Suicidal dash
3:06 pm Tue, 10th February 2004Kazzart’s new personal definition of suicidal: to run pell-mell up a flight of stairs and down another, whilst wearing loose havaianas and a skirt, to catch a train that had been sitting on platform 2 of West Ryde station since you arrived at the bus stop. One of these days I’m gonna kill myself doing that. Especially with the taking two or three stairs at a time part.
Anyway, not much time to blog at the moment. I have an impending meeting with the Image dept manager at my work. After seeing an e-newsletter I designed for another business dept, they now want me to design one for them, and a few other depts.. fun fun. š
This is a refreshingly honest post. Particularly poignant considering my post yesterday, and stuff I’ve been thinking about lately.
Jam
(Added: 4:04pm) Hm.. looks like its a no show for that meeting. Anyway, last night I actually went and jammed with those musos. It was fun! The band is called “Ruby” and they have a bass player, guitarist and drummer. They play mostly blues/rock’n’roll. The kind of music you hear at pubs and RSL’s, to which the oldies can to get up and dance. Stuff by Elvis, The Beatles, even some Santana.. songs such as “Don’t Be Cruel”, “Hound Dog”, “Blue Suede Shoes”, “Mustang Sally” etc. Pretty simple stuff.. upbeat and bluesy.. usually with only 3 chords (and the truth :P).
I had fun. I used his little keyboard (coz I came straight from work), and just played along and improvised. Even took a few solos. We played from about 7ish to 10ish. I have a rather sore coccyx today coz of how I was sitting for those 2 / 3 hours.
However, the highlight of the evening was discovering that he and his wife have a cat! An absolutely beautiful siamese named Cindy (short for Cindarella). She is sooo gorgeous and affectionate!! With brilliant blue eyes.. and is really really vocal! You talk to her, and she’ll talk right back! Argh! I want a siamese cat next! š

Ah the unenlightened.
Havaianas are todays fashionable rubber thongs or “flip flops”… you wear on your feet. They’re the ones everyone (guys and girls) are wearing… u get em from General Pants Co and places like that. I have a white pair that I always wear.

what’s wrong with the word “thong”???
obviously it’s not shwanky enough and also has the wrong conotations with it.

Nothing wrong with the word “thongs”, but I realise that different countries have different definitions of the word. America has the underwear meaning.. and uses the word “flip flops” in place of “thongs”. Its just to prevent misunderstanding.
