What's one night got to do with an exam period? It's not like you'll have to attend afterparties or pump yourself up with any chemical substances before the show. The Chems is all the chems you need and with a strong cup of coffee the following morning I'm sure you'll feel better than any given morning before.

The problem is that I have to take the train to go to Paris, and if my exams end in the evening (what already happened), I won't be able to go to the venue in time.


























You're a nice target though, so DIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIE !!!!!

I really need a better dive light, last weekends dive...

That's too bad. Hope you'll get to see them next time then.

That looks class lad! I went diving when I was in Thailand and got my Scuba PADI for the sake of having one! Loved it, quite a sweet experience! Do you do it much like in Austrailia or just oacasionally like?

Try to dive every weekend, 2 dives. My mate has a small boat and we live 5 minutes from lots of good dive spots. Not tropical as you can see, and it is a lot of work getting all the shit together to go out, but once you get on the bottom it is awesome. We usually do a deep dive first, 35m+, when you are that deep you are high on the nitrogen and even if you see nothing you come back thinking "that was fuckin great!!". It gets quite addictive.

Awesome graphics there Krisp! Perfect music to go with it too!

I never went diving before so I never gave a real appreciation to our underwater friends. Maybe life is much better down there than it is up here.

Freaking good footage of (correct me if i'm wrong) the Tigersharks!

All of a sudden, I feel the urge to jump in a pool!

Thanks mate. I always have trouble choosing music to go with my dive videos, that does fit nicely doesn't it. Pity I didn't get more footage so I could finish the song.

They are only Port Jackson sharks, native to Aus, Port Jackson covers Sydney harbour. That is about as big as they get and they normally just lie around on the bottom. In winter they are very common. I was amazed to get some footage of them swimming around.

I'm bored. I'm at work but can't work because the server where is the site I'm working on is full, so I can't write anything on it anymore. I'll have to wait til monday for this to be fixed.

I'm in class waiting to receive a training session on Lexis Nexis, which will be virtually useless to me because I used the site for years in various jobs to research law already...

Other than that, Sausalito Art Festival this weekend!!!

Aphex Twin just announced a couple of gigs for September. I can't get a weekend off to go to London on such short notice. F***. I'm pretty sure the tour will never reach Finland and I don't blame the guy. I wouldn't want to visit this shitty periferia either if I wasn't born here. I'll shut up now and bite my lip off.

Story time!

Yesterday I needed a little bit of time to break off from my group here in London. They're great but they can be a little loud and annoying at times. I decide to make a saunter down to Notting Hill to try and find a record store or two, mainly Rough Trade. After getting off the tube at Ladbroke and wandering around the less packed Notting Hill street (Monday was a mess with the Carnival) I find RT. Inside I start browsing through the racks and find that.....there is a ton of stuff I can find in here that I can't find back home. I’m amazed at how they even separate their sections by nationality in cases (I had a blast lokig throught the NZ/OZ section). I got stuck trying to decide on the new swoon remix EP, the new Soil & 'Pimp' single, the Drumlesson zwei LP, and the Roforofo fight Louie Vega mixes before I even head down stairs. I head down and get even more lost in my element. I scour the racks to find....a TPPR numbered vinyl!!!! My mouth just hung open when I found this. I snatched it up and didn’t let go. So what if it cost me 15 pounds, this was one for the arsenal. The rest of the time I picked out a few other records to listen to and chatted with the shopkeeps a little. My mind thought about how Tom or Ed may have browsed through the same crates that I was currently going through (ed stil lives in the area correct?). I left with my score of booty knowing that I would surely be back (also because the porttobello road had a few interesting merchants).

Now if anyone knows of any good record shops in London, let me know. I will surely have to hunt them down. Also, any suggestions on any rare broken beat jazz, or chemical influenced records (I’m looking at you eddy and klingklong). Also, any other rare cool shops in general.

@scales, where is the info on the Aphex Twin gigs? I might check it out.

The info is here. They're DJ sets and the tour seems rather small-scale but if I were any closer to the venues I'd definitely go.

Good hunting, I bet you'll bump into more goldmines in London!

Once again the Fujirocker strikes again! Good find on TPPR...I don't have that one! Glad your still enjoying your travels!

I always love it when you come into a new shop and find tons of new stuff! I want to get out of my regular comfort zone and hit up shops that are much further. Trying to catch up on some soul classics and a few Disco. I usually check the garage sales on the weekend sometimes to find stuff I haven't got. Recently got Gary Numan's - Pleasure Principle, Diana Ross - Love Hangover, and a few hip-hop joints.

Ryno, that's awesome. You seem to be making the most out of your London excursion and checking out the shops. It's good to be with friends but sometimes the greatest discoveries are made when you're solo. It's been a good decade since I've been to those parts but Notting Hill is a lovely part of town, Portobello Rd has amazing shops and it's great people watching too. Keep writing little stories about your adventures!

Just got a new laptop today (old one broke after just a week past the 1 year warranty ). My new toy's a Toshiba Satellite L675 - it's got a big 17 inch 1600 x 900 screen, ATI Radeon 4250 Graphics, and the best part, the Dolby Advanced Audio. The audio quality is freaking excellent, freq. range covers all but the sub bass, which is simply awesome for a laptop. Cost $650 but I got in on sale for $500! (totally broke now) Love this thing so far, hope it lasts!

Dude, new computers rock.

@Ryno: I'm jealous of your adventures, but glad you're adventuring!! My best and most safe wishes to you, amigo.

In other news, I've found love again... Good times...

New computers are fun indeed! I just got windows 7 on my Mac, very happy as many music apps are hard to find on the Mac, viva multiplatform.
Congrats pooter! How are classes?
