Tag Archives: death cab for cutie

OH MY G… uh… i mean… JUNIOR MINTS!!….

ive been meaning to post this entry all week however due to technical problems (bloody youtube!) and time constraints this has become inpossible to do… and left as a task for the weekend… oh well for those of you who have waited here you go the first installment…

———————————————-

Hi everyone,

Tim here, umm… ive been trying to write this blog entry every night this week but realized it was either far too late at night or that i had work the next day so ive been leaving it for today. Uhh… i think there is ALOT to cover so im expecting this blog to be REALLY long… Oh and this might also be because of all the pictures and stuff as well.

So… to kick things off… yesterday, i went to see Death Cab For Cutie LIVE at the Enmore Theatre. Wait… let me step back a bit… i want to start from the beginning of the day.

Okay… so yesterday was a monday which meant work… and this meant that if i wanted to go see death cab for cutie that night i would have to bring a change of clothes to work. After spending most of sunday night thinking of what to wear i decided that ill just have to go with the flow and wear whatever i grab in the morning. (this ended up being a pretty good choice) And so, then i headed off to work, the trip was just like every other morning, i didn’t get a seat on the bus and i had to stand the whole way. (not that i mind standing but i just thought you should know)

Anyways… the day at work was very strange… i had come to work prepared for a long and excruciating day, however, the hours just flew by… i found this extremely strange because usually when there is something that you are looking forward to at the end of the day, time will propagate and stretch to seem like it is moving slower then it actually is… however, this did not happen…

After breaking the laws of physics i went to the change rooms to change into some more suitable clothes for the concert, i also took a couple of pictures for the “what im wearing” page of my blog and then headed out to meet my friends, gino, dean and mark. From there we traveled to Newtown and to the Enmore theatre where we met up with rohit (Suds) and daniel.

We had arived extremely early which got us at the very front of the line, while we waited,  I wanted to take some pictures of us under the sign with our hands up in the air! However it seemed that my friends cared too much about how they would look to the other people around us… so i did it alone.

After we had waited in line for about an hour the doors were opened and people rushed into the venue much like hounds released at race track. However before we were allowed entry, the security guards informed us that our bags were meant to be placed into the cloak room, in a desperate attempt to keep our spot in the line we sacrificed dean making him our pack horse and sent him to the cloak room with all of our bags. This gave the rest of us the chance to run to the merchandise stall to purchase our shirts.

Shirt 2!!~

After purchasing our shirts we made our way to our seats. Where we go into a heated argument about whether the singer from the support band An Horse was male or female. After hearing her voice i had immediately said that she was female however dean continued to argue that she looked like a male… Seeing no end to this argument i resorted to using the internet on my phone to look up the band on wikipedia to find and answer to our questions, i was right, she was a she.

An Horse

After An Horse played we waited and waited… until… all of a sudden the lights dimmed… surrounding us in black, the audience fell into an awkward silence as everyone waited for the band… within the darkness the silhouettes of the band walked across the stage and then, everyone fell into an uproar as the band members picked up their instruments and we were graced by the opening notes of Bixby Canyon Bridge.

Hey guys,

So much has happened over the last 48 or something hours… i dont really know where to start… But i guess i should start typing something or else i will continue to just sit here procrastinating…

So… as you can see (or more like i hope that you have noticed) the what im wearing page is up and running! and thats kinda cool except i was meant to do the what im wearing thing at least every second day but since i was in a horrible mood when i got home last night i didnt take a picture of myself and it looks like this might turn into a once a week thing rather then a every second day thing… but neither the less i hope you enjoy it.

Umm…. oh ok… i realized after writing my previous blog that i dont really like the direction that my blog is heading like this whole “im talking about nothing business…” so just as a public notice announcement kind of think i want to tell you guys that i am going to try and steer away from blogs like that and try to write ones that are more relevant? i dunno…

On a completely different topic, one of my friends, Lenny, has recently recorded a vlog (video blog)… and uhh… what can i say… its beautiful. Not once whilst watching did i think “wow this is boring” the whole time i was captivated by his ability to drive and talk at the same time (something that i am incapable of doing) but yeah i know what youre thinking “so what about Lenny’s blog or vlog this is your blog Tim talk about your own stuff” and yeah your right i should be talking about my own stuff so what i was going to talk about was whether if i should make my own vlog tomorrow…

The reason i am asking you this is because in Lenny’s vlog there was a part about me, one on how he catagorized me as scene and his explanation of why he did it… this brought the thought/idea of making a video response, maybe a similar driving video blog…

Recently ive been playing a whole lot of Brawl. This is mainly due to the absolute humiliation that Ricky put me through on Melee earlier this week. But not only did i lose to Ricky (who i consider an actual pro) i lost to Ivan and Billy as well… so with this new found determination i have been hard at work training myself on brawl so that when that day comes, the day where we are playing Brawl not Melee, i will be prepared, readied and poised to defeat my adversaries.

