Email with TLJ:
TLJ: Thanks for the html stuff babes.
S: Hosemobile weren’t playing last night in the end! Drum fucked up the dates.
TLJ: So when are they playing – sat and sun? and with the same bands??? same venues??
S: They’re playing tonight at the Iron Duke and Sunday at the Globe. I’ll probably go to the Globe on Sunday. Not sure who’s supporting – it just says Special Guests.
Luckily we found out before going. The girl Craig is practicing with, Bronwyn, was there and her boyfriend Troy. They’ve only been here since Jan 4th – from Virginia, USA.
TLJ: What does the girl do? is she the guitarist/singer – have you heard her? is she good?
S: She plays guitar – it’s just guitar and drums -no bass – sounds interesting. Not sure if she sings – maybe. We could ask them tomorrow.
TLJ: Yuri rang – his birthday dinner is 20th Feb (i hope we haven’t planned anything that day).
S: Are you taking the 19th off?
TLJ: Started to read Kabuki last night but I’d better start from the beginning – so you’ll have to lend me them ok?
S: Did it look good? I’ll lend you them for sure – you know that babes. I know you’ll look after them.
TLJ: Oh, and Laura gets back this morning – so i’m planning on meeting Mich after work – I was supposed to go to see “Shakespeare in love” with school friends, but if laura’s coming over for dinner tonight (her parents are coming), then i’ll skip the movie and see if mich wants to come home with me and laura, mich and I can catch up.
Sound like a good plan?? Sounds like a great plan. I’ll be catching up on some ZZ’s tonight. Hey – I saw fireworks at Darling Harbour last night – was near chinatown – was kinda difficult to see – I was driving past – but may have been to do with CNY.
TLJ: So i probably won’t see you tonight – i thought you may be going to that gig but i guess not.
S: I’ll miss you babes – I wanna pour more water over you!
TLJ: mail me
S: No – oh all right!
TLJ: There was this real dickhead, sleazy guy on the train who thought he was sooo cool, and he was trying to chat up this girl and her friends whom I think he met yesterday (well, that’s what i figured from my eavesdropping – it wasn’t really eavesdropping though, he was speaking so loud, i’m sure he wanted everyone to hear him). He wanted to go out with one of them, but he already knew one of them. He was sooo pathetic – got to tell you all about it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
S: Chinese New Year Celebrations sounds like next weekend – I’m not sure. I’ll go down on Saturday anyway. I’m stuffing myself with last nights dinner – it’s delicious – gets better after a day in the fridge! I’m so tired – i can’t wait to go to physio and have a nap!
Love you angel breath
S: I got here at 7.10 and there’s no parking spots and I swiped a barrier and dented my car!!!!
And just as I was writing that – my boss comes and asaks what I’m doing around March 7th for a week – I’m thinking oh shit what’s all this??? Anyway BMC who make the product I work with are offering to pay for me to go and get some training in Houston Texas!!!!!
Oh man………
S: I can’t get that song Crossbone Style out of my head…..AAARRRGGGHHHHH
“I have seen some unbelievable things……”
Man -I’m shitty about my car……but stoked about Houston! You got any money…….?
TLJ: Don’t have any money – but you still got to do some Duty Free shopping ok? Oh yeah – should I get myself a camera? I guess i’ll miss you. Not too many asian girls in houston though. will you cope?? Tracs
S: I’ll miss you like crazy baby!!!! Can you come with me???? I’ll be calling you…..

8th Sep 2024 – I believe this is a reference to what one might call a driving lesson. In the dark suburban streets next to TLJ’s house, I would park around the corner, call her and tell her to sneak out. I was always so thrilled when she showed up and predictably couldn’t keep my hands off her (and she felt the same).
As we were in my little Hyundai there wasn’t much space but thankfully she was a small girl. We were sat in the driver’s seat, her on my lap facing forward, when I started the car and took off the handbrake. I told her to steer whilst I operated the pedals and we slowly buzzed around the crescent excited at the thrilling possibility of being caught in a compromising position.
Ni shi wo de pengyou.
Wo shi ne de pengyou.
Just practising. I’m bored bored bored. Oh, and tired. I’m looking after HJ on Saturday night so won’t be out with Craig (did I tell you about that – he invited me out for dinner and a gig at the Globe on Saturday night – will have to catch up with him some other time). I’m thinking of driving to Melbourne around Christmas time. Brad, the dude from Adelaide moves there next week and we agreed I should go down there sometime and Christmas would be the perfect time. I’d rather be in Taiwan though, with you, of course! Look forward to seeing you later babes.
