Yes welcome back to the internet. Or, Internet as it is meant to be officially.

We’re still without a working ADSL account at the flat (yes I moved out on the 20th). It’s been fun nonetheless, although my new work hours are long and early. :<

Not having the net is kind of annoying, mainly from an email point of view, but also from a time-killing point of view. The amount of bad TV and movies we’ve been watching says it all.

The housewarming was good. Went reasonably smoothly and everyone had a good time.

I’m still jealous and a bit bitter in an I-missed-out-on-the-fun (sub 18 years old style, the dingy way I used to [and I guess still do] get) about Benecke’s last Friday. Sounded pretty debauched, leading to a tamer Saturday night for my housewarming. Grr.

Silly, I know, but I can’t help it. Never could.

Anyway. Hopefully the net will be sorted out ASAP. I just emailed the BILLING TEAM at exetel. Sorry, eXeTeL. Yeah…

Whackeedoo.

5:15am starts. Owned. :(

HEADACHES OF PEARL REDEMPTION STORY
Hello. I’m Teddy Twitfizzle. I suffer from migraines.
I get them standing up; and lying down. No medicine seems to help.
It’s like daggers flying into my head.
I suppose I should stop taking all that crystal meth.

Made here.

Weird.

redknob is the last of the great eccentrics. The funny thing is, he doesn’t know it. He thinks his behaviour is perfectly normal. He sees himself as a pillar of propriety and a paragon of protocol. redknob has strong views about every topic under the sun. There’s not a subject he doesn’t know about or a moral point he can’t pontificate on. redknob is entitled to be a little arrogant. He knows an awful lot about an awful lot of things. He is well versed, well rehearsed, and deeply immersed in the kind of knowledge that we lesser mortals can only dream of attaining. Thankfully, he is there to shed the light and show the way. This, he does generously and patiently, as befits a person of superior intellect. redknob is wise, intelligent and (thankfully) oblivious to irony.

Or, at least, that’s how redknob is, at his worst. He can’t help it. He’s an Aquarian and Aquarians are infamous for their occasional outbursts of pomposity. Happily there is another truly delightful side to him. redknob is as honest as the day is long, as generous as the ocean is deep. This is partly where the eccentricity comes from, for a person with such strong opinions redknob is surprisingly willing to please. he is keen to win friends and influence people. He loves to feel that he belongs. He always wants to be in on the action, part of the scene and one of the gang. Rather like Groucho Marx though, he is never sure that he would want to be part of any club that would have him as a member. He is always on the lookout for some new cause to support, or enterprise to sign up to. You might think that this would make him fickle but actually redknob is exceedingly loyal. He may be forever expanding his horizons but he never forgets his friends and he never reneges on his commitments.

This is why, despite the highly idiosyncratic nature of redknobs personality, so many people think the world of him.

It feels accurate, but you get the same result if you change the name to someone else… Who would have thought the were only 12 stereotypes in the whole world?

Just watched the Breakfast Club with Lou. She hadn’t seen it before and I haven’t watched it in years. It’s so good. :) I was born about 18 years too late, I missed my cultural prime. :(

What else should I mention? Hmm. Looks like Dubya got re-elected. I was expecting it anyway, so I guess I was braced for a bit of disappointment. I hear that Hillary (?Hilary) Clinton is keen on running as the Democrats leader for the new election… Can’t wait to watch that!

Gotta lend one of my textbooks to a guy from uni tomorrow. He wants to photocopy it all so he doesn’t have to buy the book. Hope he gets it back to me swiftly! Otherwise I wont have to feel bad about not studying until the day before the exam. Wee-hoo.

Yesterday I went out to some furniture park near dad’s work in the western suburbs with my parents. Bought some new furniture (el-cheapo to moderately priced) for the flat. Only a few weeks until the big move! :o It should be fun. Hope everything we bought fits in the place and also suits the place. I’m having a minor dilemma in that I can’t find a decent red or maroon-y bedspread anywhere. :(

Mum and dad also said we should be able to pick up a second remote for the garage, so I can more easily attempt to ninja a spot in there (we have a feeling a lot of the spots aren’t being used at all). By the way, tofu/’s the one moving in with me. What an unveiling! He’s getting our assigned car park as he’s most likely to have a new(ish) car by the time we move in.

I worked out I only need to slightly extend my hours at work each week in order to relatively comfortably provide for myself during semester. That means I can probably chuck an extra few shifts in just for “fun” over the holidays and save up a bit more anyway. I’ll see how I go.

My video card is still playing up. Little shit. Purple bars and all. says it’s probably the on-card memory. I don’t know shit about PC hardware in the greater scheme of things so I’ll take his word for it. Tried to talk dad in to getting the guys at PlusCorp to swap it for me… Hopefully he will.

The end.

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.
