trip home... Thoughts of Europe? The public transport systems are absolutely awesome compared to ours - And really easy to navigate (with the possible exception of Paris). Romans and Parisans have no idea when it comes to road rules. Scandinavians make us look like absolute prudes. I have been colder when playing hockey but playing in snow was so unbelievable that I lost focus on the game a couple of times. War memorials are so pointless yet so necessary, and you really can't appreciate them till you have been there. And once again I feel lucky to live in Australia... I would like to write more, and will, but it's time to eat just now. See you all soon... snoogins | |||
