i love you even more than being seventeen
according to the calendar, today is Valentines day. It wasn't very romantic though.let me take you all through my day. i know its not over, but meh... close enough.
So here I am, Listening to "save us SOS" by Hot Hot Heat. I haven't heard this song before, but i think i can safely say i like it. I'm also wearing my welding mask so that i can teach myself to type without looking at my fingers. I figure, now that I am a full time geek, i should at least be able to type properly.
mmm... now im listening to godless by the dandy warhols. man this is a good song. last night i downloaded an entire show from November 26th last year. It was the most awesome setlist. if anyone is particually interested, and im sure no one will actually be interested... but go here. The 'I love you' and 'moving out' versions are really quite good. i like them both better this way than whats on the records. Other than that, it sounded like a pretty good gig to be at.
The Dandys are off making a new record at the moment. So you know what that means... a tour! woo! yesss. and ill be 18. even better!
yes, so today i woke up with dad telling me i have mail. i dont know why this was so important that he had to wake me up for, but he did. and then i was in a grumpy mood all morning. In my grumpy mood i decided to look up this valentines day character, he's a bit of a shady character, no one seems to know who he actually is. anyway, so i was in my grumpy mood... until i got to the bus where i was meeting kumiko. i hadn't seen her since early december, cos shes been in japan. but she is back (although she has to jet over there next week again) and well. we had a pretty awesome time getting lost and found again. my new game rocks.
here are the rules.
think of about 5 different 3 digit numbers, eg. 521, 022, 922, 703, 619
then go to metlinkmelbourne.com.au
and type the first number into the quick search.
say you used 521, then you loose out, so you go to the next number... 022.
this tram merged with the 08 tram a few years back, so in this situation, you either take 08 at you final number, or you get your next number, 922 and whack that in wuick search, and you end up with your starting point, and destination. Southland Shopping Centre - St Kilda Light Rail Station (via North Brighton).
Or, if you chose to stick with the 08, then its Toorak to Moreland.
And thats the game. You then have to go on that route, whether it be bus, train or tram.
Kumiko chose the number 022, so we chose to take the 08 tram from Toorak to Moreland. But we failed miserably as I was in charge of getting to the tram in the first place. as it turns out, Toorak Station isn't the same as the Toorak on the 08 tram route. So we got on the next tram... which happened to be the 72, and we got off at chapel street. We then saw the bowling place, so we went bowling. I was winning... but due to some unfortunate errors, which were not my fault, we drew. 98 points each I think. I do have photos, but that involves hooking up my phone to the computer, and if the chord isnt in an arms reach of me, then you all wont get to see them.
you people better feel privilaged, because i went into the other room to get the chord.
here is also a photo from yesterday of kitchy raping polly on the beach.
yes, so after bowling, we went and ate at oporto, then to sportsgirl because i need new jeans, then went to coles because kumi needed a toothbrush, and we had to get valentines day presents for Pat. She got him chocolates, and i got him toothpicks and homebrand panadol.On the way back to the station we stopped and said hello to humphrey. polly - he's looking pretty sexy.
When i got off the train i went down to my local sportsgirl and put the jeans i tried on at chaps, on hold. plus this nice top. and, id just like to say, that i now have a pair of size 9 jeans. hahaha, what a joke! size 9!
then i came home. and got all grumpy again. i think just whenever i see my dad i get grumpy. i know that sounds really cruel... but its true.
happy valentines day everyone.
