lolcat of the day

it so is, bro

lament for a monday

thank you 'weeds' for expanding my alt music base

and for being right on the money for my monday

except for the wating by the phone part

god bless teh interweb

lol. cats!

free market

fuck off, telemarketer

you don't give a good goddamn how my day is going, thank you very much

don't you fucking invade my private world and try to make me feel shit about saying no to your cause

i KNOW it's a worthy cause.  i've given fucking money to it before

did you wanna hear a few sad stories yourself? i've got a couple of goodies, you know

no?  really?

yeah, piss off, then

this is exactly why i don't often answer the phone

like now.  i'm ignoring it again, right now

day's dawning, skin's crawling, pure morning

oh, i'll admit it

right the fuck straight up, bro

cos at the moment i've made my bed again to not sleep in it

again

and this could be any of several handfuls of days over the last few years

but i'm willing to throw something different into the mix

i'm not afraid in the least of disturbing the time space continuum - bring that shit the fuck on, is what i say to you

the time space continuum?  yes, well, here is a selection of what i consider to be the most helpful films to discuss the time space continuum and the inherent dangers of fucking with it yet also highlighting the enormous pay off if you can fuck it right:

the terminator series
the back to the future series
the bill and ted films
hot tub time machine
the butterfly effect

there, so now that we're all schooled up in the mechanics and semantics of time travel, hurry the fuck up and get me some plutonium for the flux capacitor i've spent a good part of my sleepless night installing in the mighty corona so that i can nip back a bit and sort some of this business out

off to sort out these useless, painful, interminably long and torturously repetitive days once and the fuck for all

i'm sure through carefully controlled reconstruction of certain events of the past i'll be able to throw in a few self centered indulgences along the way,  not to mention rewarding those of true and loyal persuasion - i'll start that fucking list right the fuck now, since you brought it up

it's not like i don't fucking deserve it now, is it?  so don't be alarmed if i'm suddenly far thinner, even smarter (pttssch! as if, right?) and quite a lot fucking wealthier than you remember from the other day

happier, too.  keep that in the foremost of your mind as i deal to the detritus and debris from the past that's caused havoc in what should be a happy happy life

oh, and in an unpdate a few hours later, teh intahweb delivers this.  click it, oh do it, do it

not everyone is here

you'd think this monday would be good and fuckin' done and dusted, eh?

you really fuckin' would

i think it might be next week already

but who would know, right?

what i do know however, is if i were one of the finn brothers i'd bet my bottom fuckin' dollar i'd be tim

you can see that, right?

when the finns toured in 2004 i went to see them two nights in a row - first in dunedin and then pretty much front row the following evening in christchurch.  we watched neil stroll through the foyer and the restaurants of the crowne plaza hotel from the lofty perch that was the club lounge - you can sink a fair few "free" voddies in 2 hours up there, you know.  in the christchurch town hall tim used an old school playskool microphone and "amp" for a few wrecks'n'effects, particularly during "i see red".  hey - i have red hair, you know - not too shabby a segue for this time of night, really, when all things are considered

in 1984 we were staying with my mum's cousin winnie and her second husband in matamata and tim finn's "fraction too much friction" was being thrashed to fuckin' death on every single radio station from end to end of split enzed.  in fact, every time i see or hear the word "friction" i think of that song and that holiday.  that was the holiday where me and my sister pretended to get shut in the downstairs room and ironically ended up stuck there for two hours until someone heard us shouting through the ventilation

i've been playing a fuckload of crowded house, split enz and the finn brothers in the mighty corona lately - and in the work rocket.  in fact, i like to go and park up on john wilson drive most days, working or not, and drink something laden with caffeine and stare at the water for a while, listening to new zealand music and letting the hamster run on his wheel.  he's spinning pretty fast lately, you know

funnily enough, i had a quasi-stalker this year who was not dissimilar in appearance to tim

in other news, i used the word "incendiary" in an everyday conversation tonight, much to the mirth of the other participant.  but she said the "c" word first, and you can bet it wasn't for fuckin' "cookie" and oh how i laughed then

i use too many words altogether, really, and maybe i should just shut the fuck up sometimes

so

i think i'll watch another episode of outrageous fortune and just drop out for a bit longer

night's still young, hey?

red queen

i said a transformation was taking place

didn't i?

full house

and then the nurse beside me at work laughed because she saw me loading up my stuff to take to the work car and she heard me say "come on neil, i'll show you round dunedin this morning" to my crowded house cd
