A bit more Toby Rand

A quick update on life in the Snoskred world –

1. I got some skype credit and I was in a bit of a mood thanks to a mod from a forum I hang out at. To put my happy face on I tried to call some Nigerian Scammers about 5am their time, but the inconsiderate bastards had their phones switched off! Now how can they wake up to me swearing at them? So I just emailed a few of them angrily instead.

2. I am feeling better mostly. But throat still painful. :(

3. I had ordered a pink pool cue to go with the pool table, they forgot to bring it yesterday. They delivered it today to the other half at work. This could present a problem – see 4.

4. My parents still do not know there is a pool table here. I sense Armageddon style implosions when they do find out. Especially from my Mother, who is against people having fun in general. ;) And who suffered several months in fact more likely years at the hands of my Dad who bought a pool table which he kept in the shed then decided he had to build on a room to the house to accommodate it, so he took down the shed at which point the pool table moved into the lounge room taking up a great deal of space while a swimming pool was put in and then a big extension to the house and for all this time she had this huge pool table in her way – she made a board of wood to go over the top of it and used it to fold laundry on, she used it as a buffet table, and finally when the room was almost finished, Dad decided to sell the pool table.

5. Yes, my Dad is completely loopy! Scientists have confirmed it.

6. I have now played some pool and I have to say, the table is gorgeous. It is stunningly beautiful. I really love it. More pictures on the way, once I get the good camera out today and the cover off the table. I don’t think the other half will speak to me from now on unless I am playing pool. ;) I think I can spare a little time from my scambaiting to do that and I really should spend more time away from the computer, right, guys, right? ;)

7. If my parents find out how much that table cost, you will be able to hear me screaming once my Mother gets her hands on me from wherever in the world you are reading this. The only solution to this is to lie. However the other half and I better agree on the lie before we tell it otherwise things won’t work.

And then I forgot the Toby! Here is his original from Rock Star : Supernova. How can you not love a cute blond Aussie singing?

Karma Police

This song I had never heard before Toby Rand performed it on Rock Star : Supernova. It’s kind of got stuck in my head. Not as much as the Lukas songs have, but from time to time this just turns up. And really, I think one of the lyrics speak of scambaiting. ;) “This is what you get : When you mess with us”

Realistically, people do not realise just how good we scambaiters are at digging up information. People also do not realise just how much information they have put on the internet about themselves. Go google yourself. Google the names you use on forums. Google your email address. Google anything you can think of that might relate to you. And while I may be one of the world’s worst googlers, I have scambaiter friends(seriously if you are looking for something Sephy is the man to ask) who are the world’s best googlers.

Even if they can’t find a script for Clear and Present Danger online, mainly because it *isn’t* online anywhere, given enough info they can track you down.. ooo be wary when you mess with us.

I miss rock star, don’t ya’all? I keep watching things on you tube so I can get my Lukas Rossi fix..

Guy! What are you *thinking*?

First just let me say that I adore Guy Sebastian. I think he is a brilliant singer and devastatingly handsome. But his stylist must be on some drugs, or he is picking out these ghastly outfits himself – and his girlfriend Julie Egan, girlfriend! what is up with your fashion sense? ;)

I don’t pretend to be fashionable in any sense of the word, to be honest I hate clothes with a passion. However unfashionable I may be, I know that what I’m seeing in these pictures is wrong, very very wrong. Please, you guys.. get help. Seriously.. :) And sack that stylist.

keep off Austar, leave my channels alone! oooo

It seems that Austar, the local pay tv provider, has decided in their wisdom to fsck around with the tv channels. As in, they’ve moved them around so nothing is in a logical place, many of the channel numbers which I had *just* managed to memorise are now completely irrelevant or don’t exist, and this is really really irritating!

I’m going to go sit in front of it so I can get more annoyed. :(

How did I not know this?

nirvana

You will of course recognise the man in the middle of this photo as Kurt Cobain. But who is that next to him with the long hair?

I never knew Dave Grohl was in Nirvana until I flicked past a doco on Nirvana and found out that he was the drummer in the band. How lame does this make me sound? However, it seems I was not the only one. I found this out about two weeks ago now and I have since asked a lot of people who the guys were in Nirvana, and 80% of those surveyed said “Kurt Cobain and… wait, who were the other guys?”

You may not have recognised him in the pic above, but this one you should.

Please comment – did you know this? Or has it now come to you as a surprise?

Lukas Rossi won Rockstar:Supernova.

I was really not happy when I heard he won because I think he’d do better on his own, but now having listened to some of the music I am starting to feel better about it.

In other news, The Other Half has apparently been drinking a lot of beer in Thailand as it is the only thing he can get in a bottle and sealed. He doesn’t normally drink beer, and he sounded heartily hung over when I spoke to him. He’s ready to come home, he said.. ;) He gets back Sunday Morning at 6am. Good thing he made us a new washer, cos suddenly ours seems to be not well. :( We may not make it to the arrival of the new one, we might have to walk washing down the street.

I’m going to go and watch the commentary track on A Knight’s Tale – I started watching it but never got to finish seeing it yet.

Lukas Rossi Update

Lukas Rossi, formerly with the band Cleavage, currently a member of Rise Electric and currently competing on Rock Star Supernova is through to the final episode of the show. This is great news!

However more importantly it seems a few people are finding this blog by searching for his name or his band name – please note, you can find more info on Lukas as well as songs by the previous bands and songs from Rock Star SN here.

My favourite of the past songs with his previous bands, I could not name one specific one, I like them all. Some of them I am still hearing for the first or second time only and I find with Lukas’s work it takes a few listens to really get the song and what it’s all about.
