My Mission, should I choose to accept it...
Hmmm. 2:30am. Came home recently from a uni college housing "back to school" DJ gig. The boys got their gear off to "Nude School" by the Painters & Dockers. Again. 'Cos there's nothing like shrivelled drunken willies at 12am to make all the girls go crazy.
Today I will actually use my LJ for a positive purpose - to help organise the extremely crazy 36 hours I have ahead of me once I wake up tomorrow early afternoon.
So here, in no particular order, are the things that I *will* accomplish sometime between friday 12pm and sunday 12am:
- Clean out waterlogged engine parts for my Mitsubishi Sigma.
- Use mum's Nissan Bluebird to pick up the Sigma's (warped beyond repair) cylinder head block from a mechanic in Boronia (45 mins one way).
- Use the Bluebird to drive to Campbellfield and/or Clayton to get a reconditioned or changeover cylinder head for said Sigma (suffice to say, a long trip either way)
- Enquire about the cost of a reconditioned manual transmission for said Sigma. (I don't actually *need* one right now, thank God).
- Enlist my old friends Daniel and Alan to help me make the right decision concerning the last two tasks and to help me with the following task.
- Get as far as possible in re-assembling the Sigma's engine (assuming a changeover cylinder head has been found, and that we have access to all the necessary tools, plus time).
- Apply for 10 jobs to put in my centrelink diary, and on my payment form, which is due friday (yes I have been slack).
- Drive to Centrelink and wait 1243543743 hours in a queue just to hand over said payment form.
- Meet with someone who will make me "happy".
- Meet up with an old friend who is not often "happy", and make them "happy".
- Make myself "happy" (1).
- Spend some time with Sam since she is not working.
- Make Sam happy. And "happy".
- Attend a friend's birthday party.
- Attend Psychonaut on friday night, staying for most of the night.
- Have fun at said club (should be "happy" by now so this one will be no sweat).
- DJ at said club.
- Spend quality time with friends, both pre and post club.
- Load heavy DJ equipment into Bluebird for a gig Saturday evening.
- Drive to Craigieburn. This is harder than it sounds.
- DJ at a 21st Birthday at Craigieburn Sporting Club on Saturday night for 5 hours. At this party I have been asked to announce over the microphone that someone (I don't even get a name!!!) can't make it because they died in a car crash (2).
- Follow up this announcement with "Always Look on the Bright Side of Life" by Monty Python (3)
- Download songs and burn CDs for both Psychonaut and Craigieburn.
- Drive back to Rosanna after the gig finishes at 12am sunday morning.
- Catch a Nightrider bus service into the city from Rosanna (and these only arrive once an hour).
- Catch a Nightrider from the city to Sam's place in Elwood.
- Arrive at Sam's place and Die.
Weeell, I think that's about it, ladies and gentlemen. I am notoriously good at these sorts of weekend missions, so chances are I will accomplish most of them. If you are unfortunate enough to encounter me sometime during these 36 hours, expect lots of craziness. With added croutons and numerous cries of "Moo!". Just don't get in my way, or I will be flustered at you. But, for now, I should stop yakking in a literary sense and catch as much sleep as I can.
Signing off, cholos, may your weekends be less crazy than mine!
Love Dan

(1) I think that we can go one step further here and say "very happy"
(2) This is serious!
(3) Okay, admittedly the chances of me going through with this one are pretty slim, though it might depend on how "happy" I am :) But seriously, how do you follow up an announcement like that? "Okay folks now let's do the Nutbush?"
