*moment*
listening to | weezer \ the green
album
feeling | happy happy! joy joy!
my
area manager came into work today. apparently i
have been with the company for 5 years! omg! 5
years! i can't believe it is that long! she
brought with her a huuuuuuge bunch of flowers and
a very fattening caramel sponge cake! woo for
presents! the flowers are beautiful! i love
flowers! why don't more people buy me flowers?
then she took photos of me to go in the company
newsletter that is sent out to every store in the
country. how embarassing. i bet i looked like
crap.
wow!
what a night last night was! mick hart played for about 2.5 hours.
*sigh* he was absolutely awesome, even if he
didn't blow up the pa tonight.
he played lilac wine, which i was very, very
happy about. then, during his final song i
noticed what i thought was a jeff buckley lyric thrown in, but
dismissed it as me being obsessed. that is, until
my friend steph asked me afterwards if she was
correct in hearing a line from jeff buckley's
song "eternal life" during the song.
*phew* i'm not in need of help just yet!
funny moment from the night:
yukky drunk guy wearing a flanno up the front
dancing with a quite attractive blonde. he kept
looking at her seductively and it was very
distracting! i kept wanting to laugh. i was sure
i was going to have nightmares last night with
him in them!
after the gig my friends and i went to talk to
mick. we asked him about the line from
"eternal life" and he said it was one
he had always loved and that it was a bit of a
tribute to jeff. this of course led to a
conversation about jeff. mick and i bonded over
jeff. we shared a *moment* mick saw jeff live -
he was in the 2nd row at the gig he went to! we
talked about the new live album and each raved
about the version of "dream brother" on
it.
i then lamented the fact that mick had not played
"hymn l'amour" (this is an edith piaf
song which jeff was also known to cover). mick
then went on about edith piaf's lyrics and how
the french have such a passion for words that it
makes him want to throw all of his out. he told
me that if i saw him at the annandale in sydney
later this month before he heads off overseas, to
write down "hymn l'amour" on a piece of
paper and to place it in front of him to remind
him to play it for me. he said he loves to
perform the song - especially in france where the
french go insane and sing along to every lyric.
then i told mick's sexy drummer jerry his porn
moustache made him look like david arquette. he
laughed and said i was the second person to tell
him that. i think we also shared a moment when i
asked him about girls trying to pick him up at gigs
(was that subtle of me? lol).
i got to see pat rafter win match point against
andre agassi after mick finished. there was a tv
on the other side of the bar and match point came
up when i was buying a beer. i yelled to my
friend steph "oh my god it's match
point!" when i did this, the girl who was
serving me said "i'll be back in a
second" and ran away to watch it! lol
oh, and the newcastle knights kicked the brisbane
broncos arse 44-0! suck shite brisbanites! you
can have your state of origin! teeheehee (yes, i
did used to follow football, but i don't anymore.
however, it still feels good to kick bronco
butt!)
glenny

of the sun (s)

i went cd shopping today. this is what i bought:
beaumont street beat:
gomez - machismo (ep) $2.99
credit to the nation - tacky love song (s)
$2.99 (i bought this merely because the band
sampled radiohead's 'high and dry' for the song.
no, i'm not obsessed.)
hmv:
the simpletons - f (s) $2 (this had a
limited pressing on 1000 copies, and we didn't
think they were actually distributed to stores.
very, very happy with this. there is a song about
ned flanders on it. :D)
hoolahan - king autumn $4.95

weezer - the green album $21.95
plus my favourite cd in the world as a present
for a friend... i think it is about the 10th copy
of that cd i have ever bought.
jb hi-fi:
screamfeeder - kitten licks $3.99 (jono and
glenny got the last two cheap copies of screamfeeder's "rocks on
the soul" cd for $12.99 each. i searched the entire
shop for another one, but the only other ones
they had were for $21.99. kmart has the album for
$19.95 so i wasn't going to waste $2!)
portishead - dummy $9.99
blur - 13 $12.99

that's 19 new cd's for me! i'm in such a good
mood now! cd shopping always makes me happy.
especially when i get bargains like i did today!
woo! *yay* for cd sales! i did not pay full price
for a single cd! :D
i
kept getting these weird homey text messages from
a girl named 'duz' thisafternoon. lol. she sent me 2 or 3
and asked if i am one of her friends and to
message her back if i am. but i'm not her friend,
so i'm not going to message her back. unfortunately she seems
to have finished sending me messages now though.
aol
is a biatch and i don't think i can be bothered
getting it in order to chat to jen. it keeps
telling me all the nicks i try to register are
taken... and i don't want some stupid dumb gay
name! plus, i already have 3 chat programs, and i
think that is more than enough.
get irc jen! even though i don't use it much at
all anymore, i will if you are there!
i
just got off the phone to my friend cam in
sydney. he has 3 spare tool tickets. they are
seated tix, but it means i can now go! woo!
*dances* plus they are good seated tickets. corey
is going to take one of the other three. anyone
else wanna come with me? we are still after a
3rd person.
i'm so happy! happy! happy! happy!
days without a fag (ooers hehe hmmm
nevermind): 76
