No Dota here. I'm not much of a gamer. The Continental is this old radio program guy who was really smooth with the ladies. Christopher Walken did a really funny/creepy parody of it on Saturday Night Live.

I hope that's not the case. The amount of mental gymnastics it takes to conclude that drag queens are somehow responsible for this is pretty wild.

I'm also so confused by the flaccidity of his message: "Drag queens are not for kids" is hardly a protest. Like if you're going to push a hetero-normative agenda and then take your own life at least do something more compelling than breaking up a program aimed at childhood literacy. Anyway's that's all I've got to say on that.

Just did a few days up Noosa and then over to Montville with the missus. Noosa was gorgeous as always but had some crazy storms and still tons of traffic in town from school holidays. Montville was nice and quiet stayed at an eco-resort treehouse type place. I think we brought the average age of the town down into the 70s.

Gonna go see Flying Lotus tomorrow night to remind myself of my youth after doing old people poo poo for a week.

Had some mechanic in Enoggera tell me I absolutely needed to get my front brake pads replaced after he fixed some rear diff noise I was getting. I say nah and had a look at the pads about a week later and they've got about a year on them. He did good work but I'm now unsure of his trustworthiness.

I used to think graffiti was the coolest thing. I just watched a Vice docco about "bombing with NYC crews" and they all are just the most insufferable pricks. What was that Aus graff doc about the kid who gets that girl pregnant and smokes a bunch of weed and keeps bombing trains?

Think I told this story in the last thread but I worked in The Zoo (live music joint in Brisbane) for a few years and we'd put on hip hop shows really rarely because fuckwits would tag the toilets and every available blank wall without fail. Like, show how important you are by bombing trains or whatever I don't care, but don't be cunts to your hosts.

Then the hip hop community would bitch in the street press about how hard it was to put on a show on in town

Had the same problem at The Tivoli. They need extra security detail and the bathroom stalls get tagged up with stupid sharpie tags. I was driving back from a function in Jimboomba to our kitchen at the Tiv following an RnB Fridays and gently caress the valley looked like a bomb had gone off. Chicks in neon fishnets sprawled all over the place and dudes in airmax drinking against fences. It was like being back home in Detroit. We might know some of the same sound guys and roadies if you worked at The Zoo. Ever meet "Metal"? Scrawny dude with a pony tail and tats that lives in a black jeans vest?

Some of the bar staff have their smoking area out behind the kitchen and started leaving treats for the crows because according to reddit they will bring you gifts. Now I've got a family of loving crows out the back who try to steal my bread order at 4:30 AM.

Even back in 2005 the valley was a disaster, after closing up we'd usually hang around and shoot pool for a few hours rather than head out elsewhere. Can't imagine how hosed it is these days.

Valley isn't so bad unless you're out next to Wickham on a Saturday night. I mean its a clubby area but its not totally hosed. I'm from Detroit though so my perspective is pretty skewed. I won't admit an area is bad until I see giant cockroaches polishing their Uzis.

Just got an email stating there has been a sharp increase in youth gang violence in Brisbane CBD:


Heres the email with some info removed for anonymity, stay safe goons.

quote:

The [QPS officer at Brisbane CBD station] in charge has strongly advised us to use extreme caution and where possible, limit our presence within the CBD due to a significant increase of youth violence in the area.
In particular avoid the parking spaces underneath the overpass on turbot street (down from city edge), along George street, King George square and churches and parks in the vicinity.
He also advised Suncorp Plaza was a frequented place (which I think is on George street - from our return trip) and Kurilpa Bridge

He has advised us that recently there has been greater presence of these youth 'gangs' in the CBD area and since social interaction restrictions have been implemented these gangs have increased in number and so have the areas which they frequently loiter. The age range of these youth are approximately 12-16.
He advised they have also begun crossing over the bridges to the other side of the river (Kurilpa and into West End) and seem to be expanding their 'meeting areas' as there is no crowds or distractions to limit their movements.

He also explained that they often approach people as a single person or in pairs and then out of no where, you will be surrounded by 10 others. They have had reports where these children are using metal poles as weapons and injuring people in the area to take personal belongings such as phones, electronics, money etc.
He advised us to carry as little as possible on our person, as they have been targeting anyone in their path. He was pleased that we conduct outreach in pairs, however advised us that this doesn't seem to be much of a deterrent to them lately.

Please be very vigilant and aware of your surroundings at all times, particularly during night outreach.

Use that terrible drug that gives you crazy dreams worked for my mates

That poo poo helped me nearly quit 10 years ago but then I had to go on anti malarials before moving to west africa, where smokes are cheap and abundant. I finally quit by stopping drinking entirely and tapering down to one cigarette a day. Smoked one a day for a good 3 months before stopping. I miss it and Im back drinking but it took me a good 10-15 beer sessions without smoking before the cravings went away.

For me smoking was heavily tied to drinking. I really had to make some drastic, albeit temporary lifestyle changes to break the cycle. I'm glad I did and I'm back running again and generally feel a lot healthier.

I saw a real life goth at the Lutwyche Woolies last Saturday. He was in the frozen food section wearing a full leather duster, those flip up shades, creeper boots with heaps of buckles: I came outside and he was listening to a loving tape on walkman and smoking a clove cigarette. My man needs to be preserved behind plexiglass somewhere.

edit: To be fair this does seem like a great time to embrace the miserable woe is me goth mentality.
