Once there was a disciple of a Greek philosopher who was commanded by his Master for three years to give money to everyone who insulted him. When this period of trial was over the Master said to him, "Now you can go to Athens and learn Wisdom." When the disciple was entering Athens, he met a certain wise man who sat at the gate insulting everybody who came and went. He also insulted the disciple, who burst out laughing. "Why do you laugh when I insult you?" said the wise man. "Because," said the disciple, "for three years I have been paying for this kind of thing and now you give it to me for nothing." "Enter the city," said the wise man, "it is all yours..."

So I went for a job today at the Convention Centre. Yummy. I felt really dirty at first waiting around among hordes of the similarly unemployed. Or greedy. Yes, greedy for work. But then I got into it - was in a really cheery mood for some reason, talking to randoms. Made me wonder how I am actually like when I'm normal and not feeling the effects of one thing or another. Talked shit with the best of them to the interviewer. He said they'll call me. I replied, keeeewwwll man (accompanying hand sign included).
January goes slow this year. Only twelve days have passed. Whoa!
How fascinating a person would I be if I had superpowers.
Having a completely open slate with no deadlines is starting to sink in more. What will I do with the time I have in the near immediate future? Fuck knows. What am I going to do with my life even? I might try to be a musician. A proper one. Yeah, maybe I could do that... But getting used to the lack of deadlines will be hard to overcome. I guess after 12 days of mostly nothing, I'm ready to start to do something again.
Hopefully finishing Okioki recording tonight. Swoit.
Currently flogging the new Album Leaf CD. I liek it alot.

Life is pretty out of control at the moment. In a good way. Lately everything seems so right - people, places, things and other stuff. Everything just feels very comfortable I guess; nobody's a stranger and generally having an amazing time with a plethora of people. Very festive indeed. The new year is coming soon and I'm excited. I literally do not have ANY plans for myself beyond '06 at this point. I do not have a job; I have finished Uni; my bank account is practically dry and will hit ground zero once the new year comes in I suspect. My plan until new year's is to consume every consumable thing I possess so I will basically start the new year with the cleanest slate possible. It feels good. So by following this plan, new year's eve should be absolutely wild times and if you are you, you should come to Amplifier to celebrate with me and also, to see Okioki play. We are on first so you'll have to be fairly keen but I promise it will be worth the price of your kidney in Russia.
Tests conducted in Swaziland have proven that being in a band makes you at least 15% more attractive.

edit:
I forgot something important - I do have plans for next year.
Deep down, I'm still clinging onto some hope that this could be for real so if anyone knows where to get any of these materials/books, let me know. I need to get them very soon! The term begins on January 15th!!
(It came in the mail, accompanied with an equally authentic envelope addressed to me. I still have no idea did this but whoever it is has got to be the most awesome person ever.)

Oh dear. I'm really not quite sure what happened last night but it definately was all good. What a weird experience. I have to say I have never felt how I felt watching the films last night, especially ours for obvious reason. Hands down, the most nerve racking experience I have ever gone through. Nothing can compare to last night which is really weird considering it did not involve any sort of public appearance or anything, just showing our work. But yes, I think if I was sober throughout the screening I just would have just exploded with nervousness but it was okay going through it in a state of confusion trying to comprehend how this could effect me so much. But it was just a combo of sheer luck and maybe something else that everything went down well technically and general reactions also seemed to be positive so yay, yay, yay.
"In nine months time or so, there will be a film playing at Luna Leederville saying: Directed by Jamie Lim. What the fuck? Way to intimidate myself. This is going to be an interesting year anyhow. As some sort of realistic goal by the end of the year, which is a bit lame because goals are pretty lame all-over, is to get this film to become all types of awesome and to get Okioki off the ground." 20/3/06
Intimidating indeed. December is the month of reflection and looking back now, this year has been epicly good to me. Let's hope the good times keep rolling and snowballing.
(Two massive shows coming up: X'mas Eve at Amps and NYE also at Amps! The lineups will make you poo yourself. Check it)

I knew it was too good to be true. Even with nearly every measure taken to make sure that the new version of our film would be the one screened at Astor tonight, it's not going to happen. Apparently because there's no tone or colour bars at the beginning, the retards at Curtin are not able to master it to the final tape that is going to be screened. I called this morning after finding out then was given no option to try and fix it. Fucking hours and hours of fixing it up, making it nice and glossy and now this.
So this caps off my University experience. And this year has been mostly great but it's just the whole shitstorm that is the Curtin FTV department that works against you to making the film that you want to. These corporate assholes obviously don't have any idea about making any sort of work that they're proud of. I'm so glad to be out of this institution and hopefully make films that do not have some unseen stamp over every frame saying 'STUDENT FILM'. I usually shy away from using names in this place but - Fuck you Michael Cunningham. Fuck you Ken Miller. I hope you guys are stuck working at that place for the rest of your lives never to do anything worthy of any recognition whatsoever. Which is actually very likely anyway. Fuckers.
This, and our reception playing at the Curtin Tav this year has left me with an final impression of the general Curtin student body that makes me never want to go back to that place ever again. Curtin University is bullshit.

A poster stuck on the wall told me last night that we are playing with Bob Evans on NYE! Haha. Awesome. I actually only moderately like the guy at best but for some reason this has got me very fuzzy and excited.

Well, it was a goddamn uphill battle these last couple of days trying to do everything I want to, but the film is done! Done to the point where I've tried everything I wanted to do, even if all of it didn't work out, at least I tried, and it finally feels finished. I am over the moon. So very happy right now to have something that is completed. So this coming Monday, 4th of December; Astor Cinemas in Mt Lawley; 6pm; be there! It's a gold coin donation event, so it's practically free! Come, check our film out, check the others out too (they are mostly kickass (really)) and enjoy!
Sex Panther EP launch tonight! Okioki @ 8:30! Happy times.

TEETH : My most popular requests for dream interpretation are by far, dreams about teeth falling out. Apparently this is quite disturbing to people who have this dream...they simply MUST know what it means! In my experience, a dream about one's teeth falling out usually symbolizes that the dreamer is having a challenge getting their voice heard, or feelings acknowledged. This may be referring to their conversations with a particular person such as their significant other, boss, or friend; or can be generalized for people who are shy, to include almost everyone they come in contact with. The dreamer needs to brush up on conversational skills, believe in the value of their own opinion, learn how to be less intimidated by aggressive people, and become more assertive and make their voice heard. Once they do that, this dream (which is a common recurring dream) should evolve & show improvement...or disappear altogether.
---
The Dreamer's Dictionary says "losing teeth is a common symbol in a dream indicating a change in the way the dreamer assimilates what is learned." Some people accumulate knowledge, never using what they learn. This is wasted energy. To assimilate new ideas you need to "chew" on them. The old ways of considering ideas are out-dated for you and you can look for new ways that are better suited to you now.
