In which Matt is introduced to the cast of characters!

AWW YEAHHH MUTHAFUCKAS TIME FOR A BRAIN DUMP

This week has actually been pretty excellent music-wise! I found out the Bees are releasing a new album soon, I'm seeing BRMC in less than two weeks and the Gorillaz are coming to Perth in early December! I only really got into the Gorillaz after Plastic Beach was released this year. Before that, I knew most of the songs from Demon Days, but that album was released while I was still in high school and I didn't have the money to buy any albums, let alone singles. Instead I'd get my DARE fix listening to the radio, like most teenagers.

But ANYWAY, shortly before Plastic Beach was released I became increasingly excited, because the sheer concept of a fictional band playing in a real world, with a fictional storyline influenced by this real world is a total mind-fuck. Bet most of you didn't know the Gorillaz even had a storyline huh? Well, they didn't with the first album, but with Demon Days each music video was like a film-based puzzle piece, contributing to the overall plot. They even published a book of sorts about it called Rise Of The Ogre. Check it out some time.

I ramble. I know. That's the inner fangirl in me desperate to escape through blog-entry form.

Well what else is going on with me? During my fortnightly job-seeking activities to please Centerlink I found THE PERFECT JOB. It's a part time position, in an independent school, no more than half an hour's drive away, with a late third term/early fourth term start, everything I want. I'm now working on a resume to submit by early next week. If I got this job, it would solve so many problems for me right now - particularly in terms of finances (and moreso if I intend to purchase premium tickets for this Gorillaz concert).

As much as I enjoy waking up at midday and eating cereal for lunch, being unemployed is getting kinda boring. I'm sure I'll renounce this statement once I am formally employed again, but it would be nice to start saving for my world trip so I have enough saved not to have to skimp it. And by the way, starting next week I might reduce the amount of comics per week to 2-3, simply because I feel I have a reasonably sound collection so far. Some nights I find myself spending upwards of 2 hours on a single comic, and that ain't right.
