Heh board is so tiny on my phone! But had to report that at the dogs one of the cats brought a mouse into the house! They were toying with it and it was squeaking...i wanted my dad he always deals with these things! I threw a container at it and by luck caught it. Oren got a lid under and we took it far away as possible! It was so horrible :(

That's sad, but at least you managed to get it away. I had to laugh at bit at the image of just tossing a container at it in the hopes of snaring it :LOL:

We're playing a game called 'guess the captioner' at our Christmas lunch tomorrow. For this, everyone has to submit a random fact about themselves, and everyone else has to guess who it is.

I can't think of anything. :unsure:

you're a muse fan!?

Hahhahaha I love it.

Our work did this too!

Do you want it to be something everyone can guess easily or do you want it to be a truly random thing no one would link to you?

_Ed_

17-12-2009, 05:22 AM

I think they want it to be a challenge, so I guess they're looking for some random things.

Time for my break now, I'll go for a walk and have a good think.

Suppose I should make a post here and say hi, always good to see Kiwi Muse fans.

Really enjoying this warmer weather after spending 2 years in the UK, and I can't wait for the Big Day Out. I have been a huge Muse fan for about 9 years but only saw them live for the first time last year for various reasons, picked a couple of good ones though with the Royal Albert Hall TCT Show and V Festival.

I like the back of the second one. I think just having that as the front and a plain back would be cool. Or the same Muse-Moa design on the front, and the 'united states of Moatearoa' on the back :happy:

I like the back of the second one too, maybe put a tiny moa picture to go with it too :LOL: We may need a vote on this.

:( Good job on catching it though!

For my fact I decided to go with my possibly fractured tailbone (never found out for sure - not easy to x-ray, I guess) on 4th form camp. It's quite a funny story - I was walking down some steps with a full bowl of cornflakes, and the morning dew on the steps made them slippery. You can imagine the rest.

There were cornflakes in my hair!

Oh dear. I imagine it would have looked like you were attcked by cornflakes! :LOL:

I finally got my BDO ticket yesterday and got my hair done today :happy:

Hah did you have to sit on a doughnut pillow?

Ooooh poor thing! :( I literally can't think of anything worse. When I went snowboarding I had this epic bail where I flew through the air for a few metres and landed on my tailbone.
Could have angled it better and gone for all the padding, but no, the bony bit won.

Thought I was going to die! :) I just lay in the snow for about 15 minutes after til I couldn't feel my body anymore, hahaha.

And I've never been back! :$

Yeah, I like the first one too, but I also like the mingled logo.

I took some pics, but they're not the best been taken at night.

First one demonstrates darkness:

Second shows the redness more.
http://i144.photobucket.com/albums/r187/Musedmichelle/IMG_0988.jpg

It will wash out slowly though to leave me with a nice brown with red shine rather than just looking dark red. Well I hope it does that again, I think I chose a lighter red, but it is an 'intense' colour which should last longer, not sure if I had an 'intense red last time :erm:

Oh, here's a picture from my last colour.
http://i144.photobucket.com/albums/r187/Musedmichelle/Image022sm.jpg?t=1261042596
Hmm, new hair seems shinier and darker than last time.

Mine was OK, thanks. I'm looking forward to meeting my friend for a drink on Saturday - been friends with him since high school and he's about half way through a 4-year PhD in Germany. He's back here for two weeks. Been a long time since I've seen him!

Fuck yeah, Germany! Where abouts?

I have an appointment with an osteopath tomorrow for a massage. The doctor prescribed them for my tension headaches. We are getting it for $20 cheaper since we can't afford them really atm. Should be interesting, but the only thing that's a little off-putting is that my mum is coming along :stunned: She wants to see some of the tricks and exercises that they will show me so we can do them at home for free. I think its going to be a bit weird getting a massage while my mum is staring :stunned:

Also, we sold the saxophone today which means Christmas food :awesome: Could have gotten $600 for it, but the lady I contacted saw our listing on Trade and Exchange for $500 negotiable so we kind of had to bring it down to that. My mum gave me $100 of it as Christmas time money though which is great.

My friend's dad was also having a huge clean out of their DVD collection, and today I got to go through a big bag and take any DVDs I wanted! :happy: I took about 20 or something :LOL: They had one of those green eco bags full for me to look through, and apparently had taken another 4 of those to Real Groovy :stunned: They have a lot of DVDs. It was like early Christmas presents! :awesome:

Good luck with the osteopath! I used one a lot for my jaw, and it worked well for me so I hope this one works for you so you can kick those headaches to the curb!
They usually use really gentle manipulation so your Mum might not be able to see what to do anyway, but I think that it so nice that she wants to come along!
Just close your eyes and you'll probably forget she's there anyway!

