Sex reminds her of eating spagetti
Went to see Ben Kweller play at the Gaelic Club last night. He is such a great performer and the concert was really entertaining. I was expecting him to play a lot of songs from his new album
On My Way, but was pleasantly surprised to hear lots of songs from
Sha Sha. "Walk on Me" and "Wasted and Ready" were the songs I liked the most, he and his band went off during them, and also went all 'rock star' on stage by jumping up on the drum kit and speaker. Bless 'em.
But the highlight of the night was definitely the fun I had perving on his lead guitarist, who also played the piano during a couple of songs. At first I was like
"who is this derro with a bad haircut?", then when the stage lights came on I was like
"oh, hello!". Welcome to Planet Phowar! Population:
Jason Roberts. He is a world of hot. *
giggles*
(Actually that pic doesn't do him any justice, he is much cuter in real life).
The lead singer of the support band, Evermore (I think is what they were called), was the major downer of the night. He was such a try hard and at one point looked like he was fellating the microphone. Classy.

This looks pretty funny (don't be put off by the fact that it's based in a Christian school). I wonder if it will offend some Christians as it kind of pokes fun at some of the things they do and believe in. "Is it possible that Jesus might need us to do his will by you know, not waiting?"
It'll be interesting to see Zach Braff out of his Scrubs character and in this. He wrote and directed too.
Also, I think I will pee my pants and have another freak out after seeing this.
And this article is rather amusing. Prudish much?

(This is such a sexy song. ARE DAVE MATTHEWS BAND EVER GOING TO FRICKING TOUR HERE?!)
Randomness
I have been sick for nearly two weeks, and after taking antibiotics and loading myself up on vitamins you'd think I'd be better by now. But no. My cough hasn't gone away and my stupid nose keeps running. Surely there is a limit to how much snot can be produced by one person.
Does anyone else find the NineMSN navigation bar fucked? The rollovers don't work - it doesn't line up correctly or just doesn't work at all. Even my new Producer who used to run NineMSN Production said it hasn't worked properly since launch. Way to go for a site that probably gets the most hits in Australia in a day.
This was sent around in a company wide email:
There will be someone coming around to collect money from you if you are wearing jeans and your name will be taken down if you don't make a donation and read out at next Monday's status as one of the jewiest people ever!
If I were Jewish I'd find that offensive, and that was sent by our CEO's assistant.
And in totally unrelated news, I'm going to Japan! For 16 days! At the end of this month! And in the usual Larissa fashion have left organising things to the last minute. Argh. Have to start planning things, and putting together an itinerary. Oh, and saving money so I can make the most of the shopping in Tokyo. I must find a pair of Astroboy boxer shorts or bed sheets while I'm over there. My holiday won't be complete without one or the other.
Requests for vending machine panties, and other quirky Japanese memorabilia can be made now.

Early morning adventures
7:00am: Rock up at the train station to find that a train has apparently "broken down" on my line and that there will be no trains running this morning. Assured by CityRail staff that that buses are coming to replace the trains.
7:20am: Still waiting for buses. Call work to say will be late for early meeting.
7:30am: Buses still haven't shown up.
7:45am: Still waiting.
7:55am: A CityRail bus drives past because it's already too full to take on more people.
8:00am: Another bus drives past because it too is already full.
8:05am: Another bus drives past. Full.
8:10am: A fourth fricking bus drives past and doesn't pick up anyone either because it's packed. Decide to call my dad to drive me to a station closer to the city which is on a different line that has trains running. Initially he says no but I chuck a hissy fit over the phone and he agrees.
8:30am: Traffic sucks, Dad gets annoyed that now he is late for work too because he has to drive in other direction.
8:45am: Reach other station. More waiting.
8:55am: Train arrives which is full but manage to squeeze on. Am squashed next to a very large man who's jacket smells gross and a two Asian girls.
9:15am: Little Asian girl throws up on train inbetween Redfern and Central stations. I manage to move out of the way of the projectile vomit and try very hard not to laugh at the people who have been sprayed.
9:30am: Finally arrive at work, 1.5 hours late and have missed meeting with a client.
CityRail you suck.

(Everytime I listen to Death Cab I get reminded Summer and Seth's conversation in The O.C. Seth: Don't insult Death Cab Summer: It's, like, one guitar, and a whole lot of complaining! Hee)
