cheesey room entry

Farrk! today i nearly knocked myself out at work.

Trying to do a wicked entrance to the cheese room and to impress Ross (I was sort of hyper and felt like killing some energy), I ran at the cheese room door to burst through the blue plastic hanging flaps (how else do you descibe them?) with a sick fly kick inwards. It would have been awesome... but i didnt really consider the height of the door and the height of me (im part of the european foods tall crew). So my forehead slammed smack into the top of the door and i flipped backwards onto the ground with my feet flying above me.

Ross was concerned.

And to my surprise i wasnt hurt or concussed.

Ross laughed at me and called me an idiot.

That was my day.

*Six* Ruby St

The bad-boys of 5 Ruby St had something very rare and of high value at the beginning of 2007. No, not a shared-network goldmine of porn downloads...

a vacant and rentable room!
for the modest weekly price of $60 (or $8.55 a day).

Gene returned home from Europe to his $200 per week* flat, a casual job picking and packing orders at a respectable food wholesalers and a dream. A dream to continue exploring the atlas, first-hand. Something didn't add up.

"I'm really bummed about shit right now," Gene said one evening during a game of one-on-one b-ball. "Work is boring, rent is too high and i really miss Mel." His shot clanged off the rim and was rebounded by Macca.

"Coup's lonely too man," Macca suggested. "Perhaps you could just have some casual." Pump faking Gene into the air, Macca kissed the ball tenderly off the backboard and into the net.

"Gross man. Coup's hot but he's not really my type," Gene replied, with some impressive crossover dribbles. "Plus he has major poobs." Point taken.

"Well, what else can we fix? Hey, we have a spare room, you'd be saving over $150 a week if you moved in. And you'd make our rent cheaper too." Colm cheered from within the house. Macca drained another trey.

"Fuck yeah. Is that cool? That's a great idea man. I'd save so much money to travel with, wouldn't have to work as much at Euro's... plus i could live in this sick house. You're awsome!"

"I wish i could say the same about your game. I win." With that, Macca bounced the alley-oop to himself, and while slamming home the winning points, he slapped a sticker of his face at the top of the backboard.

And that's the way it is...

Rhys' Film Ep.II

Rent Inspection #1

We passed!!!

!!!

(we failed the last one, and they threatened to evict us if we failed this time)

Terrorists Hold Hostages at European Foods

At European Foods (where Gene and I have worked for the last 5 years) i have always had morning tea up on Lake St at the Re Store. So does Malcolm. Luis and Rhys do too.

Anyway, Rhys (pictured) is studying film part-time at some institution, which is funny cause i always assumed he was a dead-head full time employee like everyone else at work, going nowhere. About a month ago i asked him about the course, and ended up volunteering to act in a 15 minute feature film he was to write and direct.

About terrorists...

Filmed on location at European Foods.

I was a terrorist who falls for the saucy hostage babe, Gene was a cop/counter terrorist/grand enterer and Liz was the aformentioned saucy hostage babe.

Stay tuned for more movie news.
