”I have three tattoos, all were done to “mark the moments” at specific times in my life - this is the best thing I think, because whenever you look at your tattoo, it shares a memory with you…it’s like…part of you. I’d also say if you’ve wanted it for 3 years then that’s long enough to want it on your skin forever right?! I mean - if it feel right and means a lot , why not? I believe...
ps.
i am so very very close to biting the bullet and getting the ‘cold rose’ tattoo on my inner forearm. i’ve wanted it for the past like… 3 years, and i feel like now is the best time for me to get it. so keen.
fuck yeah.
i finally did it!
i finally slept in.
for the first time all holidays.
brilliant.
in other news. i am getting so ancy for the australian cardinal shows to pop up over at the archives. like… in sydney i think they played ‘let us down easy’ and they, until then, had never played that live. also, from what i’ve read (and also the brisbane show i witnessed), these shows...

tonight.
i totally hate my own naivety sometimes.
some people are just not worth my concern.
so why do i try?
i don’t know.
so i’m giving up on that for a while.
werd up.
it’s far to fucking hot to blog shit now
like… 43%.
wtf?
anyways, just got home from the brisbane Cardinals gig. it was fucking sick. quick recap (more to come later, undoubtedly):
- the band were in great spirits
- graboff had space ship socks
- his evening joke was also particulaly good.
- ‘peaceful valley’ gave me a massive boner, so sorry to anyone standing in...
essentials.
a pair of jeans. couple of tshirts. book. ipod. camera. glasses.
for brisbane.
ps. i wish i could just skip the flight. they are too long.
PS. jules, i will let you know about the gig, for sure. i probably won’t be able to shut up about it after. i’ve heard (read) the band were in especially good spirits the other night, so here’s hoping for some peaceful vibes on the plateau...
peace out
within the next… 4 days, i’m seeing:
The Cardinals
Neil Young
My Morning Jacket
in 40 degree heat.
so good yet so bad.
night.
hottest 100 = wtf?
this years hottest 100 was pretty shithouse.
like… none of my songs made it in.
and with a list such as the following:
My Morning Jacket - Highly Suspicious
Oasis - Shock Of Lightning
She & Him - Why Do You Let Me Stay Here?
The Butterfly Effect - Final Conversation
Death Cab For Cutie (x2) - Cath… AND I Will Possess Your Heart
End Of Fashion - Fussy
Conor Oberst - Get...
little musings.
ephemeron:
i’m not going to fall victim to self-pity, anymore.
i think you all should do the same. it would remove so much unnecessary heft from your shoulders.
i’m starting to have very little patience for people that coast through life like they’re on a treadmill.
if you want to change, just do it. don’t just talk about it, and promise to do it the next day. do it today.
dream on!
night.
classic
brodie: my grandmother always said “why buy the cow when you get the sex for free?” t.s.: she did? brodie: all the time. of course, she became a lesbian on her 60th birthday but that’s beside the point.
i have NO creative outlet tonight.
i am home.
alone.
only the sigh of the wind and the distant drone of a television, somewhere.
and a lot of waiting.
but this is my own doing.
i wanted it this way.
even though i say that i hate to be alone, i constantly subject myself to solitude.
and this is a reflection of that.
just a post, in between some others.
bumming myself out.
i wish i could just… turn it off.
but that...

ummm… don’t sing about break-ups when you can’t hold a relationship for longer than a month. that’s not a break-up. that’s just a fuck up.

Ol' Russ Down Under
I just woke up to read that Russell Brand is heading to our beautiful country to do some shows in Sydney and Melbourne.
So keen.
Now to begin the search for someone willing to come to Melbourne to see him, and someone who doesn’t just know him as ‘that bloke from ‘forgetting sarah marshall’ and recognises him as one of the funniest, original comedians going around these...
think
fuck that.
drank too much.
thought to much.
=
whatever.
chill out and stop.
just
fucking
stop.
now!
woah.
i’m defeated tonight.
so.
sleep.
i wish i had someone to fall asleep with now.
sleep.
sleep.

ok, so my work speakers severely lack bass.
which animal collective so obviously require.
listening continues…
the plot thickens.
Speaking with FasterLouder exclusively this week ahead of his Australian tour with The Cardinals, the irrepressible Ryan Adams made it clear he’s not retiring. Last week, music media claimed Adams was quitting music after he posted a typically verbose blog lamenting he was “ready for quieter times”. The reason for his angst is Meniere’s Disease, a disorder of the inner ear that usually involves...
word up.
i found this site that has the most random rad fashion.
i think it’s just rad if you’re like… crazy? …or don’t know what sports brands are.
ha.
but whatever.
go easy today people.

“stay in the moment.”
– i actually have this written beside me all day. the only copy i have of it. it helps.
bizarre love triangle
totally wish i had like some kinda music maker whenever i listen to new order. i just end up banging on tables with pens, occasionally whacking a mars bar packet. i’m so synth pop.
it's only 11. i may be in bed soon. woah.
i was trying to get the latest episode of ‘trial and retribution’ but like… it has zilch seeds. lame. i’m going to settle for either ‘capote’ (phillip seymor hoffman is love) or ‘mallrats’ (nuff said).
ps. see ‘role models’. paul rudd is rad. but like, honestly, when does paul rudd ever fail to raise the quality of a film?
