There's this weird meta-Batman movie on TV at the moment - it is simultaneously the story of how the show began, and Adam West and Burt Ward investigating a mystery, in the present day. As themselves, not as Batman and Robin. Weird.
Anyway... Our show last night was all kinds of awesome. The band on before us, The Viet Nam War, brought along a shiatload of people; and since they put half of them on the door, they gave up their share of the money, which ended up being huge regardless. That, and we played real well, the new stuff came together, and there were heaps of people up dancing. Our last show at the Dog's Bollix lost us $60, this one made that back probably three or four times over. Very nice!

tariqa's gone to Christchurch to hang out with Alison (kiwialicat). Unfortunately, I forgot Jesus doesn't allow alcohol sales on his day of death, and I forgot to prepare! Was planning on perhaps playing poker with Flik and some of her friends tonight, but she forgot it was Jesus Day too. Stupid ass religion.
I bought this computer game, Black & White, and it's pretty funny. You're a god, you have villagers, there are other gods, and so on. But what's cool, is you don't necessarily have to be 'good' - you can frighten your people into worshipping you. Also, you have this magic creature you ahve to teach from a young age. Mine's an ape, and eventually he got sick of the grain I was feeding him. I gave him a sheep, and he ate one, then said he wasn't going to eat another. Same with a cow. So I gave him a piece of his own poo - yes, he does poos and needs to be toilet trained - and he ate it! Then chundered everywhere, and got angry... yeah.
At the moment I'm getting pretty good mileage out of throwing large boulders at villages that haven't yet converted to worshipping me. And any game that allows me to say "At the moment I'm getting pretty good mileage out of throwing large boulders at villages that haven't yet converted to worshipping me," is pretty awesome, by default!
