okkervil river rocked out more than i expected. real small crowd. prolly like 200 or 300 people. again i could not drink because i drove there and i was alone. i met my pal from school, tim, there though. saw a few other familiar faces from school. what an indie hive the arts faculty at my school is.

this is prolly the last gig that i will go to in perth. it saddens me greatly as i learned recently that the new pornographers, modest mouse and pete yorn among others are coming to perth in the near future. it will be a hard step to take onto the plane home knowing i will miss these gigs. but it does make it a bit easier knowing that when i come back my cousin's stomp gigs will be on.

local music here i come.

yesterday was my first kind of free day as a graduate. i spent it looking for soil around the neighbourhood to fill my pot and planted some basil seeds. if all goes well, it will be fully grown around the time i leave.

there go the holidays.

well, technically i'm still on holiday since i'm done with uni. but still today is the first day of school.

so, my mother left perth yesterday. i think she had a nice time here. many, many photos but i don't think i'll post them up.



went to the death cab gig while mother was here. chatted with this fella while i was there. well, he came to talk to me cos i was all by my lonesome self. he just wanted to promote his own band in some semi-final of some band competition really. death cab were good. ben gibbard wouldn't keep still though and kept swaying to and fro which resulted in shit photos. well, i wasn't very close anyway.

there goes uni life.

the fruit juice, which expires in 2007, has by itself somehow become carbonated and cider-like. most interesting. and also, tasty.

i hope it has no detrimental effects upon my well-being.

last saturday was free comix day and we scored these two comix. i picked justice league not knowing it would be of the cartoon. oh well. by the way, superman, do you only know one damn pose. god knows if batman's got the same stance going on in the justice league cover too.



and today i scored this for myself. hellz yeah gonna check them emo boys out after this sem ends.
