BBQ Stomp & Fundraiser this Sunday @ Perry Park BBQ Fundraiser Stompalicious!!
....noise provided so BRING YA TOYS ;~)
(thongs and boardies welcome)
There are moments when the community we are part of, and care for can come together to help out some of its members that has done the same for us in the past time and time again.
To this end, Speaker Huggers, friends from Ixchel and REGEN would like to invite everyone to perry park for some sunshine and some stomping tunes.
Delecious BBQ goods will be availiable and donations will be accepted to show our support, strength and unity as a community.
Background:
About 2 months ago - some very special peoples home was fire damaged beyond repair by a freak unexpected fire.
Lucky for us the house at the time only contained there possessions.
So the good news is that these integral members of our scene that have given everything to it are safe and sound and finally into a new home.
Lets celebrate their new begining and help them to stomp of the ashes.

Patricia Piccinini's Related Individuals exhibition opened at the Roslyn Oxley9 gallery today. I adore her work.
www.roslynoxley9.com.au/artists/31/Patricia_Piccinini/1124/
This solo exhibition includes a selection of new and recent works, including the Australian premieres of two substantial new figurative sculptures: 'Doubting Thomas' and 'The Long Awaited'. While predominantly sculpture, the exhibition also features the first public presentation of Patricia's latest video work 'The Gathering'.

| Note to Baz- don't stuff up! |
[Nov. 5th, 2008|06:24 pm] |
Close to 3more hrs on the phone with Citibank today. Finally go onto an Australian rep. Problem was then fixed in 8 mins, with the exact result all the other operators told me was impossible, ie. direct transfer into my account, full refund of all fees and an reason for the stuff up.
They then offered me a direct contact, so I could keep my account open and not deal with offshore call centers. So, I asked how many staff where in this country, answer 25. I said no thanks, I may have a line to decent customer service, but all your other account holders don't.
sheesshh
lesson is, don't give up.
Total time wasted = nearly 5hrs..Including a trip to the post office to present ID, which I later discovered was not needed.
again Citibank for the win!! in the back way
and
GO BAZ!! I did a happen dance. I like to imagine redneck heads exploding right now.
Makes me all excited and teary, the way I got about Kev. I like hope, I like community, I like it when people get together. Now Baz, be good. |

[Nov. 4th, 2008|06:33 pm] |
How the hell does a bank cheque bounce? and why do I have to pay dishonour fees for it bouncing?
Chirst on a bike!!
Now I have to submit a written request for the cheque to be reissued, along with 100 pts of ID, which I have to get verified at a Post Office as well as a copy of my other bank statement showing the deposit and dishonour fee to stupidbank before I can get the cheque reissued.
Took me 1hr 18mins to get that information on the phone. Pity the banking ombudsman is in VIC an on a public holiday today, or I would have spent more time on the phone.
Thing is I closed the account because of poor customer service. Citibank for the win! |

hello,
today's request is courtesy of my partners credit card bill. After much pleading I've offered to help get him out of debt. Never trust a hippy.
Anyone know who is offering a zero or low interest on balance transfers for a credit card, right now? I normally just watch out for the ads on TV, but have no TV plugged in right now.
Also wanting a health fund offering immediate cover, if you know of one
cheers.
ps. thinking about compiling a map of the best street pie places in Sydney, there are some gems out there. |

new user pics is rather annoying, but illustrates the only way I'd be able to do a decent visual show nowadays,
Things must be getting better, Aldi no longer fulls me with fear.
Street faeries were very kind in Balmain last night, we found.
1 wooden bed frame
2 sets of drawers
small bookcase
Bed just needed 2 screws, which was very easy given the BOX of cordless drills I found the other night. Last night was the first time we have sleep in a raised bed in months. Bedroom looks smaller, had such a good night sleep.
The drawers are fine, just needed a clean. Which, given my new knowledge of industrial cleaning chemicals, took maybe 15mins.
I did however have to buy coat hangers today. When to Victoria's Basement warehouse sale, but couldn't bring myself to buy anything, have to be so very careful with cash. Did want to buy a Bunnykins plate.. Rang my mum to ask whatever happened to my bunnykins plate, she didn't answer.
Now I am flagging, but there is so much to do.
tail still hurts, a lot. Harder to ignore. Did find a place in Marrickville Metro that sells Salonpas, will give that a go. Salonpas is truly great. |

