"Dud ya seh tha phootay!?"
- No.

Reply with 'yes (Insert merseyside/North London Derby winner here) were very much deserving winners, it was a cracking game.'

[dostoevsky]

So you support Carlton, North Melbourne, Essendon or one of the other billion melbourne based AFL teams?

I am finding Cleaning is more enjoyable than AFL.

The second Victorian team that popped into your head was North Melbourne?

Also I follow Essendon but not that closely, I don't actually find AFL that interesting, it was just the team that my friends supported.

[Kick]

I'm a Kiwi ffs, I didn't even know the Hawks were a Melbourne team till I went there!

Everyone asked me who I supported when I first moved here. It was Crows or Port, I chose Crows since I don't live in Port Adelaide. I don't care either way though.

When I was a kid I thought the Western Bulldogs were from Western Australia. Made sense then, still makes sense now.

[Kick]

I don't even know where the Western Bulldogs are from

[dostoevsky]

Footscray, mate.

Pronounced foot-as-cray in a heavy accent.

Better check yourself before you wreck yourself.

Going to a Mutual Benefit concert tonight with two people I don't know (maybe I can make new friends!). Unfortunately I got sick a couple days ago with your typical cold, but it turned into a bit of a cough and it has killed my voice. I can hardly speak, really- it's pretty bad.

Not looking forward to trying to get to know people while I can barely speak, but hopefully it won't get in the way too much. Should be really fun either way.

Oh, and AFTER I bought a ticket, my math professor schedules an exam that ends 30 minutes before the concert

EDIT: Should include a song

Mutual Benefit - Golden Wake:

Concert was great. Very intimate, it was in a room behind a bar that had probably around 50 people and the bands playing. As the opener was playing, you could see Jordan Lee (he is Mutual Benefit) standing in the crowd watching just like everyone else. He was also signing vinyl's which were selling for an incredibly low $15.

Thinking about going to see Of Montreal on Sunday.

[Juveman17]

Nice!

[CBarca]

dude go to bed ffs

[beatrixasdfghjk.]

What is mutual benefit?
I know a Jordan Lee ... he's an idiot.

Just got back from the Gold Coast, my tan .

[dostoevsky]

Sounds like an awesome environment for a concert CB, glad you got there after your maths exam!

How many words was your essay?

[dostoevsky]

...have fun with that.

Out of interest, what sort of contact hours have you had with Honours this year?

[Kick]

Total word count is 9,732.

It's also a thesis, not an essay


I don't have set contact hours but I am normally doing 9am-4/5pm days. Sometimes I work later, such as tonight, sometimes I work less though.

[dostoevsky]

That seems quite low, is that excluding appendices, footnotes etc?

Fair enough.

[Kick]

Not appendices, It is quite low, the max word count allowed (not including references, abstract, appendices et al) is 8,000 so it can't be long to begin with.

[dostoevsky]

Only 8000?

Good luck cutting that down.

[Kick]

I'm actually at a tad over 6,000 once I discount everything.

The trick is to be concise everywhere

[dostoevsky]

Being concise is overrated
