They are Veves - voudou icons, that come out of the native icongraphy of West Africa, Catholic symbology and the ironwork so often found in 18th and 19th century french colonies. They function both as symbol and way of contacting the loi, gods/avatars relating to different aspects of everyday life.

That first one was for Papa Legba, the kind of gatekeeper to the Voudoun pantheon - you need a favour from someone, you gotta ask him first.

The second, yours, was that of Erzulie, the loi or goddess/aspect of love. Awww.

No, I'm a lost cause.

I'm going to try to start writing a story tonight.

If it's printed, yes!

Mikey, it's about gaming stuff, but I won't get into details until it's in print :) :)

kate: sold! do they expect a discount?

mikey you are so not a last cause. that first weeks post after you finished work were headspinningly good! i think we all need to find that space outside worrying about the 9-5 to flow.

― mullygrubbr (bulbs), Tuesday, 12 July 2005 04:57 (eighteen years ago) link

Sorry Mikey, just want it to be a surprise for whomever cares. :)

― Hotman Paris Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Tuesday, 12 July 2005 04:58 (eighteen years ago) link

Yes, my brother wants a discount, which is fair. It would be pretty low of us to sell it including a real estate agents commission since there isn't one.

My story is the first installment of something larger, in which our protagonist is tapped on the shoulder by a mysterious figure to take a very lonely, very dangerous job. However, job perks include a prolonged lifespan, the chance to meet interesting people from many different cultures and an excellent knowledge of the most happening places in town.

This strays nowhere near the spy/sci-fi genres. I wanna play around a bit with folklore, superhero tropes and horror cliches.

If anybody knows about the legend of the tzadikkim, I'm drawing inspiration from that. I'm aiming to replicate the kinds of worlds Neil Gaiman has a hand in, without the very english/twee patina.

― Mike Stuchbery (Mike Stuchbery), Tuesday, 12 July 2005 05:28 (eighteen years ago) link

Working on the first chapter. Our hero is getting headhunted by the runty little bastard who has served as Melbourne's own superhero since the middle o the nineteenth century...

Eventually, I got given jobs to do. I would wake up to find some weeping dearly departed, throat dripping with blood directing me to some hovel where I’d beat the drunken bastard who’d slashed her throat half to death before he could manage to get rid of the body. Creatures and spirits who had stowed away along with immigrants on ships to the new colony came to me seeking protection. I’d have to settle turf wars between leprechauns and the servants of the Jade Emperor.

I began to realise that the city came under attack every day. Ever had a whore, lad?

I shake my head, still trying to verbalise.

You don’t know what you’re missing. The whores of a city are like the canaries they used to take down a mine. When they start disappearing or turning up in pieces at the bottom of a rubbish pit, it’s time to go looking for the right arse to kick.

― shine headlights on me (electricsound), Tuesday, 12 July 2005 22:29 (eighteen years ago) link

Yeah, photographic lighting is terribly expensive. It's because they are designed to give a nice white light, whereas cheaper options are all yellowish and I am beyond sick of colour correcting every single photo I take.

Little cunt? The character, or the inspiration for the character?

Is it just me, or is there a growing assumption that Liz is dead? Until anything's confirmed I reckon it's dangerous to make an assumption like that, if only out of consideration for Liz and her family/friends.

damn, yeah, it does. the smell of brewing coffee and fresh cigarette smoke.

my next door neighbour, for whom i harbour the most violent hatred for a variety of reasons, smokes like a chimney. he literally gets out of bed at about 2am and goes downstairs into his courtyard for a fag, waking me up when he slams his door. and because of the set up of the complex where i live, it invariably wafts into my unit, even if all the windows are closed. i cannot express how awful i find it to wake up to the smell of cigarette smoke on a beautiful and otherwise perfect morning.

― gem (trisk), Friday, 15 July 2005 07:42 (eighteen years ago) link

Oh yeah, hey, that reminds me, I like the smell of cigarette smoke

EXCEPT

there's this greasy goodfella-wannabe on the bottom floor who goes outside to smoke two apartments below every morning, so i wake up to nasty, nasty weird italogreek supertobacco smoke smell most mornings.

He's marked for loogie out my window down onto his.

