Technologybits!

2010-11-01T23:28:00.001+10:30

So, it turns out that when my MSN was dying, and I updated it, I also got some bits of the Windows Live software suite.

So this post is the first one to test out the Windows Live Writer program. It can post straight to my blog.

And Has all sorts of useless bits such as: headings, and, um, some other bits.

In other news, it will be busy in the future. There are several gigs or music festivals coming up that will surely occupy some much of my time.

Maybe then I will have something interesting to put here.

Today’s auditory curio is – WAIT, I have 2.

1/ Iron Horse. They play bluegrass covers of Metallica and Modest Mouse.

2/ I recently am listening to the Zarcorp Demo of Late Of The Pier, which is quite good to hear after so long of only ever hearing Fantasy Black Channel. Nice. Some of it is old songs that got reworked for the “new” FBC, and are rougher, and some of them are not on it. Yay!

Here we go again!

2010-09-23T00:22:00.000+09:30

Round and round the mulberry bush,
and round and round again.
Ok, that's not a real nursery rhyme.

Pointless

2010-08-29T19:34:00.001+09:30

So, I said that I would need to think of things to post.
Well, I have successfully forgotten to think of things about which to post.

Which means that this post will have to be about forgetting things. Or being distracted by things.
Which reminds me...

Do you know that feeling you get when you're trying to remember something, however trivial, and you Just Can't Remember What It WAS! And it's infuriating.
And you think that it will bug you all day. Until you remember.

Well, I worked it out.
It only bugs you until you get to the next thing that you can't remember, or figure out, or whatever. Then this displaces the old thing bugging you.

Et voila, ad infinitum.

There is a catch with this. It's like the catch of being self-aware while dreaming.
Usually if you (I) realise in a dream that 'oh wow! I am dreaming!', I just wake up.
So if I realise that I am in this infuriating state of brain-stuckness, it irks me.
Then I think about it for a bit. Then the fact that I am aware that it happens, and there are so many things that will just go unremembered as a result, becomes the new annoyance that replaces my previous worry.

Until something new distracts me...

Yay.

Movies and bits. Possible spoilers.

2010-08-18T02:12:00.004+09:30

So, something that I found interesting tonight was, well, found, after watching American Beauty.
I had already seen this film, although a long time ago. My recollection of that film was largely concerned with the Kevin Spacey/Mena Suvari subplot. I'm pretty sure that after finishing it last time (maybe 2003 or similar), I remember remembering that to be one of the more dominant streams.

After watching it again, it seems that perhaps I now see how minor it really is, and then the Kevin Spacey and the Boy Next Door plots come to the fore.
I honestly don't remember how much the movie was about Kevin Spacey from last time.

So, now I'm sitting here, listening to Cake, and thinking about actually blogging more regularly.
But that means that I will need to think of things more regularly to blog.
Hrm.

Also watched My Sister's Keeper, which was not as sad as the trailer made me think it would be. There goes my imagination again.

OH. And also, I started coming up with a list of movies to watch again soon sometime perhaps.
The Machinist, Pleasantville, Being John Malkovich/Adaptation (double movie sitting), Naked Lunch, 1984, 2001, Mars Attacks, and Fido, the zombie one, not the dog one.
Not all of these I have actually seen once, let alone again, but there you go. It's still a list.

Last ditch rustle

2010-08-04T11:27:00.001+09:30

Hoe-diggidy-down.
That's a party.

This state of disrepair has gone on far too seriously long enough by half.

But will no doubt continue.

Sorry, blog.

It's another new post!

2009-11-16T23:18:00.004+10:30

Well... Yet again, I've let this fall into disrepair.
Despite my best intentions, I never remember or think of things to blog about.
So I just don't.

I re-read most of my archive today, and I just don't have anything quite so silly to put in here at the moment.
Maybe later, after exams... but it's probably only because of the exams that I'm writing this anyway...
Conundrum!

Guess I could put something marginally interesting here though, so it is not a complete waste of a blog.

The interesting news of this week is that I shall be going to the Kate Miller-Heidke concert. In a box seat. Amazing, hey.
The other exciting thing is that this friday, at 11.31am, it is officially Holidays again. Thankfully.
Maybe I'll get around to doing something on this then, wish me luck!

p.s.
In other news that I just remembered, I started Bersaveru (Super Happy Discount Time) blog whilst "studying" last week, so that I can share superb specials that I may find.
It also should auto-post to Facebook... If I had a special worth posting lately, but nothign seems to have topped $1.45 FUIC.

And this is another post!

2009-11-05T02:12:00.002+10:30

I've done it again. I've managed to neglect this thing FOREVER.
But then again, I guess that not a lot has changed since last time I wrote here.
It feels like something noteworthy may have happened, but I can't for the life of me remember what it was...
Probably nothing...

There was a halloween party. I was slightly Mexican, albeit a glow-stick'd Mexican, having come from being on a boat.

I think that's about all for now. Maybe I'll make an effort to come up with something soon...

DAB and a chilli cheese kranski with sour cabbage.

2009-01-09T16:17:00.001+10:30

2008-10-30T02:42:00.000+10:30

Quick! This short impromptu post saved this blog from nearly two whole months of absolute neglect!!

It's been a while, I guess...

2008-09-02T23:29:00.002+09:30

Well, so much for my plans of keeping this place updated on a semi-regular basis...
It's been pretty much 1 month since i wrote anything here at all!

And I don't really have much to say at the moment either...

Here's the short update:

I still want a cheap drumkit, I think I'd like to give it a bash...
I like youtube mostly at the moment! In particular, I watch drum solo videos, and communitychannel, and justinge3, and may FAVOURITE one. Ahm Beached Is!!!
Ummmm... I also like the FantasticContraption. But don't play this unless you have a loooooot of free time. It's the best.
I still like my webcomics, and found a new one: AmazingSuperPowers.com

I guess that's it for the moment
I might be back a bit later...

He's escaping!

2008-08-02T12:40:00.001+09:30

This is the only way to escape tate's kitchen.

This is a thing

2008-07-27T22:54:00.012+09:30

Whilst I like the idea of the 'blog, when it comes to that time that I remember I'm actually signed up to one, I don't have anything to put onto it...

Sure, I could go off and post some pointless tripe about some 'hot topic' that I should probably have more of an opinion about than I actually do... But I'd feel like a hypocrite

And then you have those things running around your head that you actually do put time into thinking about, but they should probably stay there, or be brought up with the people that it actually concerns rather than potentially the whole world.

So, for now, I can post about a couple of things that have been occupying me of late...

Firstly, after I accidentally stumbled upon a reference to Metalocalypse somewhere, I have been listening to The Dethalbum. Dethklok is the virtual band created for the cartoon network show. The music created for the show is played almost entirely by the show's creator, I think. The music is actually pretty damn good.

Secondly, in the light of the news Diablo3 is officially in production, I've been thrashing Diablo2 again... But not vanilla! The Eastern Sun mod has made some fairly wicked changes - revised skill trees, re-allocatable skill points, a multi-page stash, a whole truckload of new items... And More!

And with that, I shall leave you all for now...

IT FINALLY CAME!!!!!!!!!

2008-06-28T23:40:00.002+09:30

FINALLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I think i will buy a new computer when it actually comes out

These are some fisch!

2008-04-09T14:39:00.002+09:30

I found these fisch at a shop. There were lots. Some were big and some were small. They were pretty. One day i might have a fischie or two! Though they swim too much to photograph easily...

Fantasy Band Time!

2008-04-07T19:20:00.002+09:30

After listening to some wacky music, and talking to Cait, I craved to listen to a band that I don't even think exists!
Specifically, I want to listen to a metal-ish band with a cheery horn section, and a mad honky-tonk piano solo. There are a few more things probably, but I will think of them later...

This will require a little bit of work to consider my options, but there are a number of slots in the band to fill:
Vocals
Guitar - Lead/Rhythm/Bass
ACTUAL Bass!
Horn Section (+ woodwind?)
Drums/Percussion
Keyboard/Piano

Then come the maybe things... Turntablist? Bagpiper? Tibetan throat singers?

When I can think of something better, with actual names, I will post the list here, with some links to samples/etc perhaps...
Oh man i wish they existed...!

2008-04-02T14:56:00.001+10:30

sorry friends!

2008-03-16T21:46:00.001+10:30

I know i promised more regular updates, but i've been pretty busy!!!!
I'll try and write something this week soon when i get a moment.
(gtg, time to watch some Popular!!)

Once Upon A Post

2008-03-03T18:42:00.008+10:30

This week was the Start Of Uni.
And the End Of An Era...
The Not-Uni Era. The Holiday Era... The Wikid Era...
I semi-had summer holidays, and tried cramming it all into last week. The result was interesting... It turns out that my week blurred into one big long day.

But anyway, me just recounting the events of my week will probably be pretty boring to read, so instead I shall post something brief and edu-taining about two things that crossed my mind at some point recently... (If you want more diary-like entries about what happened last week, just say something... except that requires that someone reads this page...)

Yes, that's correct, you guessed it!! Clowns and Trains!

Trains
If i was a train, my arms would be made of metal, and would go in circles like "chugga chugga chugga" whilst making my wheels spin. If any walls got in my way, I could smash them down!

Clowns
Clowns are actually quite scary, but the only reason I felt like being a clown this week was so that I could have really really long feet (inside my really really long shoes) and they would be awesome for balancing on things!
I could do all kinds of cool tricks with my new feet!

(I suppose I should post that Scary Clown came from here, and Wicked Steam Train comes from here)

It's about that time, eh lads?

2008-03-01T01:22:00.006+10:30

Happy Fun Time Greetings, to 1 or more Folk.

If you ignore that "welcome" post that I wrote just before, then it has been 1 whole year since i posted here.
That is a record for this place, I predict!

So much for me keeping this up-to-date, etc, but I have been out and about every day/night this week, busily keeping busy with busy things. And also several beers over the course of the week, but that's expected during O-Week (or is it- O'Week?), isn't it?

There isn't much news to post from this week, not thaaaaat many notable events....
- I saw SimeyApartment,
- I had FREE (yes, free!) MiGoreng (ignore that it was satay flavour) (p.s. more like salt-ay)
- There might be a jug in a fish in the near-ish future... or vice-versa... (whichever works)
- I clomb rocks. Note: clomb is probably similar in meaning to 'clumb'.
- I watched some Green Wing
- There were some fantastic card games created that I should probably chronicle here, so they are not lost to the sands of time...!
- and and and finally... nope, I forget... It probably wasn't important anyway...

It's off-to-sleep time, as I must rest up for strenuous tomorrow day...

Oh, and whilst I doubt there is a very serious readership at this stage (note to self: plan for world domination proceeding slowly at this stage... need more cowbell...), I often don't have much that i THINK of writing, even though it might exist in my head...
If you want anything specific, ask me please, it will make it much easier for me to write an update, then I also won't feel so guilty for not updating very often!

