A runny nose is far more symptomatic of a crappy disposition than of the quality of the recycled air from your office air conditioner. If you thought about all the sniffled-on hands that grasped the handrail on the train home from work you were clutching every night you’re bound to fall into a malaise at the prospect of a fountain of sadness cascading down your dry, pursed lips only for you to copy the grimy deed and pass the freshly soiled handrail onto the next poor mug. So best not worry about those prospects and instead magnify the awesomeness of being royally tops. Flip a coin then spend it, preferably with some companion cash on ice cream. Imperial Mandarins are cranking at the moment so you should pound as many as possible before their short season is over and you’re left with the highly overated Honey Murcotts. Likewise Pink Lady apples are good now too. Not as good as about a month ago when the market was flooded with these amazing waxless ones. Still the shiny numbers are crisp, in fact I’m going to have one right now. Jenny got me into snorting salt water to clear nasal blockages. It’s like being dumped at Portsea Back Beach except there are no soon-to-peak hip teens judging you from the sand dunes and your t-shirt doesn’t stick to your salty back annoyingly when it dries. Alternatively you can always wear more clothes, drink less booze and coffee, stop taking drugs, cut down on eating bread and watching Carlton lose as they now actually show their games on free telly. Or maybe carry on as you were and just try not to stress, it’s boring and will make you the sickest of all.
The Bowers have had a mega week so far playing “Studio A” on Channel 31 on Monday night and at The Toff last night with The Custom Kings who played ace new material. Spencer bought me a Whopper with Cheese after the show, thanks man. The freshest one I ever ate. This Saturday night we’re playing at The Tote!!!!!!!!!! Burgered between The Drones’ own Mike Noga & The Gentlemen of Fortune as well as legendary Chromenip Joel Silbersher & The Baggage Handlers it starts at 9pm and we hit it at 10:20pm.
Also don’t forget THE COMMUNITY CUP THIS SUNDAY AT ELSTERNWICK STADIUM. Liam and I are both lining up for The Rockdogs against my first love The Megahertz. $5 donation, heaps of bands and footy spills. All money goes to Reclink.
