Oh dear. I just realised looking at my old posts, that I in fact sang good riddance at a christmas party last week in front of about 30 people (more or less). Daer god no. That is not the worst thing I have ever done drunk!!!! Monday, December 29, 2003

It's fully sik maite no bullshit fucking!!!!111 yeah. Sunday, December 28, 2003
Funny quotes from the last couple of days... "How can you tell they're Russian?" - me "Because they're in a hurry!" - About three people in my family, all at once at the christmas table. My Grandfather has been on morphine beacuse of his cancer and he was halucinating for a while that there were russians in his room while he slept. He's not one of those scary old grandfathers who are senile, BTW. So it makes the stories wierd and kinda cool. Did you know you can trip out when you're doing chemo, too? This kinda reminds me of when dan and I were down on the beach one night and the "reds" were after me. Damn reds. "So he's part of the Aryan (sp) race then, right?" - Me "Yeah, and he won it" - Kirby. Okay, so this one isn't as funny on screen as it was when my sister said it. We were talking about pirates funnily enough.She said that all pirates originally came from Tasmania (which was still Van Deimiens (sp?) land at the time) and moved to the Carribien eventually. Guybrush was from switzerland and his father was swedish, but his stepfather was dutch, and he married his mother when she was eight months pregnant, and gave guybrush his name. It was his father's slaves name from when he was living in South Africa for a short period of time and married a Croatian Woman named Elaine Dokich. Also, Guybrushes real father's name is Ikea Jones, and he started the chain of ikea store across the globe. He was also in abba for a short period of time. Guybrush has a step brother who he never met, and of course, his real brother Lechuck (whose name apparently means "the throw" in french). His step brother died looking for spices in China. My sister is insane. Hey, I should make a new year's resolution.... Okay, it is... To get real fit and buff and to get a full time job and move out of home and start a punk band and go see dashboard live sometime. There. Let's do it! Saturday, December 27, 2003
actually mat, you wont believe it but pirate eye patches are really popular here at the moment! Except some idiots are taking the fad too far anf wearing them on BOTH eyes. Not a good idea. Um, I know pin stripes are in for both sexes and for girls theres heaps of frilly florally girly stuff *girly giggle* in portmans and sportsgirl and stuff. But otherwise, I don't know. I haven't seen any particular fashion accesory around lately but I did get one of those new evian nomad bottles the other day. Very cool. i got a few interested looks on the train when I drank from it. It's the best bottle design I've ever seen or felt.Excellent really. they must have put a lot of research into making a good bottle. Listen to me, what a design nerd.

Think about it, it all makes sense.. the wiggles (the Captain in particular) have been around for what.. about 8-10 years now? Think about how old the kids who USED to watch the show are now.. if they started watching around the ages of 8, then they're 16-18 now.. so you can see that clearly the Wiggles are going to have an effect on fashion.. we all thought Mr.Cusworth was a dick.. but now his little 'I'm from the wiggles' exploits are being copied in all major cities as people realise that dressing up in a primary colour with ill-fitting jeans and a daggy grin isn't as kitch as once believed. And where does this leave the girls? Well, clearly they all can't dress up like the only female member of the wiggles (dorothy) so they've adopted the 'peasant' look. It's the woman's answer to Feathersword... they become the pirate whench with their frilly-sportsgirl earth toned, low-riding, gipsy-bohemic, asparagus-hexagon, skirty things and tops. Though I agree with Cara that some are taking it a little too far with their 2-eye-patch antics, I think the real disaster here is the fake parrots in tropical colours that are all the rage in Cosmo and Geelong this psuedo-spring period.. i mean really.... they just get in the way! I was wearing my own parrot the other day (yes, I AM another fashion casualty also) and trying to drive was incredibally difficult. They say the bigger the parrot, the better, but, mine was hitting the roof of the car. and when I needed to make right-turns I couldn't see out my window cos the parrot was in the way.. I couldn't turn left either cos my eye-patch was making things awkward.. so I drove for about 20minutes in the one direction.. got lotsr and had to reverse back home because I couldn't do a u-turn becaus that involed turning. You can imagin how embarrased I was.. At least I looked cool, and that in itself, is some concilation.

