SoooOOOoooOO ThhhHHEeeE lessonwecanlearn
Good afternoon sweet bitches, it is my solemn duty (pronounced "dootea") to inform you that I'm about a s back online as it's reasonably possible to be, albeit on a somewhat shoddy virgin ADSL connection. But soft, that still means I can play guild wars (ding 14 ftw) and watch deep space 9 dvds. Well, I could do that anyway. The second one that is. But it's worth mentioning again because DEEP SPACE NINE IS TEH WIN. If you don't believe me, take a look at this:
What a cool bastard. Almost as cool as Goren. GOREN ftuwbtw!
So wise, so manly. But anyway, I've been trying to find a job. THIS IS MUCH MORE ANNOYING THAN IT SOUNDS. It's hard and thus far rewarding work for which you do not get paid! And you have to write CVs. I HATE THOSE THINGS. So I'm off to redo mine and hopefully the odeon will give me something. I can't believe I just said that. Look how low we've come.
Coming up in a future blog: my room ftq-w! (for the quasi-win) ftb!

Mardi Gras came & went
Well this time I have an excuse for scanty updates! There's no internet in my new house! Apart from that it's really really nice though, and hopefully the internet will be on in a week or so, so it's all good. Meanwhile I invite you to chillax, sit back, and wait until i'm back ONLINE. I can't type a more TERRENCE update because this is a public computer cluster and I fear for my virginity. BYE

Activate Sonic Shower
Its the tendancy of blogs these days, in my circles at least to update less frequently. Now why is this? Is it because my life is getting less interesting, I am getting less interested in my life, YOU are getting less interested in my life, blogging is going out of fashion, fashion is going out of blogging... who knows? ALl that can be known is that I too am updating increasingly less frequently. But I reject absolutely any assertion that this journal is on some kind of slippery slope. Here at FaceOmeter we've been updating this site and its predecessor for over a year and a half and we have NO intention of stopping - I don't believe the wind-down has effected the overall quality of posts so much as removed the percieved nessecity of "for the sake of it ones". So, that was worth saying.
Anyway since we're being all "serious", "no one will comment on this entry" tonight... FaceOmeter updates! I'm interested in plugging in some electric guitars after the recent spate of songwriting that resulted in 'Third Single' and 'The Other One I Haven't Named Yet'. I feel a bit 'acoustic anthem'd out' so whilst I have an idea for a Jeff Lewis-y narrative song about radiohead (more introspective than factual but ill keep said idea under my hat for now) and have an interest in writing some "softer shit" more along the lines of 'Everybody's Alright', I'm gonna get the tele out tomorrow and see what happens. And in the spirit of the posts I no longer tend to make, tomorrow's tasks also include reading, housesitting for parkes, and sorting out the internet for the new house. WOOT.

omgzor
Many of you will (not) have been wondering why I haven't posted for a few days. THIS IS WHY
Anton Beauxleigh is a man with a plan! That plan is to dye ALL his armour ginger. but ginger dye is expensive so for now he must be content only with his shirt! HE IS AN ELEMENTALIST MONK, which means he has TEH MAGICS and TEH HEALING. He is currently level 8 but I plan to have him on 9 before the evening is out!
here we see that he has a lighter side as he dances in celebration of a mission well completed with a temporary team-mate NECROMANCER. the duo completed the mission after being abandoned by the other two guys by running away from loads of Charr very very quickly! Ownzor'd!
he also has a sweeter side. here we see him flirting with guildmate Billie. She's a bit of alright! She's also Ruari of course.
RUARI

Blogwars 37: The Revenge of the Skipper
This rebuttal to skipper's last comes a trifle late, because I have been exploring the wilds of interior BC in a lincoln town car that went far but not too far because of it's small mile-to-the-gallon number or whatever it is that governs these things. Up north of Whistler a wizard stopped us in our tracks, said he could give us all we wanted if we cleaned up all our acts. Said that Everyone Loves Raymond had a show after it aired where it was analysed by fundamentalists who only cared for trite religious sentiment which he said was not the point, said Romano tells his jokes for many reasons but prolly not to annoint some kind of gross moral ideal, or at least's the way he spoke - but then he added "still it's fair play cos it's not like they're good jokes, I mean if you happen to be of italian origin living in new york then it's probably fairly funny but honey, good comedy talks not just from the heart but also the bile duct, a mixture of the two - and whilst it has good ratings, i don't see it there. do you?"
Peturbéd much by's talkings, I answered boldly "Yes. Why should we sit around to watch TV and feel depressed? Because that's all you ever do these days with violence and adverts getting in the way and it seems to me it's the way it goes that star trek's taught me more about ethics than plato but you should give us a chance man, you really should, because out of all our native chaos can come something good - i mean, it doesn't happen often; we fuck up, we make mistakes, but sometimes we get through them and build us something great. And im not saying its paradise but don't go giving us your powers, cos these may be weird lives we live but, whatever you say, they're ours"

you! bring me the wall street journal. you two! fight to the death
quick update to give you some open micage. this one was at Bean Around The World in Deep Cove and I played
'Hazy Recollection (Local Election)', 'Apparently there's a Quasar in Torquay', 'Californian Styled'
It was rubbish! Nice venue though. I'd totally have done the waitress! I'm kidding of course. OR AM I? Oh, then I came home and watched SKY CAPTAIN AND THE WORLD OF TOMORROW.
That was an amazing film. See it if you haven't. I'd totally have done angelina jolie! I'm kidding of course.

Sweet Home... Birmingham?!
The Raven again for more opened microphone. THE SET WAS:
'Third Single', 'It's like being Behind Enemy Lines', 'The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air'
Massive thanks to Kevin and Erin and their band for backing me up on the fresh prince and 'Californian Styled' last week as well, those guys sure do know how to rock! Seriously they were fantastic and caught on to my (admittedly very simple) melodies in no time at all. Peace and love to you both.
I also made a li'l CD which shifted a couple of copies at the event: it was called "If Esperanza gets to a country with no extradition charges..." and because I can't get at the main site yet I'll leave the tracklist here in case you happened to get one of the ones I couldn't be bothered to write it on:
1. Lauren (Demo)
2. Everybody's Alright
3. Californian Styled
The first two, of course, featuring Max Jones. The man, the legend.
OK all this obviously be on the main site later so i'll leave you with a priceless shot of me relishing the final moments of "all good things", the greatest TNG episode ever. Props to vinoir for that one!

me: WHAT I ASK YOU?
woman: how about we rescue him? hang on, let me change into a slightly tighter top
old man: yeah go and do that, i'll sit here being a scientist
the other man: you're a scientist? wow that's totally unconvincing
me: godammit if i don't see some fighting or some nudity soon there's gonna be trouble
