Chronicles of a broken jaw

A grey headed orange mustached walrus-dog, a checkerboard whisker faced feline, painkiller induced dreams and visions, and a freezer full of frozen soup

The last two weeks of my life...






Meeowww

Here in my car I feel safest of all

We love roadtrips
We missed our turnoff to Daylesford and almost headed to Radelaide, but a quick turnaround and a good bush bash got us back on course
Set up our tent in the back of our friend's holiday house, and kept warm by squishing the 5 of us in a 3 man tent 




Me, Millballz and Mothcontrol ended up going for a late night adventure walk down the road, and lay on the road watching the stars. Fear of traffic then persuaded us to head back to the tent for a few hours restless sleep, before heading off again first thing in the morning


We made a number of pit stops on the way back to Melbourne. First was Macca Dees for breakfast. Then to 'The Cross'; a rather bizarre hill with little prayer rooms and the stations of the cross around it, and a big neon cross on top





We continued to head back to Melbourne, but the sun came out and we felt our adventure was not yet over. Another course change lead us to Caitlin's house which burnt down in the Black Saturday bushfires. We found dress-ups in the shed and went for a wander in her mum's Japanese garden and soaked up the sun

Kiss and kill me sweetly


We got a pug for the long weekend.
Its name was possibly oliver or chunkers.... or just pug.
The only song I could think of was 'pug' by the smashing pumpkins.
Its a good song. I don’t really know how much it relates to pug but.

Anyhow one balmy, frosty Saturday morning I decided to take pug for a stroll through a tour of the Carlton parks- argyle square right around through all of Carlton gardens. By taking for a walk of course, he did most of the walking and I just followed

A grand escapade.






We found this tree, which we stood by for a while. I liked it because I tried to find out how many faces I could see in it. I think pug just liked the smell of it.



Pug was good at finding things. while he wasn’t that good at finding faces in trees he was especially good however at finding random things to eat. He ate a lot. Usually other dogs poop, or leaves or muggy puddles. This was one of his best finds. I think there was pizza in it.




We ended up walking far and wide, high and low, crunching and through foliage, skipping through puddles,






I miss pug.

Fuck Art

Last week we had a creative spell and turned our plain old, ordinary garage into The Slut Alley Factory.
It is our new kick-on den, and creative space. I bet the neighbours will love it when we get the drums and a guitarrr in there. Ahhaha owned!

Bendirat Part 2

The next morning we all woke up with about 15 minutes til check-out. We somehow managed not only to get out of our hotel within 15 minutes of waking up, but also made it to Macca Dees within half an hour for the last few minutes of breakfast menu.

We again hit the road, and headed to Bendigo for Groovin the Moo =)

Millballz and I didnt have tickets, but when we ran out of ideas on how to sneak in, we decided to just buy tickets. And oh it was worth it!
We made awesome new friends,
We chilled in the sun and listened to mad tunez,
We danced and sang along to Art vs Science "Parlez vous francais? HEy. Parlez vous Francais? HEY",
We ran out of cigarettes and had to ask randoms for some,
and we saw De La Soulll and so many other great bands.

When the sun went down we got sooo damn cold that we just had to bail.

The car ride back to Melbourne was nice and mellow, drifting in and out of consciousness, venturing deeper and deeper into the almost endless tunnel created by the car headlights on the tree lined highway. Only the occasional car zooming past in the opposite direction would remind me where I was and that I wanted another cigarette.
Then all of a sudden we were back in civilisation in Richmond. Bendirat was in the past. Our beloved roadtrip was over.

Bendirat Part 1

We planned a roadtrip to go see The Scare and Reptiles on Friday night in Balarat, then head to Bendigo on Saturday for Groovin The Moo. None of us could have possibly expected it to be as much fun as it was.

The drive was awesome. There was music blasting, cigarette ash flying, gin and tonic spilling. We had nuts and Mary Jane by the bagfuls.

Before we knew it we were stopped at a servo 15 minutes from Balarat to get fuel and food. Me, Millballz and Daniel were on a nut diet by this stage however, and wanted only cigarettes and a drink refill, then we were back on the road.


When we got to B-rat we found our hotel, got changed into our sneaky disguises, crushed some more nutz and headed to Karova Lounge for the gig.

Millballz aka Electra the secret agent

Hahaha Rattus
Before the bands started we took charge of the pool room and jukebox, and created what I'm sure was a horrible sight. 6 kids running around with wigs on and shoes off. Lying on the pool table. Sitting on the floor. Singing 'Tiny Dancer' into a pool cue. Spilling beer. With pupils like dinner plates




These people are absolutely amazing


Karova was pretty quiet, but in all honesty, we were making enough of a ruckus to make the place feel full (And we were so reckless on the d-floor that there was really no room for anyone else haha)

The Scare are mad cunts, and of course Reptiles rocked it too as usual. Unfortunately they all headed back to Melb town after the gig, so we had no choice but to kick on without them



Part two to come....

The Leaf Series

An Autumn Sunday afternoon spent at LOLpark, where all lovers, dog walkers and FuLlY SikZ kICks-2-kICKS, each alike, congregate .

and therefore withered and weary we found refuge in-between the copious amounts of desiccated, crisp leaves.
