lensip max Posted October 11, 2010 Share Posted October 11, 2010 Everyone at school today was saying "How could you not laugh at Dikshit?" and I said "well, noone else on the show was, it's called professionalism and consideration of others".You win. Your schoolmates I'm not so sure about though. Vic will suit you, I think. (Vic is where you're going, right?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am going to Vic. School decided for me by screwing up my Hall application for Otago, but I was 90% sure I was going to Vic at that point anyway. Can't be bothered going to school for the rest of the year I'm so close to not having even do the exams, although I will of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so, do you know which yet? *Senile, and can't remember when people get the news* 7th form exams are a bit of a joke Because I'm like, the most epically responsible person ever, I'm looking after my 11yo cousin for a week from tomorrow. I'm looking forward to it heaps. Also, the end of exams. Not that they've started yet, but y'know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

_Ed_ Posted October 12, 2010 Share Posted October 12, 2010 When you first realise what it is, it's like, "What? No. Come on. Honestly!" But then it turns out that it works. And it is really fucking fabulous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spy Fox Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 I'm getting really worried because Hall offers for Vic are supposed to be out on Friday. The Otago ones were sent out four days before they were said to be, so perhaps Vic will be early. I keep checking my email awaiting the message Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Sammy! Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 Everyone at school is freaking out about accommodation stuff too... I'm barely even fussed on my application for uni itself it's such a freaking long application though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Ed_ Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 The Krispy Kreme cheeseburger is proving popular at the World Food Festival in the United States. It is just what it sounds like it might be, a meat pattie and cheese served on a Krispy Kreme donut. The burgers have been described as tasting like a stick of butter. For $1 extra, burgers came complete with chocolate-covered bacon. Eww! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoBear Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 Krispy kremes are amazing but possibly a step too far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoBear Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 My first year at otago there was a huge accom shortage that my hall asked people to share rooms. It sucked as the dining hall wasn't big enough for all the extras. They should have gone ahead with the cruise ship plan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

_Ed_ Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 Definitely. The same could be said for McDonald's burger I just saw an ad for - a Mega Mac, with no fewer than FOUR patties. In other news, it's a beautiful day here today for once. And I'm seeing TNAF tomorrow. All is well with the world. Don't remind me about my thesis, please.

_Ed_ Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 Awesome! They put a good show. Ooh, do tell us how their show goes! Wish I could have the chance to see them. Will do. You never know - they're playing a few shows in the UK next month, so they might pop up in the States some time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davinq Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 Knowing my luck I'll miss them anyways Seems that every time a band comes in from off-continent, events conspire against me. Missed Biffy Clyro, Mew, Karnivool, and Klaxons this year alone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Sammy! Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 What a good game of netball... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Ed_ Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 The cricket was good too. Sure we lost, but Kane Williamson was amazing. Maybe the 'next Martin Crowe' hype was justified. And Bennett was extremely fast when he bowled. Fired in some deadly 145kph yorkers. Love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoBear Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 (edited) The Phoenix Foundation are playing in Napier And I can go because I'm 18 my first phoenix foundation gig was in early 2005. i was so off my face and the pub where it was was really small that they didn't even have a raised stage. i spent the entire gig trying not to fall over into sam's mike stand. i remember telling my friends after that i really liked the song about fish and they didn't believe me. i bought their first album and there it was "going fishing". after i took a poster from the bathroom and after my friend and i seriously considered breaking into subway, making a sandwich and leaving money on the counter. subway was never closed at 2am, we were gutted. my friend was so drunk i had to put her socks on so i found the ugliest pair possible. and later on she kept going on about how she didn't understand why she was wearing pink socks. should be a good time. i've enjoyed every phoenix foundation gig i've been to and i've been to a few now.

I don't think my night will be that exciting, noone wants to go with me. I'll still go by myself though, just have to sort out a way of getting to Napier and back. Also, the netball was great, so exciting. And what I saw of Kane Williamson was exciting, even if the rest of it was not so much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

_Ed_ Posted October 15, 2010 Share Posted October 15, 2010 (edited) My verdict on The Naked And Famous - holy fuck. I'm honestly a bit speechless. I might be able to better describe it at a later date. They've come so far since I saw them play a short support set on August 1. They were very promising then, but tonight they were incredible. It was a great light show and everything, but the best part was their stage presence and energy. It was sold out, and they were obviously loving the noise the crowd was making. At one point Alisa said "this is UNBELIEVABLE!" And when they came back for the encore, Thom pretended to be annoyed and was like "*sigh* OK, OK..." Setlist (pretty sure I'm remembering it right): All Of This Punching In A Dream A Wolf In Geek's Clothing (extended) Spank The Source The Sun + a minute or so of a cover of something, but I haven't figured out what it was Frayed Eyes No Way Jilted Lovers (extended) Girls Like You Young Blood Dadada Crazy? Yes! Dumb? No! (very heavy and moody Mint Chicks cover. Have to say I liked it far more than the original) Edited October 15, 2010 by _Ed_ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