TTFN: That's All For Now

Greetings Folk

2008-02-19T19:57:00.006+10:30

Greetings!

How fare thee?

It has been many a long time since I made an update here - in about 2 weeks it will be a whole year since my last post! Omg!

I, amongst other things, felt like updating this page, and giving it a bit of a re-vamp. And maybe actually posting something of moderately interesting content in the near-ish future.
I read through some of my old posts, and some were long and boring, some were short and boring, and some actually I thought weren't crap.

I'm aiming for non-crap.

I also want to update my blog-list, but there are so many casualties in the Blog Death Pandemic - they are falling like dead flies! If you are active, and read this, and want a link, let me know!!

You can reach me via a comment, as I have no tag-board yet. I am working on that also!!

That's it for now!
Talk to you later guys...

t
(I doubt anyone has read this at all yet...)

It's been a long time coming!

2007-03-01T22:15:00.000+10:30

I know it's been like... well... forever since i posted anything here!

Uni is back up in full swing, like we've never left, and the less said about that here, the better :P

ANYWAY, i don't know what to say, so i shall write a little bit about some bands i am listening to lately.

Leaves' Eyes
This band is, according to wikipedia, a Symphonic Metal band. They also have Folk Metal elements, and are from Norway/Germany.
They are like nothing else i've heard, and Liv Krisitine's vocals just stand out so well!
You will enjoy it.

Arch Enemy
Arch Enemy is a swedish melodic death metal band. For 3 of their last 6 albums, the original vocalist was kicked off, and has been replaced by a former amateur german journalist by the name of Angela Gossow. Yes, that's right, a GIRL doing death metal vocals. Rock!
I enjoy them.

Lacuna Coil
I seem to be stuck on a theme of female vocalists today...
Lacuna Coil is an Alternative Metal band from Italy, with contrasting dual female/male vocal harmonies. Also, they feature keyboard as well, too.

I hope that's better than the nothing i've been posting lately. Also, i don't wanna do a big biography or anything, cos i know that I skip them mostly!
Anyway, i recommend these bands :)

For those of you who don't like any screaming or yelling or anything like that, Lacuna Coil is AWESOME.
Arch Enemy would be the most aurally offensive of these three bands though.
Leaves' Eyes has occasional growls (from Liv's husband, also in the band), but her voice is very.. angelic

2007-01-31T23:40:00.000+10:30

FINE thuc...
I should do something interesting?
HOW ABOUT THIS....

Ok, so there's nothing interesting here yet...
But internet upgrade means it is INFINITELY more possible that something will happen soon!
keep your fingers crossed!

Boring, and... A NEW GAME!

2006-12-05T22:04:00.001+10:30

OK! Been a while since an update, so here goes!

First of all, a short trip to victor, which included: body surfing at middleton, too much coke, and too many instant noodles (mie goreng!!!!!!!), and most importantly of all, Jacob getting hurt and making a mess.

Another highlight was the discorvery of Cheese-inna-can!!! WHOA!

That's enough recap! Time for new content!
I was bored, and couldn't think of what to do, so I came up with...
A New Game!
Go to Wikipedia and:
1) search for a random, innocent, innocuous THING. ANYTHING! (Like, ummm, DVD Formats, or The Three Stooges).
2) you are only allowed to click on links contained within the ARTICLE itself.
3) by following these links, see how FEW links it takes to get to a sex-related page.

(Based on the main purpose of the internet (bitching about movies and sharing pornography, if you believe the guy in Jay And Silent Bob Strike Back), this should be a simple task!
Also, if you post your initial search topic, and then the number of links it took, other people can try and beat your record!)

Blogger -> Google -> Carrots -> Rabbits -> Bond -> Bondage (6)

Can YOU find a quicker route?
(also, this would mean that any sub-tree of this particular sequence is now invalid for other attempts at this game)

Have Fun Kids!

I AM ZIIIIIIIM!! ZIIIIIIIM!!

2006-10-25T22:38:00.000+09:30

This is Gir.
Gir is Awesome.
Here's this pic!

I managed to fix0r my tab-board!

Also, i have watched Invader Zim recently. I heartily endorse it with all of my organs.
Visit wikipedia for Zim!
But here is the official site!

Watch it! Love It! Be invaded by it!

That is all...

[Zim's telescope is malfunctioning]
Zim: Gir! Come to the observatory!
[Gir's head pops out of ceiling]
Gir: Yeees?
Zim: What have you done to the telescope?
Gir: Nothin'...
Zim: You haven't touched it? Something is broken and it's not your fault?
Gir: I know, I'm scared too!

Zim: I put a tracking device on you.
Dib: You did? Where is it?
[GIR is grabbing the back of his head]
Gir: Your head smells like a puppy!

Gir: I'm gonna roll around on the floor for a while. KAY?

Gir: [Zim's compass magnetically sticks to Gir] Aww, it likes me.

Free iPods for all! Thanks cait! *

Long time no post, i knooooooooooow!
But i'll get around to it soonish, i promise!
Well, i HOPE i will...

see you all soon!

In a side note: Talk Like A Pirate Day!!!

New jargon!! PIRATE jargon!! (see below)

KOTT

Kittens or the Treasure?

Even pirates have unsolvable dilemmas, and sometimes it's just better to acknowledge this and move on. Pirates, like most people, enjoy the company of kittens. They also like treasure. Deciding between the two is very hard, and best put off.

KOTT will be used to indicate that such a dilemma has formed.

eg:
X: Tonight is the Big Rum–Off, but I promised the Captain last week that I’d help polish his peg-leg.

Y: KOTT eh?

YAAAAAAAAY

2006-06-28T12:55:00.000+09:30

HOLIDAYS!

HOLIDAYS!

HOLIDAYS!

HOLIDAYS!

HOLIDAYS!

Life's looking up atm!!

ever feel... anonymous?

2006-06-13T11:56:00.000+09:30

That time of life again, eh...

2006-06-11T14:31:00.000+09:30

Nothing to post about now...
It's nearing crunch time... Nothing can be done except panic...
And let one's self fall entirely into the pit of despair, wallowing in the Pre Exam depressions... and the general life depressions that always seem to hit hardest at this time of year...

I don't know what it is about this time of year, (academia excluded) that does this. I think maybe once you let something in and get you down, everything else that was bustling about jams it's foot(or feet) in the door, and just rushes right in... This is true also of things that would be merely insignificant trifles (hehe, trifle) at almost any other time...

But I suppose it's not all bad, just RequiresAComputer (or thought) to de-muddle the muddle...
And in time, confusions will fade...

So... Happy Long Weekend to all, and I wish Happy Holiday (hah!) Mondays all round!

Enough of my musings, it's time for the weather!

(cold, and probably rainy, btw)

This is a thing!

2006-05-22T21:31:00.000+09:30

Greetings!
I know that it has been simply AGES since my last ACTUAL entry of any substance…
And… and… and... this entry doesn’t actually have much in the way of substance yet either, and I’m certainly lacking the motivation to think of something not on-the-fly.
I mean, geez, that would require planning and forethought!

Occasionally, even, I might get into a bit of a mood and get to typing away in notepad…
By the way, Notepad is the most used program on my computer according to my WinXP start menu, followed by MSWord, then the command prompt...
But once the mood has passed, I’d feel like some sort of fool of some description to post these… heck, the last one was some twisted analogy between some aspects of my life and going ten-pin bowling… Now, I struggle to see how I came up with that one and I only know what the feck I was talking about because I remember typing it…

Anywho, back to THIS entry…

Not too much to say at this point, except:
- Last Thursday’s get-together was fun, thanks Matilda! Sorry had to leave so early inna morning..

- The GNO (Guys’ Night Out) on Friday was good too! (aph?!? oooo oo o o oo o ooo)
Cheers to the Guys: Denley, Raf, Kraukus, Thuc, Juan (and later Simon & Jacob too!).
Cheers should also go to Andrew and Caitlin for putting up with our hijinx as well, and to Sarah T for coming to say Hi! Sorry if i missed anyone...

- Also, thanks to Den&Ed’s House ‘O Magic on Sunday.

Ah yes! Almost forgot to include Vodka Wednesday last week, for which Pritika was unforntunately unable to attend, but Mr. Kraukus and I sampled TED Platinum.

Thus concludes this entry, typed with the utmost of brevity. Ok, I admit, I just wanted to type the word ‘brevity’. When I’m feeling a bit more creative, I’ll try and make up something more entertaining…

And now, finally, to sign off with I found an entry I typed in the wee hours, after returning home late one night from Marion…

(It would be important to note that I saw Pirate Guy when I was about that night, but I shan’t bore you with the rest of THAT entry…

“…
AVAST!

HOIST THE ANCHOR!

SPLICE THE MAIN BRACE!

WALK THE PLANK!

YE LANDLUBBER!

There's a guy at our charlton's who is a pirate?
yeah! Steve* the pirate!”

*Note: Name is unlikely to actually be steve… Sammie may know though…

I updated! I know it's short, and not informative AT ALL, but here you go Matilda!! :D

MUFFINS ATTACK!

2006-03-24T11:29:00.000+10:30

(Image borrowed from: http://www.breadsetcetera.com/graphics/muffins.jpg)

Some of you may recognise this illustrious item above. It is from the sixth, and slightly lesser known foodgroup - Muffins. And although lesser known, it in fact is the BASE of the foodgroup pyramid. This means that you should be eating 6-8 servings of muffin every day!

If not, evil rabbits will come up from your kitchen floor, and tickle you in your sleep, then poop in the corner. Hey, I didn't make it up. It's just what happens.

I have found some Muffin-related short films. They exist at MuffinFilms. They are flash animation things. About muffins.

Now, when consuming said muffins, it is important to have variety. The humble choc chip may take the back seat when a mars-bar-choc-mud-muffin is on offer, but one must make the effort to consume muffins from ALL walks of life and bakery.
Otherwise you're a muffinist, and will be burnt on a steak for discrimination.
Dangerdangerdanger does NOT support or advocate muffinism in any of it's forms.
*stab*

Anyhow, that's enough muffinry for now...

toodle-pip!

This amused me for several seconds.

2006-03-09T22:03:00.000+10:30

Try it yourself!!! With random names!!! Omg!!
(as found on Sarah's LJ)
Which reminds me, my list is out of date slightly...

Ten Top Trivia Tips about Tom!

Look what i found on the computer!

The following was written in the early hours of a friday morning, i THINK that it was the 17th of February.
And I'm gonna post the whole lot. If it doesn't make a great deal of sense, then don't worry about it.
I haven't edited it at all since, so who knows what it will say!!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

POST THIS UNEDITED!
IT MIGHT EVEN BE A LITTLE BIT FUNNY!

wow, i'm just sitting here
and the room is spinning a little bit around me.
and it's a thursday night right now. or a friday morning.
same thing.

heheh
oh well...

i spose if i'm going to blog this, i had better put some credits in.

