Great thread to resuscitate!
I never got to see Motorhead.
Plasmatics
The Birthday Party
Twitch era Ministry
Front 242 (are they still going?)
The Cramps
The Famines
Stone Roses
The Divynyls

I also have a list of bands I am willing to drop everything for to see. Might have to do a thread for that

Love his clip about fossil Metasequoia

It went down a great at the potluck. Will make again.

This guy may be my perfect man. Low brow sweary field botany by someone who sounds like a Chicago gangster.

Urgh. Still traumatised by long car trips with Billy Joel's Greatest Hits for my whole childhood. For me up there in badness with John Farnham.

Haha, all those things are why I like living alone. But yeah, you have to buy your own cheese.

I've always loved punk, but I also love a whole bunch of other music too. Hence my eclectic record collection and questionable dress sense to this day...

I have never thought of you being swoopy Andy

That reassures me

God, I can't tell what is and isn't satire anymore. That's a mark of getting old right. Unlike our parents though, we decide nothing is real.

The pinnacle of human achievement is hot showers at will. And dry socks. And being warm and fed. Fuck yes.

For some reason Johnny is on my mind today

I am currently making baklava. Added whiskey to the lemon syrup

I think the pinnacle of my selling out, to my 20 year old self anyway, would be that I now drive a car. I'm not sure being a low end public servant counts- I would have been more disappointed if I'd become corporate scum. Mostly I think my 20 year old self would be impressed that I had got to 40, ha...

Getting given a sign name in NZSL class last night. My sign name is "cough" because I have had really bad asthma for the whole time the course has been running.
(Unfortunately you don't get to choose your own sign name)

Viking burger from Local 88 chippy in Ravensborne. May have gutbombed myself. A bit too much mayo and chipotle', otherwise great.

I am forever going to speculate exactly what shit drama series it was you watched.

Sure is

There is fair trade rice available. (This wasn't )

Right, attempting an actual meal for the first time in a week. Slow cooking Havoc pork cheeks with Veges, tofu and black beans- Chinese style, with basmati rice.

I have been at home sick all this week with a chest infection. Previously I have tried to work through and ended up with bronchitis. Hoping that taking sick leave, eating jelly and watching Netflix will prevent that. Meantime I am bored and exhausted and my social life is suffering. Also the downsid...

I think that may be the middle age-ness of everyone in here

I've been sick this week with a chest cold. I have invented blackcurrent, lemon and ginger jelly, and have been pretty much living on that, coffee and dark chocolate. I am really looking forwards to being well enough to eat real food .

I haven't remembered anything in ages. Except for one the other night where I dreamed I was signing fluently in NZSL, and having a really witty and cool conversation with someone I liked and wanted to impress. I'm learning NZSL, and there is someone I would like to impress, so it is not much of a st...

Nothing wrong about fucking off to remote islands to be a recluse. But yeah, what a dick.

I'm thinking pizza too. May or may not mace myself

Are you phd-ing?
I miss research. Post grad doesn't mix well with my mortgage though...