I've chipped my tail bone. That will happen for I am Damage. Nothing I can do about but swear. Hurts, but I'm going to ignore it.
hea! People are kind.
Yesterday I realised that someone have swiped a heap of my prescription medicine, for recreational, selfish purposes. Today, someone gave me one of his. No point in being narky at the bad, I'm reassured by the generous.
The good continues, how nice is it that friends of friends arrive at my house with a trailer full of stuff, that I need? Very nice I say.
Today I went stuff collecting. We now have:
today
- mattress!! (major joy after sleeping on the floor for 3 months!)
- bed linen (woot! clean sheets! double woot! hello kitty sheets!)
- towels
- A vase (which I will use to start collating my rocks)
AND
- a fridge!! go the cold! spent the last 2 hrs cleaning it, I'm so good at cleaning.
- a wok
- a coffee machine thingo (so good as I can now bribe sasha out of bed to lift things with more ease)
- A toasty sandwich maker.
- loads of glass jars (sasha will sort his shed bits into these)
- box of latex gloves (always handy)
Yesterday - a mind bogglingly kind random action resulted in
- large bookcase
- small bookcase
- fairy table (which this puter id sitting on now)
- 2 lounge chairs (again in use now. I'm going to recover and funky then up when/if my sewing machine gets going)
- a yoga ball, which is bliss for my sore butt butt
- assorted linen and pillows.. Enjoyed those pillowcases last night.
- 2! boxes of kitchen stuff, most of which went straight to the pool room.
- shoes and boots!! for my feet, nice comfy ones.
Thursday
- a old puter was built for us out of various parts, it works! now I have the internets.
- a big old telly (works, just takes 10mins to warm up)
and from the street fairies -
- small set of drawers
- two very large god paintings (I'll use the frames to hang some funky textiles in)
- 2 box sets of ally mcbeal DVD's (hea, I'm starved of entertainment - the street fairies will get them back)
- old, but workable wardrobe
- large church pew style bench (perfect for veranda..when its fixed)
- hang of new, sealed, padded coat hangers.
- 2 brand new, taped and sealed floor rugs.
Most likely have forgotten stuff. the quest of stuff continues, guess I'm being needy. Reached the point a while again where I said "bugger it, I just have to face the reality that I need help" and the surprising thing is that people help. Makes me all reassured.
House destroyed at the start of August, is nearly November. Wonder when this sentence of hard labour will end? At least I've gotten fitter, much fitter, growing muscles even. Funny how people keep saying that I'm looking really good, when I've lost weight from stress, gotten fit from working so hard and learnt how to develop panic attacks. good diet. yeah, but no..Meh, you just have to accept what comes or it will drive you mad.
reckon I need a nanna nap..Nawh, I'm going to finish scrubbing the fridge and try and find my little cat. either that or nap. Who can tell?
woof. |

| stuff!! |
[Oct. 24th, 2008|09:29 pm] |
we have a house
I have the internets
I have a large amount of kitten hair, and a rowdy and excitable cat
luky i like camping, cos its kinda like that. Only in a house.
I'm now actively collecting stuff. any stuff. Stuff for house. Stuff for puters, stuff for studio.
We are right near reverse garabe (again), so I figure the best thing for me to do is ask "do you have any spare stuff' any any doubles or extras can go to revers garbage or the bower.
So, do you have any spare stuff? or possibly stuff that doesn't quite work, Sasha c fix most things?
I have a little car, so can do pick ups, but time is precious so I can't drive to far...sometimes we get the work van, but its random. Or you can could visit and marvel at the stack of smelly belongings in the garage.
We kinda need everything, from clothes pegs to network cables, to books (my books!!), you name it.
So...got any stuff.? :)
I promise i shan't burn this house down. |

| advice needed -interweb providers |
[Sep. 29th, 2008|10:42 am] |
I need advice. I don't have time to research, so many someone knows.
I need a new broadband/cable internet connection for the house when we finally move in. I don't want to pay for a telephone, don't want a home phone connected. We don't download much, I think we had about 7gig before, which was fine.
So can anyone recommend a cheap provider, who doesn't insist on having a telephone line connected as well?
thanks. |