I spent a large part of the evening with Cholas, and (due to her birthdayness) Michelle & Pals.
I particularly met (and can spell) Jenny, and Stu, and Adam, and Andrew and Adam and... Everyone else, i can either not remember at the moment, or i forget their names right now.
Right.
Sure.
Why Not?!?!?

hehehe

And before i forget, i would like to say a particularly large thankyou to Rhea for the ride home, but seeing as i don't know how to reach you, Sammie has the important job of delivering this message [editor's note: randomly bumped into Rhea at a bottle-o the other day, passed on thanks]. All i could gather from her text messages was that no, she wasn't ignoring me.

Altho that was after i sent more than one.

Indeed.

Muahahahahaha. Evil Laughter abounds!

And it is now about 1.31am on friday morning/thursday evening, according to my computer's clock. Hehe!

and you knwo what else sucks? Predictive text typos!! Omg! i hate senging OF instead of ME, or IN instead of GO. And i am probably going to make some normal regular type typos at the moment.

Okely dokely, maybe now is a good time to start from the top.
Tonight, i was going to meet Sammie et al at marion tonight.

So, i went to work. and struggled through all of this. and then, after work, i spoke with Angie until i heard from Cholas to come to charltons. There i met some people whose names i forget.

Names Tally out so far:
Cholas

And then, a bit later, i met with Sammie and one of the twins!

Names Tally so far:
Cholas,
Sammie,

And then, a little bit later some more people came. Cholas and i held the pool table for 3 delightfully free games of pool. Yay!

And then some more people came. I'm not sure who came then, or who came a little bit later, but some of the people i met:

Shortly later i met:
Michelle (again), and Louise (again), and Jenny, and Stu, and Rob, and Katherine or Catherine (speeling?), and two chaps by the pool table who cholas knows but who's names i forget, but i met them at that person's house after BDO. Right, mind gone blank now...

Around by the Smoke Free Pool Tables Area and Similar (People I Saw):

Pat, Sharai, Jason, Chris, Tim, Matt, Steph, Sammie, Sol, Person whose name I forget I, Person whose name I Forget II, Person whose name I forget III, Gemma, and probably even more! (sorry people whose names i cannot recall at this point in time)

Would you even believe it!!!

Names Tally So far:
Names tally is broken, too many names...

I know i sure wouldn't!

And then, after a while, cholas and i went outside to sit and chat cos he was thinking of catching a taxi soon, and i was gonna have to think abotut what to do with myself.
So we sat at the tables outside Shags (or Shenanannaananananananananaigans, whichever you prefer) aND were met by Jenny and Aroona (how the spell do i hell?).
Then they left, taking cholas with them, but not before they had made sure i had at least SEEN soemone i knew. ie: Sammwah!!!

And then we went back into charltons, and then after i chatted to Matt for a bit, and everyone else had seemed to left
(Michelle had definitely left despite the birthday cheer, Louise was nowhere to be seen, Jenny and Co had driven off or so i assume, and most of the people cholas knew who i had met that night had either left, or were vanished into the woodwork. I distinctly remember some of them leaving, and saying goodbye, but some of them just VANISHED!),
and then we decided to go into shags for a bit (and we even went up to the upstairs area for a bit), and when we were clambering down the stairs, Sammwah received a phonecall from Miss Rhea that her ride would be there soon. And so i walked with Miss Sammwah to the bottom of the stairs, to where Miss Rhea was waiting. And oh me oh my, being told 'hop in' (basically being given a lift, not offered one :P ) was so very comfortable. (forgive me for not being able to fully appreciate the comfort of said car on this occasion. and i know nothing!!! :P)
Oh me oh my, saving me a long(ish) walk home was a godsend. And i just realised that i typed Oh Me Oh My. Oh me oh my... oh dear oh deary me... Cos basically, i would still be walking home right now.

I hope i haven't edited any of this before i post it.

I hope i post it...It is now 1.48am, friday morning.

And i think that this post is coming to an end, even tho i am feeling not quite ready for bed.

First i need to get a drink. Then i think i will be about ready for bed. But not yet. After my drink.

Time to go get my drink, but i shall close this before i go, so i cannot come back and give myself an even later night than i have already! So therefore, that makes this the final goodbye!!!

:

Thanks Sammie for inviting/ordering me to go out.
Thanks Cholas for hanging-out-with/etc and so on.
Thanks for having a birthday, birthdy girl, so many people were out and about.
Thanks Rhea for car-ing me away.
Thanks to all the people i have forgotten at the moment, but were essential to having a good night out.
Thanks to all the people i met for the ifrst time tongight.
And thanks to everyone else! I either hate or love you, and you know it, and you hate/love me for it! :P and to all the people in between.

So long, and thanks for all the fish...

(p.s.: It is now 1.57am friday, and i happened to solve the Mystery of the Mysterious Phone Book Jason tonight!! yay! All/much/some stuff is resolved!!!)

Read this! Alternatively, don't read this!

The Long Awaited Update

It has been far longer than I ever intended between updates, but for this Long Awaited Update (indeed, the longest yet!), I have the events of a rather busy weekend to chronicle.

This is a slightly lengthy entry, but it is broken into three (3) subsections. Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.
Hey, you could even read one now, and come back and read the next bit later on!

(also, to make it easier for skim-readers, I'm gonna try bold places and italic names (well, first mention of them anyways). We'll see how that goes, eh wot wot)

1 - Starting with FRIDAY…

Friday began with a sleep-in, due to a late night exploring the expansive city of San Andreas, and also battling the vicious Strogg.
Later that night…
Friday night was unusually busy for me this week – a grand total of three (3) parties to attend!

Firstly, there was “filming” party at Jo Doley’s. Some people I met there (in alphabetical order):
Ali, Amelia, Brett, Chris, Dave, Denley, James, Jo (of course), Kif, Matilda, Rhea, Shaun, Simon, So-lou
I’m sure that there were some names that have temporarily slipped my mind, but let me know and I can add them/you in!

Anyways… I left this partay not THAT late, and then traveled in le car with So-lou and Shaun to Tom’s (a.k.a. Caesar perhaps?) Going Away Bash. This was but a brief stop-in, so that a Farewell could be said, and a street directory could be borrowed. I met more people here that I knew!

Then, using the borrowed street directory, I traveled (via dropping Shaun and So-lou home) to birthday party Far Away. It had kinda wound down a bit by the time I got there (maybe 7 people) so we just sat around chatting, until I had to pull myself away to return to Tom’s before too much of the night had worn on. I thusly arrived at Tom’s again at aboot 1.45 in the morning. I brought with me a street directory and a small quantity of ex-Aussie Day beer. Some of the people there before had left though…

Some pool was played, and much gas-bagging (mostly with Dave and Hugh and Clancy) and music-listening was done. I walked myself home at about 4.30, missing out on some partying, and managed to squeeze 4 hours of sleep in before work the next morning.

2 - The Next Day – SATURDAY!

Well, tired work is slow, dragging-on work. The day slowly dragged itself on until Home Time. Oh Joyous Day!
The one saving grace of this day were the two reasonably lengthy visits from Shaun and So-lou, who made my day so much more bearable. It's always nice to have friends visit you when you're bored at work, so: thankyou guys!

Then… Train to the city to meet Sally, Sheree, and Illmo to go to the UniBar (Home, Sweet Home, How I missed thee…) to see Dallas Crane & Special Guests (according to the ticket. The special guests were actually Melbourne band Cannon, and Tim Rodgers (or is it Rogers…?) & The Temperance Union). Dallas Crane was my favourite by a long way, although the crowd was fairly docile. Also, Doctor Pump from the Temperance Union is… unusual…
And in the break between Tim Ro(d)gers and Dallas Crane, I won some ‘decision dice’ from Ron’s hated Stacker machine…

This finished at around 12.45…

I then trekked past HJs (lines out the door just about!) on my way to Shotz (through Scary Park Area). The line at Shotz was terrible! Rather rather long ( to give you an idea, I got there maybe 1.10 or 1.15am, and I almost missed out entirely on the 1-2am happy hour!).
Fortunately, I met Amy in the line, and a couple of her friends that I hadn’t met before (testing mah memory… Amanda and Elise, if I can spell…), and we kept each other company in the BoringLine.
[Also met Troy, Ash, and one of their friends in the line, but they got bored and left. I hope I got those names right…]

FINALLY we got in, and as I was looking for people, I got spotted first by Rhea who pulled me onto the dance floor, and pointed out Sammie & Co. on the stage.
I also met there over the course of the night – Kif, Ryan, one of the ‘twins’, and some people whose names I SHOULD remember, but I cannot recall at this point.
After AmyAndAmandaAndElise left, I had to search for Sammwah (who was nowhere to be found!) but I caught up with her just outside. And then we returned inside until I had to go catch my bus.

I reckon I might have fallen asleep on the bus because I was SO tired, but at the (former Heaven) West Terracestop, some people got on, and cos the bus was practically full, I found the formerly empty seat next to me occupied, so I spent the arduous trek to Marion engaged in conversation.
And so I thank you RandomLady! You stopped my falling asleep on the bus!

The bus from Marion got me home just before 5am, and though playing computer games at that hour seemed enticing, I decided to sleep instead.

3 – The Final Day – Sunday

Sunday was spent sleeping until 2pm, having breakfast at 2.15pm, and visiting the rellies for a bit. Netball was visited (Congrats team!). Angus was busy netballing. This was our first taste of Angus in many a moon, so welcome back! It was good to see you again!
Then Goodwood Maccas was visited, and Woe!! they don’t have Cherry Ripe sundaes anymore! :@

After this, we went to the Moonlight Cinema to see Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (the new one). And after this, the Australian Pizza House was visited.

Sunday seems to be the shortest entry… I must be getting really tired and ready for bed now.

Finally, after arriving home, I’m sitting here typing this (it was written Sunday night/Monday morning, even though the post date might be different).

So, until next time,
Terracotta Pie! Hey!
Terracotta Pie! Hey!
Terracotta Pie! Hey!
Terracotta Pie!
Banana-banana-banana-banana-terracotta-banana-terracotta terracotta pie!

It has been a Loooooooooooooooooooong time since my last update. But that means that i have a lot to upate about.

A BRIEF summary is:
-The First Week Of Holidays.
-The Second Week Of Holidays, including "schoolies".
-The Third Week Of Holidays.

All I can say is it was a good thing I tried to make SOME effort to document these things, otherwise i would have NO IDEA what I've been up to. Yesterday is hard enough to remember as it is...!

Seeya for now!
When I get some time, I'll get cracking!

I apologise...

2005-11-16T12:19:00.000+10:30

...to those that i've hurt in recent times (and in the past), i am sorry. Whether through my actions, or inactions, through what I've said, or left unsaid, or through any other behaviour, i apologise for this. Although it would have been unintended on my part, that doesn't change what has happened

...to those that i've made to feel uncomfortable through behaviour or suggestion, speech or silence, action or inaction... i am sorry. Again, i wouldn't have intended this, and unless you've spoken to me, i mightn't know how you felt... To any of you out there, whether or not you read this, i apologise.

