So, That 1 Guy is playing next week. I was getting pretty excited since I've been looking forward to it... then I watched the new video, of That One Guy at Woodford. Now I am beside myself :)

Leah claims it would be overkill to go to both nights...

Thanks to Belegdel for the gummy bears! ...Leah for the Eclipse! ...and Niina for the tip on where to find the Tic Tacs and Mentos! :)

OMFG! OH NOES! I'm out of cinnamon tic tacs and haven't a new dealerlolly shop here in Sydney!

Will have to try the British Lolly Shop on the way home, apparently they stock american stuff too - mmm, logical.

Plus, I need a haircut and haven't found a new hairdresser (you'd think it would be easy to find someone who can cut straight without charging like a motherfucker, but no....).

Such are the crises of moving interstate.

Update: crisis over :)

Pyrmont, near Darling Harbour.

• Boing Boing: Air Force weapon makes your face feel like it's melting. America: a country willing to spend $40million learning how to make you scream in 3 seconds, but also willing to invade another country using torture as an excuse. Not to mention they could have spent the money creating soma and just made rowdy crowds happy and peaceful. But no, it's three seconds to your pain threshold for the good ol' US of A.