Yeah I smoke, but when I'm hungover like a bastard it is the LAST thing I wanna smell (I dont smoke during the day at all, ever, unless for some reason I start drinking at like 3pm heh). So smoke makes me wanna hurl, to the point I make nick go on the balcony hehe =)

― Trayce (trayce), Friday, 15 July 2005 08:21 (eighteen years ago) link

yeah see i could never do that when i was a smoker, that thing where you don't smoke during the day, or only smoke socially. i would have my first smoke as soon as possible after waking up (i.e. before brekky) and then would be constantly thinking about having the next one right through the day. i was a pretty heavy smoker though.

Morning Mongrels. What the fuck am I doing up on a Saturday?

― Product of Australia / Kate (papa november), Friday, 15 July 2005 20:00 (eighteen years ago) link

So I went and saw Sin City last night.

JESUS CHRIST, WHAT A FUCKING GREAT MOVIE!

It's weird, movies like Sin City and Kill Bill have made me feel more alive than any other movies in YEARS.

(they also inspire me to heights of stupidity - i started training with a bokken, or wooden katana, after I saw Kill Bill part one)

― Mike Stuchbery (Mike Stuchbery), Friday, 15 July 2005 23:48 (eighteen years ago) link

I am not doing that on call week EVER AGAIN. Last night I was so fucking ill when I came home I had pains in my chest from stress, and I ached all over and wanted to hurl. Luckily, after doing one last late job, nothing else came thru all night and Iwas able to tuck up early with a cammomile tea and sleep very very soundly.

Altho, when I woke up this morning I had a minor panic attack thinking about how to extract myself from this work situ and my chest hurted again :( Then I fell back asleep and dreamt gunmen were having a standoff in my parents street with the cops which we thought was kinda cool until we realised they were ALL OVER THE PLACE AND IN THE YARD and one came inside brandishing a shotgun and grabbed dad, and we all shouted "no no dont! He just had a heart attack!" (I guess y'days events trigggered this), and I was a sobbing frightened mess trying to talk the gunman down, saying "dude yes I agree, single dads DO get the bums rush from the govt, I agree! We all do!"

And then I woke up :/

― Trayce (trayce), Saturday, 16 July 2005 01:55 (eighteen years ago) link

Also hey Mikey - I should hook you up with my friend Dom, who has a sword class weekly where they train in sword and katana and such moves, I reckon you'd be into that. I think now you need licences and shit to weild and own swords in vic tho (I know he has one now).

Oh er, Dom doesnt run the class, he goes to it. I didnt word that well.

i wonder how i can get him back for the noisy sex sessions with his series of dubious lady-friends though..

pay a prostitute to have sex with him, BUT tell him he's rubbish when she's done! the resulting blow to his ego will surely cause impotence, leading to the halt of any further noisy sex sessions.

Seriously, if it's been driving you to drink and causing you to cry into your pillow for a solid length of time, GET THE FUCK OUTTA THERE. There are other jobs for you out there, Trayce, which don't involve such insane working hours.

― Mike Stuchbery (Mike Stuchbery), Sunday, 17 July 2005 03:54 (eighteen years ago) link

Believe me, Im looking into that. They do keep promising things are gonna change soon and if they change in a particular way I want, I will stay, but only on my specific terms hours-wise (I want a contract for eg). The company is pretty useless, no one has contracts, I'm being made to do work and hours I never signed on for and so is everyone else. Even the head network architect guy is pissed off and going to quit soon if things dont shape up - and they;re fucked if me, dom and that guy up and resign.

― Trayce (trayce), Sunday, 17 July 2005 04:04 (eighteen years ago) link

Sounds pretty bad. What are the consequences for you of the org going belly up suddenly? Is it worth getting out sooner rather than later?

― moley, Sunday, 17 July 2005 04:26 (eighteen years ago) link

If the company went bellyup, i'd merely be out of a job, and as I havent been there long its no loss really (tho I spose I'd lose whatever super contribs have been taken off me in the 3 or 4 months Ive been there). I cant knock the fact I've gotten invaluable experience from the job - I knew nuttin' about satellite broadband before now - but the big problem is most places that'd hire me in a flash for my skills would all have rotating shiftwork :(

― Trayce (trayce), Sunday, 17 July 2005 04:30 (eighteen years ago) link

That said I'm going to start keeping a keen eye on Seek et al from now on, and start making "change this or I am leaving" noises at work. The worst that can happen is they let me go, and that'd be a relief to be honest. If I worked that right I might even be able to get dole for a few months to tide me over with my savings.

As for Harry Potter.. grr.

