Ink stained fingers in ink stained dreams

ah ha my dears, long time no read. No need to despair ... i'll try to keep this brief.

Breaking news: my mother begging me not to get a tattoo when I purposly let it slip over Easter that i've always wanted one (and not the many I ment). She instead endorses facial piercings - even explaining why I should get my nose pierced.
Kinda makes me want both. Not like she'll ever see the tatts untill sometime down the track if I ever get those stockings and sleves. Can't wait to see her reaction when my ears are done.

Tattoo 'grande planne' is being gradually worked out - mostly. Same with piercings. Now to find someome ('cause you all know i've been saving for a while) then 'bam' - INK!! Starting with something resonably small and easy to care for. Which I've changed my mind for again... kinda.

I have a computer - Free!! Long live Uncle Maurie giving me his old pc. It just needs a table, to be set up and for me to get an external harddrive (this thursday after work is the best bet) and ISP (my bro. & Pat. are endorsing Exetel). Then I can inflict pain upon you on a more regular basis. I can read soo much and return to my writing with a new idea started on the train this morning... the 6:15 (I was there at 6 'cause Dad was one his way to work for some minor emergency) which didn't come, so I got the 6:40 at about 7:00 when it came. sChItTY RAIL Illawarra style & hello peak hour!

My hair - needs a redye. Desperatly. Looking like a tequila sunrise which is very scary, even discounting the regrowth. Shall call the hairdresser, which means between work and trying to get better (yes, I know, no need for that face Jenn) means I shall be a busy girl. Pity I have jury duty thurs. - but hopefully with just one look i'll be discounted.

Should be off - I actually do work you know. To all those lucky enough not to be, enjoy the holiday,

Mishka

ps - if you want it, I can outline the 'grande planne'. Only if there is demand. Sketches may have to wait unless you really want me scanning them in at work? Plus I need to get them up to my standards.
pps - my favourite aunt, Roz, flies in soon! Bringing Danno! So if I seem a little frazzled early May, you can surmise why.

G is for gig?

Gigs - been busy. Quick update.

08-09/03 Fall Out Boy = Gods. Asides from being hauled out of the mosh concert no.1 (dizzy spells again, and yes everyone pulling those faces, i've learned my lesson), I was the absolute first let in and on the barrier for concert 2. Pretty special moment for the old mish, let me tell you. Especially since it's never going to happen again.

29/03 Dropkick Murphys - great. Diables as support was a great move. The one before them - I have very little respect for, being scarcastic about us seeing support acts before telling us to fuck off - before they started. Being pissy is not Punk Rock.

31/03 V festival - PIXIES. Barrier for PIXIES. Blown away - I want to be Kim when I grow up. Also saw: New York Dolls, Jarvis Cocker, Beck and a bit of Pheonix from where I was sitting.

03/04 Joss Stone - Hopeless clothes sooo Clandestine (Roz agrees and K.O. now uses that term for henious gear) but Amazing voice. Well worth the asking price.

06/04 New Found Glory - Ah, soft core punk rock gigs. New shirt, great atmoshpere, interesting support which was a cross between Fall Out Boy and The Academy Is...
Free sticker, CD and DVD. Hot Brunette Bob the roadie, whom I may have ogled.

05/04 Bane - my first hardcore gig. If I can develope an approprite moshing style, I may very well join in next time. Am a hardcore fan. Nicest crowd at any gig i've seen to date. Bane hoodie currently being worn. Pity the Tori believes it looks like sporting apparel and James doesn't believe in any Hardcore other than his beloved Hardcore tehcno/trance stuff. Interesting arguement on easter day though.

extra: saw Hot Fuzz (sooo bloody funny, shall actually purchase when it's all DVD), the Notorious Betty Page (both on 02/04) and Becomming Jane (don't - unless semi-serious romance makes you laugh as much as it does me). 300 soon (I hope)


Far more gigs to come in the near future - it's all part of the job, which i'd better get back to. I might further outline/review later, but eh, it's been a few busy weeks.
