FINALLY.

Finished my ISYS3000 assignment.

2500 words later (I think it’s a little over, it’s meant to be 2000, but that’s including the headings and references too).

Thank CHRIST.

No more assignments for the year! Wheeee!

Nothing for 3 weeks, when I have my exams! Wheeee!

Got Lou to book a holiday house in Noosa for Lloyd, Eri, Lou and I earlier this afternoon. The silly boffins couldn’t decide on a place, after throwing about 500 links around for the last few days. Of course, with my masculine hunter-style mind I managed to peruse the thumbnails of available locations near Hastings street and we ended up booking the first one that I picked. ;)

$275 each for 7 nights. Less than 1km to Hastings street and it’s got its own private pool and beach, along with nearby restaurants and a bus stop. It’s also decked out with facilities such as TV & DVD, even a dishwasher. It has this funky blue kitchen counter and it’s tiled through and even has ceiling fans! Yay for nice and cool floor with air flow during what will probably be the hottest and most humid time of the year!

It should be really good fun, I’m looking forward to going there with the guys.

Can’t remember if I posted earlier or not, Lou missed out on the job at Coke. :( She’ll have to go work for Pepsi now just to get the ultimate revenge.

Spoke to FallenAngel/Brendan, a dude from WAY back on austnet IRC (circa 1997). He randomly messaged me on Trillian’s ICQ (as I wont use normal ICQ) tonight as I was writing up my report. It was good to catch up with Prong Brother 1. Mmm hmm.

Looks like I’m most likely moving out to Newtown in a month or so! Holy cow! Deny (pronounced Danny, but he’s stupid) reckons he’s moving up to Queensland somewhere and he wants to sell some of the furniture/appliances that are already in the flat for some extra cash. Mum said she would probably buy it or something (?? but that suits me) so I can use it. I’m probably getting a flatmate too but I don’t know if that’s meant to be a mystery yet or not and I can’t be stuffed checking.

As usual, I’ve stayed up later than I need to in order to write in this journal. I don’t think I’ve got it in me to a) regularly write; and b) write at a reasonable time. I’ve coped for this long though so it can’t be all bad.

I’ve been playing the World of Warcraft closed beta. It’s pretty fun, I think it’s actually fucking good for an MMORPG (even though I promised myself I’d never play one again). I’m still undecided as to whether I’ll be buying it when it goes retail or not. I’ll have to see what my situation is at the time.

I do have some hot photos from it, though:
Picture one.
Picture two.

Very, very hot.

OMFG.

My dad just came out of his bedroom (mum and dad sleep in separate rooms because “he snores too much”) naked and raged me for not turning off the air conditioning, then stumbled around in the dark trying to work out how to turn it off.

I’m scarred.

For life.

I don’t know what scares me more, having him running around in the dark raging me whilst naked, or finding out he’s been sleeping naked in his bed all these years…

On to brighter things, I finally bothered getting the new series of Smallville after Ross told me it had started again. So far it’s awesome. Lois Lane (Erica Durance/Parker) is a cool character and is cute too. So is Lana’s new squeeze. Yes, cool and cute. Goodo.

I hope Lou goes well in her job interview tomorrow. I’ll find out in about 12 hours. Whee!

Who?

Yes I’m here. Hi.

Scored The Sims 2 and CoD:UO on Monday. Picked up a copy of The Sims for Lou as well for her birthday. :) They’re both alright. That was my first purchase on my credit card, as well! Yay.

Also managed to get a copy of NHL2005 and finally got my hands on Max Payne 2. NHL2005 is crap as I expected, however I can’t help but give the NHL games a whack after I loved NHL97 and 98 so much. ^_^

There’s lots of little easter eggs and in-jokes in Max Payne 2; I started reading all the threads on the 3DRealms forums for it. Apparently there’s a few references and similarities in the game to what happens in Twin Peaks. I always meant to check out that show (somehow) and now I’ve had my interest rekindled. I was thinking of buying a whole set on video from eBay but I’m not sure. I could “Buy It Now!” for AU$65 or wait 8 days to bid on it. I’m tempted to go for it, but I mean… VHS. :( I suppose I could get dad to convert them from VHS to DVD for me. Actually that’d be pretty cool! Maybe I’ll do that.

I’m still sipping on white russians. Tasty.

My paternal grandmother’s sister died at approximately 8:30pm tonight. She was the last “close” grand-relative I had. :S She’d been on a downward spiral for a few years now. Hopefully she went peacefully. Grant, my cousin who boarded and I in the UAE in February is one of her sons. He was due to come back to Australia in a couple of weeks but changed his flight to try and get home before his mum died. He wont arrive til Monday though. Poor guy.

Hmm… I think I’m gonna go make someone convince me to buy that Twin Peaks VHS set.

Potter!

Not much else to report. The diet is technically over as of now. I treated myself with a mini Cherry Ripe and a mini Violet Crumble. Now I feel sick. How depressing.

I’ve lost at least 4 kilos, maybe more since I weighed myself on Friday or whatever it was.

I can’t see. Damn assignments.

I think I’ll just have a few hours sleep (again). I slept a lot today so I should be able to cope tomorrow.

I MUST go to my Networks lecture in the morning. The final one of semester. I’ve been bludging it for the last month or so, same with my ISYS ones. Argh.

Kosmix is evil and wont post anything because he’s lame.

I managed to pick up the other two seasons of Futurama from JB Hi Fi… A combined four season total of approximately $130. Pure bonars. Made mum watch half of season one with me on Saturday night. :) She seemed to enjoy it. Woot.

Starting that kick-start diet again tomorrow! Well, today really. It’s been about a year since I last did it! :O Crap that’s gone quick. Hopefully I lose another 6 kilos or so. That’d own. Then I’ll be able to fit in to that dress I’ve been eyeing off.

Oh yeah, I’ll throw this in too.

You are usually asleep on the job but that’s okay because your job is to make sure everyone gets enough sleep! You’re shy and sweet…when you are actually awake! Getting sleepy already?