...to those that i've annoyed beyond a joke, i apologise. If i've hurt you through this, i am sorry. That would never be my intention.

...for this post.

It's not really in my nature to be unkind, but sometimes things might be misinterpreted, or in unknowing bad taste, or just not nice without me realising at the time. If something is meant to be cutting, it will be made VERY clear.

And i do KNOW that this HAS happened, and i've, unknowingly at the time, caused hurt/pain/sad/anger/etc, so this post isn't just a load of malarky.

And to anyone whom i have left out, i apologise.

And if this has bothered you, then please just ignore and forget about it, if that will make you feel any better...

i'm not begging your forgiveness, i just wanted you to know...
tom

p.s.
(and to someone else:
i am sorry for any hurt or pain or sadness or anything that i have caused, directly or indirectly. i want you to be feel happy and nice and laughy! you're not a bad person (regardless of what YOU may think about that...)! i can't help but feel kinda responsible though.)

p.p.s.
this is one of those things that i've tried to go straight from head to computer, without really thinking about it in between, and i haven't gone through it to edit/fix it.It is pure, unadulterated outpour. As a result, there may be some grammatical error, or whatever in there, and i may yet even be misinterpreted in this post itself. If an outpouring can be misinterpreted, that is...
And if you're read this far, thank you for listening...

If you were able read this, it means that i managed to press the 'publish button'

[p.p.p.s. the time stamp thing might be all odd, but this is a re-posting after i temporarily withdrew this post. also, re-added the ONE sentence that i had culled on first writing it.]

HELLOOOOOOOOOOOOO down there!

2005-11-09T21:16:00.000+10:30

I was recently engaged in conversation with someone, and it turns out that they've recently acquired a pair of jeans. Their FIRST pair. Ever.
They're rather happy with them, which is ever so grand!

The jeans in question are, in fact, blue.

Thankyou all, and happy jeans to the proud new owner of such good looking jeans.

Regards,
Tom

You know about 2 of the recent weekends…
Embo’s 19th was also recently, a few weeks ago. It was which was fun.
The weekend following that saw Ron’s mate’s “box social” thing. Then Sam’s (who seems to be at every party I go to!) 18th party, and then later on, a FullSizePoolTable.
The weekend after this was Peanut’s Party.

[it’s another long one, but has to last a while, and covers a lot, so please bear with it. Hehe, bear!]

So now, dear reader [oh the cliché!], you are almost up to date, but for the most recent weekends. I shall list the weekends in chronological order, which, in this case, means: order of ascending goodness.

The Friday was the date of Julie’s 18th party. I imagine that there were some very sore heads the next morning… Unfortunately, this coincided with Ice Skating by some other people, and I missed some funny times…
The Saturday was the night of the Ben Lee/Missy Higgins concert at AdelaideUni. Denley, Shaun, JAmes, Ali, and I went to go eavesdrop. A little later on, this became a bit boredom-y, and it was approaching Shotz happy hour time, so then Denley and I went to Mansions to meet up with Sammwah and Co. The ‘co.’ was: Anita, Dubs, Elle, Jo, and Steph [alphabetical ordering!
They were drinking PungentJugsOfCocktails. Denley and I split a jug of beer with some guy from the concert eavesdropping, and were then gifted OddCocktails, which taste, well, odd, and make your tongue become funny coloured if you drink them.

THEN!!! The next weekend was rather good too. The Friday night saw some people going to the casino for proper-snickers-genuine-peanut-satisfaction-happy-half-hour. And getting told off for having too many beers on the table for too few people (and only two people were actually having drinks).
The happy casino goers were: Denley! Shaun! Tom! So-Lou! And then JAmes arrived later. I had to depart as to fetch the automobile to transport myself to the next thing:
Jo’s Party!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
There were many many many many many people who attended!!! It was fun night! Unfortunately I had to return home, skipping MaccasBreakfast, lest I turned into a pumpkin.
The party was coolfun, even though it rained. There was WizzFizz.
During a particularly heavy spurt of rain, all four of the Three Muskateers (as they had been aptly labelled elsewhere), being Simon, Shaun, So-Lou, and myself [I was the odd one out in the names department, not starting with an “S”].
We drank lemon squash whilst listening to cool music in the pouring rain and chatting! It was fun! (in simon's car)
Then it was almost pumpkin o’clock so I had to leave.
Thanks for the party though, Jo!!!!

SATURDAY came next, as it usually does. There was little much done on this day, except for homework, and chatting on msn for a bit. Well, actually, it was the night of Fletch’s party, too.
Sunday saw Jo (the OTHER Jo) having a bbq, which was good to catch up with people. Raf injured himself ever so slightly scootering down the Big Hill, whilst Denley escaped unscathed.

Sunday night was the Taste Of Chaos concert thing, which was noisy and tiring. Killswitch Engage was probably my favourite part, and The Used my least favourite (Please don’t shoot me Cait!! They just didn’t play the songs I really like). The other bands I didn’t know really much at all beforehand, but they were all pretty good. The acoustic acts too.
Then we went to MacDonalds on West Terrace, and witnessed some amusing LateNightPeople, and played with happymeal toys.

THEN
It was the next week. And therefore, logically, THE NEXT WEEKEND!
Then it was FRIDAY. There was uni, and so on, for some people, and then some BZFlags, and then some GoingToCasino for mega happy halfhour.
And then back to le Bar.
I went back to the casino with Janelle so she could meet her parents. She was there so I wouldn’t get scared/eaten-by-monsters on the scary dark path, which was good. We met her parents at some food place, and they kindly bought me a Pie Floater, which floated, and we tried verimuch to engage in soberconversation, but alas! Janelle had old lady shoes.
Then I met with Denley and Tate at the Exeter, and was introduced to two of their new friends. Then I caught the train home, because it was ONLY ONE MORE SLEEP UNTIL SATURDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Saturday…
Even though it wasn’t QUITE Halloween yet, it was the night of So-Lou’s HALLOWEEN PARTY!!!!! Their house was decorated all Halloween-y and cool and balloony and spidery and batty and people were all dressed up for it! Quite a few many people turned up over the course of the night, and there was also: a karaoke machine, fancy lights, and a fog machine! It was so cool! There was even a scary jack o lantern cake! I met lots of new people that night, although if I saw them out of costume I mightn’t recognise them! Tee hee! And Sally, who seems to be seldom seen by me, came for a bit! Her hair is black now!
There was a bit of tequila, and after said tequila, So-Lou insisted upon walking across the ‘log’ across the swimming pool. Many times. And then some more. And once more for luck.
There was also WIZZ FIZZ, so I had a blue tongue, and Hubba Bubba, so I tried to blow some bubbles too!!!!
I was introduced to Sophie’s ExtraSpecial birthday present, which was a shiny statchoo of Alien, from the self titled movie of the same name. And we saw her mega huge artworks of Gollum, Arnie, and Crazy Jack, which were art’d by her.
There happened to be another Tom there, except he was actually a devil wearing a people suit, but on the inside.
EVENTUALLY, after much karaoke singing, and merriment, people started to leaving, and cos of daylight savings, it was actually 1 hour later than it should have been. Then, Edward suggested a game of monopoly which So-Lou and I won by default-squared!! It was a very short lived game.
Shaun was playing some uno against himself.
Then we decided that it was approximately time to get some sleep. Poor ol’ Kelly had to get up early for work :S
Then, we woke up later, and Simon drived JAmes home, and Shaun and Sophie and Ali and Me ated some rice bubbles and weetbix breakfast, and watched some telly-vision. We were still tired after mega-fun-happy-chocolate-sing-fun-party-spooky party.
Did I mention that there was Nightmare Before Christmas and Lost Boys music?
Then, kindly parents came to give a lift home so not have to walk.
It was now officially Sunday. Later in the evening, I went to assist with the spectating of Emma’s netball, and then the convoy to Maccas to talk and consume mass quantities of mac. Mmmmm…

Follow this with ActualHalloween = free pool Monday, and I now dub October to be Party-tober.
Hopefully after exams time, there will be more fun et games!

Signing off!
Tom

Post Script:
Many thanks go to the party holders. Your efforts are greatly appreciated! Also, thanks to Jack, the Pumpkin King for holding Halloween again this year. It was a good reason for a party.

Busy eh?

2005-10-17T21:42:00.000+09:30

Well well wellity well! I’ve been quite busy so far this term! The final weekend before the term started was Peanut’s party!
This was a fun party, although my memory is a bit hazy as to what other people were doing, or what time any specific even happened. This was partly due to a slight case of alcohol consumption.
Many thanks yet again to the ever kind Raf for chauffeuring me home at that ungodly hour – it was beginning to get light when we left Peanut’s house… [home = about 6.30am :S]

The next day saw a much needed sleep in, followed by a planned outing to Charltons to play some FreePool. A little later in the night, some more friends [these being Jess, Timmy, Julie and Claire] rocked up, but 2 were underage, and one didn’t have ID, so, after procuring this ID from whence it was left at the party the night before.
This was followed by these friends, plus Denley, Brent, and myself journeying to the city for Fun, etc. We travelled to many places, including but not limited to: The Belgian Beer Bar, the Cranker [scary central!] and Max Power [a karaoke bar on Hindley]. Max Power was funny! It was quite empty, and we managed to sneak [sneak? Hah!] into a photo of 30 karaoke komrades. Well, actually, we made the entire front row of a large group photo.
The Basement was also visited, where there was a man with a h00ge afro handing out free drink vouchers. Claire, Denley, Brent and I went in, but due to drivingness, only Claire and Denley were drinking our 9 free shooters. They were happy afterwards!

A little later, we returned to the car park, and after some shenanigans we headed home, arriving there about 4.30am.

It was a good thing that there was a public holiday to recover from this!

Until… THE NEXT WEEKEND!!!
Friday was uni-ful, and on the way home, I bus’d with Janelle, thus meeting her ACTUAL grandparents [this event was mentioned in an inebriated state, and quoted on JAmes’ blog a little later]. Then, travelling home, went to Brent’s house, and I left a short while later to Travel to pick up some Guests, returning later.
Some Futurama and Tom Green [eww!] was watched.
Then, Tom [me] and Guests [Julie+Claire] travelled into the city to once more visit the ScaryCranker. It was scary once again, but there was a party there! :D
I returned to Brent’s to catch the last half of the AliG movie, and after people left began the arduous trek home.
The next night was the…
INFAMOUS DIABETICAL DIABOLICAL BBQ [of Matt].
Kelly introduced me to vodka thus:
Kelly: “Vodka, this is Tom, Tom this is Vodka.”
Tom: “Why, hello there Vodka! You smell funny!”
*Kelly puts Vodka into Tom’s stomach through various nefarious means*
Tom: “Whoa! Wahoonies!” *amnesia*

…just see other people’s blogs, at least until I get the events of the night sorted out.

And kind thanks to JacobFunzo for the transporting home. And sorry for the spilt drinks/etc Matt.