Trayce, you need to help me get all the computers connected through my router to talk to each other :(

Are they all XP machines? If so it should be fairly easy:

- your connection will have a static external IP like 203.50.X.Y whatevs. This belongs to yr DSL modem. If the modem is also a router then you're peachy - assign the router side of it with a private IP such as 192.168.1.1, with a default gateway as per yr dsl IP and a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0.

Then give each other machine on yr lan an IP as well, they can be anything starting with 192.168 so eg 192.168.1.10 and 192.168.1.20 and so on... same gateway and subnet mask.

That should be it.

If you're trying to run DHCP, or wireless networking, or one of the machines is a Mac or win98, then thats where I run away screaming and cant help.

― Trayce (trayce), Monday, 18 July 2005 02:03 (eighteen years ago) link

O, and assuming you already did all that, then you have to make sure each pc has the bits you want to access shared in explorer. I dont know if it lets you share (or is wise to share) a whole C drive but give it a burl... or share like, My Documents and etc and then map that from the other PCs.

Something like that... Nick did most of our set up, I could be talking out of my ethernet-capable arse here.

― Trayce (trayce), Monday, 18 July 2005 02:06 (eighteen years ago) link

Trayce, I did something like that, and had mixed results. I can see all the files my housemate Rebecca has in her "My Documents" folder (which is great because of all the South Park, Futurama and Family Guy stuff she has in there) from my desktop. That's all good.

She can't see any of my files, though. Also, from my laptop, I can't see anything on either computer. Argh. Oh, I'll have to get a smart person to look at it. Ideally, I want to be able to look at all my files on my desktop from my laptop and vice versa, and for Rebecca and I to see each others' document folders.

― edward o (edwardo), Monday, 18 July 2005 02:09 (eighteen years ago) link

Yeah we had similar hassles, basically. Would work one way but not t'other. Never did find out how nick fixed it. Hm. Im sure it was noth8ing more than making sure sharing was on and stuff but i dunno...

there are many people in the world who buy rounds. in answer to the question of 'who'.

― shine headlights on me (electricsound), Wednesday, 20 July 2005 03:35 (eighteen years ago) link

of course nobody would be expecting adam to do so. round buying etiquette is surely dependent on the group involved.

Yes, and would that I had the funds I'd be buying rounds orright.

(For the record: esp in large groups, I dont like to buy rounds and if I can I'll beg out of adrink being bought for me, or offer the cash for it upfront. I dont have the money to be keeping tabs on the tab, as it were).

― Trayce (trayce), Wednesday, 20 July 2005 04:03 (eighteen years ago) link

Yeah, I don't like buying rounds unless I'm getting a big hell of a drunk on and I'm flush with cash.

So are we doing this thing?

― Mike Stuchbery (Mike Stuchbery), Wednesday, 20 July 2005 04:04 (eighteen years ago) link

i guess rounds are best on jug-o-beer drinking type occasions, such as i tend to be involved in at the uni tav, where beer is cheap anyway. but you guys are probably smart - if i go out for the night i tend to spend inordinate amounts of money and i'm sure some of it is on rounds for people that never pay me back and don't do the 'offer cash up front' approach. not to worry, swings and roundabouts i'm sure.

― gem (trisk), Wednesday, 20 July 2005 04:09 (eighteen years ago) link

Yeah, I do love the jug style of communal drinking. Something delightfully medieval about it all.

― Mike Stuchbery (Mike Stuchbery), Wednesday, 20 July 2005 04:12 (eighteen years ago) link

spot on mikey! especially when you're all sitting at rickety wooden bench/table setups in teh beergarden. i also enjoy the delightfully fun communal drunkenness aspect!

― gem (trisk), Wednesday, 20 July 2005 04:14 (eighteen years ago) link

I bought a round for everyone last FAP, but I never get to see you guys, so I think it was justified. It's certainly not part of my normal pub behaviour (otherwise I'd never be able to afford to go out)

― In the springtime of the year / Kate (papa november), Wednesday, 20 July 2005 04:18 (eighteen years ago) link

Yeah, when I was a poor uni student, as opposed to a poor school teacher, I'd duck across to the Clyde with uni pals and drink jugs for three houres until we were roaring pissed, then I'd go to my afternoon history tutes.

Fuck, those were the good old days, the golden days, the all or nothin' days!

