Oh, dear me. I forgot to say good morning! Happy Wednesday Mongrels, life just keeps rolling on.

That's tops Frank. I mean Mikey.

don't buy the prose-only Stardust Mikey!

What's wrong with the prose-only version? :(

if she'll let you?!?

It's hers too, she doesn't want me getting pissed and dunking it in beer.

Ahhhhh, gaze upon the loveliness. I think this is the lighting kit I am going to buy.

― Product of Australia / Kate (papa november), Tuesday, 12 July 2005 21:37 (eighteen years ago) link

You'll never need another lighting aid ever again.

― Hotman Paris Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Tuesday, 12 July 2005 21:38 (eighteen years ago) link

I feel rather sick. I am going to lie down.

Now I just have to figure out what the import tax is going to be. Yuck.

― Product of Australia / Kate (papa november), Tuesday, 12 July 2005 21:41 (eighteen years ago) link

Import tax including GST is $550. Geez.

― Product of Australia / Kate (papa november), Tuesday, 12 July 2005 22:20 (eighteen years ago) link

come again? how does that work?

― shine headlights on me (electricsound), Tuesday, 12 July 2005 22:24 (eighteen years ago) link

I'm ordering it from an American company (Alienbees.com). Lights are AUD$2770. Import tax and GST is $550.

― Product of Australia / Kate (papa november), Tuesday, 12 July 2005 22:28 (eighteen years ago) link

oh ok i didn't realise how expensive the lights were. that makes more sense now.

― 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.

― Product of Australia / Kate (papa november), Tuesday, 12 July 2005 22:33 (eighteen years ago) link

Cool, I can live with comparisons to Frank Miller.

― Mike Stuchbery (Mike Stuchbery), Tuesday, 12 July 2005 23:13 (eighteen years ago) link

Full bit I've written here.

― Mike Stuchbery (Mike Stuchbery), Tuesday, 12 July 2005 23:14 (eighteen years ago) link

Pretty cool. I like your writing style.

― Product of Australia / Kate (papa november), Tuesday, 12 July 2005 23:30 (eighteen years ago) link

Yeah, thanks, I'm heartened because that is very rough, straight out of the notebook.

― Mike Stuchbery (Mike Stuchbery), Tuesday, 12 July 2005 23:32 (eighteen years ago) link

Sorry man I'll read it later when I'm feeling less nauseous

― Hotman Paris Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Tuesday, 12 July 2005 23:52 (eighteen years ago) link

Ok Pukey, to bed with you! Go get some Mylanta!

― Mike Stuchbery (Mike Stuchbery), Wednesday, 13 July 2005 00:06 (eighteen years ago) link

What's wrong with the prose-only version? :(

it's nowhere near as good as the original? though even that only comes in shrinky wee comic size nowadays.

― kit brash (kit brash), Wednesday, 13 July 2005 01:18 (eighteen years ago) link

I just read a comic book that made me feel like a prude

― Homosexual II (Homosexual II), Wednesday, 13 July 2005 01:23 (eighteen years ago) link

was it cherryy?

― shine headlights on me (electricsound), Wednesday, 13 July 2005 01:25 (eighteen years ago) link

superfluous y

― shine headlights on me (electricsound), Wednesday, 13 July 2005 01:25 (eighteen years ago) link

Orright Mikey, build it in both directions. There's tangible buckets of mood oozing from that piece.

― Hotman Paris Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Wednesday, 13 July 2005 01:26 (eighteen years ago) link

I had that little cunt talking at me all last night, so I wanted to write down what he had to say. I know where I'm going from here.

― Mike Stuchbery (Mike Stuchbery), Wednesday, 13 July 2005 01:29 (eighteen years ago) link

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.

― Hotman Paris Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Wednesday, 13 July 2005 01:30 (eighteen years ago) link

crikey! Import tax? Do you know someone in the states who could take delivery for you and just ship it? Seems that would be at least 1/3 less ???

― Wiggy (Wiggy), Wednesday, 13 July 2005 01:32 (eighteen years ago) link

I agree, Adam, it seems a little inconsiderate

also the comic I just read was called "my sexual history" by david heatley

― Homosexual II (Homosexual II), Wednesday, 13 July 2005 01:33 (eighteen years ago) link

the full version or the extract from ....Kramer's Ergot 5? can't remember where I read it. but I wanna see the whole thing!

