Happy Halloween, everybody.

Life Is Good

Life is good.

So, November Rolls Around Again

And, as previously advertised, I'm going to be spending much of it writing a 50,000 word novel. Wish me a broken leg. Heh.

I'm not sure how this will effect my blogging output; whether it'll go completely dead, or through the roof, or stay basically the same, or grow into a (yet another) poignant and/or disturbing document of my progressive descent into total insanity, or what.

But I 'spect we'll find out!

Is it me, or is spam just getting weirder and weirder and weirder?

There needs to be a punchline here of some kind but I just... I don't know what it is.

Holy Crap You're A Cunt, Hely

Some day I will take enormous pleasure in watching you genuinely suffer, you worthless irredeemable piece of shit.

I was eventually going to come out to you with the truth anyway. Who was I to deny the Great Robert Henley as such a lonely Operative. And when he offered me something that CH (you) couldn't.. I took it.

Here is the official list of people that screwed you over (including myself.)

Robin Hely - gave orders and orchestrated everything
Midnight - played a dual identity role with you to screw you over, purposely tried to tick you off (by poor handling of admissions, etc.) in order to try and get you to quit.. RH's idea actually lol)
Chris Titan - used Herbert Finch in an attempt to break you down
Steve Cronin - fed info to RH through convos with you & CH (you)
Adren - Called your Sister under orders of RH (That's really all he did and was never really involved with any of the plotting. Adren was probably the most innocent one out of all of us.)

I don't know why I just got into this.. I never planned to write about this when i started this e-mail.

I Can't Believe

That I just wasted almost the entire afternoon installing Linux on my iPod and troubleshooting it.

What I can believe even less is that it almost feels as though it was worth the effort.

I'd include a picture, but ~ has hijacked my camera.

Actually, now that I have Linux on my iPod there is almost certainly some way of doing a screen capture.

But I'm fucked if I'm going to figure out what it is.

We Went To The Victoria Markets On Saturday

And we bought:

A cherry-flavoured cigar!

Calamari!

Three feet of San Pedro Cactus!

Aaand - thanks to an anonymous tipoff - we also acquired from this Asian grocery...

.. Red Bull concentrate!

For $2.80 a bottle, complete with nutritional information:

Sor'ed!

Scenes From A Zenarchist Coffee Ceremony

Hot Flash, Call The Papers etc

More Rushkoff linkage: In which it occurs to our protagonist that contemporary western democracy is eminently recognisable as - gasp - nothing but an elaborate con!! Who'd a thunk it?

I Went To A Soccer Match Yesterday

I actually worked at Telstradome for a period last year, but I had never been to any kind of football game before in my life.

It was pretty cool. That said, it's conceivable I only found it to be as such because I was half-tripping on mushies, something else I have never done before.

Absolutely true story: on our way to catch the tram going out, we passed a guy who tried to hit us for change. When we said no, he looked me straight in the eye and shouted "magic mushrooms!" before going back to reaming the coin dispensers on a bank of public phones.

~ assures me I was not visibly fucked up in any way at all.

Fucker.

But in retrospect... awesome!

Sculpture

~ made this for me last night; I found it sitting on my speaker upon reluctantly emerging from bed at around midday.

He's very creative.

Don't Y'all Be Looking So Smug Now

Did Lady J send you this picture?

Did she then give you permission to post said picture to your blog?

No?

Be grateful that I am so generously inclined to share.

(Sometimes.)

What I Got For My Birthday

A can of whoop-ass Hagakure style yo Easy Surface Prep

A Discombobulator of my very own

Two bottles of apparently non-lethal Red Bull concentrate

Two bottles of Arrogant Frog sauvignon blanc

Two delicious, beautifully wrapped and generally special cupcakes (not shown)

Colourful and appealing multimedia art products

A hefty biography of John Fowles, bafflingly enough

A black 30 gigabyte iPod, which was nice

A Brave New World mug

Cards & chocolate

Amongst other things.

Thanks everyone. It was great!

~'s Mother Bought A Cow

So now our freezer is full of frozen cow.

She also gave us some duck eggs.

I boiled one and had it for breakfast.

It was well tasty.

Fuck Yiz All

I Wouldn't Normally Do This Kind Of Thing

But I just sent Robert Anton Wilson $23, because Douglas Rushkoff told me to.

Fnord knows, he's fucking earned it as far as I'm concerned.

Party

It went off.

~ tried to persuade me to wear this shirt of his, but it was the wrong shirt

He also prepared a special discombobulatory mobile for the back garden

The first of my guests to arrive was none other than former operative American Guy. Sadly he didn't stay very long, but it was nice to see him again

Semi's bitch good friend T (pictured, centre), a brilliant and profoundly disturbed young man, spent the first two hours or so of his tenure focussed with laser-like intensity on the task of building us a better stereo from found objects, including my dodgy $60 DVD player

He then proceeded to introduce the company to the seductive pleasures of Russian Cocaine (shot of vodka--> lemon wedge with white sugar on one side and ground - nb not instant - coffee on the other. Try it, you will like it)

Queen Jo was very proud of her skirt, and rightly so. Disappointed I didn't get any better pictures of it

One bottle of the red bull concentrate was consumed between several individuals, albiet not under experimentally pure conditions

In other news, Desci was good enough to bring her last packet of NO bulbs. To my astonishment, neither she nor Semi had ever even heard of doing them from balloons. And to my dismay, I didn't have any. They were still great though. Nitrous Oxide, children.

After cleaning up a bit on Sunday, we went out for breakfast. But completely outrageously, there apparently isn't anywhere on Brunswick Street that does breakfast after 6pm. Huge gap in the market. We had to settle for curry
