Don't know if anyone still reads this, but if you do, you should go see
"Copious" (George Dimopoulos and Johnny Zoumbolakis' band)
Cue Club
Brunswick St (near Johnston St)
Tomorrow night, 8:30ish
These guys sound amazing when they're just mucking around, so this gig should be awesome. Various forces are conspiring to keep me away, but I'll be there if it is at all humanly possible, and you should too.

I've been talking to the other band members and I think the general consensus at this stage is: Scott's bashed. 3:30. Behind the shelter sheds.

The word for today is "Zeugma"
There are 25 kilograms of dictionary in my house. If I ever become a professional translator, I aim to have enough dictionaries to make an igloo. Igloos are made out of ice which is made out of water. Fish live in water and Eskimos live on fish. Eskimos live in igloos. Words live in dictionaries and translators live on words. Therefore translators should live in igloos made out of dictionaries made out of words.
In case you're wondering, the dictionaries include foreign-language dictionaries, dictionaries of science, language and modern thought, and various more specifically English-related dictionaries. The biggest is an old 5 kilo Webster's and the smallest is a 250 gram school French dictionary that I had to weigh on the kitchen scales because it barely registered on the bathroom ones.

You guys talk so much crap I can never tell when you're serious. So you're really doing kids' parties on the Polly Woodside?? That's cool. All you have to know is how to turn a balloon into a horse. That's what kids want adults to do, apparently.
