I'm sitting here home alone - and as I said on Facebook, "Ten! is home alone. Setting elaborate traps in case Joe Pesci and Daniel Stern decide to break in... obviously."

So many things to write about, I get lost trying to organise my thoughts and get distracted from writing.

Right, I'm home alone because Em is at Justin Timberlake and I didn't ( Read more... )

Having The Mothership down means I have none of my mp3s available - since music is only slightly less important than oxygen, I listened to some online radio stations - break beat, drum and bass, house - who definitely delivered the goods at first.
But now I've changed to KOFM who are playing the best songs of 1977 ( Read more... )

Last night I went to Tool as expected ( Read more... )

Tonight I go to Sydney with Monkey to see Tool!
I'm so excited. Haven't seen a band this big in a venue this big in years! It's going to be awesome!

Saturday we sign the lease for Buddy. Which is far too early for my liking (since we won't move in 'til next Saturday) but the real estate bastards have got me over a barrel.

Today I went down to Sydney - in fact, I'm still there, at Smem's place - but I'll get to that.

Em and Casey are at Robbie Williams. I drove them down because I'm just that kinda nice guy ( Read more... )

Briefly, I had a delayed hangover. Though it may have also just been a symptom of waking up after an afternoon nap.
Because of the nap, I missed recording the re-broadcast of The Butterfly Effect. Damnit!

Earlier today I tried to diagnose Emma's computer problems. It's definitely erroring RAM-wise, but did the same when I put my (definitely not ( Read more... )

So, it wasn't quite the mix we dreamed it could be...
There's only half an hour of recording - which doesn't exactly showcase Smem's talents.
Equipment was to blame though, really... what was audible through the stereo had a delay - which makes it incredibly hard to beat match and mix anything that sounds good.

But, there's some pictures:

Wasn't expecting this... but now Smem and I (well, mostly him) are recording a mix on the balcony at the House of Sin - so we'll have a fresh DJ mix for party shenanigans tomorrow (complete with psychadelic screens on the TV)

Huzzah!

I'll be sure to post it online as soon as I can - complete with pictures of the set up!

So a few days ago, Monkey tells me that he's got two gold tickets to see Tool.
Jealous, I was.

On Friday night - as we sat around at the House of Sin before going to see TMOC - I had a bit of a drunken rant at Erin. She knows next-to-nothing of Tool's exploits, so I was trying to convey to her how much of an experience she was about to embark upon, ( Read more... )

5pm yesterday was the start of a fortnight of holiday bliss.
I left work (after giving Emma a big goodbye hug and showing Sam Snatch's mighty SR20) stopped by home to pick up supplies, picked up Nay then some groceries and grog.

"Let the drinking begin!"
The unspoken battle cry was almost loud enough to hear.
The home was filled with people (Ian, ( Read more... )
