i found a way to liven up my usually boring tuesday trip to lisarow (nsw). on the way home there's a westfield in tuggerah, which has a jb hi-fi. i'm sure this will slowly send me broke, but it's keeping me up with current releases. i bought cds and dvds today. i want to go home now and watch them.
catching up with an old friend i went to school with tonight. he happens to be in brisbane for his brother's wedding. caught up with him on friday night, which was really cool. talked about all sorts of random shit, including a few references to old times. he's coming to my place tongiht to hang out and play some xbox. it'll be exactly like old times... although back then it used to be n64 - snowboard kids, wwf wrestling, mario kart, mario party, super smash brothers, and who could forget international superstar soccer (the copy we played had slightly melted from over-use, and it had developed torrets syndrome).
i've been looking at new guitars to buy... but i've decided i don't really want to spend the money... some of you will be questioning "where is the real scott? And, what have you done with him?" i am still considering building one up. i can't seem to find the parts i want tho...
so on the band front... nothing has happened. clearly. i'm too far away from adelaide to start talking to people. i don't know how well this is whole rock band thing is going to go. i'm back for a waterslides show next weekend. which annoys me, in a way. so much effort for something that means fuck all... i guess i could amuse myself by betting on which band member will get the shits first, or what piece of equipment shits me so hard i want to throw it at someone's head. again, all of this makes me miss my guitar. one power point: amp, lead, pedals and guitar. i'm sure some of you may ask... "why can't you just play the guitar in the waterslides?" well... and here's where it gets even more ridiculous... the waterslides refuse to have guitars because they don't want to lugg guitar amps around. forget the two drum kits, 80kilo rack, keyboard, buttload of lights, decks, bass and bass amp... no guitars. what a bunch of fucking cocks, seriously.
i need a splinter probe. i have an ingrown hair on my elbow and it's getting really red. where do i buy one? coles? pharmacy? i've never had to buy one before.
i am still working on getting people to come and visit me. i have people saying "yes" at this stage, but with little to no commitment. so i'm not really hopefully, still. i believe some will come through... most won't. it's a real shame, because i have a huge awesome place and a spare bedroom just sitting there. my brother is coming up next week. i'm really looking forward to that. we're going to watch the soccer world cup qualifier. i have to stress, again, all are welcome to come and stay with me. flights are reasonably cheap, if you get in early enough, and everything else up here is bumming off me.
i'm sitting in newcastle airport again. waiting for my flight. i hate how queensland don't have daylight savings. it shits me to tears. adelaide is now ahead of brisbane. how fucking odd is that? erg. it explained why my flight from newcastle to brisbane has now changed from a regular 4pm flight to a 5pm flight... i get home at exactly the same time. like i need something else to confuse my day.
i'm going to hit the bathroom and head through security. i'm sure my attempt to get ready early will result in my plane being delayed and me waiting around more. erg.
i apologise if i sound truely bitter today, this wouldn't be my favourite week. i hope all of you are travelling much better than i am. cheers.
