Silverchair

Went to watch Silverchair on Wednesday night with Grace, Brian and Nat at the Enmore Theatre. They played alot of songs and displayed good musicianship and showmanship. I guess the only dissapointing thing was the lack of old material, in particular no songs from Frogstomp (i.e. no 'Tomorrow', 'Pure Massacre' or 'Israel's Son' - what the?). I think there were 2 songs from Freak Show and 2 from Diorama. They nearly played the whole 'Young Modern' album.

This was a good thing for the new fans and I guess alot of old fans (like myself) would appreciate their musical maturity as their career plods along.

Apart from that concert, work has been good. Having just completed my 6th week, I'm starting to put in some late nights at the office (my honeymoon period is over). Keep those cabcharge dockets rolling in! The work 'convention' up at Noosa last week was good too. Heaps tiring and pretty pointless (in terms of work) but it was basically compulsory so I had to go. Not that I'm complaining! Had good fun, met alot of people and took as much advantage of the free food/grog/facilities/luxuries that were available. The only downside was that I missed a friend's birthday, the launch of REEF and the AYC meeting on Sunday - three events that I really wanted to be at.

AYC is moving along and RICE is quickly gaining momentum. The busyness of recent weeks is weighing me down but the motivation behind both of these events is keeping me going. However, personal QT is definitely taking a battering. Need to find a way to simply do it!

Weekly indoor soccer has been organised so hopefully that'll kick along! Come to think of it, I have two-three free nights a week (if there are no meetings or late nights at the office). I really miss those lazy, carefree days doing nothing.

Minutes spent playing Nintendo Wii this week : Zero....damn.