And so ended that weekend.

THEN came the next weekend!!!!! But I have to go, so I will write about that a bit later… Hope this keeps you satisfied for now. You too, So-Lou!

[Stay tuned for more news later!!! The next weekend includes: an 18th, and going to the city!]

Tally-Ho, Pip Pip, and All That!

A post of posts! And so on! (Written over 3 days, or so)

2005-09-29T11:24:00.000+09:30

Well, well, well…

(I do know that this is long-ish, but some of that is lyrics. Please, bear with it. Hehe, bear. Also, some was written the other day = monday!)

This bit Is New-ish! I wrote it yesterday!

Last night was the movies! And in the day was bruising rugby playing! Hence, I have bruises.
At movies, some people saw Howl’s Moving Castle, some people saw Little Fish, and some people saw Deuce Bigalow 2. Sammwah, EmO and myself saw Deuce Bigalow. Some bits were eeeeeewww!!! And some bits were funny!

Aaaaanyway, this movie finished quite earlier than the other movies, so we sat at the coffee club shop thing while we waited for more moviegoers.

Mmmm… couches.

While we were sitting there, I was positioned in a position that was good to watch people going down the escalators. There must be something in the popcorn/water, because watching these people leave the cinemas it seemed that practically every person was part of a pair. Oh, the alliteration.
I wouldn’t be exaggerating if I was to say that there seemed to be maybe 2 or 3 unattached people on an escalator with perhaps 20ish people on it.

Maybe Tuesday is the night of the week that they escape!

I did say that I had actually written most of this entry on Monday. It is true, but I had no time then to post it, and yesterday I had a combination of busy-ness, and computer troubles.
So I shall post it today!
(I do know that it is long-ish, but some of that is lyrics. Please, bear with it. Hehe, bear)

From this heading onwards was written on Monday
(although I haven’t re-read it since then):

Firstly, I acknowledge that it has been a while, so I shall write a little more this time.

Well, I watched the movie ‘28 Days Later’ recently. This qualifies as a very apocalyptic film, portraying the darker side of human nature, and all that stuff. Damn people. Not to mention blood and guts and gore and so one.
Aaaaaaaaaaaaanyway, I’ve been a-thinking since.

I’ve had a tipsy topsy turvy kind of time. This last term (3rd) has been extraordinarily out of the ordinary, as far as terms go.
Partly because: it followed a fantastic mid-year break, and was followed by a so-far-so-good mid-semester break.

This term has kind of been all over the place; (It’s a very full life I lead)
I’ve met many new people and made a lot of great new friends (where do they all come from!! Not that I’m complaining),
I’ve caught up with old friends too, and ‘current’ friends too,
I’ve done homework with music loud enough to shake the floor,
I’ve been to parties and I’ve been to movies,
I’ve played violent sports and been sore as a result (but it was fun!),
I’ve been in pain,
I’ve soared to new heights and I’ve come crashing down…
and everywhere in between.
Most of it was fun, I think.

All things considered, and workload aside, I think that I would rate this term very highly (or highest). And thinking back, of the things that I had some control over, there is little or nothing that I would change if I was able to, and if I had the capability to go back and change it. Everything else was out of my hands anyway.
It was not all within my hands, squeeze it in, crush it down, hold it dear, all that suffocates, loved to death, beware.
Love is control. I’ll die if I let go. Let it go.
Hate me now.

Hrmmm… random song line thing from random song. Shuffle play, how I love thee.
C’mon happy songs now… got one, yay!

And that’ll be all for now from me, I think, I just sincerely hope that there isn’t some super-fast spreading infection that reduces the human race to a squabbling mass of enraged murderous thoughtless maddened killers who kill things in a thoughtless murderous rage.

Tom

And once more, for those of you who can be bothered to even read it (or pretend to read it), some lyrics to two songs that I like, and kinda maybe feel a bit like (perhaps the first more, though) at the moment.
(note: any errors are mine, I may have misheard the words.)

from ‘Control’, by Alexisonfire:
-------------------------------------
Say that you’re in control
Say that you are
I can’t think of a time
When you looked less alive

You say wait until light my day
Just wait until light
One more day will go by
Maybe today you should try

Look past the mirror and find
Look past the mirror
Like there’s something inside
Something more to your life

My words won’t heal you now
My words won’t heal
It is you who decides
It is you who decides
…
Believe that you are just fine
Believe that you are
You’ll feel so alive
You’ll feel so alive

Be what you are now
Be what you are
Do not keep it inside
Where they will not subside
…
…

from ‘M.I.A.’ by Avenged Sevenfold:
-------------------------------------
Staring at the carnage
Praying that the sun will never rise
Living another day in disguise
These feelings can’t be right
I need your courage to stand up and fight
Oh tonight
Ooooooooooooooooh
Stand up and fight

Now fighting rages on and on
To challenge me you must be strong
I walk the land but don’t belong
…
…

As search as a GOOGle

2005-09-21T11:21:00.000+09:30

Just a quick little thing for now! I shall endevour to en-type a properly update at some near date.

I found out today that this very blog can be found by the following steps:
1) Go to www.google.com
2) Type in the Search field: "dangerdangerdanger"
3) Then hit the "I'm feeling lucky" button and it navigates to this page!!!

alternatively,
3) Hit the search button, and this page is the top of the list!!
The preview text shows my disclaimer!! (see very bottom of this page to see for yourself)

And now, I am aware that this has been a very boring update, but a more interesting one shall follow at my next convenience, hopefully not tooo far!

Tally-Ho!

Goog Photos!

2005-09-11T20:33:00.000+09:30

I did say photos were to come hopefully! and now they are!
Ah-hah!! i found 'em! Thank you Stephen, I shall use your photos now!!
They are from the day of MilkyWayWhopper, by the way.
I think it was so... odd... that he blocked the event from his mind. For more details, see two entries ago, Au

Many thanks to Stephen's phone, so here: Stephen's Live Journal. Have a link on the side-bar too!

Yarrr!! Booty:

The Milky Way Whopper:
BEFORE / AFTER:

And for this one, I shall quote Stephen:
"Once again its just confusing, but tilt your head to the left.. OMG its Tom (the black blob[presumably]), Janelle (the white blob), and Me (the shoe blob)!" [the 'Me' = Stephen]
(Highlighting the picture helps!!! Ctrl-A, even would help!)

2005-09-04T21:03:00.000+09:30

Well, last night was Bodie's 19th Birthday Party. It was fun and enjoyable and many other positive adjectives. And late. *yawn*
Anyway... no time for that now...

I know lyrics are not the most interesting things to put in an update, but when I was doing some homework, a Slipknot song (Circle) came on, and I stopped for a second and listened to the words...
This is a screaming-free song, for those of you who go: "eww, Slipknot"

(excerp)

...

all that i wanted, were things i had before
all that i needed, i have never needed more
all of my questions, were answers to my sins
all of my endings, are waiting to begin

i know the way, but i falter
i can't be afraid of my patience
there's a sacred place
where Razel keeps safe

follow me,
i've seen so much i'm blind again
follow me
i feel so bad i'm in love again
follow me

all that i wanted, were things i had before
all that i needed, i have never needed more
all of my questions, were answers to my sins
all of my endings, are waiting to begin
...

Full as a GOOG!

2005-08-31T20:55:00.001+09:30

Today I came home feeling AS FULL AS A GOOG!!!

The story: (with pictures to come later)

Scene 1 - The Unibar. Cast:
Jacob, Juan, Kraukus Tom, Caitlin, Amelia, Myself, Janelle,
People abound. Throwing of cards. Etc. Then people leave for buses and so on.

Scene Change:
Scene 2 - RunDLE Mall. Cast:
Stephen, Janelle, Myself

Walking to places and shops, then WE ALL FELL HUNGRY!!!!!!!!
And Go-Lo! was visited after browsing JB-HIFI.
Purchases: 20x fun size milky ways, 16x funky lollypops.

Travelled to: Hungry Jacks!!!!!!!!!
Purchases: Mega Meal = 2x whopper, 2x hamburger, 4x small chip, 4x small drink.

Scene Change:
Scene 3 - Hungry Jacks Booth Thing:
Personal Stashes:
Janelle: 1 whopper, chips, 6x milky way, 6x lollypops, 1x drink (RED SUGAR WATER!), chips
Stephen: 1 whopper, chips, 7x milky way, 5x lollypops, 1x drink, chips
Tom: 2 hamburgers, chips, 7x milky way, 5x lollypops, 1x drink (RED SUGAR WATER!), chips

Learning Experience - What Not To Do At Hungry Jacks:
1) Put 3 milky ways into a whopper*,
2) Eat (attempt) the whopper from part 1)
3) Make people almost choke and gag from laughter at 2)
4) Take pictures of 1), 2) and 3) to put on the web.

*Thanks to Stephen, for this helpful information

Scene Change:
Scene 4 - Sparkly Blue lights Out Front Of Bonython Hall:
The Merry Troupe then trooped to the front of Bonython Hall, to sit with the fairy lights, clap in time with the Chicken Dance on a mobile phone ringtons to the passers by, and throw candy around, feeling AS FULL AS A GOOG.

The Moral Of The Story:
Hungry Jacks & Go-Lo! is fun!
Also, adding chips, and Janelle's whopper tomato and pickles, to a hamburger is a GoodIdea.

Hand Goes In Puppet... Yeeeeeeeees

2005-08-28T22:11:00.000+09:30

Well, it has been a week since my last update. This seems to be becoming something of a regularity.
And again, it is a bit of a long-ish entry! If you don’t like that, sorry, but that’s how it came out!
[note: today, my left ‘)’ bracket wasn’t working for some reason. Hence the square brackets]

This Week’s Entry:
Contents: - 5 days
- 1 list of DartBoardNames

Mundane:
On Monday, had per usual Uni things. And some slight bar after. Jojojojojojo lifted Me&Sibling home in her car. She was Dinnering at house. After foods, Mykee turned up [somehow!!]. At least, I’m pretty sure that this happened this week. Memory playing up might mean that it happened the week before, but who knows!! :P
There was some cake, and some cool contortion, and chicken muffins, and so on.

ChooseDay:
On this day, there was some uni-ing, and some walking, talking, darting and finally some public transporting, and so on, and MIRACULOUSLY I ended up meeting people at MarionMovies. Well, in HJs, actually. Some people wanted to watch House Of Wax and, erm, some other movie.
As things turned out, other people watched House of Wax, [and for some, Sin City], whilst Sally, Ali, Denley and I watched Wedding Crashers.
It had some funny bits!!

WendsDay:
This was a normal day. Except the bar was virtually deserted! It is scary when there is noone there that you know! Some poker was played between: Denley, Stephen [a.k.a. ‘Stove’, but that’s a different story. See the end.], Jacob, Janelle, and I. KraukusTom came later, and helped, I mean hindered, Jacob. People had lectures to go to, so then Janelle & Stephen & I went to RunDLE Mall to thing, and some of us ended up having a look at a whopper. With our mouths and teeth and tongues. SLURP. Uni was walked through, as people went to the places they had to go to, quoting all the way.

