Just arrived. Would love to get out and see the city but I got MSG’d in the Melbourne airport so I’m unnaturally lethargic compounded by mild stomach cramps. Something called “vegetable noodle” turned out to be “sugary syrup with MSG noodle”. Guess I shoulda consulted Engrish.com before I ordered.

Well our tour officially began last night. It’s now Wednesday and we’ve been here (having an amazing time) since Friday or Saturday. I can’t remember. We came down early because we hadn’t played together since mid-December. Turns out after being a band for 17 years it doesn’t take us long to get back to “smokin” and “shit-hot”. We absolutely slayed, and that includes playing a new song called “The WOW! Signal”. Type those words into wiki and have a little read, it’s pretty cool. The song won’t be there, but it will be on our forthcoming album, which will be titled THIS MACHINE. (Sorry, I couldn’t think up any more goofy ones, and anyway it’s time to get serious about the rock).
This photo has been my view for what feels like an entire chapter of my life here but now its time to go. Kinda sad to leave.

(2011) A rare instance where the movie is better than the book, but that said, I hope the Aussie chick who comes in at the end can learn to subdue her acting or she’ll likely ruin the sequels. |

(2010) It’s comforting to know that a large percentage of our national debt went directly into the pockets of some good old-fashioned American shitbags. |

(2011) Watchable, but you gotta really want it. |

(2010) If back in 2002 you had a t-shirt proclaiming “American Proud” then the title alone says this movie is for you. |

The Other Guys (2010) Between whoever the geniuses are that wrote this, the able director and the humungo cast, they’ve invented about eighty new kinds of funny here and literally all but about four sent me into proper hysterics. |
 |

(2007) It’s as amazing as everyone says it is but man if someone can write an ending for this movie it would totally be worth the money getting this cast and crew back together to shoot it and edit it in. |

Well this was only fun for a little while. I shoulda seen it coming.
He had two Hot Ladies on the team of good guys. He was gonna feel the need to have them not get along (because character realism isn’t the point here, tension and release is). That particular subplot was not very believably written but merely annoying since the action rocked right along…. Until he decided they should really have it out.
Well when he did he blew it.
In storytelling and invention, an argument decided upon rather than arrived at is a real ball-dropper and basically since it got dropped, so has this book. I’d like to get back into it cuz it was really quite fun for a while there. Lots of great historical information and the dude can really write action. I’ve tried twice but the spell has been broken. I think.
