I'm in love. Soooooo want her for Annalease. But being a limited she is going to be exspencive. Late muse doll exclusive was $1200 US.

weird random thought...

2009-11-13T21:31:27Z

after reading my friends page i was reminded of one of my fav programs on Tripple J and relized i haven't listened to it for a very long time.

There's a comedian that dose the (saturday?) grave yard shift called Dave Callan, who plays some of the oddest music on radio. Anything from Cock rock to Richard Cheese.

I'm thinking once my black belt grading is over i might have a grave yard shift party. Chill out. have a couple of drinks. And randomly calling Dave Callan and make a few requests.

Any one interested?

Dave Callans' triple j profile....

If this dose happen i suspect it will be a great tip into the obsered.

Currnetly I'm at my parents place borrowing my mum's laptop, and notecing some diffeneces.

Mum as a rather new Toshiba, its about 6 months old and is running Vista.

The laptop I've been using at my place is dad's 3 - 4 year old HP that has my house mates 60gig hard drive in it.

guess which one works more efficiantly?

The HP.

why? because its running Ubuntoo as its operating system. At least thats what I'm thinking it is. Start up with ubuntoo is half that of vista, and internet loads 3 times faster with vurtualy no lag.

It also makes me want to learn more about computers. Anyone know where I can go to get lessons?

I know i shouldn't brag....

2009-09-27T10:51:41Z

....but i just made apple-cinnamon muffins and hey are win.

I say this because I'm not a great cook. In fact i mildly hate/fear cooking in general

But i will have to makes these again.
they are taisty.

...for every day is exsactly the same....

Nine Inch Nails - everyday is exactly the same.

I believe I can see the future
As I repeat the same routine
I think I used to have a purpose
But then again
That might have been a dream
I think I used to have a voice
Now i never make a sound
I just do what I've been told
I really don't want them to come around again

Oh, no

[Chorus]
Everyday is exactly the same
Everyday is exactly the same
There is no love here and there is no pain
Everyday is exactly the same

I can feel thier eyes are watching
In case I loose myself again
Sometimes I think I'm happy here
Sometimes, yet I still pretend
I can't remember how this got started
But I can tell you exactly how it will end

[Chorus]

I'm writing on a little piece of paper
I'm hoping someday you might find
I'll hide it behind something
They won't look behind
I am still inside here
A little bit comes bleeding through
I wish this could have been any other way
But I just don't know- I don't know what else I can do!

[Chorus]

WHile getting my sister's and dad's respective B'day presents i elected to get NIN's with teeth. Mainly for the song 'hand that feeds'. After the clean cut nature and narative of year zero (it was made with the idea of what would happen if armagedon hit), with teeth feels ...disjointed. ....not thats a bad thing. it makes me want to pick it apart more and sort though it. the one thing that i am well and truly pissed of about however is that it has no lyrics pamphlet.

Not. Happy. Jan.

one of the main reasons that i still buy cds over mp3s/downloads (leagal or not) is that you get a shiny little book of love that has all the lyrics printed out. I am extreamly good at miss hearing lyrics so the little pamphlet of love offten confirms or corects and helps me understand the song better.

so i was not happy when i opened up my sealed cd to discover that it had no pamphlet.

regardless, aside from 'hand that feeds' other tracks that stand out are 'everyday is exsactly the same' and 'only'. there's two other tracks i like but i've been listening to the cd while driving so i cant see the track list.

I was suposed to go running with my little sister this morrning at 9am. but its now 10.05am and no sings of life. oh well.

its also grand final day. GO CATS!!!

The new dojo's grand opening is tomorrow, which is very exsiting.

Work is crap. i'm doing on average around 2 hours of unpaid over time a day. which has me bolting for the train most afternoons trying to make it to training on time. and because i'm constantly rushing my bedroom looks like a bomb hit it. which is driving me nuts 'cause i don't like mess. that and we haven't passed room inspections for some thing like three months. blugh.

I'm thinking of getting a Hoo head for Sebastian. The U head is never in stock and I'm sick of waiting. I'll just have to make it work.

And Alice in Chains in the proses of make and very awasome play list as the rage guest programers, which so far gose :heart shaped box by nirvana, the pretender by the foo fighters, tribute by tenasious D and devils hair cut by beck.

enough from me.

rock on kiddies, rock on.

its been awhile....

2009-09-15T12:57:09Z

....and simitaniously there's been alot thats happened and yet nothing at all. . . .

Sensai is opening up a new Dojo at the Arena. ITs fuly matted with mirrors and heavy bags.

work is becoming increasingly crap. to talk about it now would take to long.

