They surround me, purring, and they mock me.
OH: “She didn’t actually have any smellable smells.”
Oink!
@trevoryoung What’s the difference? About $150 an hour.
In position.
@Rubbachook I don’t know that I’d pitch my stuff as a TV series, but maybe a book of some sort is in order.
@lukehopewell “Frightening?” It’s glorious!
@lukehopewell Hey, I just quietly listen to the world around me…
@mpesce I believe that I’m on the same continent as you are, at least for the time being. I’m willing to take advice on this.
Three of them alight at Parramatta, agreeing to meet the others later at Central. And the spell is broken.
OH: “Where are you from? I’m from Lithgow. Lithgow’s like God’s arsehole. I used to work at Woollies, in the perishable department freezer.”
OH: “Hey ladies, how cool’s my ring? You can break it into two and we can be soulmates!”
Oh hang on, there’s a sixth one. Tom. OH: “You’re going to have to stand up soon, Tom, we’ll have to get off the train.”
OH: “What did he just say? Fuckin’ hell. If he said that fifty years ago, he’d be upside down with a pitchfork in his arse.”
OH: “Della? Oh I know Della. She’s such a fuckin’ dog, man, I fuckin’ hate her.”
Everything is OK, they have some more Smirnoff Double Blacks. Fresh bottles have been opened all round.
OH, chatting up a girl on the train: “I’m going to Adelaide Uni to study a Bachelor of Music, and this is my last night out with my mates.”
OH: “I can’t believe I got into Adelaide Uni, bro! I can’t believe I got into a diploma!”
That’s a very great many empty Smirnoff Double Black bottles. In addition to the cask.
OH: “‘Love is a Battlefield’, that was the sickest cover ever!”
Remaining two names: Abo and Logan.
Three of five names identified so far: Rob, Fitz and Stoner.
OH: “I wish Parramatta would hurry up. I feel like we’ve been on this train for like 20 hours. Rail transport, you can fuckin suck my knob!”
OH: “Hey we’re at Blaxland! Let’s go visit my grandparents. They’re loaded. We’ll roll them.”
The five young men are from Lithgow, and they’re passing around a cask of Smirnoff and cranberry. It’s nearly empty.
@helen_lo My location is no secret…
@tomjsenior Plus I should get to Melbourne some time soon. It’s been to long.
OH: “I fucking’ hate this iPhone, bro. It’s a stupid gay cunt. I don’t understand it.”
@tomjsenior Alas yes our paths don’t cross this time. I return from SFO on 22/2.
@SnarkyPlatypus I find it inexplicable that you didn’t use a different word just then.
@kcarruthers People invite me to San Francisco. Who am I to refuse?
I’d love to stay up here in this rain, @expectproblems, but hey in 48 hours I leave for San Francisco where it’ll be 13C and rainy, I see
On the platform at Wentworth Falls station http://post.ly/1bqEi
And that moment is over. There shall ne a bite of lunch, then the train back to Sydney.
Having tidied the cottage, I’m now pausing a while to enjoy the gentle rain in the bush before returning to Sydney.
RT @HunterDK: I want the Atlas Shrugged fans and the Twilight fans to fight it out. Over what, I don’t care. [With knives, preferably.]
That’s the main part of the “Patch Monday” podcast edited and mixed. Just a few loose ends to do on it tomorrow. Yay.
@einspruch I must agree, I am happy with some of those episodes that dissected the NBN politics. I’ll have to listen again.
Dear “Patch Monday” listeners, which episodes do you think were the best of 2010? I’m compiling a list. http://arseh.at/ch
20C and rain? I think I want to stay up in the mountains today. The rain would be delightful.
@KyBusiness I find the Apple Store just a little bit creepy, to tell the truth.
Sat plan: Edit “Patch Monday” podcast; tidy cottage; return to Sydney; wash clothes; dinner with @SnarkyPlatypus, I believe.
If I cannot choose the colour of my iPhone case then I have no freedom.
Je me présente.