Gutted that you had to sell your sax, but it's also really nice that you did so you can feel a bit more Christmassy.

And wow, you scored big time on the dvds!!!!! Movie night at your place in the new year then is it? ;):D

I am about to head to work, it's my last shift for 09. :dance: And then I'm off til the 4th!!
And I'm on tonight with the boys, so that could either make my shift really cruisy and awesome, or insane because I'm the only one doing any work!
Hopefully it will be nice and steady!!!!!

I totally thought that said 'sell your sex' :LOL: my bad!

Regifting, amirite? :awesome:

The osteopath appointment went well. It was a bit weird having someone poke around at your spine and stuff but otherwise okay. Except at one part I was lying on my back and she was like 'take a deep breath in, and then release it all the way' and she pressed down on the sternum, just below the gap between your collarbones, as I released, and then suddenly she gave a hard press and it was like CRACK :stunned: It really caught me by surprise!
She did one side of my back later and that was not so nice, because she like had to press me into the mattress as I was lying sideways and it kind of hurt just before it cracked.
It was weird because I felt kind of emotional afterward though. Like teary and stuff :erm:.
The osteopath also said that when my mum came in halfway through I tensed up, and that perhaps there is some relationship issues there. She even asked if I was thinking of moving out. I NEED TO MOVE OUT, EVEN THE OSTEOPATH AGREES!
They can tell a creepy amount about you and your feelings by your body language :stunned: Its kind of disconcerting.

Then I went for dinner with friends at an Italian place. It was delicious, and I got a lovely chocolate and cherry lacquer dessert! It was for my friend's birthday :happy:

And good to hear the osteopath appointment went well (apart from the unexpected crack at least. Blimey, that'd send me into shock). Feeling a bit better after it?

Did they not warn you that it can bring out emotions too? I used to get the same I would feel either really fragile and out of sorts or would giggle hysterically afterwards.

They are clever mysterious people!

I've just spent since Firday night in bed, taking vast amounts of Codral and Otrivin, just came down with this nasty cold and sinusitis, and am so unimpressed!
The drugs seem to be doing their thing though and will probably get up later.

Hangovers and work don't mix. :noey: Had a really good night last night though. But my throat is terrible (2 hours of karaoke would do that I guess) and I really really don't want to check my bank balance.

But I think we should do karaoke when Jo and Oren come up in February. And we should do it at the place I went to last night. Why that place in particular, you ask? Well...

Hysteria
Muscle Museum
New Born
Plug In Baby
Showbiz ( :eek: )
Starlight
Stockholm Syndrome
Supermassive Black Hole (did that again last night haha)
Unintended
Uno

:yesey:

Poo at hangovers!

WAAAAT?
Where is this place????
Fuck that is the coolest thing I have ever heard!
Crack up that you did kareoke, I dreamt last night that we all went to watch you on 'Stars in their Eyes' you can guess who you were going to be! :LOL:

I love kareoke, and I haven't done it in public for a while so we should definitely do it.

_Ed_

19-12-2009, 09:39 PM

Definitely. :yesey:

It's a place called Luxury on Queen St that has lots of dark little private rooms. And they play bizarre Japanese footage on the screen that doesn't relate to the songs in any way whatsoever. :erm:

Trying to remember what else I sang...Dancing Queen, Ghostbusters, Truly Madly Deeply (wasn't my choice!), All The Single Ladies (also not my choice), Better Man, Bullet With Butterfly Wings...might be more.

I went to a party last night that ended up being more party-like than I expected :happy: Turned out it was a friend's boyfriend's 21st as well as my friend's birthday, so heaps of people came. It was really fun and my friend got a pair of llama print shoes from her bff and she was so excited :happy: it was really nice.
Then today I finished the awesome card I was making for my friend which was a picture of our fictional band, which includes another friend. It took me a few days to compile the image and everything but it ended up really cool. And I gave her her present that everyone chipped in for- a Big Day Out ticket! :D

Me and my friends tried to make a band when we were 12, we were called 'Poision Ivy' and I can remember all the words to our song! We were slightly stuck by the small fact that none of us played an instrument, and none of us could sing! :D

I've just spent since Firday night in bed, taking vast amounts of Codral and Otrivin, just came down with this nasty cold and sinusitis, and am so unimpressed!
The drugs seem to be doing their thing though and will probably get up later.
How is everyone's weekend going?

