Well I only just got into the office, and I was away and working from home y'day, and I'm the oncall person. So no, I cant :/

that's no good. hope your dad recovers swiftly.

Hey James, the website seems like it's a bit of a deadend. Try this: http://www.ourbrisbane.com/whatson/gig/reviews/2005_06_29_4.htm

Thanks guys. :) I'm sure he'll be ok, he apparently just in some pain. Am waiting to hear more.

― Trayce (trayce), Friday, 15 July 2005 04:03 (eighteen years ago) link

i sympathise Trayce. hope his pain goes away. i know its hard but if you've been reasonably reassured its not too serious push it away from your mind for the moment.

― mullygrubbr (bulbs), Friday, 15 July 2005 04:19 (eighteen years ago) link

Hi mongs. I hope your dad is okay Trayce.

Hi Estela!

estela your 'just ignore them' reply to that biker mice thread just made me crack up and spit my miso soup around the place.

― gem (trisk), Friday, 15 July 2005 05:06 (eighteen years ago) link

Hi Kate and gem!

― estela (estela), Friday, 15 July 2005 05:11 (eighteen years ago) link

Trayce, it's not like he sprained his ankle jogging around the block. Your work would be monsters if they didn't let you go home to see what's happening.

― Mike Stuchbery (Mike Stuchbery), Friday, 15 July 2005 05:15 (eighteen years ago) link

well going home wont achieve much when hes in queanbean hopsital and they cant even call me yet with the no phones on in hospitals rule.. I just have to wait :/ Im sure its ok, P.E's are treatable (my friend manda had multiple ones some years back. AND SHE STILL SMOKES)

― Trayce (trayce), Friday, 15 July 2005 06:29 (eighteen years ago) link

as hypocritical as it sounds, i'm starting to realise smoking's for daaaamn fools.

― Mike Stuchbery (Mike Stuchbery), Friday, 15 July 2005 06:43 (eighteen years ago) link

Dude, I knew that right from the getgo, why dyou think I was never a smoker? I didnt touch the things ever, til my 30th year.

Now I guess I think "fuck it I dont care anymore".

― Trayce (trayce), Friday, 15 July 2005 06:49 (eighteen years ago) link

Haha, yeah, I guess when I've had the urge the little voice says 'Shit Mikey, there are a million other things that could kill you too, you know.'

― Mike Stuchbery (Mike Stuchbery), Friday, 15 July 2005 06:55 (eighteen years ago) link

i smoked for 10 years and when i finally gave up i realised that i hated the idea of some stupid inanimate smelly little objects (really the habit itself but you know what i mean) having that much control over my behaviour. still it took me loads of attempts to give it up for good.

― gem (trisk), Friday, 15 July 2005 06:59 (eighteen years ago) link

Yeah, stupid addiction, stupid health problems.

99 percent of the time it's easy to resist, but god, sometimes you just get this hunger.

― Mike Stuchbery (Mike Stuchbery), Friday, 15 July 2005 07:06 (eighteen years ago) link

oh i know the hunger. a 10 year habit is not one that can be cast aside no worries.

― gem (trisk), Friday, 15 July 2005 07:09 (eighteen years ago) link

Its weird hey. I hate the damn things. They smell bad, they taste worse, and many of my friends are disgusted by it to the point of wanting to avoid you... I dont even really get *cravings* perse, and yet...

BTW my dad is ok, not a lung clot at all in the end, thank god. They dunno what was causing the pain but they know it aint his heart or lungs.

― Trayce (trayce), Friday, 15 July 2005 07:10 (eighteen years ago) link

I have far more seriously embedded and nasty addicions that smokes in any case. I mean in the sense that I cant see myself getting off em.

― Trayce (trayce), Friday, 15 July 2005 07:10 (eighteen years ago) link

good news about your dad trayce!

― gem (trisk), Friday, 15 July 2005 07:12 (eighteen years ago) link

i'm addicted to music, books and information.

i fear any kind of technological apocalypse.

i'm already working out which book stores i'm going to loot right after i ransack coles richmond, once civilization goes.

fresh cigarette smoke smells damn good sometimes actually.

― shine headlights on me (electricsound), Friday, 15 July 2005 07:24 (eighteen years ago) link

fresh rollie smoke i still like. fresh taylor-made smoke makes me gag. especially walking through clouds of it at the train station early in the morning.

― gem (trisk), Friday, 15 July 2005 07:30 (eighteen years ago) link

but then again i do remember quite clearly how much i used to love the smell of my own first cigarette first thing in the morning. it's not so long ago.