Now to the main topic of discussion. Umm… i dont know if you guys remember… but i think about 2 posts ago i mentioned my participation in a competition to win tickets to see (one of my favourite bands) death cab for cutie LIVE and intimate at a myspace secret show. And so… if you do recall this entry you might remember me saying that i hated myself for my stupid response.

WELL IVE GOT GOOD NEWS!

I WON.

Yep thats right with my crappy response, somehow, i won… this being the first ever thing that i have ever won (on this caliber) in my life i think that i deserved it. With this i basically have an action packed week a head of me… firstly ive got the death cab for cutie concert at the enmore that i am going to where me and my friends just managed to get row v seats for… for this ill have to figure out a way to bring a change of clothes to work and also find a way to leave work early so i can get to the enmore in time…

Then on tuesday ill have the myspace secret show! where ill again have to find a way to leave work early… well actually im planning to work half a day on tuesday then working another half day on thursday after uni to make up for it. Also on tueday i am planning to bring my acoustic guitar to the secret show to see if i can get ben gibbard to sign it!!!

well its 3:41am and im staying up because of stupid reasons that im not going to explain to you… so i think ill just leave it here for today… or tomorrow… or whatever it is…

Hey blog readers,

Nothing crazy has been happening lately so there isnt much to blog about but ill try and make this an interesting entry neither the less =)

Firstly here is my sketch i drew at work haha as you can tell i work very hard…

I don’t think you can really make out what it says… so i guess that its kinda pointless that i showed you guys haha but oh well…

Umm Oh i also took a picture of this man busking on monday he was playing a umm… actually im not sure what that instrument is called… i should find out though…

I know its kinda hard to make out cause he is so far away but i didnt want to walk up and take a picture of him haha mainly cause i was afraid… im not sure what of, but i was afraid.

Oh ive made an update on the blog! like the actual site, i added a “Recordings” page this is where my recordings will go i guess… ill firstly put them up normally on a normal blog entry then ill put them there on that page for quicker access and stuff like that.

Im also thinking of making another page where i can put like pictures of what i wore for that particular day lol much like the canadian girl’s blog but these pictures will go straight to that page and will not apear on the normal blog entries.

Umm… what else… Oh ive started using my ipod shuffle that i “won” from IT camp haha (i beat this girl in the auction for it, but thats another story) the reason for this is because my phone (also my mp3 player) stuffed up on monday and i needed something to use so i could listen to music while i rode on the bus… the thought of using an ipod to listen to my music made me feel… kinda weird… this is mostly because of my detest for apple products… but there was an upside to it! the earphones… the classic ipod earphones… there is something about them that make the person wearing them instantly cool (or maybe not) But ive got to say i did feel kinda trendy wearing them.

So… tomorrow is wednesday which means UNI! woo! haha AND THIS MEANS MPO (managing people and organisations) there is a reason why i love this subject so much and this is because in my tutorial there is a guy called ACE!! yeah thats right ACE! Ace… ace… what an amazingly cool name! a guy with a name like that has to be cool in real life! well… he didnt turn up to the tutorial last week so i couldnt really tell if he is cool but still! he has to be…

Uh… Oh before i go there is a competition on myspace to see DEATH CAB FOR CUTIE!! LIVE!! at a secret show!! “To enter just tell us in 25 words or less the name of Death Cab For Cutie’s latest album and your favourite song. Send your response along with your MySpace URL to shirst@myspace.com sigh… and this is where i failed… here is my response…

Death Cab For Cutie’s latest album is Narrow Stairs and my favourite song is Cath… because the lyrics paint such clear images in my head.

yep… how generic.. i dont think ill be winning this one… i hate my self for this shitty response…

anyways i think its about time i go to bed, so ill end it here for today…
