One of the guys who goes to the goth club I frequent is named Steel. It's not even his "goth name", his parents decided it was a good idea. Apparently it was either Steel or Doctor.

One time I was given a bottle of really good vintage red wine and I swear it was way more alcoholic than regular red wine but I looked it up and apparently wine can't age once it's bottled?

Wine can age in the bottle in the sense that while properly stored, the flavor changes over time.  However, the longer it's stored with a conventional cork, the less alcoholic wine becomes as the alcohol slowly evaporates.

Of course, if you believe that something is very alcoholic, you can become psychosomatically drunk, hence the old sitcom gag of telling people that the non-alcoholic punch is alcoholic and the next thing you know your younger brother is wearing your lampshade as a hat, and your friend threw your cat out the window.

Placebo-drunk? So wait, you're telling me I could potentially be a bit tipsy (and therefore quite high in morale) every night if only I could have somebody follow me around and tell me that whatever I'm drinking has been spiked?

Also, the idea of not having a hangover...

Oh man I am not buying real booze again, this is great!

I attended a graduation ceremony once, and one of the students was named Clea Autumn Fields.

There's a woman who's been buried in one of the cemeteries in Canberra for some decades, named Olive Crapp. I don't know if that was a symptom of what killed her.

That's actually a relatively common name, Scottish I think. There's a presenter on British TV called Hermione Cockburn. Pronounced "Coburn" though.

That's Andrew Cockburn. He's a pretty cool guy, he was head of Bio (or at least Botany & Zoology) when I was there in the early two-thousands. I had him for a few classes and did a little bit of field work with him.

All I want to do is sleep more :( But I have to do some admin stuff, read some more for my supervision, go to the supervision, go back to the goddamn theatre to clean up some, then I'm going to a church group with a girl from hockey. I just want to sleeeeeep.

On the plus side tomorrow I don't have to be up until 11 (although I have a supervision at three which I haven't even begun preparing for).

I can't wait until I am finally done with this play and its related tasks.

I just dropped Science Fiction Literature because I didn't like it at all. I feel really good about this.

On the subject of names, in elementary school I sat next to a kid whose name was Miuran, pronounced "my-urine". Also when I worked for the power company I sent a few disconnection notices to a man who legally changed his name to Elvis Presley.

Of course, if you believe that something is very alcoholic, you can become psychosomatically drunk, hence the old sitcom gag of telling people that the non-alcoholic punch is alcoholic and the next thing you know your younger brother is wearing your lampshade as a hat, and your friend threw your cat out the window.

Not to mention the fact that the same alcohol you were drinking can have more or less effect on you depending on a lot of different factors. It's all about what you ate and when. What you did with your day, how much exercise you got. How much sleep you had the night before. If you took any kinds of medication or supplements. There's a whole bunch of things which effect your alcohol tolerance. That's why I am very reluctant to drive if I've had even one drink. Someone of my weight can be caught out so easily.

ok i apologize in advance for this lame sucky whiny post... except this is the blog thread so whatever

i am completely in love with the wrong person and i have no idea what to do about it.  it's to the point where it really makes me feel physically ill.  the feelings are not mutual.  he has a girlfriend.  and even if he turned out to feel the same way, i would be crazy to act upon it.  he is pretty dang immature and also possibly the most selfish person i have ever met.  a relationship with that kind of person is not a thing i need or want.

the problem i can know all of this, but it doesn't matter.  no matter how much time passes the feelings don't change and they don't go away.  it is frustrating beyond belief that i have no control over this and that i have no idea when, if ever, this will go away.  i'm doing a really good job of keeping all this a secret from everyone (including him) and acting like everything is normal.  but i am going crazy on the inside and i wish i could make it stop!

basically what i am saying is feelings are dumb and i think that now that it is 2010 it is high time i have the option to just turn myself into a robot.  one with lasers!

Loathing and love are often confused for one another. I suggest you become a robot (because robots are the shit and fuck yeah lasers) and bone the girlfriend, but only if she's hot.

Guys, do not watch Whip It. It will make you want to roller derby so bad and therefore make you insanely jealous of Jodie.

At my old job, I did some trade with a guy named Genesis. Completely serious. I bought his Mirror's Edge art book.



ETA for blog: We just got home from another night at the gym. I feel pretty awesome because we swam and that was fucking great. However, this time I did not warm up at home on the wii, so I could barely go my full 20 minutes on the bike. And that was lame. But I think I'm doing better with weights and thats cool. I just gotta keep pushing myself.

Linds, two of my new housemates do Derby and even though I have never seen it I am slightly jealous but I know I would never be able to play because I am too chicken. I am thinking of getting some skates when I have money to burn, but just for the fun of it because I haven't skated in yeaaaars and I love it.

I still can't get over the time that I was reading a timeline of Australian history and there was an entry that read "Melbourne founded by Batman"

Quote from: Wikipedia
When he found the current site of central Melbourne he noted in his diary, "This will be the place for a village."[1][2] and declared the land "Batmania".[3][4]

why the fuck is this not still the name of Melbourne

Not to mention baitmania sounds like a particularly tacky store, the type that can only muster up enough money to have their advertisement air on country television, and even then all it would consist of would be some bogan just shouting at you over a flashing image of a fish.

Hey fools!

I actually had a good day at work today. I have hated every second of my job for the past year so this is pretty cool. The reason I had a good day at work? Every year the office has different decorations up for some competition thing it does with the other company offices. There is a different theme every year and the office with the best decorations wins (this supposedly keeps morale up but it is kind of stupid because the workers do not really benefit in any tangible way). The theme for my office is "superheroes" so for three hours and forty-five minutes of my four hour shift today I painted cardboard signs to say things like "SNIKT" and "BAMF" and "SHRAKABOOM". I also looked up good comic book quotes to hang around the office because we're going to have various superheroes fighting villains all over the place and it is going to look pretty awesome. One of the other guys on the "creative team" spent the day constructing a huge (and I mean really huge) cardboard Galactus which will loom over the office and make people work harder under thread of world-eating.

This is probably the first time I have ever thought my work is an ok place to work. That didn't stop me applying for four other places today though.

Not to mention baitmania sounds like a particularly tacky store, the type that can only muster up enough money to have their advertisement air on country television, and even then all it would consist of would be some bogan just shouting at you over a flashing image of a fish.

Nah, they don't do the shouty ads any more. Nowadays they pose next to the back of a ute or car with its boot open and read really woodenly and in a monotone from cue-cards while poorly rendered still photos of the products they're trying to sell you occasionally appear on the screen.

I guess I can hack this driving shit. Logan picked me up after he got off work, and we went driving. His daily driver is a white '84 BMW 745i, pristine condition. Looks like an '80s coke dealer's car or some shit. He's got a Nardi wooden steering wheel on there, glossy as shit, and wood paneling that came with the thing, and the white finish is in excellent shape.

So when we pulled into the Jamba Juice parking lot, him with his beard and aviators, me with my long hair, backwards baseball cap, and sport sunglasses... we looked like fucking dealers. Straight up looked like mismatched drug dealers.

Got my final interview for the coffee shop tomorrow. Totally gonna nail that shit, just watch me.