― gem (trisk), Friday, 15 July 2005 07:33 (eighteen years ago) link

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

smells like... victory.

― Mike Stuchbery (Mike Stuchbery), Friday, 15 July 2005 07:34 (eighteen years ago) link

haha it's all a matter of perspective. now i think it smells like stinky homeless people and sweaty drones that work at centrelink.

― gem (trisk), Friday, 15 July 2005 07:36 (eighteen years ago) link

especially walking through clouds of it at the train station early in the morning.

or in the evening. jesus. you know those people who step off the train and light up straight away and you're in this crowd of people moving off the platform and...gueargh

― mullygrubbr (bulbs), Friday, 15 July 2005 07:37 (eighteen years ago) link

that's exactly what i mean gaz. and you're trapped on a crowded escalator with their fuming cancerwand about 6 inches from your face. the face through which must inhale air. can't believe i ever subjected other people to inhaling my stinky pollutions. sorry other people!

― gem (trisk), Friday, 15 July 2005 07:39 (eighteen years ago) link

bah, smoke up, THINGS FALL APART, THE CENTRE CANNOT HOLD!

*cue Godspeed! You Black Emperor track*

― Mike Stuchbery (Mike Stuchbery), Friday, 15 July 2005 07:41 (eighteen years ago) link

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.

― Mike Stuchbery (Mike Stuchbery), Friday, 15 July 2005 07:47 (eighteen years ago) link

do it mikey! it will be karmic return for my stinky next door neighbour too! i wonder how i can get him back for the noisy sex sessions with his series of dubious lady-friends though...

― gem (trisk), Friday, 15 July 2005 07:49 (eighteen years ago) link

he told me off for closing the gare too loudly one night too.

i think i've found my nemesis.

― Mike Stuchbery (Mike Stuchbery), Friday, 15 July 2005 07:51 (eighteen years ago) link

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.

― gem (trisk), Friday, 15 July 2005 08:23 (eighteen years ago) link

i like to sit somewhere quiet and contemplate. i only smoke like 2 or 3 a day tho.

― mullygrubbr (bulbs), Friday, 15 July 2005 08:30 (eighteen years ago) link

if i could do that i would smoke to this day

― gem (trisk), Friday, 15 July 2005 08:39 (eighteen years ago) link

i have a romantic notion inspired by bill evans

― mullygrubbr (bulbs), Friday, 15 July 2005 08:45 (eighteen years ago) link

the slowest suicide in history

― mullygrubbr (bulbs), Friday, 15 July 2005 08:47 (eighteen years ago) link

haha i suppose we're all a bit suicidal when you look at it like that!

― gem (trisk), Friday, 15 July 2005 08:47 (eighteen years ago) link

i think yr probably more likely to die from a car accident than cigarettes

― mullygrubbr (bulbs), Friday, 15 July 2005 08:51 (eighteen years ago) link

"whatever you do...don't drive"

― mullygrubbr (bulbs), Friday, 15 July 2005 08:52 (eighteen years ago) link

to be perfectly honest the cost was probably the key factor that finally tipped me over the edge.

― gem (trisk), Friday, 15 July 2005 08:53 (eighteen years ago) link

i.e. not the health aspect. although i am much healthier now that i don't smoke i must say. maybe i just look after myself better in general now though.

― gem (trisk), Friday, 15 July 2005 08:53 (eighteen years ago) link

yes...don't do anything that costs money! don't buy anything that is being really heavily advertised.

― mullygrubbr (bulbs), Friday, 15 July 2005 08:55 (eighteen years ago) link

haha. i remember working out that if i gave up smoking i would have the deposit for a house saved up in 12 months or something. of course i never bought a house. but i did save up lots of money that i'm now squandering on further education that i probably don't need either! greedy greedy greedy.

― gem (trisk), Friday, 15 July 2005 08:57 (eighteen years ago) link

you good capitalist gem. now you have knowledge kapital. aquire aquire aquire

― mullygrubbr (bulbs), Friday, 15 July 2005 08:58 (eighteen years ago) link

it's people like me that are keeping this economy strong! and building our great nation on a dubious base of personal debt!!

― gem (trisk), Friday, 15 July 2005 09:00 (eighteen years ago) link

pretty soon it will be all feudal landlords and serfs...o...wait.

― mullygrubbr (bulbs), Friday, 15 July 2005 09:02 (eighteen years ago) link

oh yes and soon i'll be a feudal landlady. perhaps i'll go into insolvency law and see if i can completely and personally ruin a few people's lives, that would be a lovely way to continue my forays into kapitalism.
