Hi Everyone

 

[U2MaNaIcWeIdO]

I'm doing fine SG...been downloading songs for my friends...that's why I haven't been on here in a while

 

[Sad_Girl]

Songs for the wedding?

 

[U2MaNaIcWeIdO]

Songs for the wedding?

No...the wedding has been delayed until early 2009 cause her better half is going to do a tour of Iraq from Sept of this year until December of next year.

I meant regular songs for them.....cause neither of my friends has a suitable download program.

 

[Sad_Girl]

that's nice of you

Sorry to hear he got called up for duty in Iraq, though. That's a tough call when they're planning on getting married

 

[andberlin]

ah, sounds like fun weldy - i always love making mixes & choosing songs for my friends.

[Drea]

Night SG

 

[andberlin]

night sg


excuse my absence, i was actually doing some work

 

[Drea]

 

[andberlin]

it was the 1.30pm rush! classes finish at 1.30pm and so lots of people come in quickly before they go home. was nice though - was able to help a few people find some books for their assignments - being useful is fun

 

[Drea]

I know exactly what you mean

 

[andberlin]

most of the time nobody asks, people just come in, use the computers, maybe print off a few pages and that's it. so it's usually pretty slow in here - haha, searching books for people will probably be the highlight of my day

what are you up to this afternoon/evening/whatever time it is there?

 

[Drea]

Doing the last round of a square for the charity my crochet guild supports, and then I'm off to bed

 

[andberlin]

ooh nice! yikes, i just noticed how late it is where you are! good luck with it though...

 

[Drea]

It's done and the bed is calling G'night Fiona

 

[andberlin]

night drea, sweet dreams!

 

[butter7]

back from uni.

Hello again, everyone.

It's raining outside, and quite cold.

 

[andberlin]

my painting that got into the exhibition for butter and sg and anyone else who's interested...

as i said, it's very low res, there's lots of text on there that you can't really see...

 

[Alisaura]

Interesting painting...

Drea... what if your buzzer fiend was ? And congrats on the hat... I'd love to see Edge in a pink beanie

Babydoll, glad the interview thing went well.

Was it Bri doing the photographer assisting thing? Congrats/good luck/you'll be fine (And apologies if I got the name wrong!)

SG, glad to hear Gav is starting to bounce back. He must be happy to have you there for him :hugs:

Jem, hope the antibiotics do the trick soon!

I think I've used up my hug allowance for the day... Hope to see some of you over the weekend...
Yay weeked!!

75 days to go...

 

[andberlin]

ali
how are you? was just thinking today that i haven't bumped into you in a while, hope you're doing well

 

[Alisaura]

I'm pretty good It's getting harder to be interested in work, the closer I get to my holiday!
And I'm probably stressing way too much about airline security and being late for planes and trains and stuff... *headcase*
I wish I could still use the blue crack from work...

How are you? Congrats on exhibiting the painting, btw... did you put on a disguise and lurk about to hear what people thought of it?

 

[andberlin]

ach, so true - nothing like a good holiday to de-motivate you!
you should be ok - you'll probably be like me and leave way, way too much time and arrive with plenty of time to spare
aw thanks! i was even to shy to lurk! haha! i didn't go near my painting all evening, but my friends who came said they liked it - my classmate from brazil was really enthusiastic about it, but he's enthusiastic in general
i'm good - lots of assignments due, but funnily enough i'm not too nervous about them - i think i'm glad to finally be doing some work

 

[Alisaura]

Hooray for enthusiastic friends
I must make sure I always have a book or something on me, to while away the hours in airports Or is that "wile away"?
There's so much stuff I've been meaning to do, bookings and research for the trip... plus I was out Tues and Weds night seeing bands... One was a jazz trio; have you heard of Tal Wilkenfeld? The guys on Triple J's breakfast show were interviewing her last Friday, and they mentioned this gig... she's this 21 year old bass-playing genuis or something, I had to go see her, and it was amazing! It was pretty depressing too...
Then it was the Howling Bells at the Corner Hotel on Wednesday (the place they filmed the crowd scenes for the WITS video!!)... that was pretty good, although I think I almost enjoyed the opening acts more, cos some moron at the mixing desk turned the volume up WAY TOO LOUD for the Howling Bells' set. It literally hurt, a lot of people were moving to the back of the room. You couldn't hear it proplerly, it was so loud... blah. That kind of volume might have been justified in an arena, but not a pub/club!

 

[andberlin]

i always need books to keep me occupied - i don't know what i'd do if i didn't have them handy
those gigs sound great, apart from the bad sound obviously! i haven't heard of tal wilkenfeld - is it her jazz trio? i might look her up, although i'm not sure if i want to be depressed about my lacklustre playing as well

 

[Alisaura]

Don't worry, I'm depressed enough for both of us! I don't think I picked my jaw off the floor until she was three tracks into the set.
I haven't practised for ages...

I'm between books at the moment, I really should re-read Steven Erikson's series again, I'm two books behind, and his plots are so bloody complicated, I won't know what's going on if I read the latest books now.

 

[Galeongirl]

what a big lightsaber you have

is that a lightsaber or are you just very happy to see me?