And i have dad's HP laptop siting on my lap as a 'semi perminet loan'.

anyway off to bed.

ROCK N ROLL BABY!!

2009-08-31T09:28:54Z

Alice Cooper, the theater of Dether show

Alice Cooper rocks underwear. seriously. He's over 60 now days and still puts all the energy into that would make men half his age envious.

The hole thing was loud, devious, mildly psycotic, rather cheesy and a little unseteling yet entertaining and fun. Delightfuly dark sence of humor dose me cooper have.

And sooooo much of his musice sounds so much better live. hearing the drumbeat going for 'Schools out' in that setting was awsome. It also gave me a better apreaciation for some of his quiter songs like 'only women blead' and 'i never cry'. Something about the coop just dosen't translate to recorings that well.

And he had some of the most fantastic jackets and hats. i want to mug him a couple of times..... wich would have not been a good idea due to hime being armed with some for of weaponry for about 40% f the time. mmmm ....sword. ...

During 'Durty diamonds' he flung necklaces into the audiance, teaseing one person in the front row by pretneding to give the necklace to them then finginging it last second to the sides. there were also ballons filled with water thown into the audience. He died 4 times, guilotie, leathtal injection, and hanging....cant remember the fourth one for some reason....

only problem, once again was tall people infront of me, and the fact that i'm short. If he tours again front row tickets all the way baby.

also cats in playing march next year. anyone interested? more details coming hopefuly by the end of the week.

4 sleeps to goooooo!!!!!!!!1

2009-08-24T10:05:59Z

Work sucks.....

but that dosen't mater....

'Cause FOUR SLEEPS TO THE ALICE COOPER CONCERT!!!!!!!

*dances*

work, you anit going to rain on this paraid. no. you. aint.

Sore Mr cooper on rove last night. SQUEEE! they should have him reading out the weather again.

"and Adliaide will have zombies and rain blood for the rest of eternaty....you might want to wear a jacket"

*chuckles*

gone with the wind...

2009-08-16T03:36:27Z

It has been extreamly windy here in Victoria with winds reaching something like 130km per hour.

It settled down only to start raining.

All of which makes hanging out the washing rather difficult.

meh. anyway the house is mostly cleaning. just have some old mx's, inpress and beat news papers to go though.

and now slowly sorting though my stuff in the sowing room and my bedroom. was thinking of changing my bedroom around. maybe i'll find my camera.

onward to washing....

Melting clocks, rubish and a moment to make Jay Jay proud....

2009-07-13T09:52:15Z

on sunday myself, Dane, Louise and Dane's mother Sonja went to the Salvidor Dahli exhibition at the NGV. It was AMAZING! Whatever you opinion of the content of his paintings, his tecnique was/is near flawless! Seriously, barly a brush stroke visable and nearly photograpic in quility.

One of the highlights of was a 7 minute animation he did with Walt Disney. Yes, Watl Disney. Aprently Dahli sore fantasia and it inspired him. Long story short Disney got cold feet. It wasnt seen again until around 2005(?). It was freaken stunning! Weried, but stunning. I NEED to find a copie somewhere.

Also Dahli worked with Alfred Hitchcock and Alice Cooper among meny other people.

there was only onedraw back....

NGV was PACKED with people making it at times imposible to veiw the art work. And concidering the exhibition filed something like five or six rooms thats a fair amount of people.

there was so much art work there that i want to go back and try and have another look. i think kiz want to come along this time.

okay now for work...

Dear people who are going to be guests in a hotel,

Our rooms have 3 rubish bins in them. please LEARN HOW TO USE THEM. This comes as i spent most of today cleaning party rooms. half of them with sofa beds. I'm starting not see much point in having the bloody bins in there. it would save me time not having to clean them...

from housekeeping

And as for something that would 'make JAy Jay proud" well your boy Hamish Blake managed to not one but three questions right in the first round of spicks and specks last wednesday. Then he got more right. as hamish said he did more in the first round then he had the last three times he had been on. it was rather spectacular.

anyway. onward to art work and kniting.

The years half way point...

2009-07-05T02:43:14Z

Its july. Could the year slow the hell down!!!

*ehem*

Currently I have a rather unpleasent cold, and a multitude of karate related injuries. One of the worst injuries is a damaged shin bone that resulted from accedenatly kicking Sempai Dean's knee as he checked said kick. IT had me rather woried. I've seen someone break their shin on Dean's knee before. But its just badly bruised, but ironicaly the brusing isn't showing up. I've dad massage it which is helping imensly, but with a major tornoment and it being a shodon year its not a good thing by anystrech of the imagination.

