I'm goin' well thanks. I'm from Victoria, so yeah. Sounds like you are too if you're doing the Games thingo. I was going to be in two bands I think but I decided it was too much of a commitment...

Yeah, I am :).
Fair enough.

Man, the entertainment for the games has been sweet. I missed the 1812 last night (with cannons!) because of this maths course I'm going to :(. We saw an awesome Latin band though, and I had Subway so I can't complain.
It's like this massive 24/7 party in the city at the moment.

/waits for Gav's story

Alright, just for you Trea :-*.

So there was this party up in Kallista (:gah: ) thrown by a friend of mine from school and it was talked up to be pretty big. So the plan was to catch the train up to Belgrave station and then catch a bus from Belgrave to Kallista and then walk from the bus stop to this dude's house (yes he does that before and after school everyday), then afterwards to catch a taxi all the way home with three friends.

So we get up to his place at about 7:15 and it's relatively mundane at that time.. only myself, Mitch, Chris, Rory, Matt, Tom, Dave, Tom and Ally (mass bukkake). So I take a seat around the fire and start chatting away to all these people that I haven't seen in ages. Then more and more people started turning up and it started getting darker and darker so we turned the music on and someone brought a strobelight so we plugged that in and started dancing and stuff.

Then there was some kafuffle regarding Mark and co. and their methods of arrival. It was dark and they got to Belgrave station and didn't know where to go from there so I had to get two taxis for them and stuff (the taxi lady was mean to me :(). Anyway they got up there eventually and stuff blah blah. Then there was going to be what looked like a nice fun punch on (I like the idea of a punch on this far away from home because you don't have to worry about seeing the person again, let alone getting stabbed whilst walking down to Safeway :p), but that didn't happen in the end.. aw. Nothing else really happened at the party, just dancing and talking etc etc.

Then at about 1am the host's old lady asked if we were staying and we said no so she asked if we could leave as soon as possible so we organised two taxis to take us to Belgrave station... we being myself, Scott, Jesse, Mark, Ben and Ruth. We got to Belgrave station at about 1:45am and just sat around drinking and stuff in one of the little sitting-room things (yes these are the things I love doing, shut up) and then this dude that lives at the station (!!!), came in and told us we were being too loud and that underage drinking in public is illegal (<_<) but he was really, really cool about it and just told us to move into a different sitting room that was 20 or so metres away. We sat there until maybe 3am or something when a security guard (different guy) came in and told us that the police come in for a routine check every morning so we should probably leave... which we did.

We found a nice comfortable staircase that we spent the duration of the time until the first train sitting at and just chilling and stuff (and running around looking for places to buy food!), then at 4:30am we caught the very first train which took us to Ringwood (it's really scary how many people are up this early to go to work) and then to Nunawading where we went to Maccas (!!!) and had breaky haha. The large espresso and coke I had sure did wake me up (which was a silly idea in retrospect :p). We sat at Maccas seriously from like 4:50am until 6:15 (haha) when Mark, Ruth and I caught the train from Nunawading to Blackburn where we walked from the station to his place. Then at his place Mark/Ruth and I parted ways and I walked the remainder to my place. I got home at about 7:20am where I went to bed and couldn't get to sleep.

/anti-climaxal story, sorry fellas

Don't you have parents Gav? Or like a gaurdian? I'm not saying this to be mean but damn i wish i could do shiz like that. I usually just sneak out and wake up in a car with foggy windows and some girl i dont remember.

I went out at 9am yesterday mornign and got back at 6pm today :cool:

I went hiking :upset:

Out of the 25 miles (and overnight camp) we did in the massive winds and freezing rains 130 metres above sea level (at one time), one of our team members decided that she couldn't go on with 2 miles left to the finish so we had to pull out:angry:

Only 13 teams out of the 60 who registered managed to finish in time, and I came back with massive blisters, and yet that was one of the funnest weekends I've had in a long time.

Ah that sucks. Did you get picked up because you had to pull out? Or did you walk back :p?

