Burncity Baby

The last few times I have ventured into the city and done a wander around I got to say I love it! Usually I only end up in there when I am off to a gig/exhibition/show etc, never to just hang out and check whats going down in my home town. Going back 10 years, wagging school and jumping on a train into the city was just how you rolled. I knew things a lot better back then. Now I don’t know where anything is except the places I frequent.

Last night before heading to see Girl Talk (read about that here) Prem and I hung out in Fad Gallery while we waited for Tess. I have been to Eurotrash next door a few times but had never really noticed the Fad. I’m so glad to be introduced to it now. I loved the random furniture pieces and the art covering the walls. I enjoyed the casualness of the place, the owner/staff hanging out with mates. It made me think of ‘Cheers’.

It was also fantastic to be able to catch up and be able to hear. It makes conversations so much easier when you don’t have to yell “What?” constantly. We were there pretty early on a wednesday night so I wouldn’t mind checking out what it’s like on a friday or saturday.

Going here and seeing somewhere new made me want to find new places to check out and visit. So I think a good goal for 2010 is to do exactly that. I’m not travelling anytime soon, but there is no reason why I can’t play tourist. If you know of any places that are worth a looksee let me know. I can try to get to know Melbourne a bit better.

For christmas I was given a necklace with 3 N’s on it. It isn’t the sort of thing I would get myself but I have been wearing it ever since. Well last week I decided that if I am going to be wearing the 3 N’s they should be representing; so I asked 3 friends to each give me a word beginning with N that described me.

Narcissistic
inordinate fascination with oneself; excessive self-love; vanity.
I’m a blog owner. There is bound to be a little narcism. A little self love is good, if you don’t think you’re a bit of alright why the hell would anyone else hey?

Nice
pleasing; agreeable; delightful
I am down with being nice. Nothing bad about it.

Neurotic
of, pertaining to, or characteristic of neurosis.
Wow there was no thought about this. No sooner had the question been uttered, the word neurotic was heard loud and clear. I didn’t actually think I was that neurotic. Apparantly not the case….

Take a few random searches mix them together and you’ve got yourself a spiffy album cover.
Shrimp Salad Circus provides the guidelines for this fun time wasting entertainment.

ACT I can rock that shit. Check it this be my lead single…

And with a tremendous thud I snap back to reality…“Oh there goes gravity,Oh, there goes Rabbit, he choked……..”
