Update-age

Well it's been a while since I used this blog as a, well, you know blog.... So I thought I'd try something novel!

Anyway life is good. I've kept busy, kept on stage and kept the juices flowing nicely, all of which is great. I now have a joint account with Chris. I've never had a joint account with anyone in my life ever, so it's a big deal. Well it is to me. Today I get to do our first rental payment out of it! It's a big moment. Of course the biggest moment was when I came home earlier in the week and said

"Chris Chris Chris!"
"Yes Seamus" she replied, with much less enthusiasm and vigour than I....
"I bought Cheese"
"That's nice dear"
"And I used the card for the joint account - It's our first joint account purchase!"
"Oh, wow" she replied with a comparable level of enthusiasm and vigour to mine.

Here endeth the parable of the cheese.

So yeah. Applied to go to uni. Applied for a car loan. And I'm singing again! I've had the good fortune to be cast in Melbourne Model:The Musical's return season in March. It should be nuts. I'm playing Geoff Blainey. Had a BBQ with the cast and crew last night. I also discovered that work after a Sunday night piss up is not as easy as it used to be - surprise surprise.

Oh and Robert Doyle is the new lord mayor. So I'm glad I got out of the City of Melbourne game when I did!! :).

Mmmm cheese!
Shayne and I plan to open our joint account this weekend, but then we've been planning to do it for a while. You never know though, we might just get round to it this time.

Congratulations on the role. I'm curious to see how the musical turns out.

Apparently a bit of it's being re-written. And there are only 2 returning cast in their original roles - so it should be quite different.

There are other returning cast, that have been re-assigned. Should be really good!

I hope!

Maybe!

Well we'll see.

Also: Comedy festival artist pass!!!! yeah.

Jesse and I keep on meaning to open a joint account, but there's just the problem that we are pretty lazy and quite comfortable with how things are. anyway, I know his netbank password (it's the username that I have more trouble with) and he uses my credit card freely, so I guess our finances are joint except for that symbolic step of letting the bank know.

Hey brilliant, mate. You got the role! Slay 'em, son. ;)

And I hear you on the Doyle thing. Dumb fuck wants to open up Swanston St, because that'll alleviate traffic. Sure it will. Moron.

But you know that making the city more car friendly IS the best way to reduce congestion...

Although from what I understand, it won't be that easy. There'll be 3 greens on council, and he won't control a majority. So we shall see what happens.....

Yes, this is an issue that's dear to my heart as i ride through their each morning, and it's bad enough as it is trying to dodge the traffic that's there. It's going to be worse if there are cars that are constantly changing lanes to go aorund parked cars and trams. They'd have to widen the road to make it safe.

I really hope that the greens stop it going through. And they do more to make it safer as a bike path. I've been a little freaked out about going down there since the woman was run over the other month, but there's no good alternative.

I got freaked out after I had to go down Swanston st on a bike during the Commonwealth Games. Elizabeth st had been completely closed. Swanston st was open to all traffic. There were trams, trucks, buses, cars AND pedestrians who hadn't worked out that Swanston st wasn't a walk that day and were blithley stepping out in front of traffic. It was madness, chaos, I'm actually surprised (and thankful) that no one died that day... though maybe iof there had been an accident more safety precautions would have been put in place and that woman wouldn't have dired this year and the whole idea of opening it up would not be happening now.

On the other hand, they might still be considering it. Idiots.

My best encounter on swanston remains this one

faark. Taxi drivers are stupid and mostly oblivious to the world around them. At least in terms of road rules that is, because I've had some really interesting chats about the state of the world with taxi drivers recently. Maybe I shouldn't try to have a conversation, because it doesn't look like they can do two things at once from how they drive.

You didn’t just say “I bought cheese”, you dragged me downstairs, opened the fridge and proudly displayed the cheese.

I love you.

[mc-shamo.livejournal.com]

Yes I did.

I've cut it down for our readers.
