...and what alice found there

rancid

that's how my fingers smell right now. i never want to chop onions again.

but otherwise it was a success. people squirmed, teared up, walked out, and was just generally uncomfortable. and from this day onwards i would never view mud cakes, raw meat, or diet coke the same again. the only person in the audience who actually reads this thing being carilious, please comment and review. and i got copies of the dvd to give away. if you are interested in any of:

-porn
-autopsy
-shit eating
-general depravity

accompanied by:

-sigur ros
-mt zion
-george michael
-doom donut
-bjork

then i'll be more than happy to provide =P

feel much lighter now, though the impending doom of the realisation of the magnitude of overdue work is overwhelmingly pertinent. (yes this is why i'm not an english student)

the list of phrases i wish to use on people keep increasing, i've narrowed it down to three for the moment:

- You think you're chocolate but you're just chewing gum
- If i were any better i'd be twins
- You are merely a plot device

can't you tell i'm happy today?

he didn't come, and i'm glad.

I still don't know what to think about the performance, so I won't write a review, but I'll throw in some random comments. So in no particular order..

I really didn't know where to look sometimes, but I know that's what you were going for. If things got too much for me I'd focus on Alice eating the cake or cutting onions, cause hey, it was either that or watching anal insertions and shit eating. Easy choice.

Didn't find the caning and the butting out of cigarettes on skin all that offensive, but the girl next to me was positively squirming at these points which I found hilarious. (btw, you could tell you really enjoyed administering the punishment, haha)

What was really difficult to stomach was the smell of hair burning. Hated it, and it was particularly bad cause it was being burnt right next to me. Gross.

It was pretty uncomfotable when all the music was turned off and it was just the sound of meat slapping on skin and onions being chopped. Don't know why, but it just was.

I noted that the first person walked out around 40 minutes into the performance. I think this was when the autopsy film was being shown in the background. She looked pretty disgusted. I laughed.

It was funny when all those people sitting in the front row started tearing up because of the onions and had to put on their sunnies and some people even had to move to the back of the room.

Found myself starting to tune out a little more after each iteration, despite the fact it goe increasingly violent.

Amazing what you can pick up from Savers for under $10.

I can go a little while longer without having to look at chocolate mud cake, diet coke and berocca again.

I was the first to arrive and the last to leave. This was probably due to my extremely high levels of awesome.

That's all for now, I'll add more if more comes to mind. Thanks for the invite bubs, and don't worry about giving me a copy of the dvd :).
