I am rather tired this morning; I didn’t get to sleep till about 1.30am last night… I had been awake since 10.00am that morning getting all my gear moved from place to place. It wasn’t so difficult at all, I walked on up to Bunnings hardware, and purchased 16m or so of rope, and we got to work tying the mattress and the longer planks of wood to Mark’s roof.
10.00am on a Sunday morning was pretty hardcore. This weekend has been softcore though. I have had a fair amount of sleep on the Friday and Saturday night… we went to Sean and Caitlin’s about 7.00pm where the smorgasbord was awaiting us, and the booze, oh the booze. Caitlin whipped up some cocktails, and the abuse commenced! I was right in my prediction though, same old people, same old story, and when the most people left, because I was too drunk to drive, I just nestled myself in the spare room and entertained myself through sleep and dreams. Tim woke me up at about 5.30am… by which time I was a little sleepy, but I was sober enough to drive.
So the move went down yesterday, and judging from Linas’ disposition, he is as keen as I am. The bed and the washing machine were the only pains in the bottom, and there were still a few of Taryn’s belongings in the cupboard, but she came over and took care of them, and smoked a spliffo with us. I feel bad around Taryn though, because she is one of the most genuine and beautiful young ladies I have ever met, and it’s a shame that her and Linas split up, but thems the breaks I suppose, and I think their relationship will remain quite amicable, so maybe we can still catch up a bit.
I can't explain to you all my love affair with Hawthorn. As soon as my sister moved to Hawthorn several years ago, I feel in love with the place. It has several quality venues where I can drink and admire the opposite sex all within walking distance of my new place. Our office used to be in Hawthorn, and I used to stay at my sisters house a fair bit for convenience – also on the weekends we would come home from the pubs straight to my sister’s house. The fact that I get extra sleep in the morning is just an added bonus to the plethora of benefits my new location has.
As I was constructing my bed, it was really fantastic to have Linas producing some really quality techno in the next room. It will be good to have a live in critique! But as I said to him yesterday evening, I am not the best critic, because when it comes to techno, there really isn’t that much that doesn’t get my head bopping… don’t get me wrong, I don’t put up with rubbish, but Linas is a good producer, and he has the ‘problem’ of being a perfectionist, so if something reaches the speakers, you can be assured it will already be of the finest quality.
I am pretty mad at the moment though, I just got told I have a staff meeting tonight. I cannot stand our staff meetings. One of my bosses tends to waffle on incoherently and aimlessly for about 30 mins. If anyone has seen the MTV movie office space, and you are familiar with the boss ‘Bloomberg’ that is my boss to a t. I was looking forward to settling in to my new place and getting all my ironing and some washing done… Grrrr…
BAM!!!
