nessie huntin' eve

I realised today that not having a couple of quick-witted workmates around at the podjob has dulled my senses. I used to have to work to get the first call in. Now I'm just spinning around on my own, with a few satellite funny folk, without anyone to force my moves earlier and earlier. I think this has made me lazy.

I've been working my mothertrucking fanny hide off trying to get everything done around the podjob lately. But as of this arvo, I have one entire blissful week off. And it doesn't eaven eat into my annual leave. Which means I've somehow worked an entire week that didn't exist between May and now. I disgust myself sometimes.

So me and the flatties and their lovers and a few others off to Lake Conjola to go catch Nessie, like this guy did:

not dead

and not trying.

I've been singing with this new acoustic sort-of band, which has been particularly fun. I sing to my friends when I'm drunk, and they like it at least half of the time. That's how I met Toni- I catterwalled within his ear range at a mutual friend's house warming. He is a guitarist and the apparent ringleader. Toni is a tall Lebanese boy with long and luscious curls who writes dark and miserable poetry and wants to be referred to as Lady Godiva on stage. I find this excellent.
