Aurora Islands Superthread

My sis is having a party at the local pool for her five year old tomorrow. I can't think of a worse idea. All those people, the hot sun, crowded water, cranky folks. Luckily I have to work. Feel horrible missing yet another birthday though.

OMG I love fairy bread... even with the hard round sprinkles.

There may be something to this plan...

I'd have totally scheduled myself in to work to dodge that too ...!

Plus I have no bathers so couldn't go in the water. Seems to be impossible to find any that are halfway flattering and cost less than $60, a piece!

It is beyond me how togs manufacturers get away with charging so much for so little.

I know! The fabric, even if it's super fantastic quality couldn't be any more than $20 a metre, most would take about 30cm max for a top and bottom. Add in lining, a bit of elastic, some foam and maybe a shiny accessory and I fail to see how they can charge that much.

I'm surprised you haven't pilfered material from work and made your own!

We have crappy lycra, no patterned and dodgy colours.

 

[Cin]

Alrighty, I'm tired. Off to bed to the sweet sounds of honking neighbour and ps3 gun attacks.

 

[Alisaura]

I really should listen to something or else take off these hot headphones and go to bed...

Better get out that paisley corduroy then!

 

[Axver]

Aw, g'night Cin!

Join me with awesome shoegaze.

the thickness of the cord would give me some extra boobage.




will think on this while sleeping.

 

[Alisaura]

Oh wait, I have a choc scone to eat.

Do I want to nuke it, or will that be too much heat?

 

[Alisaura]

A tranquil evening to you...!

 

[Alisaura]

Join me with awesome shoegaze.

Do I already have this awesome shoegaze?

 

[Axver]

Mmm, choc scone ...

Do I already have this awesome shoegaze?

Uh ... not sure I've given you Have A Nice Life or not (excuse shit band name). But I can roll with OTHER awesome shoegaze.

 

[Alisaura]

Whoops, fail.

I dunno what I'm in the mood for...

 

[Alisaura]

And no, I don't think I have that band...!

 

[Axver]

Did I at least furnish you wish some Ride, Swervedriver, or Chapterhouse?

 

[Alisaura]

Did I at least furnish you wish some Ride, Swervedriver, or Chapterhouse?

The first two, at least, yes.

 

[Axver]

Oh yes, I remember we listened to Ride on one of the long flights to/from Europe.

I'm in more of a Swervedriver mood though. Last Train To Satansville ...

 

[Alisaura]

Choc scone is good, even if it is arguably too warm to be nuking it and melting butter thereon.

We... did??

:senile:


Righto, Swervedriver it is...

 

[Axver]

I was wondering about the wisdom of that!

And yes, let's crank Mezcal Head.

 

[Alisaura]

*cranks*

 

[Axver]

I totally wish there were more shoegaze like this. The dream pop end of the spectrum has its place, but most dream pop shoegazers are pretty boring and don't have half the hooks of Slowdive.

Slowdive ...

Stuff like Ride and Swervedriver, at the heavier end, I find to be more consistently engaging.

 

[Alisaura]

... Yeah. They do stuff good.



*cheesemelt*

 

[Axver]

Given the temperature, you have an excuse.

 

[Alisaura]

Why thank you.

Haha, this means I can get away with being a total brainless (branless?) drongo until Tuesday at least. Sweet.
