Yes, but it is for me, so I couldn't really tell what they were saying.
Presumably it's not only you who's having a slow time of work @Eerhardt? If it's just a slow period generally then there's not much you can do about it.

Ah, I see, Ode (anyway, I did find something in English with the IMDB) and no worries (copyright@Beldin), as long as the verdict isn't out on potential new customers, I'm staying put - should anything jeopardize my presence at the Rolling Thunder TM, you guys will be the first to know ** SLURRs some more purple beer as not to jinx anything **

The IMDB didn't really sum it up that well, I thought. Try here if your browser can translate Japanese sites.

Let me know how the pool party goes. And what your friends think of ice bongs.

Yep again....it is...(see pic)

..and YES , I'll let you know.

@Ode: got it - thanks for looking it up. Sounds like a half-baked movie to me .
@Beldin: looking , man ** finishes his purple beer and lights a Buck's FIZZ **

@Beldin-It looks nice, vaguely mediterranian but not too over the top. You have impeccable taste, my friend.

@Eerhardt-It's great while half-baked, actually, though it's pretty good even when you're not baked at all, and just plain awesome when completely baked.
Another good half-baked movie is Akira, but you have to wait until Tetsuo gets his powers for it to get really good.

@Ode: That's exactly what we tried to achieve...

@E-Man: Don't worry 'bout the job....there is ALWAYS another option....you just have to keep your eyes and your mind open


**orders a MC² from dusty while smoking in a shine-filled tub**

The trouble with Mediterranian is that it can easily go over the top and become tacky, there are a lot of houses that cross the line from nicely stylish into horrbly tacky in Perth. You have my utmost congratulations on having avoided this, it's quite hard to find a balance sometimes.
**Takes a pre-rolled spliff from the bowl on the bar counter and gets into the tub**

@Beldin: I'll drink to that ! ** downs his Buck's FIZZ ** and I agree with Ode on finding a great balance
@Ode: the ending of Akira must be particularly interesting with the wrigling mass...

*wanders in and collapses in a corner*

So... whassup?

Back at last, Georgi? *hug* How was the festival?
**Gets Georgi an E.C.h.C.**

Yeah, tell us all about it! I reckon it was exhausting, then? ** pours himself a glass of Jack Daniels **

Cheers Ode Hey, careful with the hugs, mind the sunburn. The festival was cool... I'm soooo tired! But it was fun. So how is everyone?

Edit: Hi Eery
Well I had to work as well as party, which is extra-exhausting - got stuck with the night shift (10pm-6am) on Saturday, but did get to work on the backstage gate... Roger Waters came through (in between all the band tour buses). And on Friday, I saw Ozzy Osbourne

Irreverent Glad to see your return

I didn't think it was possible to get sunburned in England... *careful hug* You're going to just loathe Australia in summer if you get sunburnt easily.
What were the bands like? And did you snap anyone's spine like you were planning on doing?

the actions of Eerhardt

Personally, so much planned and so little time to do it (Broodwar, NWN, Warcraft III, Myst III, reading Pratchett...) as opposed to at work, where I hardly get any calls these days (maybe I should read more at work ). As long as I've got the Rolling Thunder to hang out in, I'm fine ** downs his shot of J.D. and orders Dusty to fill his glass again ** we haven't seen Brink or Archeron in a while, though Archie put in a cameo appearance a while back. Astafas is around, but I can never tell when he decides to drop by. Kam and Stil have finally finished their exams and drop by more often now. We haven't seen McBane in a while or Ned, but Ned's pretty tied up at work at the moment.
EDIT - Ozzy Osbourne ; did he perform any special acts?

As usual. Did you see any of the tv coverage of the festival?

As is always the case. Good to have you back, BTW.

EDIT-I think Irreverant is actually what El Sperm meant, Georgeous. And it's fitting, you have to admit.

Only when I'm on an eight-hour shift standing in the sun and don't have a chance to put on any more suncream. It rained yesterday though...

Most of the bands I saw were pretty good. Isaac Hayes was cool, if only because he actually sang Chocolate Salty Balls and a huge crowd turned up to see Rolf Harris. The White Stripes were fantastic... and so was the first 10 minutes of the Charlatans (I had to leave and go to work )...

Edit @Ode I know what he meant

Yeah i did, have to agree about Isaac, really class White Stripes seemed really emotional, so did Elbow, didn't see the Charlatans. Most of the bands i heard were good
