I saw Gus today. Trippy.
I also sold some more tickets to Winesoc’s first dinner. We sold out. Even more trippy.
Uni’s already boring, yet I intend to force myself to accomplish my work. As long as I sit down to do it I’ll be ok. I think.
I don’t want to work tomorrow or Friday night. I don’t have a choice. Things are looking up.
Some silly Winesoc member hasn’t gotten back to me about the two tickets I’ve reserved them. How rude. I’ll have to bust their chops.
Went out last night. Ate a lean beef burger. Good times.
This quiz thing I did… I’m not sure if it’s that accurate. What a surprise.

You scored as Visual/Spatial. You probably feel at home with the visual arts, maps, charts, and diagrams. You tend to think in images and pictures. You learn best by looking at pictures and slides, watching videos or movies, and visualizing. People like you include sculptors, painters, surgeons and engineers.

I doubt I’ll get any insightful ones.

Bored. Meant to be going to uni to flog more Winesoc memberships today. Have to shower first. Lala.
I ate too much curry last night along with a naan. I have a food baby indicative of sextuplets.
I got really sunburnt yesterday during O-week as well. I knew I would too. At least I picked it. Might try some suncream today, although we’re only milling around Manning.
My timetable isn’t too bad, I guess. Considering I could only move 2 labs on the whole thing. Blah. I only have labs/tutes on 2 days of the week, so the rest I can potentially bludge at will. That’s comforting to me. I think I’ll try and work long Wednesday afternoon/night and my good old standard Friday night leading on to Saturday morning. That’ll end up with me losing almost $400/w if I drop the other 20 hours I’ve been working each week. Hopefully it’ll be manageable. If not, I’ll just bung on a Thursday shift or something. That’d be crap, though. Hmm. Maybe I can get youth assistance now that my hours have dropped back. I’ll have to check again.

I swear Lord of the Rings 1-3 don’t deserve to have 3 of the top 10 spots. Fucking movie geeks. There’s a few there that I know Dad has at home and I just haven’t gotten around to seeing, either. I will though, then that list will be MINE.
I’m barred up that Leon is on it, though. :D
Seems the list has changed a bit anyway. I notice Spider-Man 2 made it at #250. Good times. :)
I’m Not a Faggot! Oh dear. I don’t seem to be a faggot at all. Luckily, George Hennard, Robert Mochrie, Timothy McVeigh, and George W Bush are all world famous non-homosexuals (probably) upon which I can model my sad little unfulfilling life. I grew up being taught serious and important things like sports and engine mechanics, with little time for the frivolity and campness which faggotry encourages. I am depressed and I often cut myself. I wet the bed when I was younger. Um. Yesterday.
What kind of Faggot are you?

Lokitorrent got owned the other day. :(
Tried to post this yesterday morning, but LJ was fucked, too. Nice one.
Fortunately I still have my other premium torrent sites to entertain me! Just hope they don’t get raided and have to give up their member details. :O Possibly the worst thing about all the new sites: user databases.
So, my late wrap-up of recent games:
COPS 2170: The Power of Law – (…) good idea, decent graphics, bad implementation. Kind of like Jagged Alliance meets Syndicate Wars. I really like most of this game, but it’s just not balanced correctly so it can be incredibly hard even on the easiest setting. Not to mention it has a reallllllllllly lame name.
The Punisher – Cool. True to the spirit of the comics. Very brutal and ruthless, but with flair. Nice to see a few Marvel cameos as well. Think Manhunt meets Max Payne, but take out all the stupid annoying shit from Manhunt.
Fallout Tactics – not too bad either. A beefed up version of the Fallout games, with nicer graphics and higher resolution. This one is a bit old now and I’ve been after it for a while, just haven’t been able to get my hands on it properly. It’s a tactical combat style game basically, again similar to Jagged Alliance or X-COM. It has 3 different settings though, from real-time (Warcraft 3 style) to squad turn-based (X-COM style) to attack precedence I guess you’d call it (Fallout 1 & 2 style). Anyway, I got a bit of the way through it then started pining for some old Fallout 1 and 2, but my copy of Fallout 2 doesn’t work so I may just order it from a games website if I feel like spending the $15.
I could get Fallout 2 for US$2.50 and another US$2.50 for shipping I think if Amazon’s marketplace let people ship video games internationally. Fuckers. :<
I don’t suppose anyone really cares about any of the stuff I just wrote. I just thought I needed to make it look like I’ve got something to say for once. Hmm.
I’ve got a feeling I probably wont get the tutoring position at uni that I applied for. I’m kind of happy about it now though, turns out the course I applied for isn’t set out the way I thought it would be, so I’m not really keen on teaching it anyway. I don’t know if I could be fucked with doing the programming courses as well. Might just do another shift or so at SDS during semester and save myself the trauma.
That shouldn’t be too bad, since I seem to have scored myself 6 hour (minimum) shifts every Saturday for the next few months, leading to time and a half. If I can slip in a couple more decent-length shifts each week I should be plum. Well, scrape by for semester.
Still don’t know how I’m going to cope if I do honours next year. Hopefully I’ll be able to get youth allowance or something (there’s about 50 different names for it depending on your situation), since it’s meant to be a full time course. Hmm. I’m really not even sure if I want to go through with it now. Depends what options I find available for myself at the end of the year and if I’ve decided what I really want to do. Or perhaps on how well I do this year at uni.
I still hate being the only person in my circle of friends left at uni. Gah. :s
Finally pulled all the pics off my shitty old camera’s memory card. See the cut. There’s an awesome one of my cat, if that helps you decide to bother looking.
Just changed my shifts around at work, so that I get the penalty rates counting over my whole shift. 17% pay increase baby. \o/
Well, that’s how it’s meant to work.
Tried out iTunes because I was prepared to pay to download Gary Numan’s Pleasure Principle album. Turns out that’s practically the only Gary Numan album that they don’t have. Soulseek is way too slow unless you want mainstream popular shit, so it looks like I’m up shit/Amazon/record store creek.
Some of those other legal MP3 download sites are dodgy. I especially love the ones that request your email first, then on the next page after you’ve submitted it your credit card number, etc. Gotta love having Hotmail for trying shit like that out. At least until the second step.
Still, they offered ~ US$0.25/song as opposed to iTunes’ US$0.99/song. Bigger library too. Meh.
Here’s my favourite:
Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww.
That’s from home though, when I lived there. I miss him. :'(
Scott’s been asleep all night, until I did this:
He’s gonna get me back for that, I can feel it. Actually he looks a bit like Chris Taylor from The Chaser and triple j in that one.
Don’t you think?
Especially this one:
Here’s another unflattering one of me I think, with young Tomy. Hope his mum doesn’t see this or we’ll never be allowed to kidnap him again for an afternoon. Man my arms look like noodles now. :O I should start trying to pretend I do weights somewhat regularly again. Or something.
hehe.
