The Sleep Of The Righteous.

How good was My Restaurant Rules last night. That fuckin Greek idiot was totally shattered when he lost "his" restaurant. Even the cries of "Go Melbourne" were choked with the snot of a loser. There was much debate on the couch as to who deserved to win. My vote went to Perth because they were a good team. It was great to see justice done!!

When the cats out of town the rats get down OR Is it hometime yet.

The boss is "working from home" today. Does that mean he's in his dressing gown and watching springer on cable or he's actually suited up at his desk fielding calls and making those important decisions like, we need a sign in the kitchen to remind everyone to put their dishes in the dishwasher? He loves to laminate, my boss.

Weekend: Painting, a little bit of sanding, murdering wildlife (i'm sorry but a red back the size of a german shepard is not welcome at casa Glenung and i was too slow to belt the snake i found behind the shed), Saturday night started nicely with chicken crimpy biscuits and playstation then turned a shade of ugly at the pub. Too many beers and too much change for the jukebox. Kickstart my Heart got turned down by the management. They had "there's no other way" by Blur. Bought back very many underage memories!!
Other gems were:
"wrap me up" by Alex Party (i don't know why i like that song)
"Betty Boo" (made me think of miss J for some reason)
"Opposites Attract" (ahhh my first kiss at the ice arena)

I don't think they'll invite us back in a hurry!

Saw Tim Rogers and the Temperance Union last week. Very cool show. The little feral girls clap dancing up the front was a highlight for me. Timmy is a real performer. He signed my single and picked out a t-shirt size for me. Very affable and funny. I always thought he'd be a bit of a wanker but he was really nice. It was very exciting for me, meeting one of my guitar heroes.

The other big news is that our tv is on the blink. It works ok if you give it a whack. I finally discovered a use for my trade school text books!! Hurts much less than using your hand to hit the little bugger.
Made it very frustrating to watch My Restaurant Rules and see Adelaide get booted off. Yes, fuck off, i am watching reality tv and enjoying it. Their reality is sometimes much better than mine. Especially between 7.30 and 5.30 monday to friday. Or when i'm tackling a redback with just a shotgun and a piece of 2x4 and the spider is taller than me. Seriously, the Hills are a dangerous place. No wonder those Blackwood people are fucked up, they live in fear of being consumed by millipedes ( thank you so much to the dickhead who bought one of those thing over to Australia, thank you so so much) or spiders. The lil gecko's and skinks are cute but you can have the snakes.

Back to work, all of you!

Our house is a mini version of the block.
We are renovating, i repeat we are renovating. Run for you lives.
I kind of enjoy it, you're up the ladder applying No More Gaps to the cornices and singing(though i was told it sounded like whistling) along to the latest Green Circles album, gives a man time to think about life...... and how you wish you could take the life of the dolt who applied the last lot of no more gaps. When it's all done and you can stand back and peel the top off a cold Pale Ale and admire the work it's all worthwhile. Makes all the broken fingernails and dust in your eyes worth it.

Have been very slack with keeping up with absent friends lately and to all of you i apologise! Lil Adelaide has been a busy place for us the last few weeks. Dinners, housework, guitar lessons, band practice, cat behaviour modification all in the life of two young hills dwellers.

Met the crazy neighbour last week. I found all about her son and how he's studying and that he's currently asleep and that we'll all have a bbq. Thanks but no thanks crazy woman.

Ahhh the post moving brain fade.
we moved all our worldly possessions on saturday, driving the truck was way fun!
No breakages apart from my Fender Twin amp is playing up now. Fingers crossed it's nothing too serious.
Cat is settling in to a bad routine of sleeping all day and partying all night.
We are both tired and looking forward to the weekend (girl not cat)
Housewarming TBA.