Aww, poor you. Hope your feeling better now!

I had a good weekend. Watched Avatar at imax yesterday (it was good :happy:), bought some dvd's and then had dinner at the Mexican Cafe :D

But I think we should do karaoke when Jo and Oren come up in February. And we should do it at the place I went to last night. Why that place in particular, you ask? Well...

Hysteria
Muscle Museum
New Born
Plug In Baby
Showbiz ( :eek: )
Starlight
Stockholm Syndrome
Supermassive Black Hole (did that again last night haha)
Unintended
Uno

:yesey:

:eek: :yesey: :awesome:!!!

You guys seen Muse's SNL performances on Youtube? They seem in pretty good form. :)

Uprising: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_KG_uEqsV30
Starlight: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m2tGDFSYGJ4

Matt has definately got his moves sorted for Uprising :LOL::happy:

Guys, guys, news just in - Sommer is in for our Shadows and maybe karaoke session on Feb 27. This is turning into an epic moa gathering. :awesome:

Oh sweet! :D

We went to see Avatar last night, got there and went to pay for the tickets and my brother had booked for the wrong night, so we came home again. FAIL.
I can't wait to see it!

District 9 :D and The Hangover :LOL:

I loved District 9!
I still haven't seen the hangover and it drives me crazy because all my friends quote it and think it't the best movie ever and I haven't seen it yet!!!!

Got loads of shopping done today, just have one more thing to pick up tomorrow, and I am feeling much better now so can relax a bit!
Wrapped all my pressies today too and put pretty coloured bows on them all and stuck them under the tree! Love it!

That is way cool!
Me and my friends tried to make a band when we were 12, we were called 'Poision Ivy' and I can remember all the words to our song! We were slightly stuck by the small fact that none of us played an instrument, and none of us could sing! :D

What were the lyrics! :LOL:

District 9 :D and The Hangover :LOL:

The first half of District 9 terrified me :stunned:

:LOL:
Good to see Kitty nominated for unsung Muser!

wat. :stunned: I have not seen this.

Today went uber lame. My mum and I went around to visit family and drop off presents. I don't even know why I went because I knew it was going to be lame but mum pulled the old its Christmas and you need to see family card. The first two groups we went to see were okay, if a bit boring. Then we went around to my other uncles' and I drove off to have a look around Devonport while they chatted. It went well until after dinner when my mum and my uncle started talking about the Copenhagen thing that went on recently, and it started to devolve into an argument. Mum got all uppity about some of my uncle's phrasing because she has a major victim complex, and he called her stupid and ignorant. To be honest, he was quite on the money with a lot of the things he was saying. Anyway, they ended up yelling at each other, his partner was sitting there totally awkwardly, I started crying... shit got out of hand. When we were driving back to the city mum was chewing my ear off about whats going on with my uncle and how he is and all this shit that I didn't care about but she always insists I need to know. Because she doesn't have any friends to tell it to imo. NO WONDER I'M HAVING TENSION HEADACHES WHEN YOU CAN'T TAKE MY MOTHER ANYWHERE :mad: It sucked. I didn't want mum to use my upsetness as something to hold against my uncle later either, like to be all 'ah you made her cry, look how bad you are'. Even though that uncle is kind of annoying. Because I was really upset because the fighting reminded me of my parents getting divorced, which reminds me how much I miss my dad, which reminds me how much I hate living at home. And also during the day they were making all these jokes about my nana being evil, because she can be really demanding and distrustful with her house and stuff, like to a silly level. But regardless I was totally standing there like *awkward smile* the whole time. The whole visit to them was shit.

Then we went to Franklin Road :LOL:

Just because you had such a shit day, I will recite the words to our amazing 12 year old song....

ARRRGH.... Poison Ivy yeah that's our name.
If you wanna fight then we're all game,
A sting of poison here and a drop of blood there,
A cry of help here and a happy scream there.

'Cos we're Poison Ivy, poison to the bone,
Whatever you do, don't pick up the phone.
We're Poison Ivy bad girls are us, you'd better be aware
or we'll kick up a fuss,
We're Poison Ivy run and tell your Mummy,
We're Poison Ivy and We're not coming home.

