Well saturday started around 11am. I had been out the previous night for Toms 18th and well, some drinking. Matt and Sam had come all the way from Canberra overnight and got in around 4.15, not long after I got home.
Anyway I had decided to have a BBQ lunch, and seeing as how it was nearly lunch and not wanting to spoil my appatite I skipped breakfast. I messaged the guys, Adam, Heath Panaho and Wayne to come round at 1.30. Wayne could not make it, however we were to see him later in the day. It was around 2 when all the snags were cooked and we got to eat, with Adam, Matt and myself sinking back some cold drinks. We spent the afternoon catching up and watching Family Guy and Entourage while enjoying our alcoholic bevriges.
It was aound 5.30is when Adam Matt and I left for the RSL for Camerons 21st. We were to meet up with the other guys later. Dinner at the RSL was pretty good, and what was crazy was Tamika's 19th group was just a table away and it consisted of people I knew from work.
Adam, Kasey and I left the RSL around 8.30 and walked up to the bass bar. A journey that saw me having to listen to and endure the drunken antics of both Adam and Kasey. But they made me laugh. $5 at the Base Bar got us in to see Duck Puppy, a new band with original music and on Bass was our good mate Wayne. The turn out was great. Panaho met us up there.
After Duck Puppys set and a song of the next group Panaho drove us to the Vic carpark where he decided his car would remain for the evening in order to enjoy some drinks with us. We walked to the Capital, got stamped and then headed back to the Vic. Straight to the Bar is where Panaho and I went, ordering 2 tiqilas and a chaser afterwoods. A random girl at the bar decided we didnt have enough salt on our hands, and so took it upon herself to give us more. My palm tasted saltier then the sea I think.
We then went and in the corner near the back bar rocked to the band playing which was none other then the Mighty Yak. We had a bit of a chat with Luke during the break before I headed up to the Capital.
Inside the Cap was almost every person I know it seemed. Tafe mates, work mates, old school mates. It was just a great night.
BBQ lunch, Rum, Rock, good Mates, and Dancing with a pretty girl.
Like the title says, Saturday was a good day.