― In the springtime of the year / Kate (papa november), Wednesday, 20 July 2005 04:29 (eighteen years ago) link

:P~~~

But aye, a good point re the jugs (fnarr). I mean like if Im out one on one with someone, they get our drinks in and i'll get the next drinks in, thats fine. I dont really think of that as rounds tho. Its a bit hard to be involved in a round when you're saying "o! Might a lady haveth the chardonnay imbibed with the finest of sparkling sodas?" cos everyone will just tell me to stop being such a pussy and drink the bloody VB they bought.

Same here. Like you, I buy rounds [when capable] to be kind and do my bit, not to get drinks back. Anyway I can't drink beer anymore so it's a bit of a moot point really.

I am coming to your hood Trayce and Adam so I can take lots of photos, because I am setting a subplot of my novella (I'm way too lame and inexperienced to tackle a novel) there. It's starting to look a little like Goodfellas.

The tragic love interest is a Typhoid Mary kind of figure.

― Mike Stuchbery (Mike Stuchbery), Wednesday, 20 July 2005 22:36 (eighteen years ago) link

God, I ache to be involved in the whole genrenerdscififantasylit scene. I wish I could sit around all day writing a very twee blog like Gaiman.

― Mike Stuchbery (Mike Stuchbery), Wednesday, 20 July 2005 22:38 (eighteen years ago) link

Taking photos to support a subplot? Man I should give that a try. What specifically are you planning to capture? Perhaps Trayce and I can give you a couple of pointers to relevant stuff.

― Hotman Paris Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Wednesday, 20 July 2005 22:50 (eighteen years ago) link

Well, I know Balaclava is pretty heavily Jewish, so I want to capture the flavour of the place, what does it look like? How do the people sound? Is it palpably different from other suburbs.

Subplot is -> Supernatural mob war taking place in Melbourne, all the ghosts and goblins of the ethnicities that make up Melbourne are at each other's throats, couple of kids training to be rabbis are selling Golems as muscle/bodyguards to various figures.

― Mike Stuchbery (Mike Stuchbery), Wednesday, 20 July 2005 22:58 (eighteen years ago) link

Oh awesome. Good places for Jewish things are:

- cnr Inkerman St and Wilgah St, there's a synagogue-thing with security guards always out the front

- Hotham St, between Alma Rd and Inkerman St, Yeshivah College with more security guards standing out the front

- there's a mikveh in [I think] Alexandra St between Inkerman and Carlisle Sts

If you want culture/sounds, Saturday's good because it's no-driving day and they all walk everywhere. Traipsing around Nth Caulfield could be useful too, loads of orthodox jews around there. hth

Pompous expat Australian hipsters in being complete wankers with no clue shocka:

You don't mind your cultural inputs being constrained to Singaporean levels of harmlessness by the father-knows-best state, and missing out on art and culture that people abroad get to see because some pentecostals don't like the sound of it?

I'm afraid I can't agree with you there. I find the idea of my horizons being forcibly narrowed to suit the whim of some small-minded bigot, of the stupid dictating what everyone else can see or say, thoroughly repugnant. And all the sunshine, good coffee, funky local shops and miscellaneous comfort Melbourne has to offer don't make up for it.

Relating to public speaking, about half a minute in a classroom and you've gained the benefits of a public speaking course.

I got to live out my drive of taking part in a drive-by shooting last night, only it wasn't me, it was Sasha and it wasn't a gun, but a kazoo.

I always sort of stick my chin out and pull this daft grin I dont even realise I'm doing! And my face goes all fat :(

― Trayce (trayce), Saturday, 23 July 2005 06:40 (eighteen years ago) link

i somehow stick my chin in so even though i'm little i always look like i have an enormous double chin. also my eyes are sort of half-closed all the time which makes me look super-dopey. i like to fool myself that i only look like this in photos and not in real life.

― gem (trisk), Saturday, 23 July 2005 06:46 (eighteen years ago) link

ok i've just reached new heights of nerdiness. there is a new 'feature' on the recorded lectures thing so you can download lectures as podcast format or whatever they're called for your ipod! i have just tested it by putting on on my memory stick (they are only ~12mb) and moving it over and it works a treat! i was so excited i ran downstairs and told the other four geeks that are also in the library on the first weekend of semester. i will probably never listen to anything else but law lectures until i graduate.

what is corned beef? how do they corn it?