ThirdsDay:
Today was NormalUniDay AGAIN!! And then some darts. Although there was no work this week, accompanied the magic work bus to work place, and then to home!
After some workies, Shaun’s house was traveled to, and Lost was being televised on television. Then some pooling was played. Kelly pool too!
Home was found some time later.

FriarDay:
Uni was had. Then at the bar, there was an EPIC game of Killer, with so many people you wouldn’t believe it! We almost HAD to use the bull’s eye. Ewww, gross!
ANYWAY! After some procrastination, and some delaying, Janelle went shopping for tattoo!!! She returned some time later, having CRUSHED Stephen’s hand, and having a slightly sore spot now. After the 1 hour period, bandaging was removed, and then we saw it! It is black and looks really cool! And paw-print like! (funny that…)
Almost straight after this was Bus O’Clock. It was a slightly painful trip for one traveler. Paw Janelle (hahahabananahaha, *groan* what a terrible pun…) Although pain wore off as the trip went on.
Anyway, after arriving at Marion, I bus’d home to fetch transport for Vague Plans In The City!
I met Raf & Bodie, then we walked to find Simon, JAmes, Denley, and Ali. After much time-wasting, and snickers, we free bused to the Markets for mass consumption of cheap food. Um… the casino was passed through looking for Pat, but I didn’t see him. We ended up relaxing (and Raf slept) on the Hungry George couches, watching channel V. Then Home. And then that’s it!

This entry is already long enough without the weekend as well, so I’ll put that in later.

Some Dart Names: Names, as written on the chalkboard for Darts.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Emma [T] = Ember
- Tom = Tome*
- Denley = Donut [hahaha kung fu hustle]
- Bodie = Bonono [hahaha, noone else probably gets this as it was intended, except maybe ali]
- Edward = Edward Bear [then went to] => Edward’s Bear=> Ebwarb’s Deer =>
Ebwarb’z Moose (Jacob assisted in the evolution of this one)
- Jacob = Funz => Fundz*
- Stephen = Steeevin*=> Stove [it’s in that past tense!!!]
- Kelly = Smelly * [note: this is a name, not a description] [note I THINK this was the one]
- Andrew = ANJRW* (spelling?)
- Janelle = JNLY* (I think that’s how it’s spelt) later, an ‘A’ was added to the front of this, => AJNLY. It stands for some adjective, like ‘abalone’, or ‘alluring’, or ‘adjective’.

And then, all the names were made so much COOLER by adding Z’s!!!

[Please remind me of any that I’ve forgotten, or any errors!
I’m pretty sure there were some more that I can’t recall at the moment. I’ll make a more complete list later. Oooh! Sidebar content!]

* = Thanks Jacob!!

P.S. Got a new toothbrush!

2005-08-21T17:26:00.000+09:30

Greetings and Welcome One And All!
It seems that this ‘blog has almost fallen into a state of disrepair. The updates are small, and are weekly at best, at the moment. This update is an attempt to (at least temporarily) fix this!

(I know that this is a long-ish update. Please bear with it. Hahaha, bear.)

Basically, I have been busy with Things. Firstly, I shall mention these Things!

Things

I have yet to do my holiday write-up. I still have plans to do this, but “When?” is the problem, due to busy-ness. Since the holidays, I have done some stuff! This is:

First Week Back:

The first week back was all Usual. One highlight was a HappyMeal™. It increased my happiness. And, if I recall correctly, this was the week of the Soccer El Grande Finale Thing (last week, possibly tho. Darn memory!). After this-ness, we did JenkinPool. I could be completely mixed up, but I think this is correct.
On the Saturday, there was an expedition Out. Denley, JAmes, Ali, Sammwah and I went to Town, and we (Sammwah and myself, anyway) sampled a Long Island Iced Tea at the Fumo Blu (speeling!), and then Shotz’d it up! Work the next day prompted a not-late-night.

The Second Week Back:

Monday was as-per-usual, I think. Tuesday was a bit different, seeing as there was a Tug-O-War across the Torrens (Engie vs. Med), and a BBQ too. After watching people pulling on rope, I visited BarFriends. On the way to getting IceCream/Block (mmm... frosted fruits!), Janelle and I almost GOT TRAPPED in the elevator (sorry!), but miraculously survived the harrowing experience. I also pool’d for a little bit.
Wednesday existed this week, although some sort of elephant is required.
Thursday was BusToWorkDay. I hadn’t ever catch’d the bus to WorkPlace before!! It was slightly scarifying, because I didn’t recognise the suburbia that we were passing through, nor did I know how long BusTrip would take! Thankful for experienced traveller, I was.

On Friday, there was either no soccer, or quietness. JAmes and Denley and Me went to HungryJack for voucher using, and then Big Star Record looking. There were funny shenanigans when we did finally meet Ali. Ho! Ho! Ho! How we did laugh! She was confuseded! Then, somehow we met CaitlinJuan, and Jo, and ended up going to DenleyHouse, via Mykee’s Video Shoppe. That night we did watch movies. Late. Like 5am, despite working up get at 8am! (But sleeping in Zoolander helped me)
That night was MonkeyParty, which will make this update too long, so I shall en-type separately and later.

The Third Week Back:

Assume a normal week, except for these things:
- We saw JasonSheepy&Friend on Tuesday! He purchased some drinks for some people!
- There was ThursdayBusWork again, but it was a different bus that flies in a different route! How odd!!
- There was AUMA PubCrawl on le Friday. I avoided the inconvenience of BagAtCasinoCoatCheck, by travelling home via marion & MagicBusAgain. Then ka-train! I met people’s in that bar place. My how we did walk to various pubs that day! I magically ignited the last train, due to a non-late night. This night probably warrants it’s own update also. Later.
- Saturday was Shotz again, briefly. And then home for Tom & Denley, via meeting Janelle at the Apothecary place that I need some help spelling. Thankyou Clippy! Now die!

Excluding this sentence, this is a 544WordUpdate so far!

Le Fourth Week Back:

This week was more normal, with not much out of the ordinary happening. Monday was pretty much as per usual. As was Tuesday. And Wednesday. Except I ate a milkshakedrink on Wednesday (SPLAT), and didn’t fall off the Rumours Café balcony.
Thursday was FunnyBusTrip day to the work place. Oh deary! The mis-adventure! An article need I to write on the topic of some Do’s, Don’t’s, Thing’s for buses.
Ho! Ho! Ho!
Friday was ANOTHER funny bus trip. Accompanied by StrangeLooksFromThatWeirdGuy. Then, after some home, I drove a car that I found to the city to meet people, but THEY HAD FINISHED MARKETING! Instead, we left almost straight away for SoccerThing, and then ended up at Denley’s for movie again. Via Hungry Jacks for the HungryRaf and TomPerson.
There was some movie watched, and game played, and some… happenings… involving some people that some other people found to be humorous. On Denley’s bed. Oh my… (see some other blog’s, probably. Bodie’s has something about this night, too)

Also, all traces of the *sigh* had been removed by HappyThursday&FridayDay, and Friday was, well, Chirpy. I’m sure Kizzle can attest to this. :P!

And so ends this exciting instalment! Oh, I forgot to add that Darts is now GameOfChoice, with a little eXtremeHunting (hahahahha CompSci) on the side. Pooling has NOT been displaced though, it just costs more money.
Hahah! I just re-read the last paragraph, and ‘Pooling’ almost looks like ‘Poodling’, which is probably some kind of Olympic sport, or something.

See You Around The Place! And So On!

(also, thankyou brain! This article has presented me with some other things to write about!)
(>800 words! Wow! Probably more, due to some CompoundWordThings)

Whoa! Oh no!

2005-08-14T20:58:00.000+09:30

Well, my posts are not writing themselves (rather unlike Denley's blog updating itself).
And I choose to blame the fact that university has started back up again for this.

A real quick summary:

Friday was the AUMA Pubcrawl. We went to the UniBar, then Mansions, then the Tavern, then the Crown and Anchor. There were some places after this, but I didnt go on them.
Also, I was a little bit late at the start, but no matter - things worked out reasonably well.

Saturday saw me meeting Denley at the train station, then walking to Hungry Jacks to meet Sammie&Co to go Shotzing. This was fairly brief for us, due to time restrictions, but we did meet there Jo D, and some people that I hadn't met before.
Denley and I headed then to The Apothacary (however it may be spelt) to meet Janelle who had just been to the Opera, which was great from all reports.
Janelle and I walked Denley to the train station in time for the last train, and then returned via McDonalds. And then I left in time to catch the first Wandering Star bus.

And that's it, apart from homework on Sunday, pretty much. And then no happy songs came on while I was homeworking. It's bad! And sad! *sigh* :(
You know the whole "why bother with anything at all *sigh*" feeling...
:(

There was going to be an update written this weekend, but last night's many hours of playing SingStar on PS2 at Monkey's 18th made me tired. So, after sleeping in, I did some homework and some tidying up and now I'm here!!!

Happy Birthday wishes to Monkey, by the way.

Now I have to go, again!

A quickie/quicky/however you spell it!

INTIMATE SPACE______|

You'll never guess where I went on the weekend...

Another update - Right on!

2005-07-07T12:24:00.000+09:30

Well, still been pretty busy. Haven't had the time to write up all my shennannigans, if that's how it is spelt. And I've been feeling a bit less dangerous of late.

Anyway... A quick summary of so-far. (More details later!)
Saturday:
Holidays began! Travelled to the BodieMansion (venue for Live8 viewing), went into town and frequented various establishments. Returned to le Mansion.
Sunday:
Travelled to the BodieMansion to watch the movie that Cait made.
Monday:
Went to Denham's birthday bash. Sorry, shindig. Many thanks again, Denham & Co. .
Tuesday:
Witnessed Batman movie in the day. Then, the Madagascar movie in the evening.

Wednesday: (this, I shall write in more detail, as it is one of the shorter entries to be written)

On wednesday, I was picked up by Raf, then after playing musical cars, ended up arriving at Waite oval with Ron, to play soccer and rugby. Neither of these violent sports had I played previously! Indeed, I injured Ron's shin (and my own, to a lesser extent, I think) in soccer, and attempted to run through (paratrooper) Phil in rugby. If my plan was to hit the ground quite heavily, then I succeeded.

After soccering and rugbying, we journeyed to Jo/Sally's house to attempt to play some tennis, and eat some food.
The usual suspects were gathered around the tennis court, when we were paid a visit by some visitors. The visitors were: Sally, and the 'Scottish Girls', as you may have heard them referred to as. They are actually named Karen and Marie Louise (I hope I spelt it correctly), and I met them for the first time on the Saturday night/Sunday morning adventure.
Karen and Marie Louise are 3rd year (almost 4th year!) medical exchange students from Scotland, and are very funny (and nice) people to be around.
Many male-folk of Adelaide have become enchanted by these visitors, although any story or description would hardly do them justice.