Aussie! Aussie! Aussie! / "No one's going to play Bulls on Parade!"
Well it has been almost a month since my last post, slack I know, and this really sux to all my undying "lachlans World" blog fans, (those of which I dont think exist, I dont know if anyone reads this.)
Its 2008! I havent said that yet, and so far not too bad. A lot has happened in a month since I think about it, but nothing overly exciting to post about, no. I said I havent blogged in about a month, but it feels like forever since I have blogged about my weekend out on the town. Yes thats right, another adventure that only can come from a Saturday night of unexpected awesomeness and fun. I think its best to begin at the begining.
Saturday 26th of January, Australia Day. (well just in NSW apparently). 5.45AM. Thats right 5.45Am, thats when my alarm went off. Why would you wake up at 5.45Am on a Saturday you ask? And on Australia Day?! well I had to work. 6.45AM till 3.15PM, which means I missed the Aussie Day races, but not to worry, I had the afternoon to rock out and celebrate the country I was born in.
So after how ever many hours it was at work. 8 and a half actually. I worked it out for you. I wasnt going to, but then decided I would.
I left work to go pick up my mate Adam who was coming around for a few drinks before we went out to dinner. Sam also came round cause she was hanging out with my sister. They also were coming to dinner because well, why not? the more the merrier. Adam and I would have had more people come, but our other mates were either working late or out of town, and one not even in this country! This means you Wayne.
Anyway after 3 rums, and the simpsons movie, and some family guy we were ready to go. Hogs Breath for dinner. $30.00 later (not including drinks) and a full stomach, we were ready to leave Hogs Breath and hit the town, as some people migh say. By the way that $30.00 meal was a steak, and totally worth it. Oh I might mention that on this particular evening I was being rather patriotic. I was wearing an Australia Day T-shirt I had made and had some Australia flag fake tatoos on my wrist.
Frst stop, the Vic, and it was packed, havent seen the Vic so packed in a while, which is a shame reall cause its a good place to go out and have a few drinks. The band at the Vic were, well, a bit shit. They attempted to play "killing in the Name of" by Rage Aainst the Machine, but failed. At the Vic I met up with some of my mates from work, and played a game of pool with Kaseys boyfriend Chris. I also saw Claire there.
We left the Vic at 11.00 and headed up to the Capital with Adam and I in high hopes that Luke would be playing at the Saloon. "Man I hope Chisholms playing!" Also I spent that time saying: "I want someone to play Bulls on Parade, I have had that song stuck in my head all week and that would be so cool." And what was Adams response? "No ones going to play Bulls on Parade!"
Around an hour had passed at the Capital and the Saloon Bar had finally opened its doors. I walked in there to discover non other then Luke setting up his guitar. I ran back into the Capital looking for Adam. "Chisholms playing in the Saloon!" We went back to the Saloon to talk to Luke before he started playing. I know the name of his band now; "The Mighty Yak". They opened with "you really got me". Adam and I like it whenever Luke plays because he is an awesome guitarist and his band plays covers of a lot of songs we love to hear.
More time elapsed and Adam and I did our usuall laps around walking from the Saloon to the Cap and back again. On one occasion we entered the Saloon Bar to hear the Mighty Yak playing "Bulls on Parade"!! We ran to the dance floor and rocked out to that for a while. When the crazy guitar solo came up Adam and I just watched Luke play. It was nuts!
End of the night in the Saloon came and they ended with more Rage against the Machine. The name of the song; "Killing in the Name of". It was awesome. There was like this mini mosh pit happening, everybody shouting at the top of their lungs; "And now you do what they told ya!"
3.00AM, closing time. We left the Capital and walked up the street and sat down a coupla chairs away from JD's kebabs. Adam got a Kebab and was annoyed he could not ring Wayne who was in Paris. (Do you know what they call a Quarter pounder with cheese in Paris? Royal with cheese, lol).
After sitting down for what may have been half an hour talking to randoms about upcoming films and old comic books and cartoons we left to fincos (if thats how you spell it). Heath and Adam dragged me there, (not literally) and we sat out the front talking for around half an hour waiting for the taxis to come along and fill up, as well as the other randoms who came and went.
It was about 4.30 in the morning when I got a taxi home, and around 4.50 when I got to bed. Wow, if I had of stayed awake another hour then I would have been up for 24 hours. Crazy.

Saturday, Saturday!
You have to sing the title in tune to that song.
Ok, yes, Saturday.
Well I went to work on Saturday, but a small shift only 3.30 til 6.30, and that wasnt very exciting.
Went to Waynes new digs, Adam was all ready there, killing at Guitar Hero. I had a go, and I think its safe to say that... I sucked! lol. Nah, it wasnt too bad, I started to get the hang of it. We went out at, well, I cant remember what time it was, but we walked to the Vic, which was cold, as it was a cold night. Didnt stay there for long as we ran into Kel, and she took us to some party at the Saloon. Felt like such an intruder.
Lukey Luke the rocker rocked up, as he was to be the entertainment in the Saloon for that evening. We chatted to him for a bit, and we had to leave the Saloon, and get back in Via the Capital doors, but we didnt have to wait as we had already been stamped at the Saloon, which was cool.
We hung around the Cap for a while, waiting for the Saloon to re - open, as we wanted to hear Luke's band play. They were good as usual. We rocked out to them most of the night, as they played good and familiar songs to us.
I like going out. Just need to find a girl to go out with. lol, its the only way you can enjoy the Capital. That or a carton of Rum. lol. Nah its not that bad. JUST PLAY SOME NEW SONGS FOR FUCKS SAKE! lol.
Ok, yes, Saturday.