― kit brash (kit brash), Wednesday, 13 July 2005 01:37 (eighteen years ago) link

yeah from kramer's ergot 5

doesn't matter anyhow, i'm CELIBATE

― Homosexual II (Homosexual II), Wednesday, 13 July 2005 01:38 (eighteen years ago) link

i seem to have avoided import tax in the past but i'd imagine once items are over a certain size or are insured (and therefore fully declared on the customs docket) it would be impossible to get around.

― shine headlights on me (electricsound), Wednesday, 13 July 2005 01:45 (eighteen years ago) link

Uh oh I think I have to go interstate tomorrow.

― Hotman Paris Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Wednesday, 13 July 2005 01:46 (eighteen years ago) link

Is it time/

I kept hearing the little bastard who serves as the storyteller for the first chapter talking in my head. I knew the basic plot, this was the first exposition that came to me.

― Mike Stuchbery (Mike Stuchbery), Wednesday, 13 July 2005 01:48 (eighteen years ago) link

Well, I think Liz's family are realizing that she's probably not coming back.

― Mike Stuchbery (Mike Stuchbery), Wednesday, 13 July 2005 01:50 (eighteen years ago) link

Is it time/

Long story short: There's a wedding in the country at the weekend, 'er indoors was going there alone tomorrow and I was catching up later, but if her grandmother goes today/tomorrow she's going to need the company.

― Hotman Paris Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Wednesday, 13 July 2005 01:59 (eighteen years ago) link

Well, I think Liz's family are realizing that she's probably not coming back.

Yeah, but people calling it before it's confirmed seems a bit un-delicate to me.

― Hotman Paris Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Wednesday, 13 July 2005 02:15 (eighteen years ago) link

Well, what is this, high tea at the Windsor?

― Mike Stuchbery (Mike Stuchbery), Wednesday, 13 July 2005 02:16 (eighteen years ago) link

Providing it's not evacuated due to a bomb threat, yes.

― Hotman Paris Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Wednesday, 13 July 2005 02:18 (eighteen years ago) link

I mean, I wouldn't call it calling it, I mean, gah... It's a realisation... Gah. Whatever.

― Mike Stuchbery (Mike Stuchbery), Wednesday, 13 July 2005 02:18 (eighteen years ago) link

I know what you mean, but... yeah. If 'er indoors was missing for a week I'm not sure I'd take well to people saying "sorry for your loss" before anything was confirmed, that's all.

― Hotman Paris Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Wednesday, 13 July 2005 02:20 (eighteen years ago) link

I guess I was digusted by all of the bombing threads.

― Mike Stuchbery (Mike Stuchbery), Wednesday, 13 July 2005 02:38 (eighteen years ago) link

Seemed to bring out the worst in some ilxors.

― Mike Stuchbery (Mike Stuchbery), Wednesday, 13 July 2005 02:39 (eighteen years ago) link

Well I know Jon is being a suprisingly turdy twit at the moment, taking the piss out of people on the bad neighbours thread. Way to be thoughtful Jon - kick em while theyre down.

Wouldnt surprise me if he actually had no frickin idea what was even going on.

― Trayce (trayce), Wednesday, 13 July 2005 02:47 (eighteen years ago) link

I just think that if even her family have begun to accept that it is highly likely she's not coming back, it is a little...can't think of the word....for us to keep pretending it isn't so.

― Product of Australia / Kate (papa november), Wednesday, 13 July 2005 02:51 (eighteen years ago) link

That was poorly structured. Sorry.

― Product of Australia / Kate (papa november), Wednesday, 13 July 2005 02:52 (eighteen years ago) link

You know how I feel about the dickwaving going on the analysis thread.

'HEY, WE DESERVED IT SOOOO BAD, HELL, I ASKED THEM TO DO IT!'

― Mike Stuchbery (Mike Stuchbery), Wednesday, 13 July 2005 02:52 (eighteen years ago) link

also, masonic kate is verrrry easy to rumble. jon might be a tool, but kate almost seems to stick around for it.

― Mike Stuchbery (Mike Stuchbery), Wednesday, 13 July 2005 02:57 (eighteen years ago) link

Wow, people turn into the biggest arseholes when bad stuff happens.

― Hotman Paris Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Wednesday, 13 July 2005 02:59 (eighteen years ago) link

Do you mean me?

― Product of Australia / Kate (papa november), Wednesday, 13 July 2005 03:01 (eighteen years ago) link

mikey very very otm there. xpost

― shine headlights on me (electricsound), Wednesday, 13 July 2005 03:01 (eighteen years ago) link

like, the bombing didn't make them precious, they were precious to begin with. right now, it's very amplified.
