i can't concentrate on melody
last night we went and saw a taping of the chaser's war on everything. look for us tonight during the hillsong sketch. we're in the front row, praising the lord and waving money around. on the way home, we detoured into newtown for awesome sticky date pudding flavoured gelato.
it's very good living 15 minutes away from the city, and 10 from newtown.
this morning i was on the train and i thought i saw a girl i knew from uni. but i wasn't quite sure if it was her, so i waited til i was at work to sms her and ask if she was in sydney-town. she replied to say she was in dubbo, so my shyness/anti-social behaviour paid off. then she told me that her sister, who i was also really good friends with, had a baby a few weeks ago. holy hell. there's some people you just never imagine having kids, and she was one. maybe when her son grows up i'll tell him about when his mum got plastered at my 21st and called just about every person in the casino a cunt.
oh, and last night, because i had an hour to kill before i met chris, i went shopping. i bought cds in the first time in i don't remember how long. i got superdrag's in the valley of dying stars, the latest gersey ep, and a siouxie and the banshees singles compilation. i want buying cds to be a regular thing again. i love the rush of looking at the liner notes and putting the disc in the player for the first time.
i also picked up a little going away present for chris's sister. she's going to live in london for a while, and she's such a lovely girl. so i got her a hard cover journal. i'm not sure if she's the writer type. but i'm going to put a little message in the card that goes along with the present saying something sickly like "i'm sure someone's already given you a travel journal so you can write about all the amazing places you visit. this is for writing about how you feel when you visit all those places."
EDIT: crap i forgot to mention the coolest part! after the show, we had awkward conversation with chris taylor about how links to a copy of him on sunrise have been filling my work inbox all week. and then we talked about the magic moment at homebake last year when i got him to sign a poster saying "dear chris, i just pashed your girlfriend. love chris." he's so dreamy, even if he was a completely different colour because of stage make up. chris taylor is teh sex
