I want to find some new music, but there is just too much. I want to clean up my room, but I'm too lazy and the task is too daunting. I want to take control of my life and make it my own, but it's easier to have it run it's course by itself. I wanted to do something tonight and I can't think what it was. I'm taping Gurge. I'm reading my TaxPack. But there was something else.

I want my guitar back. I want my photos back. I want to remove some clutter...

Being nervous is one of the most horrible feelings in the world. It's far worse when you're the event you are nervous about is a "bad thing". Like a job interview. Or a wedding. This is as intense as the feeling I had before Walken's first gig, but that feeling was good... this is ultra nasty.

Funky music (band) news site (USA) covering a lot of popular music from Regurgitator to System Of A Down to Tori Amos. Via Regurgitator's official site. Regurgitator are band of the month at Silent Uproar this month.

And don't forget, Regurgitator Live At The Wireless tonite at 9pm. It's live live from a venue in Sydney! Time to set up the minidisc again.

Dear Diary : Friday night I went to see Cyberworld 3D at IMAX with my girlfriend and her housemates. It was incredibly pretty but otherwise extreamly lame and bathed in "not-worth-itness". There were some amazing floating city images from a short "Tonight's Performance" (REZN8) which was cruely cut short by the lame "bugs" storyline throughout. This short is definitely worth hunting down.

Saturday consisted of driving Katie to work, driving to St. Kilda only to get lost in the rabbit warren of one-way and dead-end streets for forty minutes trying to find HotHouse studios which ended up being easy to find, if I'd only turned left instead of right. For a brief moment I hated St. Kilda with a passion, but now I blame my over reliance on cars instead of getting off my arse to walk. Heath and I had lunch in a burger place on Akland street. Good Mexican burgers. Mess central.

Of note, Walken has decided on Hothouse for thier first CD (Glory/Lucy). Very friendly, very laid back, good equipment, good experience. All good! Two days in October are pencilled in. Meanwhile we'll be demoing what other songs we have in a simple form to get everything down on tape. Enthused again.

Saturday arvo was spent picking up my Tool "Salival" DVD boxset at JB, then wanding off to Dave's place for a stroll around Brunswick pubs and eateries. The Napier is great, if a little cramped, Coopers on tap, wood interier, dodgy old pool table and footy crap everywhere. The "Labour In Vain" on Brunswick street is worth a look if only for the house dark ale and oldschool Mario Bros machine in the back corner.

And while I'm at it, I recommend chocolate-chilli icecream should you ever get the chance, even in the freezing cold.

We end the night crashed out on Dave's floor having drunk Gin and Tonics while watching 80's Madonna wale.

Waking up earlyish to wander off to the city for breakfast in "Fast Eddies" (fast my arse), making it just in time to see "Pokemon 3 - The Movie" at Village on Burke Street. Why is it kids movies are looking so much better than "adult" movies these days. Maybe it's that they feel less of a need to insert swearing, sex and violence at random spots throughout to keep your interest. They just stick with "violence without blood". Cats And Dogs looks good as does the Harry Potter movie.

Walked off through parks and backstreets in South Melbourne in the afternoon, ending up back at Dave's around 3, heading on back to Katie's around five, only to be instantly invited to dinner at Katie's parents.

One of the fullest and most relaxing weekends I've had for a while.

I took a few photos using my dodgy snail-cam and now have to wait for photos to be developed. Lame. I want a digital camera and all the instantaniousness that such technology involves.