Give me some Skynyrd! / You made out with my friend!
Ok, Starnge title, I know. And I know your all thinking Lachlans on the drugs, (and for those of you who dont know me... that was a joke. Because I know your sitting there thinking, "oh my, this person was on drugs, then wasnt, but now is back on them and - " NO. your wrong. Remember kids, drugs are bad. Except the ones that make your headaches go away).
Anyway from that small piece of pointlessness comes this blog of Random that are to in someway sum up the events of a Friday evening I had. Last Friday. And oh I know that the formations of type on a computer screen can never really live up to actually living the events, but you will just have to use your imagination.
It all began with a fairwell party to be held in honour of someone I work with because - you guessed it! He is leaving. So this particular function was to be held at Romano's a local Pub and hotel. They, being the people who organised the fairwell, had hired out a private room upstairs. I know "Private Room" sounds a bit odd, but really, what else do you want me to call it?
I decided to go to said Fairwell after people had asked if I was going, and Trent said he would only go if I would. So I decided to go. The night cost me $10 before I even got there! (but its ok, I made it back on the Pokies). Anyway on that day i had agreed to attent the function little did I know how crazy and lolworthy the night was to become.
It started out normal, I met Trent at woolworths, and we then walked to Romano's. This was around 8.30ish and at that time not many had arrived. We went upstairs to the Private Room which consisted of a small dancefloor, some tables and chairs, food on some of those tables, and a small bar which unfortunatly for a female staff member, she was to stay at for the majority of the evening. Oh, and a Karaoke machine, which by the way I might of sung on if they had played Jonny B. Goode.
As the night went on people were getting drunker and the Karaoke machine was working hard with people huddled around it wanting their song to be next. All I wanted was Sweet Home Alabama. "Put on some Skynyrd!" I would shout. But did anyone listen? no.
So about halfway through the night, not expecting to see chicks I might fancy until I would go downstairs to the main bar, Shannon rocks up with some girls from Kooringal woolworths. One of which I kinda fancied. However nothing happened. I'll get to that in a little bit.
So there I was, I had just sat down, as Trent had gone to... Fuck knows where Trent went, lol. He was smashed. So there i was, sitting there, checking this chick out, thinking how I might go over and start talking t them, when she comes to me. Guess what she said? "You made out with my friend!".
WHAT?!
I pretty much said that to her? No I didnt I said. Yea you did, I saw you down the main street. You should talk to her. I tried to keep talking to this girl because, even though she mad no sence, lol, I was interested. She looked pretty and this kinda crazyness she had about her was a welcome change to the evening. So I tried to keep talking to her. And after about 2 hours, I dont think I ever got her real name. Oh and when she draged me over to go and visit her friend, who I had suposidly made out with, my name was to Mark. lol, wtf?
So yea it was kiinda fun to hang around these randoms because quite frankly, I didnt know what was going to happen next. But this girl, it became apparent that she was eyeing of well, I wont give names. So I left them alone to later discover she was infact 21, whilst the guy she fancied is only 17. lol. So when she told me that they had kissed, I asked her friends if she knew how old he really was. When they said no and I informed them that he was only 17, there was much laughter. I dont know what happened to them befre the night was out, because I left before everyone else.
But you know what was cool?! later that night I discovered her friend, was a Tarantino fan. She had the Pulp fiction soundtrack and everything. Plus she knew Rodriguez stuff. So I spent the last 10 minutes of my night out talking about Tarantino and Rodriguez films. It was cool. wish we had of started talking about it earlier.
Sorry this was such a huge post.
To sum up:
Fairwell Party
No sweet home alabama
Drunk Trent
Crazy, but fun Kooringal woolworths randoms
I apparently made out with someone I have never met down the main street as a guy named Mark
Won $10 on Pokies
Talking with random (sorry I cant remember their name) about Tarantino and Rodriguez.
lol, Crazy Fridays.

Grindhouse Soundtrack: Planet Terror!
Ok, first of all, Wayne, you rock! If it was not for you, I would not be typing this, and I would have not listened to the "Main titles" of Grindhouse 20 times today. (probably more).
I love this track, it rocks! Rodriguez, you are the main man! Not only do you produce cool films, you make awsume tracks to go with them. I just wish Grindhouse was here already in Australia. But we have to wait! At least this music will keep me entertained. This is a probably a too excited and almost child like Lachlan, and his post for the day.
Ah, I fell like some kind of a kid in some kind of store.

Thursday 15th March: Music and Audio
Today we watched parts from American Beauty and watched the Shawshank Redemption to get a feel for music, how it can be used and what might make good music. I felt I learnt a bit with both films adopting the if its serious make it silent. Meaning if something important, serious or dramatic is happening in the scene there was often no music. I guess this helped build up the tension. But for whatever reason, it seemed to work.
