Time passes, bodies heal, eventually the pooping stops
It’s been a long time since posts. Moments after my last rambling rant about Vietnamese interpretations of western food, I came down with likewise heinous food poisoning, which had Rach and I holed up in our hotel room until our holiday ended and we flew home.
Where we promptly relapsed, and spent another week pooping and recuperating. Really, I can’t stress how horrible food poisoning is, and especially how embarrassing it is when you realise that your food poisoning came from Oreo cookies.
I don’t want to talk about it.
What I do want to talk about is: Awesome stuff which has been happening!
Holidays with Rachgirl are awesome, we’ve resolved to do many more this year. Christmas with the parentals, sistwerp and her boys was fantastic, and relaxing, despite the fact that the stupid buggers bought Drey (who, for those who have lost count, is just over 2 years old) a drum kit. Interesting idea. The drumkit is staying at the grandparents’ house though, so they’ll have to deal with their move.
New Year party here, good. Fun people. Stunning drinks (Eddie). Awesome music (Lee). Long lost friends returning (Haj), and awesome companionship (Everyone Else).
In the intervening time I’ve been working hard, on CDMu, CDMo and O2K web stuff. CDM has been having some massive server troubles, which are hopefully on the way out now, so hopefully we can focus on writing and making the site better, rather than trying to make the support monkeys at various webhosts understand that OUR. SERVER. IS. DOWN. UNRESPONSIVE. NO. WE CAN’T RESET IT. IT’S NOT RESPONDING.
Calm down Jay. Time to watch Lasse:
To bring us up to speed with the now (because there is lots of stuff happening in the soon, so I can’t spend too much time rehashing the then):
I just spent the evening with the charming Bobby Flynn, who came over and chatted and enjoyed dinner with the gang, and I must say is a poet and a gentleman. Not a rude evil fucker like on the telly… It turns out that I’ll be joining Bobby’s merry band “Bobby Flynn and the Omega III” as visualist/VJ. We’re not quite certain what will be happening yet, but I’m guessing it will be along the lines of projected moving images accompanying music and singing. It’s all pretty exciting! There has been talk of a national tour and world domination and some kind of performance art involving pygmy eskimo hamster gymnastics, but we’ll get past the gig on Saturday first.
Yes. Very late notice, but I shall be playing my first gig with Bobby at the Cremorne Theatre on Saturday night. I’m going to check out a practice tomorrow to have a listen to what’s being played, so rest assured that it’ll be an extremely professional, polished performance. Supported by Chris Pickering (who I believe has been billed with Rowley before). It’s looking like it will be loads of fun. Come along if you’re free. Or if you’re not free but would prefer to be at a gig rather than somewhere else probably not as cool.
In Other News: I caved, cravenly, and bought a Wii on Ebay. It should be here soon, and I am rather excited. Rach’s christmas present finally arrived from Hong Kong. It’s beautiful.
Did I mention that my parents bought a drum kit for their 2 year old grandson’s christmas present? Stupid buggers.
