Thanks for the clippers magic, Fishy!  Good to hang with you guys.<br \/>\n&#8212;<br \/>\nThe wind managed to rip the roof off our conservatory.  Huh.  Stupid weather!  And just when I&#8217;ve acquired a taste for sitting out there in the morning sun (when we have morning sun as opposed to morning torrential rain and howling wind).  I suppose this demonstrates nothing so much as proof that <i>things fall apart\/the centre cannot hold\/especially in a southerly<\/i>.<br \/>\n&#8212;<br \/>\nSaw Kora play Sunday night &#8211; wicked set.  I liked but didn&#8217;t love their EP, but the live show carried out the beauty of good gigness.  Their support, Budspells, was a surprise as they took their opening dub\/reggae sound (appropriate for a band named Budspells) into rap and then into uptempo house\/dub fusion stuff (rather unexpected for a band named Budspells) &#8211; the crowd was going wild for them.  Hella good, and I came away converted.  Only downside were the few foolish bodies who were a bit of a nuisance.<br \/>\n<b>Were You A Fool?  Try our quiz and find out!<\/b><br \/>\n(1) Did you spend most of the gig with your back to the stage and your fists in the air, surveying the crowd for hot chicks to hit on?  (Yes &#8211; 5 points, No &#8211; 0 points)<br \/>\n(2) Did you walk backwards into me from the side so I turned around to get a face-full of hair? (Yes &#8211; 3 points, No &#8211; 0 points)<br \/>\n(3) If yes to (2) did your hair have the approximate dampness of a sponge that&#8217;d been sitting in a lukewarm pool of water for an hour? (Yes &#8211; 2 points, No &#8211; 0 points)<br \/>\n(4) If yes to (2) did you do the same thing again half an hour later on the other side of the room?  (Yes &#8211; 8 points, No &#8211; 0 points)<br \/>\n(5) Did you carry a full wine glass or handle of beer into a wildly dancing tightly-packed crowd?  (Yes &#8211; 2 points, No &#8211; 0 points)<br \/>\n(6) Did you leave the broken remnants of your smashed glass\/handle on the dancefloor so vigorously dancing people were hopping up and down on shards of glass?

It&#8217;s a local version of one of those where White Neonazi types put up photos and address details of people involved in peace actions or who happen to be Jewish.  I stopped after finding a friend prominently featured and a couple other acquaintances namechecked.<br \/>\nStill, it&#8217;s reassuring really.  There are only two or three people involved in the whole enterprise, and they&#8217;re laughably inept and certain to be under heavy police surveillance.  This isn&#8217;t a big city where that kind of thing can actually form into a proper subculture without check.  As much as it disturbed me to see a friend depicted and abused on the site, if I actually start treating the site as anything more than a joke then it&#8217;s sold me on its own bullshit.<br \/>\n(Similar sites in other countries with larger population bases are a different kettle of fish, of course.)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I lost 30 grams of weight without changing my diet one bit!
