Music Awards, IE7 and a lazy Sunday

So I went along to the awards the other evening and had a great night - I cleverly managed to miss most of the presentations - snuck out and sat in a pub across the road sipping on a few pints of Tetleys and then rejoined the throng for the booze up after party.

The awards were as awards are, that is something that don't really interest me, nor do I care for much.

Saying that I think the awards what I saw and actual end tally weren't too shabby, a credit to the state of our local music scene, I guess.

They are actually something I would normally get worked up about as they tend to celebrate the more mundane or medicore of this art form I love.... but I've better things to be jaded about, (refer to much of whats is going on in the real world), right now than some trinkets given to a bunch of musicans - some of whom rightly deserved their industry and in one case public acolades. Christ I hope I'm not mellowing.... nah fuck that.

Was great to catch up with a bunch of people I haven't seen for a while and them I don't drink with nearly enough. I didn't even mind putting on long trousers, too much.

I do like this cartoon that I've pilfered off Public Address, by Keith Ng as it sums up one of the awards perfectly.








Whilst at Public Address I advise checking out all the different writers, its a great site and one of my daily stop off, I am particularly enjoying new PA contributor David Haywood's Southerly blog, this chap is bloody brillaint I reckon, loving his contributions... and envy his writing style, it rocks.

So its Sunday, I usually take a picture of the tree today (don't worry Paul I will), but can't be arsed.

Instead of indulging in tree porn I am mucking about with this new Internet Explorer 7 thingy, like it thus far but a couple of things aren't as I would wish... like why can't I open a new tab by right mouse clicking... I could in a beta version I ttied months ago... huh Bill? (tips here) I'm not overly happy with the tools on the tool bar that come as defaults, but am not miffed enough to customise them, today at least.

I really dig Microsoft. Sad I know :)

Its a long weekend and I am very m uch enjoying it, had the first BBQ (cheers Kate & Paul) for the session - not perfect BBQ weather but close enough. I went out west to Huia and enjoyed a very pleasant sunny day drinking lion red and eating fish n chips yesterday - thanks Nat, Wayde and Scott. Good times with good people - now thats what life is really all about.

Today has been super lazy, doing a few things about the house and morphing into the couch playing around with the laptop.

I had intended making a 'mix' CD today (I use the word mix very loosely) but as per usual I just haven't felt inspired enough. Its a task that needs both inspiration and concentration and I just didn't feel energetic enough for that action today... there is always tomorrow.

Well thats me, I think I'm over wrting and the internetweb for the day... shite movies await and I love really bad movies.

Rock on!
