Apologies for neglecting you dear readers, Klaus has pretty much ruined blogging for me. Especially now that I know he’s got my Twitter and WordPress bookmarked into his Safari Browser.
But Twitter is down for an hour so I figured I’d show some blog-loving this time around. Not like I have much to say in 140 characters or less all the time but it’s comforting to know it’s there when I do.
Time for an update:
1. Things have pretty much returned to normal – whatever normalcy means. I won’t delve into details because that would entail pouring my tortured heart out while Big Brother watches and there has been enough cardio-vascular action going on here already. This is me with the words on the tip of my tongue, and my eye through a scope down the barrel of a gun.
2. My weekend basically consisted of lazing around the house, smoking, writing, drinking whisky and listening to jazz – I’m starting to think I should kick it up Jack Kerouac style. No human contact whatsoever, save for a cold cut lunch with D. Dr Dan reckons it’s a little pathetic that my social life has completely fallen apart when one German decides to leave the city for a while – in my defense, this solitude was a little self-imposed. That’s my story and I’m sticking to it.
3. The past week, I also dug out heaps of my old records and while listening to Adam Lazzara emo-scream about how he’s a wishful thinker with the worst intentions is a tad embarrassing at my age, it mostly reminded me of why I fell in love with so many of these bands in the first place. If I had to live sixteen all over again, I wouldn’t have made it out alive, especially not without some of these guys. Ian mentioned that DCFC would be touring with Andrew Bird this summer and making a pit stop in Berkley – fuck me, how exciting!
Goodnight. I’m really looking forward to Monday.

This is long overdue. I feel like I write so much in the day I haven’t anything good left to dump here.
Kuala Lumpur was fantastic. You know where to look for pictures. I had a heap of fun meeting the TAG boys again and partying it up at the Loft. Funny story: my new bangs make me look younger so this overly testosterone obviously hormonal bouncer at the door carded me (total angst-overcompensation for his lack of hair i bet) and i had no idea they’d switched their age limit to 21 so naturally i panicked even though the boys had put me on their guest list.
Thanks to my quick reflexes and mad ninja skills, i figured i could only bank on the single thing i was remotely good at… talking my way/lying through my teeth. So naturally I attempted some serious name-dropping (“O I know so-and-so & they’re expecting me upstairs already!” – FACT) and shoved my name card in his face (“I’m a writer for a magazine! I’m here to cover the ‘night!” – FACT), and bitched about how I was a tourist and how he seriously didn’t expect me to bring my passport around especially not when my sole purpose was to get shit-faced drunk (FACT AGAIN!) So technically I didn’t really have to pull any of my Jedi mind tricks but all the same, I have never felt more disgusting telling the truth EVER. He let me through in the end, probably sick to his stomach from the pathetic strings i had to pull. No matter though, feelings of repugnance are easily washed away by jugs of really cheap whiskey and vodka. God how i love Malaysia.
Speaking of which I haven’t set foot into Home Club for the longest while. And it seems like with the demise of gossipboy comes a whole new slew of rumor-mongering. I invited a certain acquaintance to The Rakes at Zouk on thursday and apparently I missed out on a “PLUS ONES ARE THE EQUIVALENCE OF FUCK BUDDIES” memo that was passed around. Really I don’t see why my love life is of any concern to anyone but myself. For the record, I am not a home wrecker so you can stop asking me why my relationship status on Facebook is unavailable. Go read a book. It’ll do you a hell lot of good.
Still on the topic of Home Club, it seems like a lot of drama has gone down of late. Hah, of late indeed. Still the same old melodramatic scumhole full of ignorant indie hipster wannabe kids. Just the way I left it.
These days I’m so busy with work I couldn’t care less. I spend 3/5 of my time in the office and the other 2/5 trying to cherish the short weekends with a little ‘me’ time. In between little chi-chic schmoozing parties (what do you do for Earth Hour? I was at at this hippie party that contrary to popular belief, did not stink of douche baggery) and that little time i try to devote every week to hanging out with my close friends properly, I am in some serious state of stretched thin.
Ranting calls for another post. I’m tired and it’s past my bed time. I hope you’ve had other good things to read online while I was away.
By the way I did not get to take a picture with Senor Boyd. Was I mad? Yes. Did I want to strangle the organizers? Yes. But I was also [---] that close to him at the press conference so somehow that made things a-okay. Boy, unattainable rockstars aside, I am so easy to please. Pah!

I’m so excited for Incubus I think I’m going to hurl.
Make Yourself & Morning View took my breath away and I’m so afraid that if I see them i might just asphyxiate and die.
Death would be more honorable than meeting the boys and not knowing what to say.

Tennessee emo-rockers Paramore dropped by for Gigwise’s Tuborg Webchat Wednesday today (February 6) and, as expected, in a year-and-a-half of chats it was our busiest one yet.Fans from all over the globe, including their huge Brazilian community, posed their questions to guitarist Josh Farro and bassist Jeremy Davis and there was a variety of hot topics talked about – including religion and the US Presidential race.
When asked who they were backing to be the next President, Josh replied: “I haven’t really looked into US politicians that much this year. I really hope Hillary Clinton doesn’t get elected cause she’s crazy!!!!”
In response, Renan wrote: “The US needs a crazy person in charge, no offence.” Before Josh replied: “Why do we need a crazy person in charge? What good would that do?”
Wow, he sounds really informed. I guess that’s why children aren’t allowed to vote. I don’t hate the band but I loathe ignorant immature little shites. Please, don’t even attempt to make a comment on something if you don’t follow it. It just makes you sound sickeningly uneducated. Ugh, go read a book or study for your AP or something.
Like anyone is really going to take political advice from a hotshit band with bad hair. Stupid twat.
