Well it's all gone. All my shit is in Melbourne. M is down there unpacking and setting up and starting work. I have two weeks here in a room with only a computer and a bed. Hopefully i can sell the bed too. If anyone reading this knows Brisbanites who'd like a bed and/or desk, please drop me a line. I don't expect much money - i mean worst case scenario i'll give it to charity anyway.
One of the most depressing things about my stuff being gone is NO MUSIC. And not only no music but NO MOVIES. Normally on the weekend i'm busy out and about and doing things, but because i'm going so hard on the credit cards i now have no money so i can't even go out. Fuck i can't even afford to get hammered at home. I can't even afford to pick up something to read from the comic shop! DVDs are all gone. CDs? I have a local trance mix CD, a local acid mix CD, the Kadoc album (house), and a Norman Cook house compilation. Listened to them way too much the last week.
And Michael Bublé. I saw him on Rove (Aussie Letterman) a while ago and thought he was hilariously smarmy. Getting his self-titled CD was one hell of an unexpected Christmas gift. My weak spot for smarmy pretty boys is supposed to be an LJ secret ;-) Anywho, turns out he's really popular here in Australia for some reason. Some of his stuff's a bit overblown, but when he gets that rolling syllable action going it's like Marc Almond or Chris Isaak and it's the bomb. I need to find more of that jazzy croony torch song stuff without going too deep into the overblown love song arena. Swingin' and groovy.
I guess i should get back to staring blankly at the walls for a while. Yay.
