I got that job that I was going for.

:D

The one a while back there?

Congrats man! :D

Thanks Trea.
Yeah they took a good while to get it sorted out.
The boss gave me the news today, even tho I had it pretty much confirmed to me last week, it's just back then it wasn't totally 'official'. Today it was.

Last week i went and bought a bike and have been riding to & from work. Good for the fitness.

Congrats chris, what's the job for?

Nah trea, haven't jammed since then with yearly exams and such coming up for us, 1 more day of normal school then 2 weeks of exams and i'm done with year 11.:)

I can't wait for the holidays i'm going up to queensland to my dads which should be awesome as i haven't seen him in 2 years. Snorkeling and scuba here i come :p

Your musical day sounded fun, my school had an art exhibition 2 weeks ago and needed some background music so me and 2 mates that play piano and sax did this jazz/blues improv for nearly an hour, it was pretty fun. My music teacher wanted us to do a shortened version for our prefect induction which was today, but the sax player is having it repaired so ah well.

Haha i'm like that with solo pieces too, you always pick up on every single mistake and the crowd most often barely notices a thing go wrong. :lol:

[QUOTE=Jo Shoe Wah]Congrats chris, what's the job for?[/QUOTE]
Thanks.
The job is as a web officer. Managing and updating several websites.
Front end design, architecture, function, and content mainly. A little bit of infrastructure, but not much.

I'm an accessibility and best practise nazi when it comes to the web.
And also dabble in publication design as welll; things like posters, brochures, even bloody coffee mugs.
The amount of stuff i've gotten myself involved in keeps me very busy.

I'll have a chat to the boss tomorrow about $$ as well. See how much I'm entitled to.

Sweet sounds like something you'll enjoy, good luck with it man.

whats up guys

Hey ben, not much aye just relaxing probably bed in a bit, you?

How are ya?

im good probably going to bed soon aswell

That's good. Do you still give classical guitar lessons..slash what have you been up to?

Hey Ben, sup?

Sick mate. Improv sessions are great. Good luck with your exams as well :).

Good on ya Chris. That reminds me. I got told off last weekend because I exercise. They called me un-Australian.

I've started off the holidays with getting home and doing 2:30 of trombone, going back to some more later xD.

I also managed to pick up an Armik cd for $7 (they're usually $30-$40) and I got some more Wagner because I can (and because I'm playing some orchestral exerpts of his). Yay.

Pfft. What's more Australian than 'Life be in it'?

Haha, truth

Haha yeah if anything i would think australia is very pro-exercise, although admittedly we do have a huge obesity problem, how stupid in any case.

Mad i finished school today just the exams to go then sweeeet sweet holidays. :)

Gunna be good.

How're the exams going?

Woo, this room I'm renovating is starting to look hella nice. Cleared everything out, managed to sell the spare fridge to a mate who'd been helping out for $10 (jokingly offered and next thing I knew it was sold), painted the plastered bits, polishing up the stairs and wooden bits around the room (it's a combination of mud brick, wood - got a lot of cedar and stuff in there so it's looking great - and plaster), putting down some carpet, then it's just a matter of sealing the bricks and we're pretty much done. No idea what to use it for but hey.

Yeah, other than that it's just the usual going on for me. How's life for everyone else?

I'll get you around to my place to do my Kitchen / Bathroom / Dining room / family room. ay Trea?

You betcha mate. You do my homework for me though ;).

Exams are going pretty well suprisingly. I had english on monday which i reckon went fairly well, Ancient History on tuesday which due to my poor attention to timetables had me there 4 hours early, so i got a decent amount on study/sunbaking in :p

Maths was on wednesday and that was pretty easy, Physics was yesterday that's probably been the hardest so far but still alright i spose. Now i've got a 3 day break before Pdhpe and then music on friday. :angry: They always lump music on the last possible day.

Other than that i've started writing with a few more ideas i've had which as i've said before seem to come all at once and move in small jumps. :p

You could use it as a study, recording room, chillout area perhaps? Wherebouts is the room relative to other rooms in your house?

Good to hear. Nice organisational skills there haha. Yeah they do seem to check music last don't they. Don't know what's with that.

If you ever record/midi up/whatever your songs or ideas, let us hear em (if you want to). :).

I'll find a use for it. As long as my parents or sister don't start filling it up as soon as I finish.
They so will.

Haha tell them theres something dangerous that you still haven't fixed until you find a use :p

And yeah i'll be sure to upload something once i've got it down, thanks for the interest. Hows school going for you?

Haha maybe.

School's going great with holidays and all... :p
I'm doing a lot of study though. Mainly for my year 12 subject. That said, it doesn't mean I'm not partying xD. I'm getting back into my whole exercise obsession too.

Only thing I've got uploaded at the moment is that thing I wrote for the composition challenge thing back last summer if you're interested. Note the fact that I don't actually play piano and my "recording gear" (oh, that's so laughable) kept clipping on me.

What happened to those song-making things anyway?

Hey that was awesome especially considering you don't play piano normally, all of my compositions are the beginnings of ideas that haven't really gotten too far haha. So i hope to finish some off these holidays.

Thats awesome you guys are on holidays i've only got two days of exams to go i can't wait.

Thanks :).

I'm heading to the beach for a couple of days, catch you guys later :cool:.

News flash: I'm board, and have no musically realted work until next weekend.

[QUOTE=Aus_rock_god;13332298]News flash: I'm board, and have no musically realted work until next weekend.[/QUOTE]

Dang, what are you gunna get up to?