Celeste has a new wig! which I couln't realy afford but still I'm glad i have it. It is freaken gorgious (there will be photos). I'm a convert to Leekworld wigs. Sebastian has one too now. But no head. *snarls*

I* also have a pretty dollmore dress pattern to play with. just got find the right fabric for it.

We have a new General Manager at work. She's been driving the suporvisors nuts with all the knit picking she's doing. Alot of it I can understand, but house keeping at the moment is over worked, getting sick, vertualy no budget left and dosent have the time to get everything done that she wants. Though its seemed to be settled for the moment. Our room rates have been compleatly inconsistant and jumping alover the place going from two departures on day to 11 the next. blugh

The busness is crawling along, a glass topped table all weilded up and just needing sand blasting and a paint job, and a display stand/side table and a flower pot stand started it looks like i may eventaly get this thing off of the ground.

anyway, off to more unpacking and cleaning.

Help please!!

2009-06-08T04:30:24Z

I've been checking Dream of Doll since January but their DoC U head is STILL not in stock (or by some strange twist of fate it isn't when i'm on line...)

Dose anyone know of anyone willing to sell one? Or a Wi head?

Please please please help!

I don't have a Den of Angels account or anything so if anyone sees someone else selling one of these two heads (particuarly a U i've had my heart set on a U head) Please let me know.

I know its a lot to ask seeing as i don't really know meny people here, but i would be really greatful if some one can pass on any info.

I've also randomly tried ebay, but all i can ever find is really bright fur wigs.

I emailed Dream of Doll, but no responce as yet.

thank you to anyone who reads this.

Double thank you for anyone who can help.

Michelle

ps. Anyone know where i can get s hooks that will fit DoC hands?

ALICE COOPER TICKETS!!!!!!!! WEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!

in progress of making progress.....

2009-05-04T00:37:52Z

Okay, so just called up about five rental properties.

There's an open for inspection of one, three I'm wait for a call back, and one is aplication impending.

I also FINALY have Alice Coopers new albumn 'Along came a Spider'. I had to order it in, but it came in early. w00t! I love it. Cheesy, ass kicking, seedy rock music. muhah ha ha! I hope Kiz gets the tickets soon, or we're going to miss out. Oo! which reminds me i need to put the ticket money in his account.

Mini doll met was good, one of these days we'll actualy do more with dolls insted of getting distracted compleatly by rock band. *twerls drum stick*

I'm currently dog/house sitting at my parents place. I'm doing a little bit of cleaning. I'm thinking of taking the boys for a walk but the two of them combined would weigh more then me at the moment, and i cant walk the individualy cause the one left behind will go bat shit cazy.

oh well.

Three days off. Interesting.

the joys of pet owner ship...

2009-04-27T08:18:06Z

Na'Toth is on heat and is yowling her head off.

I've just read an artical on the subject of dealling with little miss, and aparently you cant get a cat snipped untill they come off of heat. So, in the mean time I'm going to have to try and play with her a bit more to get rid of some of her exsess energy.

the artical i read: http://www.ehow.com/how_2054778_calm-cat-heat.html

She's already kept kiz up all day (he works night shift). There's not a lot i can do about it during the day. But if I keep her in with me at night hopefuly she wont distroy the room and i wont get the other two housemates whinging at me.

Its fair enough if they do. She's a noisy little wench. At least its not her mother. my gods! when flame went on heat you knew about it.

So, two weeks from yesterday Slinky Minks will more then likly be going to the vet. Hopefuly the housemates can wait that long.

So much for spending some of that stimuslus package on actualy having fun. I miss fun.

I brace for whinging.

What am i supose to do about whinging?(if it happens)

i want a cookie.

Sorry to do this to you all......

I'm watching the news with my parents at the moment and its rather scary. Most of the state is on fire.

About ten min ago we sore fotage of a fire travel something like ten meters in about 5 seconds. The high winds are pushing all the fires past containment lines. As far as I know no one I know is near any of the fires. Thought there is one near to Ballarat. Hopefully that wont get any closer. I have a cousin that lives there.

Sydney has had fires started by an arsonist.

And Ingam in Queensland is underwater due to flooding.

Seriously crazy.

and scary.

very scary.

Take care all you fire fighters out there. The people you're saving aren't the only ones with families.

cartoons!!!!!!!