Our Posion is our love, just like a white dove,
if we don't sting then we don't sing.
'Cos we're Poison Ivy run and tell your Mummy,

We're Posion Ivy and WE'RE NOT COMING HOME!!

Man it's even worse than I thought, seeing it typed makes it so much worse.

kitty have you looked into the unemployment benefit student hardship? you don't have to neccesarily qualify for the student allowance to be eligible.

No I haven't, but that is an excellent idea. Uncle's partner today asked mum if she was going to go on unemployment benefit. I knew I wasn't the only one thinking it!

Lol it is a bit intense, I got out my old book and the other songs were just as bad if not worse! I was quite the melodramatic!! Truly cringe worthy, but I keep it, because it's funny, and reminds me that I have definitely got cooler as I got older, ahahahhaha!

There's all these cross outs over my friend's lyrics where I have put in bigger more descriptive words, ahahha, what a bitch!

How was Franklin Road? I've heard it's not as impressive this year?

:LOL: we will be the judge of that!

It was pretty good. Lots of lights and things so that was nice. We went quite a bit later, maybe 10pm-ish. There were heaps of people and traffic was blocked up for ages. It was good though, and we walked so we didn't get too much stuck in traffic. There were people singing and stuff too which is always merry.

The Hangover was good, as it does have a lot of good one liners. I bought it since it wasn't too expensive, 16 bucks at jb-hifi.

Argh, fuck, fuck, fuck. Bit of a rant coming up.
I have my second really bad cold of the month. It's bloody December, it's just not right! And on Sunday I spent 5 hours at work on the most awful TV show I have ever seen - the US version of I'm a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here. I had 5 minutes left of the show to do, and I was hoping to get it done quickly today then have something better to do afterwards. But I didn't notice that instead of clicking open file, I clicked new file, or that instead of saying 'do you want to back it up?' it said 'there's already a file called that. Do you want to overwite it?'

:facepalm:

So, to quote Muse, "let's start oooover AGAIINNN."

And I don't want anyone at work to know I've been this careless and stupid, so I'll stay super late to get through everything I was meant to do today.

Ah well.

How's everyone else's day going? Hope the gingerbread men turn out well, Kat!

Oh fuck! Fuck man that sucks. I'm just finally getting over this cold, I don't want another! Hope yours goes away fast. All I can say is, Codral, codral, codral, Otrivin.:)

Man hope it doesn't take too long to redo it!

My ginger bread men taste great, but don't look so hot. More like Gingerbread aliens.
A couple lost their arms and things, and then I iced them in green which made it worse, and probably doesn't help that I put boobs on one........

You can have one if you like, there's one with a pony tail that looks quite nice, and I'm sure you could taste the gingery ness through your cold AND ginger is good for your sinuses!

Bugger :( Staying up late won't help with the cold, but good luck with getting it done swiftly!

My day has been fine thanks. Visited my gran, then did some last xmas and grocery shopping. I have two of my xmas presents now as I wanted some charms for my bracelet and thought we better get the jewellers to put them on it. I got a kiwi and a fantail :happy: They didn't put the fantail on in the right place though, so wasn't much point in getting them to do it as it's not that hard, oh well :rolleyes:

Yay! Sounds awesome! And so totally perfect for you! Are they silver or gold? Or something else!

As long as they taste good, that's what matters. But gingerbread aliens sounds pretty cool. I think I will be tempted too make some but I hope our old gingerbread man cutter is still in the draw.

I feel so Christmassy today, went with Mum and got all the Christmas food shopping done, got the last few presents I needed for my friends and then we ended up getting a fibreoptic christmas tree!!!!!
It's so pretty! We have a real tree up already but this one was half price and a really good deal so we got it for next year and have put it up in our hallway.

The fibre optic trees I have seen look silly, I've seen the black ones too and I never liked them til I saw this one. It's tree coloured and actually looks quite realistic, but it's so huge! It's 2.4 metres tall which is the height of our ceiling! Hahah.

I don't think that would be stupid. We're all thinking about doing something like that - possibly all wearing the same thing!

You know what I hate? Sad music on news stories. Like this one tonight, an interview with a tsunami survivor. Oh wait, we're meant to be sad that people died in a tsunami? I so would not have known how to react to this if the music hadn't been there.