― mullygrubbr (bulbs), Monday, 25 July 2005 02:13 (eighteen years ago) link

Definitions of Corned Beef on the Web:

* Beef brisket (or round) cured in a seasoned brine. Old-fashioned corned beef is grayish-pink and is very salty; the newer style is bright reddish and less salty. Most corned beef today is free of nitrites (alleged carcinogens).
www.nutribase.com/fishmeat.shtml

* Brined beef from the brisket; available in flank cut and point cut.
www.tyson.com/UserControls/ViewTerms.aspx

* Beef brisket, or sometimes other cuts, cured for about a month in a brine with large crystals (corns) of salt, sugar, spices, and other seasonings and preservatives to produce a meat that when slowly simmered in water, develops a moist, tender mixture, mildly spiced flavor, and bright purplish-red color.
www.d.umn.edu/~alphanu/cookery/glossary_food.html

* Salt boiled beef. The small crystals or "corns" of coarse salt used in the pickling, give it it's name.
www.tedcancook.com/terms1.htm

* bully beef: beef cured or pickled in brine
wordnet.princeton.edu/perl/webwn

* Corned beef is beef that is first pickled in brine and then cooked by boiling. Usually, cuts of meat are used that feature long muscle grain, such as the brisket.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corned_beef

i like that one song "tightly" because it's the one i've heard the most. i haven't spent much time with it either but i do think her voice is wonderful

me too. so much so that i have all of her records, as well as the new pornographers' stuff, and also i have ended up buying some compilations that she is on as well. it's my first foray into completism of an artist.

xpost - the live album was the first solo one i bought. i do love it, it has some wonderful stuff on it. especially the covers of soulful shade of blue and train from kansas city. it's my favourite album to have on to sing along to in the shower. also i love that every song is less than 2 minutes. but i definitely enjoy the studio albums more, they seem to have more depth to them. i guess that is often the distinction between studio and live albums though?

yes and no, although i find i generally dislike live albums as a rule unless they're a piece of work on their own (i.e. not consisting of versions of already released studio stuff) or are a departure from the band's usual studio-based style.

well not too much of this has been released on studio albums, although it does have blacklisted and this little light of mine (although that's on another live album of the corn sisters) on it. the rest of it is unreleased i think.

― shine headlights on me (electricsound), Tuesday, 26 July 2005 05:29 (eighteen years ago) link

thats a good point :)

I dont even get bothered by big shitfights here or anywhere anymore anyway. When I first got online I got caught up in the goth IRC community (mostly Melb/Sydney people but a contingent of Perth and Adelaidians as well) and ho boyyyy some of them were unhinged. Like, actually diseminating extremely slanderous rumours in email mailing lists, phoning people to abuse them, all kinds of shit. I let all of it get to me and would be in tears and everything... and then at some point I sat back and thought "hang on, I dont know these people they dont know me, this is stupid". Now I just laff.

The perkiness increases as you near the gold coast. It's a perkiness meltdown there.

Kate: yes! This is totally true. The ones up at Caboolture and the Sunshine Coast are not really very perky, the ones in Brisbane are quite perky and good grief, I nearly got smiled to death when I bought a loaf at the Robina Town Centre last time I was there.

Hi mongs and rainy!

Our local Baker's Delight has a middleaged woman with a bob haircut and a mellifluous voice who uses a proper Italian accent when she says 'Panne di Casa' in a way that implies she's lived a full cosmopolitan life, maybe renovated a Tuscan villa or two and 'made love' in vineyards, etc.: she's annoying.
I used to work in a bakery and it was horrible. Every single customer would ask me how I could work there and stay so skinny, then they'd ask for a Sesame St loaf and expect me to guffaw. It was an un-excelsior as you can get. One time when I got home and looked in the mirror I had a poppy seed stuck to the white of my eye. It looked ghoulish, not perky.

― estela (estela), Tuesday, 26 July 2005 23:54 (eighteen years ago) link

What the fuck is anyone who knows anything about bread doing running a bakers delight?! It's the shittiest fluff bread on the planet. Give me a nice heavy-like-a-brick pane de champagne from the vegan lesbian hippy girls at sol breads any day.

― In the springtime of the year / Kate (papa november), Tuesday, 26 July 2005 23:57 (eighteen years ago) link

whuz sesame street loaf?

― shine headlights on me (electricsound), Tuesday, 26 July 2005 23:58 (eighteen years ago) link

whilst i quite like eating bakers delight i would imagine it would suck sweaty balls to work at one

― shine headlights on me (electricsound), Tuesday, 26 July 2005 23:59 (eighteen years ago) link

true dat. that's probably why they are usually peopled by teenage girls. apart from lady mellifluous obviously.

― gem (trisk), Wednesday, 27 July 2005 00:00 (eighteen years ago) link

I'm terrible, I actually prefer processed to death fluffy white bread, even though I know it is really bad for me.

