I just remembered, the new show is cast, and Im in the... cast. It's Oliver, which I know not much about, but there is a cast list including show dates on Glenn's blog. Check it out here.
That little one with the red balloon...
...make her stop killing me with her mind.
Hello avid reader of the derisive comments made hereupon, I wish to share with you a little story. In this story there is a man, let us call him Mordred, and a friend of his, whom we shall call Sven. Now Mordred and Sven went out to Crewn Casino in Melbune, parked on level 3, and went to see a movie. The movie was Prince Caspian, which Mordred was looking forward to with some interest and slight trepidation. They got the tickets and went into the cinema, but during the previews the preview stopped. The lights un-dimmed and the screen went blank. They waited. After a while the preview came back on (for that new movie where Jackie Chan and Let Li are in the same movie together for the first time ever) and they watched it... until it turned off seventeen seconds later. This happened a third time before a woman came out and told them that the projector was misbehaving and could they just hang on ten minutes. Twenty minutes later the preview came back on. And then it finished. An add started, then died.... Apparently the projector was a little bit more dead than they thought. So we... I mean they got a refund and two "we-screwed-up" tickets EACH and I figure that was a cool way to "earn" 30 dollars worth of movies...
While those two people who are not in any way representative of me and a friend of mine were at the cinemas, Mordred noticed that a new Mummy movie is coming out. You know, The Mummy (with brendan fraser but who cares cause "jonathan", the funny brother, is so much more awesome), The Mummy Returns (with jonathan), The Scorpion King (lets ignore what we said about him in the last movie and make this one... WTF it's barely connected), and now The Mummy Tomb Of The Dragon Empire (with jonathan but probably not including the mummy, which is odd, but at least Brendan is back so it really feels like part of the franchise unlike TSK which didnt). No idea what its like or what its about, but its got Jonathan, and its about the Mummy Crew, so im gonna see it in cinemas, just like the others!
Well, the story continues that M&S went to the lift and pressed level 4. Level four was too crowded to be where they had parked, so they went up a level, thinking it would get less crowded as they went up, which it did. The only problem was they couldnt find the car. Mordred careened round level 5 while Sven went to 4 to check it out, but no car. They then decided to call for security for help (Mordred feared they had taken his car for retribution of not paying the $6 entrance fee upon entering, promising to return from the ATM with the money [at an unspecified time] and pay the fee before exiting). Sven went off looking for the car while Mordred waited for security. After a while he recieved a call from Sven who noted that the car was exactly where they thought it had been parked, just a few levels down on 3. Sven called security and told them and they said it was fine. Meanwhile, Mordred walked to the lift to join Sven and passed the security Guard who had been sent out to find someone looking for their car. Because Mordred was walking purposefully towards the lift the guard didnt stop him, and it was only when he turned and saw the guard looking about for "the person" that he realised the poor man was looking for the bloke in the lift behind him. Whoops.
I do like crown.
TTFN, See you when I do so.

Proffessor T, I think I broke your poem
The Road goes ever on and on, down from the door where it began,
Now far ahead the Road has gone, and I must follow, if I can,
Pursuing it with weary feet, until it joins some larger way,
Where many paths and errands meet.
And whither then? I cannot say.
This Path I tread is darker yet, than any Road I've trod upon,
The doors are ashes at my feet, and more will follow yet, anon,
Pursuing it with some regret, for on the path are visions fell,
Some Darkness I hope ne’er to meet.
And whither then? I shall not tell.
Now far ahead the Road has gone, and I must follow, if I can,

Mitternacht
Well, Here I am again just a day later! Oh my Jolly Goodness! To be Frank, or Jude, with you dear reader I started the previous post some time previous to posting it. Unfortunately I didn't get around to actually posting the post so it sat there unfinished and unposted. Oh noes.
I was looking at a previous post from Tyre-day, December 11th, '07 (yes, that long ago) called Bears on a Submarine and it had this to say:
"Holy Chamomile-Tea Batman! It's been forever and a day since last we heard from MT!"
"Well, boy wonder, he is kinda busy, what with the being stuck in "The Bee" still with no way to contact the outside world."
"But Batman, doesn't he have a car, and money, and is soon moving up to Me!bourne?"
"You would think that, but no. He is in-fact broke, in debt (but soon to be out of it), his car's killing itself andMelbourne is odd. It's happening, he's just not too sure of the time frame. Not sure when it's happening."
"Wow Batman, you really are great!"
Focus should really be paid to this bit, which I shall reiterate:
He is in-fact broke, in debt (but soon to be out of it), his car's killing itself andMelbourne is odd. It's happening, he's just not too sure of the time frame. Not sure when it's happening.
Which I find hilarious because it is only now that this sentence becomes relevant. I am only now out of debt (almost completely, theres a $50 fine floating around somewhere I need to look up), only now back at work and earning less than a pittance, my car is that little bit closer to death having moved a whole two steps further towards death (one of which I blame on Centrelink) and I am only Now thinking of getting out of wherever I am and into melbourne.
After hating my job so thoroughly in a previous post, I have now got it back... kinda. I am working at the same store but in a different section, so I don't have to deal with the moron and his idiot co-morons who plagued my life so completely back then. Sadly I don't get many shifts. *sigh* but Dr Who season 4 is awesome! Yay?!
I have recently been telling people of a story that has come into my head of the way my father used to wake me up and continues to wake others up in the household. Instead of shaking you, or doing the water on the face dripping thing to get you up, he would wake up and as he passed your room turn on the lights then later, if you were still in bed, would grab Purr (our cat) and drop her on your face, claws out. It woke you up. His other favourite way was to get the Dog (a great dane x mastif) called Woof to come inside and jump on the bed... You very quickly learned to get out of bed when you heard the back door opening!
There is a group, or composer, or whatever, called E nomine. They are a trance group, german, and are better than the beer drinking "chalice" of sheep (Ram's-Stein... get it?). Das Tier in Mir and Mitternacht are my favourite songs, check them out below!
Nice? I thought so. Anywho, Radio is going and is still fun, listen in in G-Hole on thursdays 5.15pm - 6.55pm on 99.5fm. I enjoy it, even if you don't.
Gotta go wake up Steve, see you when I see you.
