 | Through the mist of a drawn out basketball diet, there were other things to be had on the menu of reviews. Running away from things that will always have your back when you're asleep and others looking to crack that skull as you're watching that extra rerun, it spins and you're dinner. Savage bestiality isn't on for the course, of course.
Octane energising gel http://www.thewaxconspiracy.com/onehand/zen/188 "I had nothing to do but stare at the ceiling until I eventually passed out from boredom." From Shangrila Labs, these sachets were provided during a preview night of RESIDENT EVIL 2. The packets were filled with an ooze designed - or so they claimed - to reinvigorate the person who had the balls to apply this gunk to their face, neck and shoulders. Results did vary for each applicant. The packets themselves nearly shredded the umbrella they were transported back home in.
Viktor Vaughn - Vaudeville Villain http://www.thewaxconspiracy.com/onehand/zen/196 "I shot some savage craps when I bought this CD, and I guess I did pretty well..." Atmosphere and energy are the driving forces behind this little project, the science of it featuring a pretty much non-existent narrative mix. Gloria Jeans and WATCHMEN were the bookends to this scheduled meeting in the city before a stern look from higher up suggested a two hour lunch isn't a great idea.
The Art of Oddworld Inhabitants: The First Ten Years http://www.thewaxconspiracy.com/onehand/zen/197 "...there's a sense that they could possibly churn out another..." Ballistic Publishing have put out a book collecting the sketches and art from the Oddworld Inhabitants series of video games from ABE'S ODDYSEE to STRANGER. The arrival of the book remains a focal point in mail conflict and transportation procedures.
Weight-lifting gloves http://www.thewaxconspiracy.com/onehand/zen/193 "...explains a lot about stupid goddamn muscleheads..." Declare this at customs, the package it was sent in was slapped silly in stamps of some guy in fez and dusty in white powder. Half of the envelope face was all stamps, only a small space was given toward the address of The Wax Conspiracy. They also forgot to include the right hand.
The Burlesque Hour - The Studio, Sydney Opera House - 02/11/04 http://www.thewaxconspiracy.com/onehand/zen/183 "...a fashion parade of a freakshow nature? Or a high end and intimate carnival act? Or both?" There was a Canadian ahead in the line and her skirt was getting shorter on each step toward the box office. Not a trick in perspective, the denim was pulled down several times lest the late-comers were seeing more than expected and earlier than planned. Do you realise they'll check umbrellas?
Bad Santa - George St cinemas 10 November 2004 http://www.thewaxconspiracy.com/onehand/zen/185 "Belligerent. Grouchy. Drunk. It's pretty much what a rollicking Christmas comedy needs..." Collecting a flood, the watchers watching on this preview night snapped up half of the allotted, and only half of those turned up. So there was major disparity between those numbers expected and those seated. One quarter of those in attendance were given some homework.
Squeeze and release, the year is done for. Speak no more of the ills suffered as we dive feet first into 2005. Brace yourself, the world is in for some more charity and wise-cracking.
Out.