I got a house..Its to expensive and very large, seemed the only way to secure a property was to go up a notch in rent, but whatever, we have a proto home.
Now another 2 weeks to wait till we move in.
we have been homeless for 2 months now. Quite bored of it now.
So I shall soon be hitting people for the kind offers of "stuff" that were made ages ago.
But, my macbook has been serviced, it has no keyboard, but it works.. And thats a good thing.
Still looking forward to the day when I can just sit in my home, on a lounge and watch a dvd and pat the cat.
Here are some pics of our previously lovely house.. Anything that isn't black is something that we cleaned.
Close to the epicentre, main pc work area. blank space along the wall on the right used to contain 3 projectors, a couple of video cameras and other vj crud.

I think Real Estate agents are sucking my soul out.
I need a home, why is it so hard to find one? |
|
|
| its been a month! I want normal back..please |
[Sep. 15th, 2008|10:01 am] |
hello,
I've run away to my mum's, until we manage to get a new home. This is sad. I need some mother action.
I'm not easily contactable, email is best..vjdamage @ gmail dot com
thanks again for kind offers, when we finally get somewhere, I shall be chasing them up. At the moment we have to live out of backpacks and anything extra we have beyond the bare essentials (ie work clothes and a toothpaste) is difficult to store.
sorry for being a sook. I'm normally tuff and stuff, really. |

| | none | ] |
Here is a list of things that we lost in the fire, nowhere near comprehensive,but it gives an idea of the extent..I don't need them all back, not asking for them,but its been suggested to me that I should put it out there that they are gone, and maybe I could get something back. Sucks being me without contents insurance, totally my fault that I let it lapse. What double sucks, is the thousands I have already spent on rubbish removal and cleaning.
SO, if you have any of these things spare, or know of anyone who does, would really appreciate. I don't really have anywhere to keep things, yet. What I need most is a home. I guess I am asking people to have a look and a think, maybe put thing aside. I will be able to pick things up when we get a place.
Sorry... I don't like this, I don't like begging. I think I am all out of dignity and pride. I am tired and sad and sick of it all. (also don't like playing poor me)
Thank you to all who have helped and made offers, I am afraid stress has made me stupid and I have forgotten about a lot of generous offers, or not replied. Sorry, its appreciated, really,please don't take lack of previous replies personally,its been a hard time.
Best contact is vjdamage at gmail dot com or my phone

thank you for all offers for help. Just got back from another cleaning shift, at least I am getting fit.
Sorry, I can not respond to your kindness right now, to tired, to confused. Thank you. I shall be in touch.
I'm ok, Sasha is OK, the cats are ok, for now. The kitten thinks its a great adventure. The sock monkey scrubbed up well enough to be hugged. We are warm and fed.
Its like suddenly being evicted and on the same day someone spraying everything you own with black sticky gunk. Very overwhelming, but we will cope.
I must try and sleep now, want to be back there early tomorrow.
Thank you, it is very reassuring that people care. |

hello livejournal people
Yeah I haven't been around for a while.Now I'm going to be one of those friends you never here from unless they need help.
Last week my house caught fire, a laptop battery combusted and the result is everything is our house was burnt or covered in toxic, uncleanable black toxic soot. We are pretty rooted (including my vj gear). We are also exhausted.
Help is needed. Everything has to be moved out of the house and dumped, and the few things we can be salvaged need cleaning before they can be stored. If anyone has a few spare hours, could you? We have been at it for a week, with just a few hours sleep a night and its getting really difficult. Even just doing a run to woolies to get garbage bags is a huge help.
We also have a recently desexed teenaged kitten who needs a home, at least till we get a new place to live.
A new place to live is needed, does anyone know one? We are ok, staying with friends in the short term, but will be looking for a house in the inner west and we all know how hard that is. Just dont have the time to house search.
And, yeah, if you have any household or computer items you have been meaning to throw out, could you hold onto them, cos when we sort this shit out we will be needeing them, we have very very little left.
Sorry for asking, I hate it, but I am past the point of having dignity or pride and am annoyingly getting sick so less able to cope.
ugh.. so not expecting anything, but just trying.. labour is the thing I need most of now. And a house for the kitty (who is now called sooty)
my number is 0403354972
would post pics, but don't even have a usb stick or data cable..but at least we have a shitty camera :) |
