Feel God Inc.

FORWARD: I am so not talking about the stuff I said I would in that last blog. At least, not while sober...

I recently looked at some crazy people and they looked back and the whole thing became rather akward I can tell you. Then the crazy people spoke. This didn't help matters. They each said one word... each. This word was "fl0w". You could hear the Zero replacing the Oh. Not a fun sound. This word filled me with a strange and not unkind desire that burned me up, consuming my vitals and a nearby ice-cream truck. Yup, this fl0w felt like a pretty powerful something, and I needed to find out what.

Turns out, everyone who is anyone knew about fl0w. The crazy guys on PAcomic know, some random dude I've never met or even spoken to knew, hell even my mum had heard of it in passing and could inform me of it with great in depth knowledge (not that she did). I felt such a fool.
Turns out that it's a game, originally internet based as far as I can tell, that was sooooooo good and so profound and prophetic and professional and prophylactic that even the dudettes at PS3 knew about it, and created a much much much prettier version with cooler graphics and music.

Suffice to say after finding all this out I damn well needed to try out this game for my onesome. So I Googled it and came up with the flash version. All of a sudden I was in another world. Here was a primal and indeed primordial experience. A kill or be killed, eat or be eaten, evolve or die out, astronaut vs caveman (who would win?) type of game. Then, as it continues, you become such a cumbersome organism that you in turn must watch out for the smaller less evolved creatures, as they begin to pose a real (and fast) threat. It becomes frantic and you forget all about the beauty of nature because that beauty can kill you. All up, it's an insane but wonderful experience and if you want to try it out I suggest you go to here. As in the link I am about to post. Good luck saving your soul. Play fl0w

Room Allocations in by Friday please...

So anyway, there has been not much of anything interesting happening these days, at least as far as I go. I went to Cabarettissimo the other other other day, or on Saturday, after pulling an all-night-um/er with some crazy movies in there, like "Dick" and "random scary c-grade horror movie". So basically Friday was an allnighter and then on Saturday I went and saw C. A. Beret and was mightily impressed I can tell you. Indeed it was so impressive my mother wet her socks (don't ask) and What?Oh! was quite impressive as the emMCee. Then came the party, which I was NOT invited to. This was the very first party I gatecrashed and as parties go, I knew at least half of the people there and they really didn't mind me being there I guess, they just ignored me unless to ask what the hell was I doing at THEIR party!!! But it was all in the name of fun, or syphillis. Whichever.

An update on the Buffy Front, for those few who care:

It shall be run at or around new-years, or some other point in time that gives people WEEKS off.
It shall run for around a week and a 1/2 possibly 2 weeks.
It shall have a timetable which hopefully will be stuck to, enabling you to come to seasns/eps you want to and miss the crappy ones.
It shall be at a venue that may or may not be in a school or uni.
It shall have ALL of Buffy including the movie.
It shall have all of Angel.
It may quite possible have All of Firefly inc. Serenity.
It may cost a tiny ammount to cover pizza and place and softdrink. $5.00 is arround what we are looking at but it shoudn't cost more. Hell, it shoudn't cost at all. In fact, we are working on making it so it doesnt cost, but some times you just can't.... Will keep you updated on that.
It shall be fantastic.

Next time: I'm gonna post a list of the people who have shown an interest in comming. Will also wax lyrical on gyrating against poles and how this can cause nerve damage and paralysis of masticating muscles... 'till then, see you when I see you.....

Walk through the fire and let it...

So I have made a promise to myself. I have decided in my infinite wisdom to hold a Buffy&Angel marathon. Yes, I have finally flipped. It came to me the other night that I wanted to sit down and watch them ALL back to back (practically) non-stop. Firstly, I feel I need to explain my addiction, as it is a 'recent' one.