BD or Brumbys (one of the two) make this really nice savoury danish with feta and spinach in it. If only theyd make it with normal cheese and spinach and maybe a little onion, it'd be perfect.

― Trayce (trayce), Wednesday, 27 July 2005 00:01 (eighteen years ago) link

Sesame St loaf = sesame seed loaf for jokers.

― estela (estela), Wednesday, 27 July 2005 00:02 (eighteen years ago) link

brumby's is so awful. i went in one the other day, it's like a mutant cross between BD and a barely-populated bypass town bakery with a couple of week-old pies still heating away their botulism toxins

I'm a bit picky about my bread. I call white bread buttglue. I guess I am a yuppie food snob after all.

The Brumby Bruffins are ok if you get them early in the morning before the egg has gone all weird and crunchy.

The three Gs - girl, geek or gay - are the labels that teenage boys most fear being lumbered with, a study of Australian schoolchildren shows. The most feared tags for girls are slut, frigid or dyke.

damn, boys these days are wusses! is this why there are no credible aussie hip-hop rivalries??

On the second and longest track, the three mix it up with even more unusual sounds. Turning from straightforward arpeggios, the keyboardist adds unexpected runs that recall some of Sun Ra's outer-space excursions. Morton's door creaking, rumbles and smacks surround all this, resolving themselves as asymmetrical buzzes. But who is it producing what sounds like the clink and clank of manual typewriter keys? Eventually DeChellis gets animated enough to sound out a short theme from the electric piano, that is dependent on trebly, bended notes so higher-pitched that it almost appears as if he's using a toy piano keyboard. In response Hannafin brings various noise makers into play as drumsticks, brushes and mallets are manipulated and moved about on top of drum skins, until the sound dissolves.

i was much more fearful of the 'brain/nerd/dork' tag when i was at highschool. maybe because i was much more likely to be branded with that than 'slut'.

i have always liked that leroy anderson typewriter piece, cliched as it may be. although i can't recall if it has an actual typewriter in it or is just inspired by it.

― gem (trisk), Wednesday, 27 July 2005 00:56 (eighteen years ago) link

it seems lots of IDM use sounds that are a little typewriterish but rarely are actual typewriter sounds. i think it's a lovely sound, and underused. i imagine it being employed as a slightly attackier shaker or tambourine..

― shine headlights on me (electricsound), Wednesday, 27 July 2005 00:59 (eighteen years ago) link

you're right, it is a lovely sound. do you know the other sound i like that sounds cool as percussion... i've heard it in a shins song and also a song last year that i've now forgotten - acre maybe? the sound of a bouncing ping pong ball.

― gem (trisk), Wednesday, 27 July 2005 01:04 (eighteen years ago) link

i remember a couple of years ago me & the bexta sat down with a sound effects cd and made all sorts of neat loops with various sounds, like ping pong balls and gunshots (great snare!) and stuff. problem is i don't know what happened to the loops we made and the sound effects cds belong to her ex.

― shine headlights on me (electricsound), Wednesday, 27 July 2005 01:07 (eighteen years ago) link

I have a royal typewriter from 1914 which makes a fabulous clacky sound and my brother has two from the 1960's. If it weren't so damn heavy I'd post my down for you to use as it just sits under the bed at the moment.

best weird percussion loop I've heard lately = remix of "lean back" with the beat replaced by sampled "thwock!" and shoe-squeaking from a game of tennis!

i like electric ones too.

the secretary in the cubicle behind me at the clerkship i did had an electric one for doing up envelopes etc and it took me about a week to work out what it was as i am now so unfamiliar with the sound. eventually the curiosity got the better of me and i had to poke my head over the partition to find out.

― gem (trisk), Wednesday, 27 July 2005 01:12 (eighteen years ago) link

haha unlikely. i don't think i'd use sound effects for anything other than percussion, possibly drone. it will all end up smothered with gauzy guitar and twee melodies

the Baker's Delight girls at my local usually fall into the inappropriately fanciable category too. there's one girl who has really big startled-looking eyes and rosy cheeks, and I always worry for a second that I've creeped her out before I realise she just looks like that.

d'you go! to Go! Team e-o?

(Mid-State were fine but not especially whelming Jim. Though they noted at one point that it was the first time they've played in seven months, so it's quite plausible that they're usually much better. the drummer of Gaz's co-worker liked 'em though!)
