> (I realize this makes me sound very old and curmudgeonly.) i still do the snail mail trading and not afraid to mention to A-man that i dont know or care about using torrents! it's much less a hassle to get a few shows on a few data-dvd's from the postman, convert the flacs to wave format and burn to cd if you dont have unlimited bandwidth. and being in australia, we have to wait (gasp) 7-10 days for the package to arrive! (personal to Bridget for helping along the way!!)

i'm also looking for jobs at the moment.. its hard down here as well. they're predicting the rate to jump to 8% next year, when it was only 4% a couple of years ago. most things i've applied for label me as either over or under-qualified for the position

i also like Modern Times, but i hope he doesnt re-hash it. he seems to like switching between laid back jazzy/waltzy songs and (errrm, borrowed) blues

they'd better hurry cause he's getting on a bit..

i've become lazy but i used to go for 2 hour bike rides along a trail beside the river. even though we're so close to the city, it makes you feel like you're in the country. how's this for being less than 5km from the city centre?!:

if the uncompressed youtube files are better quality, howsabout passing them on to Jesse for another DVD?... just a thought