And that's cool trea have fun, how far are you from the beach? I'm a five minute walk :p

Grr, I'm 40min away at least. Which is great seeing I'm in love with surfing.

We went down to the Prom (it's the most southern point of Aust. - mainland anyway :p). It's awesome there but it's like a 4 hour drive or something.
Therefore, right side of trea is now more tanned than left side of trea.

It was hella windy though. Got some classic shots of me looking a bit like a messy-haired Cousin It because of that.

I'm mostly MX ing. I should be visiting my kid soon, so that will kill one day of bordom.

How are things with that, man? You going okay with it all?

Haha awesome sounds like you had fun. The weather isn't so great up here today but it's been bloody hot the past few weeks. I just finished my last exam an hour ago and leave for Queensland tomorrow so i should be hitting the beach alot up there :D How was the surf?

And yeah hows things with your kid? How old is he/she?

Gah, I want Queensland! Will ya still be MXing?

Surf was great :D. I shoulda taken my short but I took my mini mal for the fun of it. I'm teaching my dad (and the rest of my family actually) how to surf so it was better for that anyway. Funny stuff, I'm telling ya.

Random stories:
Yesterday I was in the city talking to some mates, and I was standing on this ascending rock wall that would've been less than a metre high off the footpath. This old guy rides by on his bike muttering something, staring at me, then suddenly yells out "DON'T JUMP! DON'T JUMP!!!" and keeps riding down the road.
"okay... I won't jump..."

While we were away, I also got told that it was "probably time to blow up my sleeping bag" (instead of air bed), and I called the dashboard the windowsill.
Don't ask me why.

Man I love it when exams are over. I hate it when holidays are almost over :(.
Enjoy it mate :chug:.

:lol: DONT JUMP....oh god.

I remember when i was learning to surf with my mates, it was hilarious. We all decided to start out the back and got haaaaaammmmered by wave after wave after wave, but i'm slightly better now :) Though i haven't been in aaaages it's always so cold or unpredictable up here.

I'm not sure if i'll be mxing or not, i don't think my dad has an internet connection though i'll probably come on at some point...that is when i'm not on the glorious beach just across the road :p

Yeah i'm sooo glad holidays are here, have you got one week left?

Haha, nice. Trust me, it'll be colder down here :p.

I started on year 7 camp. We weren't allowed to go out back but I somehow managed to get up on my first wave, then my second, and my third, and one of the teachers who surfs was like "hey, you look like you've done this before, come out the back a bit with me."

Nah, I go back this monday. Stop rubbing it in :p. You going to surf while you're up there? What type of board(s) do you have?

Hahaha, nah i don't have a board up there...or a guitar :( But i'll probably just bodysurf...its so easy in the water up there i seem to float alot easier :confused: Saltier water? I wanna go scuba diving again too, i wen't last time i saw my dad out at lady musgrave island and it was sooooo cool :p

I have 2 boards a mini mal and a short fibreglass one which is a tad too small for me now...when i sit on it the whole board usually sinks about 5cm below water haha, and don't even get me started on some of the stacks ive had on that board :lol: I started back in year 5 or 6..didn't go at all for about a year for some reason..then started with some friends again in year 8, and beginning of year 10 did surfing for school sport which was pretty cool.

That sucks that your holidays are almost up :sad:

Aw, scuba'ing is awesome, I love it! Bodysurfing's alright as well. Meh! It's the beach, it's all good.

Meanwhile I'll be doing summaries. Hooray.

C'mon, you're not sad, unoit.

Haha, my mate's lent me all three seasons of Black Books. Mad hillarious.

I'll say it's sad to think that in 2 weeks i'll be where you are except year 12 :amaze:

I've never seen any of Black Books what's it like?

Yeah true.

It's a Brittish comedy so it rocks. There's this bookshop owner Bernard who's drunk and smoking all the time and hates customers. There's his assistant Manny who's really gentle, kind, and customer-aware, and their friend Fran who's also drunk and smoking all the time. I dunno, you can't really explain it, but there are things like Manny eating his breakfast or something out of a shoe with a comb...

See if you can find it around somewhere, it's classic. They play it on ABC every so often, so if I notice it's on, I'll let you know.

Haha it sounds like the same line of humour as Faulty Towers, i love that show. Thanks i'll have a look around for it.

Manwell! :grin:

I guess it's sorta like that, but funnier (zomg what a claim).

I've definitely got to see it in that case :p John Cleese kills me. So does the rest of Python.

In other news i had a 2 day jam on wed/thurs which had some interuptions like bassist having an exam for wed morning and not being able to get here till 2:30...and rhythm guitarist couldn't make it on thurs, but overall i thought it was pretty mad, from what i've heard of the recordings (theyre on the bassists computer) the drums sound heeeeeeeeeaps better than usual....and believe me when i say we have sh[size=2]it[/size] mics :p

You jamming with any of your bands anytime soon, how many are you in again?

As bad as mine? :p

Those jams are mad sweet. That was an overnighter thing, yeah?
We do these 50 hour music marathons every year as a fund raiser - between us we have to keep the music going for that long. Problem is, the MD who does that with our concert band is also MD with ayb, meaning I get two a year. So back in June or so it was 80 hours in two weeks :eek:.

I'm in 4. Tomorrow's AYB, should be doing concert band wednesday, possibly some stage band happening sometime soon, but I'm not sure about that, and Deprived of Sanity doesn't get together much these days... probably won't do anything much until summer.

Are you guys gigging at all or anything these days?