It was quite cold sitting/standing next to the courts, so a braziere was filled with quick-heat thingies. Denley, Marie Louise and myself gathered around the warmth, and inflated balloons. Denley punctured his, and I engaged Marie Louise in a balloon-fencing match. I was quickly slain, and stabbed in the chest when I was lying on the ground dead.

After all this excitement, Raf organised and picked up dinner. Many thanks to Raf, despite the hard time he was given by some of the others. Whilst waiting for dinner to arrive, some people watched TV, and others sat at the table. Mika (Sally's dog, whose name I don't think that I can spell!) was asleep on my lap, and running in her dreams.
At this time, I sampled the Scottish beverage IRN-BRU (yum, by the way), from the olde sweet store in town, and have been recommended Scottish dumplings, as may be found at Christmas dinner.

As I was trapped by Mika, thank you to Sally for the drink, and thank you to Marie Louise for getting me some pizza while there was still some left.

After dinner, I practised my cardiology. I was assisted by Karen and Marie Louise and (hindered?) by Laura. Karen and Marie Louise contributed many fantabulous words. I was able to remove the pen from Laura's clutches under the promise of Karen straightening my hair afterwards. I would have agreed to this had I simply been asked - who would be able to refuse them?
There were many photos taken, before during and afterwards. They will most likely be published on Raf's blog soon.

After my hair had been un-curled, it was styled by Karen and Marie Louise. More photos were taken. And then, only then, did I see myself in the mirror. I almost did not recognise myself.
During the straightening, Karen told me that I would buy my own straighteners after this, and straighten my hair every time I leave the house. I was told by someone whose name escapes me that this straightening was to be replicated next time I went out (ie: on the town).

It was kitchen clean-up time! (I think it was here). And some wiping and cleaning/etc was done.

A short time later, it was tea/coffee time. At this point, Laura got her 'wish' and gave me horns in my hair.
And shortly later, Ali thoroughly messed it up. Then I decided that it was time to sit on the couch with the dog (well, elvis the cat decided that he liked biting me). And then Sally came along. I'm not sure exactly what she did to my hair, but it was a nice massage anyways.

Now, it was getting late, and Marie Louise, Karen, Sally and Laura went to bed. There was a little more conversation around the kitchen counter, and Mika was paid more attention. Then, it was time for us to leave! (Oh! The route to Mia's farm place, and car seating was discussed also)

And then, people walked out the door to their cars, and then, and then, and then, people hopped into cars and went home.

The End. (until next entry!)

Greetings from The Abyss.

2005-07-05T10:54:00.000+09:30

Apologies for the lack of updates of late, but I have been busy experiencing things to update about.

NOTE:
I am still quite tired from all of this. At the time of going to bed last night, I estimate that I had been awake for 57 of the previous 66 hours. And 7 of those hours of sleep came in the prior 22 hours.
That's about 6 and one-third hours awake for every hour of sleep. This equals tiredness.
Being incredibly tired feels slightly like a (rather slight) state of inebriation. ie: One was not feeling exactly one's usual perky self, and at times one's head was swimming/spinning.
As a result of this, apologies to anyone to whom I said things that weren't intended, although I am pretty sure I behaved myself.
(another note: These estimates assume that I fall asleep as soon as my head hits the pillow. This not usually entirely accurate)

Some News:
I had intentions to update after exams, but you see, since my exams finished, the only time I had at home was spent getting ready for bed, sleeping, or getting ready to head out again. This totalled little over 10 hours since Saturday.
But! There shall be updated to follow! I have a great deal to update! And I shall have to split it into several parts, most probably, to make it easier to read. This considered, it is probably approximately 4 decent sized posts so far, though maybe 5 or 6, depending.

What have I been doing that's so time-consuming?
1 -
On Saturday night slash Sunday morning, the BodieMansion was occupied, as were various establishments around town. Some of Live8 was viewed. Home Time = about 11.30am
2 -
On Sunday afternoon slash the wee hours of Monday morning, movies were watched, and the BodieMansion occupied once more. Home Time = about 3am
3 -
On Monday, many thanks went to Denham for his HappyBirthday Party at his house. Many Llamas and many Geeks were met. They reside at: www.llamageek.com
4 -
More is happening today, tomorrow, and later in the week too!

The Plan
To update, in estimated chronological order, the happenings of my weekend/week.

P.S.
If you happen to notice that I miss anything out, or accidentally leave anyone out, please be so kind as to point it out to me, and I shall attempt to fix it.

Tally-Ho, Pip-Pip, and Bernard's your uncle

Title Goes Here

2005-06-26T20:28:00.000+09:30

If you've been reading my tag-board, you may have witnessed the writings of a Sammwah...

Sammie: TTOOMMMWAAAHHHH IM SOOO SORRY I CANT GET OUT OF THE HOUSE TODAY TO COME AND VISIT YOU. Im soo sorry ill make it up to you!!!!!!!

Cheers for coming to say "Hi!!!! BOOM!"
Don't worry... You're forgiven. I won't destroy your home planet.

WHOA! An Update! And an Idea!

2005-06-24T21:53:00.000+09:30

Hello... and welcome to my long and eagerly awaited update. Indeed it has verily been a long time since I last update. And since then, some very muchness has happened. Some of which involved broccoli, and person(s) unnamed (you know who you are).

1- There has been development of the DangerMasons, and the involved character. See Bodie’s blog for more info, and the pictures.
2- Salally has created a blog.
3- Wishful Thinking is frequenting various tag-boards.
4- It is officially exam season. Be vewwy vewwy quiet! We’re hunting exams! Fetch my wifle, Jives, and pack the nukes as well... bwast that wascawwy wabbit.
5- Something else happened, but I forget what it is, and who did it, and where, and when.
6- Now this is getting ridiculous.

I had better wrest back control before I break the Internet.
*wrests back control*

It is time to broach a matter that has been rattling around my head for a few weeks. It all started at that den of iniquity, that wretched hive of scum and villainy, and source of pilots who can make the Kessel run in under 13 parsecs... aka the Mos Eisley Cantina. Err.. UniBar.

And, such an idea as I have envisioned will not be scientifically feasible YET. Probably not inside this century, or even millennium. You see.... I Had A Dream. An idle flight of fantasy that would be REALLY REALLY nifty! It is the...

SUPERMEGAHYPERGRAVITIONAL POOL CHAMBER ©®™.... Simplified to Hypergravity Pool. I shall elaborate further on this at a later date, but this post will entail my brief surmise.

Imagine a game of pool where the pool balls contained a variable mass. A massive mass.
Imagine striking the cue ball, and using the gravitational pull of this mass to ORBIT the cue ball around the obstacle, striking your target, and sending it on a convoluted course into the nearby black hole. I mean pocket.

How cool would that be? But, since the more elaborated description defies the various conservation laws (eg, of mass-energy) and a host of other physics-ical doodads, please don’t debunk this!!! At least, not yet.

I mean, firstly, I need to figure out how to create a ball whose mass depends (not solely) on its velocity/acceleration/etc, and then I need to create a chamber to house this contraption.

Expect a more detailed description, and hopefully some diagrams at the aforementioned later date.

Until next time: Oo-de-lally, fortunes forecast, lucky charms!

(p.s. I am going to need some serious NerdPower™ to get this thing off the ground...)

Some random Dangerous Things, that I like... (1)

2005-06-18T20:49:00.000+09:30

Domino’s Flavour Explosion.
Or whatever fancy name they give it. For those who don’t know what I am talking about, this pizza makes you EXPLODE when you eat it.
And if it doesn’t, that is false advertising.

Sammwah’s Dangerously High Tolerance for Large Quantities of Sugar.
The quest for the ultimate sugar high has led SuperSammwah to try some odd combinations, I am sure. Eating sugar, h00ge pythons, and chocolate with chocolate topping on it and then with added chocolate. These are all MundaneMondayMorning things for Sammwah to do. But last night at the BodieMansion, I witnessed something terrifyingly sweet.
It began as a cup of castor sugar and a spoon. Then, I thought I heard “I wonder what Icing Sugar tastes like...”. I was mistaken. It was, in fact, Ice-AND-Sugar. An odd concoction I am sure.
And I didn’t think to ask how that tasted. I missed my opportunity, as soon it became something MORE.
Softdrink of the sugary variety, and a small piece of cornchip were added to the cup.
The SQ (Sugar Quotient) of that cup was far too seriously sugary enough by half, and well above average to boot. In fact, if sugar crystals were black holes, there would be nothing left in the LeBodieMansion’s kitchen. Maybe even the whole house.

My Graphics Calculator
This is no ordinary CASIO CFX-9850GB PLUS. My ownership of that should have been sufficient warning. Not only can it calculate nCr, nPr, various derivatives and integrals, draw graphs, and blow stuff up, it can, in fact, blow stuff up.
Wait, I said that twice. I suppose that could be because it blow stuff up sooooo blown up that it may as well have been blown up twice.
All you do is run the hidden program, pull the pin, and throw the calculator.
Actually, that is the OTHER method. The single use method.
It has taken a while, but I have actually managed to integrate a planet destroying laser, akin to that found on the DeathStar, with various settings: Zap, Stun, Ouch!, TripleOuch!!, WhereDidThatLimbGo?, Destroy, Armageddon, and lastly, Apocralypse! (See Note!). mazing, that all this is from just 4xAAA batteries!!

And now for 3 things about my week:
(1)I found a song called “Danger – Keep Away”.

(2)We had a pizzaful feast at Mansion du Bodie the other day. Many thanks to him for putting up with our nonsensical nonsense and stuff.
And I am curious as to how Sally’s HoneyInstantCoffee in microwaved BoilingPopcornWater tasted.

(3)I hit a few particularly dangerous (friday) pool shots, which the-Angus-formerly-known-as-Torcaedius ( Casbahlian fame), Denley, and Bodie can attest to. Mucho Cojones Poolio Egressio Tabley! Yay for puh-suede-oh Espanol! (and boo! Cos I can’t find the curly ‘n’).

(other-3)I found the secret passage into fairy-land. Everything is made of sugarry sweets. Except the people; they are a kind of meat, a tasty fairy treat.
To cut a long story short, I accidentally plunged their civilisation into an untimely doom, via a spontaneous black-hole erupting out of a once-dormant volcano, which sucked a planet-killing meteor (and a smallish comet) into orbit, causing their world to crash rather violently into their sun. Unfortunately, this created a premature supernova, engulfing the remaining inhabited planets in the solar system, and then all the waste matter was sucked into the black hole.
I know it doesn’t sound scientifically possible, and it probably isn’t.
It’s just Dangerous.

(Green) Peas Out!

Note: Apocralypse is in fact not a typo. Those familiar with the Discworld will recognise it's origins.

p.s. Apologies for the lack of Rant. Casbah Rant. I am just feeling to peachy-keen and dandiful to be hasslefied by crumpetuous people. But I plan to get annoyed after exams!! Maybe during Moolies...

