Goddamn, dude, you can't do shit on the internet at work... only boring shit.

I can post on mx, go to nhl.com and check hotmail. That's about it.

though I guess everything could be blocked so hey.

I wish there was a way it could be unblocked free access after hours though... I mean as long as you're not doing anything illegal or pumping the computers full of viruses I don't see why you shouldn't be able to use them.

but hey that's the breaks

So, our EP is done tracking. Artwork is nearing completion, mixing and mastering will be done very soon.

We're beginning recording the second EP now.

And my pedal board is slightly updated. It now has an EHX Memory Man with Hazarai on it. I don't know if I mentioned yet that I bought that. It's a pretty sweet pedal. And having two delay pedals, one of which that has a looper, is sweet.

Three awesome snowboarding days, and now, back to the grind.

How was everyone else's weekend?

I'm heading to Japan for two weeks on Friday morning.

I should be more excited, it's a well earned holiday.

Why are you going to Japan? Is there sweet snowboarding there?

They probably do have snowboarding in Japan, even if it's in a simulated biodome on the 110th floor of a skycraper.

Wow this is nostalgic. Last visit 24 July 2008...beast.

It's like a top of 6 degrees over there at the moment haha, I'm gonna die. It's 25 right now in the dead of night. They do have ski slopes, good ones I hear. But I couldn't afford snow insurance, nor can I ski. I just want to frolic, I've never seen snow you see.

Just a holiday man, long overdue, I have barely been out of this city in over 2 years.

Hey gaslight, if things go ahead as planned and I don't bitch out and quit my band I should be in Sydney by around May/June. Just after my birthday and a cousins wedding (incidentally also in Sydney).

I've never seen snow either.

You should totally come with me, it's not the hooch speaking. Get tickets and I'll meet you there. Deal? Of course.

Can't afford plane tickets let alone time off work, especially in the school holidays :lol:.

Either can I but I'm doing it anyway!

soon as I get back, time for full time work and some saving saving.

Ah well, I'll see if I can't keep you guys updated on my misadventures. I'm going to write a humorous story regarding my misadventure when I return.

Anyway, off to bed for me!

There's an old Japanese saying that cautions travellers.

[i]Beware-uh, cocktopus.[/i]

Seriously.

Watch out for the cocktopus.

Possibly cocktopi.

Never seen snow? I figured Australia would be far enough south to be considered temperate and have some peaks that got snow. Interesting.

Many snowy parts of the US (specifically, Colorado and Utah) seem to be filled with Aussies during the December-March months because it's vacation time and they all come to work at the ski slopes.

How come New Zealand gets snow but Australia doesn't?

I played a gig at an indoor ski slope last night.

Australia does get snow down south further. Winters for me don't often even get into single digits haha.

i.e. nowhere near 32 for you imperial fucks.

Yeah there are mountains that get snow here but I'd have to drive really far out of my way to see it.

Eh, too much effort.

How's Sydney at the moment?

I'll be living in Atlantis soon.

Sydney's nothing special man just the same old shit whenever.

Of course it's also one of the most fortunate cities in the world and anyone born into a life here is quite blessed but yeah, ups and downs.

im really starting to get fucking pissed off

my bass came on saturday, but because i dont have a fucking doorbell, i missed fedex

then for some reason they say its not going to come to fucking TUESDAY (today)

so on saturday i told them to hold it at the fucking fedex office near my house

and now today, the day i expect it, i get a messsage saying NOW ITS TOMORROW

what the fuck

I may be in a similar debacle with FedEx with my wine club shipment because I moved to a new address and the winery hasn't called me back for my new address information.

In other news, this is one of the best Wiki pages I've ever read:

Haha yeah it is.

xkcd steered me there and I found it branched into more misconception pages too which I always find interesting.

I brewed up two more 1-gallon batches of mead today. I'm attempting a lemon-lime and a chocolate-cherry mead. I'm using bread yeast, so I suspect that I wont get much more than 9% (ABV) out of them. I might need to toss in some wine yeast to bump it up to 11% or 12%.

I still need to rack my CDA to the secondary tonight and do a week or two of dry-hopping. Whew. Busy-busy.

What's everyone else been up to?

Why are you trying to push your ABV up?