It is easy to get to the bdo from the cbd isnt it?? i have never been to an event like this in my life lol how lame is that, I have accom in cbd just now need to figure which is better train or bus out to there and i aim to get there early as.
all i need to hope is that i have enought work to earn the money to keep me sustain other wise i wont be able to go and god help anyone that stops me from going... i might just murder someone.... i wouldnt want to because the news might blame muse for it

Cool. If you're wanting to go by train, it's the Southern line you're looking for, and get off at Penrose.

But there are heaps and heaps of extra buses to Mt Smart Stadium on the BDO day that won't be on that website timetable. It might just be easiest to walk up to Real Groovy.

walking up to real groovy..... i could do that but kinda wanna conserve the precious energy for when muse comes out ;) how many songs are they going to do i have never been out to the bdo so i dont know what to expect

And the accom i am going to is closest to britomart and the wharf so might catch the train

Fair enough.

Muse will get 90 minutes, so probably about 15-16 songs. :)

If there are other bands you want to see earlier in the day, they'll probably play for about 50 minutes.

i thought it was video but i don't have many video codecs so i assumed it didn't work. not that i tried after the half hour it took to download.

i've been drinking weird german beer - quite sweet. managed to be good and stop and played a game of trival pursuit. couldn't stop laughing over the question "why are camel haired paint brushes named that?" My sister said "Because they are made from camel hair" and the answer was that Mr Camel invented them. :LOL: Probably not so funny if you weren't there.

Maybe that's why it doesn't work for me. It didn't take that long to download either or I would have given up.

Hahahha I think your sister's logic makes more sense than the real answer!

I just had one shandy with my uncles home brew lager. There was some sherry in the triffle, but not really enough to taste.

Yeah I figured I must need something else to play it. Will ask my brother to put something on.

Ooh, chocolate and cherry sounds delish. My maple syrup and walnut icecream was a hit yesterday, just about the whole container had gone.

I just had one shandy with my uncles home brew lager. There was some sherry in the triffle, but not really enough to taste.

Oh dear :chuckle:

Home brew?? Wow, awesome! :) I put enough sherry in the trifle to just taste it, but not enough to overpower it. I was so impressed, it tasted amazing and for once it actually looked like it could be in a book. Yay I found my dessert forte!:)

Off to the birthday party now!

Use VLC Player for playing the video, it will play most formats without needing to install additional codecs, it's also very lightweight and free.

i don't have quicktime as it used to fuck up my old laptop and its so annoying. and you can't even download it by itself anymore, has to come bundled with itunes.

I'm guessing you don't have itunes then either...? :chuckle:

Oh okay.

I got a call this morning from a pet store that I applied to in Mt Eden. The lady seemed interested, despite the fact that I had literally just woken up (I'd thought my phone ringing was my alarm!) and was kind of slow on the uptake in answering her question.
But then she was like "it all sounds very good... but oh, I just looked at your cover letter (hey look, those things do have a use after all) and it says you want to have summer work."
Me: "Well, with work extending into the New Year"
Her: "I'm looking for someone able to work February to December, both weekend days."
Me: "Oh..."
Her: "Okay well thanks for your time!"

It was very disappointing. I'm flattered that my CV is so outstanding that you want to hire me before even finishing it, but don't wave a job in front of me and then pull it away! She didn't even give me a chance to discuss the timetabling. Although she did say that it looked like I was going to be "the next Tarantino", because my CV is full of film and tv stuff :LOL:

i somehow got a second interview for when i was back in NZ.

Ha, now that is pretty impressive! Though I think being drunk on a train sounds like a bad idea all round! :D

I don't know, I mean it wouldn't have been ideal, but she didn't even tell me the times or anything. She was just like 'yeah sorry about that, bye!'. I barely had a chance to say 'call me if anything changes' :stunned:
Probably didn't help that I had just woken up. When she said 'why do you want to work at this pet store?' my response was something like 'well, I like animals... and... I like caring for animals... and um... I volunteered at the SPCA for a while... so I'd like to help people care for their animals...' Usually I'm a fast thinker but I was caught out on that one!

No clashes for me! :D I'll be going to the main stage after The Veils finish at 5:45. With the Powderfinger-watchers about to leave, that should be a decent time to commence my sneak forward in the D.

Luckily there are no Scribe-ishly bad acts on the main stage between that time and Muse - Dizzee Rascal, Lily Allen and The Mars Volta. I'm happy with that.

My one concern with that BDO timetable is that Muse are only listed as an 80-minute set. That's not fair! :mad: They'll probably run a bit over time though and do an encore, etc.