A guy brought in one of those old school 2 dollar talking parrots the other day. It was a bit lame though. I like the ones they sell in general pants heaps better. The pirate thing isn't as big in geelong yet, but I've started seeing more of it. especially in people in my class cos we went up to chapel street last week, and you knoe all the fashion stuff they have up there! you know what happened yesterday? This guy in my graphics course had one of those "peg Legs" and he was trying to walk up the stairs, but he just ended up falling over. Actaully I'm thinking of getting one of those skull and crossbones flags to put up. I've seen HEAPS of people in the mall with them, except I saw a few skanky chicks who hang out there trying on fleathered hats in speakeys so i don't know... I hope it doesn't end up all corio-ish like adidas or somethingg Reply Recommend (0 recommendations so far) Message 9 of 9 in Discussion From: Andii Sent: 30/08/2002 4:38 PM Speaking of peg legs and footwear.. I LOVE the fact that people have taken ug-boots out the living room and into modern fashion.. to think that all this time I hadn't worn them because they didn't really offer proper support and now to find out.. it just doesn't matter! Ha! Don't I feel the fool! Yeah pegs (that's what we call them here) are awsum.. but only on flat ground! I saw this REALLY kewl one just then in my Maths Lecture that this guy had on... it was all carved with pirate stories on it like a wooden comic book! My peg is giving me cramps.. I should do what my friend Ben did and just amputate it so I can have the full effect.. but do you think it's just a fad.. or is pirate and peasant here to stay? Cos I don't wanna remove my leg and then when I get out hospital find out we've moved on to something like Henry the Octopus. I think every fashion trend ends up Corio-ised.. I mean in some sense they always try and follow the fads. BUT they first need to adapt it into something as skanky as what them is always wearin.. It has to first become part of there culture and then it kind of changes from being Pirate to a sub-catagory corio-pirate.. I saw a really good example last weekend of an adaption of fashion into their sub-culture.. a corio-wog had vamped up his commodore into a pirate ship.. It was AWSUM, but you know, at the same time it was really try hardy and corio-ish.. like every rope had a parallel rope so it was like adidas style rigging, and all the cannons were dada. So yeah I think in some sense it will be adopted by Corio, but I think it's too popular and, well, almost sacred, to become skanky. Thursday, December 18, 2003
im, too sey for milan, too sexy for milan, new york and japan... Woo, it's up, nothing there! woot. meh. How come nobody ever reads mah blog no more???? Is it that crap (wait, don't answer that) ? Hey, rememeber last year when mat was in Japan and there was that whole thing we made up about pirates being in fashion? Yeah, it was pretty funny, especially the bit about captain feathersword being a sex symbol. Anway, I've been playing monkey island lately, and man, it is so cool. Graphic adventures rock I remember the first one I ever played was day of the tenticle. every night after school in year seven me and lesh would ring each other to find out bits of it, it was so nerdy, but so fun. Only thing that sucks about them, is once you finish them, it's never as fun again. Like a book. I guess if I went back and played it in ten years.... Anyway, I'm addicted to monkey island, I'm playing the second one right now. it's rad. Pirates rock! (again) Friday, December 12, 2003
Punknews.org | Epitaph signs The Matches this is rad. these guys are a cool band, but it's impossible to get their stuff. Well, hopefully not once they're on epitaph. For a while epitaphs was starting to suck, but they've been picking up now that they don't just sign the same old same old. I'm listening to something corporate right now. I thought they were a pop punk band before now, for some reason, myabe the name, or maybe their music style has changed a bit. I dunno, I just know the new album is cool. I'm getting a TGUK and JEW vibe, but i think every mildy emo band sounds like jimmy eat world. Or yeah, and I'm convinced matchbook romance are a milder more pop punk version or taking back sunday. MP3.com Music Center shit, where have I been? How long has mp3.com been dead??? The longer you spend on the interent, the more sites stop running. It's kind of like a weird version of the music scene. I got into a lot of great bands through mp3.com, so I hope it's not dead forever. Saturday, December 06, 2003
Nirvana's bassist considers politics wow. This is crazy. Crazy stuff. He looks like a polititian....kinda. 4. Green Day – Good Riddance (Time Of Your Life) If you graduated from high school, appeared in the cast of a TV show whose run was coming to an end, or went to a teenager’s funeral in the late 90s, I don’t have to explain how bad this song is. There are two kinds of people in this world: people who hate this song with all the passion their bones can muster, and complete fucking idiots. this is so, so true. |
