its Australia Day! wooo! that means drinking and BBQs are in order. i have two of them to go to and it seems like both of them will be acknowledging the triple J hot 100 count down. that starts at 8pm friday night eastern standard time. listen in. claire says silverchair is going to be number one. i hope not. although i really have no idea what was "hot" this/last year, and i didnt vote even though she told me to. oops.
sunday is UNKLE, monday is BDO, tuesday is the nighwatchmen, wednesday is arcade fire rage aginst the machine (traded that ticket and decided to go out with my girls), and thursday is lcd soundsystem (need ticket!). busy week.
i saw my supervisor for the first time in almost two months today. we were having a morning tes thing for her birthday, and since i havent seen here since i got back she asked me about my holidays. i dont think she knows i went to new zealand. anyways, i now have a request to make another slide show, and to use the police as music. i stated i do not like the police, but she does. since i knew it would be an excellent way to waste time and not work on my thesis i started making a slide show. and downloading the police & sting's greatest hits. i think that my mom likes the police and i can give it to her when i get home... where i will be in less than six weeks!
the police show here is tomorrow night. everyone and their mom, and grandmother seems to be going. its at the melbourne cricket ground, thus 110,000 people can go. sydney got two shows. oh and fergie is one of the opening acts. the non music elitest people in my lab all think that is stupid, and that people would actually go pay shits loads of money to see her and leave without seeing the police. that would be stupid.
somehow in all my holiday dealings i forgot that i have pants being altered at lulu lemon. i need to go to prahran and get those sometime soon.
i somehow managed to fuck up my proxy settings on my laptop today. in months past i thought it would be a good idea that i could not use the wireless at the library when i go there fully intending to do work. in december i caved, but could only reset the stuff on ie. i hate ie so that was good in a way that i didnt use it too much. this week i had it up and running on firefox. wait until you dont want to do something then everything else becomes very simple. i dunno what the hell went wrong when i came home as i switched it all back when i left.
the night that i stayed up until 2am to buy tickets didnt go as planned. i went to sleep, woke up at two and got my tickets fine. then i was exhausted all the next day and had to take a nap. now i am back on my staying up late and being ridiculously tired in the mornings. sigh. next week doesnt look like it will be any more conservative with sleeping habits either.
australia day,
stupid uni,
concerts,
wooo!,
sleep
