Much money later, and I have three tickets for Dream Thater in January! Liz and my good friend - and metal head compatriot - Paul shall be attending the gig with yours truly and damn it, I'm stupid excited! I could be kidnapped and bound right now, and not care - unless they wouldn't let me out in time for the concert, of course.Anyone else keen? I ( Read more... )

Firstly, merry festivus gift giving period to all!

Also, before I go on, the stress in my last post was in regards to the possibility of losing all hte money I put down on lay-by for the guitar and effects board because I've taken too long to pay it back. I won't find out the final descision on that one until I get back to the store - which at this ( Read more... )

That's it, I love this place. We just went to lunch to celebrate someone's leaving. The walk over was fun, chatting and getting to know the gang. Everyone is great in this office, we're all geeks, several of them musical I might add, and everyone has a sense of humour. I feel so much more at ease with those I work with after this little jaunt.

Yes, for the record, that's what WOOT stands for. Just like SPAM stands for Stupid People's Advertising Material.

I Think I'm gonna love it here. Not only are the crew from Creata just plain awesome - pretty much all of us in this office are the creative arm of this international firm - with a chilled out but professional attitude, but it's loads of ( Read more... )

After all the fuss I kicked up last night about the interview...

I just got called to say I (love you) got the job, and can I start either tomorrow or Monday. I said I'd get back to them. I'll probably want to start tomorrow because money is good, but have to make sure I tie up all freelance loose ends. Thankfully, I'd been tapering things off ( Read more... )

Thank fuck he's gone! "And survey says... you're outa here!"

Howard, after being a complete fuckwit, a poor head of state, as well a Bush's butt-whore, is finally gone. I'm just listening to his "I'm taking my bat and ball and going home" speech, and only toward the end (just before the "I'd like to thank god and my family" part of my speech) did he ( Read more... )

So I had this urge to go to Parramatta this afternoon. Why? Pfft, I just felt I needed to. As soon as I got there, I had a good friend run up to me and greet me warmly.  Imad is still insane (think me, but constantly hyperactive and on speed or sugar) but always good value to hang out with. He's 21 and so cute! Reminds me of me when I was young and ( Read more... )

After doing a rediculous amount of washing and ironing last night, I sat down and watched Galaxy Quest. Whether you love or hate Star Trek, this' brilliant! It's the only thing outside of the Toy Story saga that Tim Allan hasn't pissed me off - the rest of the cast is phenomenal, and had my inner geek snorting, saying "mer-hey!" The plot/script ( Read more... )