At least you got 23 miles though, the vocalist in my band (honestly) has trouble getting to 6pm with no exercise before he starts feeling ill.
<_<
>_>

[QUOTE=thickasabrick]I hate to be a bother, but could you (or anyone) explain how exactly do I listen to your song? I clicked the link, downloaded the song, played the song, but I got no noise. My speakers work fine as I've been listening to music all night, but I've never used that site that you linked to and maybe there's something I don't know about. Your song sounds interesting by your description so I really do wish I could hear it!

edit - On further inspection, something might be messed up with the volume control or speakers on my comp. Don't mind me.[/QUOTE]

Hmmm, I'd say it would be a problem with your computer... it works fine for everybody else I know...

foolish Jethro Tull fans..................

Haha I have the coolest parents ever.

They're not the total stoner type that just lets their kid do whatever they want and fail/get arrested/etc, but they're not the overly tight type either. They're a perfect mix!

My mum doesn't mind that I go out like that because.. well.. you should see my friends hahaha [size=1](...and me... >_>)[/size].

Mx is doing an 'experiment' which basicly means we're probably going to get an increased flow of 'rate my demo' threads.

Doesn't The Jam Session have like an all-encompassing "screaming" thread? Sheesh.

The last couple days at work I've been reviewing a website that we're putting money towards getting built.

I've been asked to go through it and check that the service outcomes in the orginal funding agreement have been met.

It's a bloody good looking website tho.
I can't find much wrong with it (only one minor issue).

It's not the website alone that's good tho; there's the planning behind it, the usability and accessibility testing that it has been through, the infrastructure behind it, the mareting of it, the ongoing support of it, etc.
Amazing.
From what I've seen, it looks well worth the four million we're paying.

I thought you guys made websites for other people? :confused:

[QUOTE=KKKKKocaine]I thought you guys made websites for other people? :confused:[/QUOTE]
We do make a few.
But there's only three of us in our team.
So for the really big sites, we get others to do.

This one I've been looking at is well beyond anything I'll be able to manage.

Sounds great Gav. Haha, I'd never get away with that.
And bummer for you Simon.

Chris: Only 3? Oh wait, three people doing your kinda job... gotcha.
4mil is... woah. What kinda site is this? Sounds pretty big-time anyway.

We (AYB again) were on TV yesterday, and on ABC/channel 9 news quite a few times too. Hehe :).

I know.. 4 mil made me go 'woah' as well.
It's a parenting information website.
Lots of bells and whistles.
raisingchildren.net.au

And about the going out all night thing. You should try it Trea.
And watch your folks really flip out.
But it'll put things into comparison for them. If you know what i mean?

Eg. On Friday night some kids in their mid teens set fire to a school just up the road from my place. We were sitting around having a few drinks and a barbie and we could smell it.
Now you don't do stuff like that do you?

Alright, nice.

That's so totally something I'd do.
Nah, that's just... :rolleyes:. I don't know why they do it.

Haha they would totally flip out if I went partying or something as an all-nighter. Almost as much as the volunteer from Canada who was at the mountain bike event - we were telling about dropbears and some random overhearing the conversation rustled the tree behind him :lol:.

Haha. That's great stirring up the tourists.

We had a Danish exchange student staying with friends of ours several years back. We were telling him to keep an eye out for dropbears, then a few days later he got swooped and thought one had got him.

We said nah.. it was just a magpie. If it was a dropbear he wouldn't be alive to tell us about it.

Hey Trea.. what's that [LOTE] term for when a piece in a minor key modulates to the parallel major for the finish?

It's like pierce de taci or something.. can't remember :(.

um heloo gaf gaf

r u talking about tierce de picardie or the picardy 3rd

yeuh mostly used in early music and renaissance cuz they thoght minor 3rd interval is unstabl

HAHAHAH!
Oh my God!

I found THE funniest myspace printscreen ever.

This is a guy I know and kicked out of my band because he said he could play grade 7 drums but could barely manage a grade 1 beat in time. He also lied about having cancer and all kinds of stuff. So I feel it's only fair I get to rip on him for THE stupidest thing ever.

I love printscreen and paint.
