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.

Damn, I just had the best salad. Big leaves of basil, coriander, mint. Cucumber, tomato and dressing with lime juice, chilli and fish sauce.

Ha! I'm so not a yuppie. I think to be a yuppie you need money.

― Product of Australia / Kate (papa november), Tuesday, 12 July 2005 05:15 (eighteen years ago) link

I just honked down on a chunk of Grano Padano. A yuppie snack? :)

― Product of Australia / Kate (papa november), Tuesday, 12 July 2005 05:25 (eighteen years ago) link

i don't even know what that is

― haitchaeturist (haitch), Tuesday, 12 July 2005 05:28 (eighteen years ago) link

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

give it an aussie larrikin patina!

― there are twelve people in the world the rest are haitch (haitch), Tuesday, 12 July 2005 05:31 (eighteen years ago) link

Well, yeah, I hope that it will come through as very Australian.

I'm also pushing the multicultural voibe with it.

― Mike Stuchbery (Mike Stuchbery), Tuesday, 12 July 2005 05:32 (eighteen years ago) link

haitch ok good i been out of it i believe i can get yours off this week. if i try.

― mullygrubbr (bulbs), Tuesday, 12 July 2005 05:34 (eighteen years ago) link

Ahhhhh Neil Gaiman.

― Hotman Paris Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Tuesday, 12 July 2005 05:42 (eighteen years ago) link

is that an order?

― shine headlights on me (electricsound), Tuesday, 12 July 2005 05:42 (eighteen years ago) link

The man has talent, but he is responsible for a lot of awfulness.

― Mike Stuchbery (Mike Stuchbery), Tuesday, 12 July 2005 05:43 (eighteen years ago) link

I got a lot of love for American Gods and parts of Sandman, but there is some tripe!

― Mike Stuchbery (Mike Stuchbery), Tuesday, 12 July 2005 05:46 (eighteen years ago) link

Stardust is fantastic. American Gods, meh. Neverwhere, awesome.

― Hotman Paris Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Tuesday, 12 July 2005 05:47 (eighteen years ago) link

Oh and Good Omens. Best book evar.

― Hotman Paris Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Tuesday, 12 July 2005 05:47 (eighteen years ago) link

He's good friends with Tori Amos I hear.

― Product of Australia / Kate (papa november), Tuesday, 12 July 2005 05:48 (eighteen years ago) link

She was good once.

― Hotman Paris Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Tuesday, 12 July 2005 05:49 (eighteen years ago) link

We agree on Good Omens. I've yet to read Stardust. Yeah, Neverwhere was good. I'm going to read Coraline to my kids.

― Mike Stuchbery (Mike Stuchbery), Tuesday, 12 July 2005 05:50 (eighteen years ago) link

I'm warming to her. Cait loves her.

Yeah, the man can build a world - that's what I'd like to take from him.

― Mike Stuchbery (Mike Stuchbery), Tuesday, 12 July 2005 05:51 (eighteen years ago) link

Me too. He's got the knack for black comedy in fantasy. More please.

― Hotman Paris Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Tuesday, 12 July 2005 05:54 (eighteen years ago) link

Well, Anansi Boys will be out soon.

― Mike Stuchbery (Mike Stuchbery), Tuesday, 12 July 2005 05:56 (eighteen years ago) link

Good. It's been too long between feasts.

― Hotman Paris Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Tuesday, 12 July 2005 05:58 (eighteen years ago) link

The boy is in town at the moment, but I am disastrously poor at the moment.

― Mike Stuchbery (Mike Stuchbery), Tuesday, 12 July 2005 06:00 (eighteen years ago) link

The boy is in town at the moment

Euphemism?

― Hotman Paris Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Tuesday, 12 July 2005 06:00 (eighteen years ago) link

WHY TWO MOMENTS? MY BRANE!

Neil Gaiman's shortly to arrive in Australia, I believe.

― Mike Stuchbery (Mike Stuchbery), Tuesday, 12 July 2005 06:01 (eighteen years ago) link

He'll be doing a signing at the State Library on the 18th. I've yet to book. If I'm at work, I might get Cait to take along all 10 Sandman books.

― Mike Stuchbery (Mike Stuchbery), Tuesday, 12 July 2005 06:02 (eighteen years ago) link

I've got a book of Sandman short stories. He didn't write them.

― Hotman Paris Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Tuesday, 12 July 2005 06:04 (eighteen years ago) link

Heh, I wish I was so successful people would write stories about my characters.

One day, one day.

When I'm well famous on the nerd geek comic lit circuit, there will be a FAP in every ILXor's town I pass through.

Well, if you left the safety of your cave...

WAH.

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

― shine headlights on me (electricsound), Wednesday, 27 July 2005 01:31 (eighteen years ago) link

Now that sounds more like it.

― In the springtime of the year / Kate (papa november), Wednesday, 27 July 2005 01:36 (eighteen years ago) link

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!)

― kit brash (kit brash), Wednesday, 27 July 2005 01:48 (eighteen years ago) link

i hope at least one of you east coasters went to go! team. i am very sad they overlooked perth.

― gem (trisk), Wednesday, 27 July 2005 01:49 (eighteen years ago) link

I didn't. I had to work late-ish and couldn't get up to Sydney in time :( boo hiss etc.

― edward o (edwardo), Wednesday, 27 July 2005 02:19 (eighteen years ago) link

i may get to go! to go! team. my bassman is mixing MSO at the melbie gig and may be able to schwang a door slot

― shine headlights on me (electricsound), Wednesday, 27 July 2005 02:56 (eighteen years ago) link

yair to be honest i think MSO are better on record than live, but i think that of most bands really

― shine headlights on me (electricsound), Wednesday, 27 July 2005 02:57 (eighteen years ago) link

Melbourne symphony orchestra? Yeah I've seen those guys, they suck live.

― In the springtime of the year / Kate (papa november), Wednesday, 27 July 2005 03:04 (eighteen years ago) link

haw! imagine if indy bands started getting classical supports. there'd be hell toupee

I went Gem, I just only talked about the first support.

The Grates were good too though, turned out I knew and sort of liked a whole THREE of their songs. then I queued up for 20 minutes to buy their CD and it was only four tracks in a cardsleeve and cost ten bucks and I was peeved.

Oh, this is bad, this is really bad! You work, and you slave, and you steal just enough for a sweet lick of that shiny brass ring... don't I get a lick? Doesn't Jimmy get a lick?
