Motherfucker: A Rant In The Usual List Format
30 September 2006- Earlier this morning while riding my scooter, I almost got hit by a car attempting to run a red light. I also got cut off last weekend. I don’t want to die while riding my Vespa, but I guess, seeing how I now have my new Momo helmet at least I’ll look fucking good when I splat on the road.
- The tailor I was recommended managed to hem my $600 jeans to the wrong length. Thankfully it was too long but when you’re reattaching hems; i.e., cutting off the leg and reattaching the hem rather than hemming from the bottom, you don’t have much room for error.
- I saw Coldcut last night with P. It was at the State Opera House and I was expecting it to be awesome like Shapeshifter last week. Sadly, it wasn’t. Pitch Black were pretty damn good, but the entire thing was so unbelieveably loud my ears weren’t ringing – they were just aching. I had to beg a stewardess for ear plugs (like they sell them at the Opera House!) and my ears were still hurting through them. Coldcut have now surpassed Soundgarden in 1996 as the loudest concert I’ve ever been to.
- This list is in order of annoyance.

Ha, I remember that Soundgarden tour in 96. I saw them in Perth. Jebediah were first support, and we thought “Oh, that’s pretty loud”. Then You Am I came on and we said “Uh-oh, we’re in for a loud one here”. Then Soundgarden came on and OMG, it was the loudest thing I had ever heard.
We just sat in silence on the way home … there was no point talking because none of us could hear.
Wooot! RSS brings me back to my animoller-reading roots…
Also, which helmet? The Momo designs vary quite a bit (after checking the site, I know these things), and I need to know just how cool a dead Ani would look…
Momo Fighter, except mine is shiny dark grey with silver writing.
Sweet helmet!
You should also protect your hearing, it’s worth the 12 bucks
You can’t go wrong with a great pair of jeans (aside from getting them hemmed at a tailor who can’t measure 30”).
That is New Zealand dollars, by the way. I got them on sale for $300 (which is closer to what they are actually worth if I bought them in the States) but I would not want to try and replace them. :’/
I hope those jeans have no “crown” designs on their backpockets… ggg