A Quest for... [1]

2005-06-14T22:13:00.000+09:30

I think I had better outline the gist of this section before I continue...
This is the first of potentially many ‘quests’. And by ‘quest’, I mean A Quest. And by A Quest, I mean something I have thought of that would be pretty cool to do, but I might not be able to/actually ever do. Roughly.
The easiest way to understand will be to read what comes next! And in the subsequent Quests, also. Now, onto the A Quest!

A Quest for...
... getting fancy business cards.

Having business cards to hand out is so classy, that it goes hand in hand with having a cane, a monocle, a timepiece, and a top hat/suit. However, you see, I do not actually have my own business to card. Hence, I cannot have a classy & shiny business card holder required for holding my fancy business cards, and as such cannot be a part of this classy ensemble [this will be a later A Quest, I am sure].

After some thought on this matter, I have decided that not having an actual business/club/association/etc to put on my fancy business card may not actually be the handicap it first seems to be! Indeed, do the business card manufacturers verify the veracity of my statements? I think not!
So, a few misnomers later, and a few dollar$ too, I could be the proud owner of phancy pantsy glossy shiny business cards. Then, all I require is a shiny business card holder, to go with the shiny monocle/shiny timepiece /shiny suit. All of which I do not own (at this point in time, that is! =P).

All plotting and scheming is making me thirsty!

Now all I need to do is think of what I need to put on the aforementioned cards of business. Something classy, something stylish, something dangerous (dynamite tester?), and something funny too...
Hrmm... I wonder if they still have those coin-operated-business-card-making machines at Westfield Marion... I shall have to investigate when I am next there.

I am being serious!

Semi-serious, at least. This could be a gun!
Err... I mean: fun!

Until next time, T.A.F.N: Ta-Ta For Now!

Battal Royale of the T(om)[itan] s

2005-06-12T23:01:00.000+09:30

It was a dark and stormy night. The night was dark and stormy.
Ok, maybe I made those bits up. It was some day, neither dark nor stormy. Nor was it night.
The Time was Long Long Ago, in a Bar Far Far Away. Ok, maybe not...
The venue was the Bar of Uni. Aka, the UniBar. And boy-oh-boy was it uni-y and bar-y. I was playing a game on the table of Pool, when up perambulates the Other Tom. Aka Non-Dangerous Tom. Aka Franky. Aka Kraukus Tom (Kraukus being a crustacean, according to JAmes, which resulted in much Humour).
And unto me he quoth: “Tom, yea, verily do I challenge ye for the title of Olde, I mean, Real Tom.”
Forthwith, did I riposte: “I shalt accept this challenge, Other Tom.”

Holding the table as I was, Crustacean Tom rendered the Table pecuniary assistance in dispensing the Balls of Pool. They were then triangulates, and then brokened. Other Tom broking the balls, as the challenge was his. And then, after much Playing the Game, did we finish.
Here is a mathematical and logic equation demonstrating the result:
“Winner = Dangerous Tom”, so therefore: “Dangerous Tom = Real Tom”. Logically. QED.

Other Tom was henceforth known as Achilles, dubbed thus by, if I recall correctly, the wise and sagacious EmmaT.

A period of time later, the Challenge was issued once more, and I relieved Tom of his pseudo pseurname Franky. I was The Real Dangerous Tom Franky. On this same day, did I relieve Funzo of the moniker Jacob(ob), which I relinquished to Matt (now Jacob(ob)-Matt).

My joyous reign as Real Tom was joyous. And not nearly now far too long enough by half.
It was on Freepoolday (I mean Monday) of a fortnight past (or maybe 1 week), that upon holding the table I was challenged by that Achilles chap. A fortuitous result for Achilles left me in the awkward position of having to take my shot with eXtreme RISK. My one remaining pool ball was positioned near the precariously placed Black Ball blocking a back pocket. Ahhh, alliteration alludes to an asinine allegorical. Almost any shot would lost the game. And indeed, my attempted tricky shot failed, exiting myself squarely out of the game upon the ball of black entering the holey pocket. Oh, woe was I!

...And so, I wast left without the title of Real Tom. Other Tom, in his munificence graciously allowed me to retain Franky. Until such a time as there is a re-match, he shalt be Kraukus Tom, and I shalt be Dangerous Tom, and confusion shalt reign supreme.
Whoa! Doughnuts! Donuts! How do I spell it right?

Until next time, TTFN: That’s all for now!

A few changes!!! (and Import Special #2)

2005-06-07T13:54:00.000+09:30

Well, to be precise, just one change. All this flurry of tagging has prompted me to add a counter, so I gots one here now!!! look at the little thingies!
It may not seem like it, but i do have intentions to update!

Now for the Import Special #2!!!
--------------------------------------------------------------------

Do you ever get the feeling that you're not quite all there?
If you answered "yes" to the previous question, i could respond in one of several ways...

1.
You are not quite all there mentally...
This may mean that you are a few tacos short of a combination plate, or not. it could possibly be because you get distracted, stop paying attention, and miss important things.
Or it could mean that your mind is operating on a different plane of reality and is quite uncapable of functioning in the mere mundane of modern day life...

2.
You are not quite all there the other way...
Maybe you are a ghost... (or not)... your molecules could be resonating at a higher (or lower) frequency, and are thus uncapable of physical contact with most things...
If you couldnt touch anything you would probable get very dead very quickly - from falling through the ground, and dying of asphyxiation in the earths centre.
This could clearly not have happened to you otherwise you wouldnt be able to type on a computer keyboard, or stand on the floor, or sit on the chair in the computer room.

Now that we have cleared this up, and have ascertained how you may not be quite all there, i would like to respond to your "yes" with this:
"Oh... Hi there..."

And, not make anyone feel left out, to those of you who answered "no" to the question, id like to respond with a big "Oh... Hi there..."

And finally, to those who sat on the fence, and said "erm, im not sure", id just like to say: "Oh... Hi, im just gonna go over there now... toodles!"

Toodle-Pip, Cheerio, Bysee and all that

2005-05-31T21:48:00.000+09:30

Uni's keeping me really busy at the moment, but thought i'd share something cool from a song....

i remember the first war
the way the sky burned
the faces of angels... destroyed
i saw a third of heavens legion banished
and the creation of hell
i stood with my brothers
and watched..... [and i couldn't make out the words from here on]

Import Special 1: Relativity In The Kitchen

2005-05-26T21:56:00.000+09:30

Here goes!!!
_____________________________________________________
The Perils of the Electric Alarm-Clock Radio (or: Relativity in the Kitchen)

Many people i know set their watches a couple of minutes fast. This way, when they are in a hurry, they forget their watch is fast, and get to their destination early or on time. i have no problem with this, and my watch is set about 5 minutes fast.

sure, no worries!

Then comes the digital clock radio alarm thingy that resides on our bedside tables, or somewhere nearby to wake us up on time for work, school, or uni, or whatever. Or you turn it off so you can sleep in. Often this is set by the time announce on the radio, or again, a few minutes fast.

I have no problems with this, it may even be a good idea for some people.

sure

no worries

heck, even my alarm clock is set fast.

faster than my watch, which is fast to start with.

For some unknown reason, i have had my alarm clock set about 12 minutes faster than my watch. this makes it something like 17 minutes ahead of the real time. My alarm clock has been set this way for MONTHS. and i dont know why...

if i change it, i might forget ive changed it, and then sleep in... maybe that's it.

i mean, come on, 17 minutes fast? what is the point. it makes setting the alarm a bit tricky at times.

I wonder if this says something about me... maybe the world is divided up into several different tpyes of people: those whose clockes are slow, those who strive for accuracy in an alarm clock, those who are a little fast, and then me.

When i come to the kitchen, there is a clock on the wall, a clock on the oven, one on the microwave, and one on the radio thing. and one on my wrist.
and none of these clocks agree. its like ive just stepped into some weird time relativity experiment, involving lots of clocks.

relativity is confusing, just like my kitchen.

I dont know what time it is, i dont know where i am,

who am i?

And so ends this first Import Special ever. A momentus occasion, I'm sure!

And for the record, my bed-side clock is now 8 minutes faster than my phone, which is 3 minutes slower than my watch, and at approximately TrainStationTime

Ye Must Do C-Double-Plus!

2005-05-23T21:45:00.000+09:30

(As witnessed on my TrainAdventure® home today)

Alighting the train at their station (undisclosed), I witnessed two jolly looking folk. One appeared to be around a score and fifteen years of age, and the other was ineffably the great white-haired Scottish Programming Guru, who has been reported haunting carriages on this train for nigh on forever.

The Scottish Programming Guru was conversing with the younger man, whom I shall dub
HairWasBlack, or just HwB for simplicity. The conversation ran as follows... (edited ever-so-slightly)
Scottish Programming Guru: “So... what languages do ye ken?”
HwB: “I’ve dabbled a bit in Visual Basic”
Scottish Programming Guru: “What about ‘C-double-plus’?”
HwB: “No, but I’m doing a little bit of flash.”
Scottish Programming Guru: “oh, ye must do ‘C-double-plus’”
HwB: “But it’s so hard!”
Scottish Programming Guru: “Ye must do ‘C-double-plus’! It’s not that hard!”
HwB: *groan*
Scottish Programming Guru: “Ye must do ‘C-double-plus’!!”

This was humorous to me, partly because of Scottish Programming Guru’s accent, and partly his insistive-ness. He was reffering, of course, to ‘C++’, which is a bit of a joke in itself, because in C (and some other programming languages) this is shorthand for C = C + 1. Basically, it is what came after C.
And as I look at this, I realise that it may not seem that comical to anyone else.

And in other news, one pocket of one of the UniBar pool tables HATES me (you know who you are!!!) because twice in succession, it shat back out the balls that should have been sunk! It shall live in infamy, along with the Questionable Sexuality Sticks. Further things shall be given humorous and insulting names at future dates, depending on how the table treats me.

Adios! for now....

An Epic First Post

2005-05-22T21:32:00.000+09:30

Greetings, and watch your head.
This blog is the result of a sudded head-spurt of ‘feeling-creative’-ness after being invited to be a contributor to the infamous The Couch Casbah. Which has yet to be followed through, though.
Anyway...
That got me to thinking, and I decided to bring this site into existence!

The posts to follow will be the ranting and raving of what some might term a ‘Madman’. This is not the case; that will only be some of the time.
I have decided to bring to this location various ‘Import Specials’. These are the postings on previous failed blog attempts, which shall then be extricated from the Web of the Wide World, and incinerated, and then the ashes will be strewn across lush verdant fields and promptly forgotten.
Perhaps they shall be a weekly special, or I might save them for when I am running on low CreativityJuice™ and have no dirt to dish. Or maybe something else entirely Different too!

And so shall I end this historic First Post, the post to end all posts, the post apocalyptic, and the post office mailbox.
If you wish, I’m sure that there is some way that I can be contacted, but I’ll leave you to figure that one out!!

Too-De-Lally & all that!