2009-02-01T10:25:35Z

i haven't liked most of the childerns programing on Australian Tv for at least five years now (maybe more). It has ranged between being pore quility to nearly vertualy non exsistant.

but then i found this:

Its called Jane and the Dragon, and is sweet (sometimes to the point of being sikening) funny (lots of puns and fart jokes) and beutifuly animated (company who dose it is Weta, who did the graphics for the Lord of the Rings movies). I'm in loe with it :D

yes, i am a neard.

say what you like.

dragons rock!

summer, you can go die now.

2009-01-31T03:31:03Z

I loath summer. I don't deal with heat well. I haven't had a decent nights sleep for most of the week. Neither has house mate Kiz, who works night shift as has to try and sleep in the middle of the day (and the midday heat). There is some thing wrong with the air con. though it still works our house last year was like a fridge and we would have to turn the hole thing of by 5pm because we were wearing jumpers. But not this year for some reason. At least its taking the edge off of it. Unfortunalty not my bed room. Thus the no sleeping. (Add 'girl time of the month' on top of that and you have me in a rather vile mood)

it was so hot at work friday that they gave up free power aide from the minni bar. I have a feeling Daisy might have brow betten them into it. I so need to get my suporvisors a present for having to deal with me on a dayly basis.

Add to that public transport woes (got to the trainstation last night to be told to find my own way home, and missed training thursday cause they canceled my train), a other peoples personal baggage and you've got one sucky ass week.

And inspite of the fact that I i drank neary 3lts of water and a bottle of power aid I still managed to get a dehydration headache and nearly pass out at training. Sempai made me sit out for five min or so. Oh, and on of the girls accidentaly kicked my in the nether regions hard enough that walking today is a tad uncomfortable.

But, it is not all tales of woe. Reject shop has cat stratching posts for $50 and $12 which I'm going to get mum to pick up for me. And i bought drawing books with my last $6.

Oh, and training has its firt fund raiser for the year. its called the Hyaku challenge. I need to raise a minumum of $100 to enter it. basicaly we're going to be doing a hundred fights over the year. The money gose towards raising funds for instructors and sudents of all ages going to nation and international events. I $50 bucks to go. 10cents a fight ends up being $10. the money dosen't have to be in right away and every little bit helps. so if anyone is interested let me know.

oh and i have a copie of Jane and the dragon. a kids cartoon that i have fallen in love with. squeeeeee!!!! i loves dragon!

okay. thats it. no more.
i need cookies...

summer, you can go die now.

2009-01-31T03:29:50Z

my other heading was something funny....

2009-01-15T11:13:18Z

welcome home care bear.

blugh, i can always think of stuff to crap on about at work but by the time i get home i'm too buggered to remember it coherently. being sleepy dosen't help.
*sigh*

11th january

and so it begins... scripts, mythos and other asorted bits for lord quake's comic. all i need to do is draw it....
12th January

yet another day of work.....then bed. how exciting...

13th january

current bookage....Garth Nix, the seventh tower sereis book five:into battle. its a short book. need to go to big W and get what i think is the last one...

14th January

new lindt chocolate... mmm taist. though for some reason i'm not overly excited about lindt's dark chocolate. not balenced enough i think. ...
15thjanuary(today as it happens to be.... or is it????)

the spot cat. we've seemed to slipped in to pattern for our 'quolity time', being that i sit in the arm chair and watch tv and he sits on the arm of the chair and purs at me. its a rather cosy arangement.

an i have just finished voting in the triple j hottest 100. mainly because i want the golden ticket. The lucky winner gets a double pass to every single triple j suported gig this year. so far the gigs i want to go to are triple j suported. i have my fingers crossed but i'm not holding my breath.

still saving for sound wave. and moving. and the world cup next year.... and a hole shit load of other things...blugh. i need to win the lotto. stupid low paying job *kicks it*

market research......sort off.... i think....

2009-01-10T11:14:13Z

9th January.....

too tired ...needed sleep...

first night back at fight training for the year. didn't do much but still was buggered...

10 January
so went to the garden markets at the Royal Botanical Gardens to see if its a viable place to sell some of my bigger steal sculptures at.

some of the metel sculpture that was there. i got a card off of the guy who makes the stuff there. so there maybe a posible avenue for me there.

gate to the gardens...

weid ass bell things. want to go back up there again maybe with some recording equipment...

i also spent too much money today on food, CD's (the esntial Alice in Chains and the fragile by NIN). Also bought a calender for celtic sabits and equinoxes. so no exsuces now :P and a rather heilarious comic called wodworm:gentalman corps.

no i'm reading house mates copie of iron man writen by Warren Ellis, art by Adi Granov. very shiny. may get a copie of my own....