When Buffy first aired I refused to watch it, basically because everyone I didn't like and who didn't like me were watching it, so it was a dislike based on principal rather than a dislike of the show. This continued right through 'till Angel had finished. Indeed it was not until I saw a preview for a movie called Serenity that I became hooked. For I watched Serenity, including the special features, and they told me that it was based on a series. I got that series (Firefly) from JB in G-Hole for $30 and watched it. While watching Firefly's special features I was horrified to find out that this BRILLIANT show and movie was made by the person who had made Buffy!! Instead of alleviating my fears with soothing words, my friends produced their copy of season 1 of Buffy and much to my horror I watched it that night and enjoyed it immensely. A long story short: I then acquired over a decent period of time ALL of Buffy (S1-7 & the movie) and ALL of Angel (S1-5, having acquired 4&5 just last week). I am currently part way through season 4 of Angel and haven't seen it all yet.

Now this is all very new and exciting for me, so I am anxious to watch it all again, as it was a hectic race through the whole thing. I think there are others out there who would like to re-watch it as it may have been a while since you saw it last. SO here's my plan:
0. Preliminary steps must be taken, like loosing some weight or starving oneself so the 55kg's we put on during this VideoFest don't affect us... :P
1. We set aside a week or so in the holidays.
2. We get together with enough Pizza, soft drink, chocolate, lollies, (alcohol?) popcorn etc. to last us all the movies. (Pizza may need to be replenished)
3. We get a large TV screen or a projector and set up the DVD player etc.
4. We watch Buffy NON STOP until we get to where it crosses over with Angel. Then, armed with a chronology sheet, watch the episodes sequentially.
OR
4. We watch Buffy NON STOP from the movie through to S7, then STRAIT AWAY watch Angel S1-5. (I probably would prefer this one.)
5. The trick is to have enough people there that we can stay hyper enough to watch THE WHOLE THING from beginning to end with only toilet breaks in between episodes.
6. Crash for the rest of the week that we took off, so as to recover.


Now I don't know how many other people would like to do this. You get to see Buffy and Angel, and you can say "I saw it ALL non-stop from start to finish GOD YEAH!!!" but not everyone wants this. Personally I think it would be a great time, so if you want to do it, give me a buzz! yeah.

"I am Joan the Vampire Slayer!"

Play that funky music, white boy.

So today I was requested into doing the most exciting of exciting jobs, assisting with AMEB music exams. Basically, the AMEB doesn't trust the students or examiners to know what the hell is going on, so they get the school/venue to produce someone whos job is to show the examiner where the exams will be, the examinee's where the practice rooms are, and then take the examinee to the examiner when the examiner is ready for them. The rest of the time I just sit and cram/study The Mikado script (which is WAY too wordy) or blog to my hearts content. Oh the joy of my undescribable agony. Indeed.

So basically I'm just killing time untill the third Pirates movie comes out on DVD as a 2-disc special edition. Can't wait to finish that quartet off and complete my collection of the sextuplet-ilogy. Good times.......(great classic hits, gold 104!!!)

Oh, I got a call from Euarro's friend. Turns out his website mussed up. That's what you get for putting your trust in wordpress. Ha! Ha I say!

Are you a friend of Euarro?

It started innocently enough. I was tired, smelt slightly of gasoline, and was being driven from Geelong to Nhill by a friend of mine (who shall remain named "Less"). Less attempted to convince me to go to sleep, and being the brilliant mind I undoubtably am, I proceded to stay awake for the next 3hours and 55mins of the car trip, only to fall asleep within 5 minutes of the house in Nhill. Of course, for the almost 4 hours of conversating that took place within the confines of the car, we met someone who neither of us had met before. This person, who we new very little about, came to being during this weekend. His visit was so brief we never even caught his name. The only thing we knew was he was friends with Euarro (which he pronounced Warro, but with a throaty W sound). He reappeared a few times in the house, but by that night he had well and truly vanished. He vanished for a while until half a week later when we were reminicing about the trip and about him. Now he wont go away. he is cropping up in important conversations, in calls to overseas family, in the car on the way home (by myself), at Mikado rehearsals and at the dinner table and he seems to still have only the title "The Friend of Euarro". There is no name or face to this crazy character. He could be french or Mexican, or even english. He professes to come from "Tasweja", the small country at the bottom of Australia (Tasmania?) but this could be a blatant fabrication. He's not a bad bloke, but he wont leave me alone. Come be friends with him and maybe, just maybe, he'll stop being friends with me (for a little while at least).
