It's Good To Be The King!

So Sunday night I went to Indooroopilly to see the LoTR Marathon with Shawn, Bec and T. It was good. I napped a little in The Two Towers during the boring Rohan politik, but was good through Helms Deep. We got out of the theatre at about 6.50 and were blinded.

Notable points include enhancing frozen theatre cokes with vodka, lots of pretty girls, some in pjs and finally being able to say "Swinging a chain, swinging a chain" and have it match onscreen references.

I went to work after that for a few hours, then came home. I went to be around 1pm and woke up this morning around 0600. Long sleep.

Now I'm off to get my hairs cut and to hit JB Hifi for some goodness. Oh t3h love.

Sorry. You Weren't Invited

Allrighty!!! So Christmas, what?

Nothing special this year. After church, I was floating around in the pool during the morning. I was drinking beer in the pool! How cool and like, totally Hollywood am I? And I got horiffic sunburn over my shoulders and the top of my chest. Bizzarre factoid : I did not get sunburn in the middle of my chest, and I don't know why. Perhaps it could have something to do with the hair I have there. That would explain why I never get sunburnt on my legs below the knee. I get sunburn on the thighs.

Well, once. And I was wearing speedoes. But I was like, 9 at the time. And didn't have much body hair.

Well, none actually. Oh well.

Anyway, my grandparents arrived and we had lunch, followed by the Great Present Unwrapping.

Highlights From The Gifts
First Aid Kit for Car.
Travel Blanket for Car.
Refidex for Car.
Armourall Carwash Kit for Car.
The Little Book of Calm (Black Books reference - not actually because I'd follow any of that crap)
Bottle of Jack Daniels

So there you have some stuff!!! Now, Boxing Day consisted of me getting up at some ungodly hour (like 0500) and doing some food shopping to fetch the rest of the ingredients I needed for my happy fun time Boxing Day "Swim In Bill's Pool and Eat The Stuff What He Cook-eths(tm) Day".

I made a bannana curry chicken, basil pesto fettucine, 20kg of couscous and some salads. I also made a really nice champagne sorbet which I forgot to serve, but that's okay, because there's nothing I like more for an afternoon snack than a bowl of icey champagne, egg white and sugar.

Shawn, Bec and Neal arrived first, followed by Chris, followed by Rachel, Justine and Ray, followed by Patrick and Zadie. Oh the madcap action.

We talked, ate, swam, talked, then some piked and others stayed. We watched Series 7 and KungPow - Enter the Fist then people left and I drove Patrick, Ray and Miwako home. Miwako being the Japanese homestay student Patrick is hosting at the moment. Additionally, however, we watched some Live Action Sailormoon, some Kimi ga Nozomu Eien and listened to Bec and Patrick grill Miwako on the correct terminology for "boyfriend" in Japanese, but not using the word kare which is apparently slang and Bec got in trouble for using it at uni. Or something.

Then I woke up this morning after having weird dreams involving me, a girl and the waltz from the end of Disney's Beauty and The Beast, finished cleaning up from happy fun time Boxing Day "Swim In Bill's Pool and Eat The Stuff What He Cook-eths(tm) Day" and then went in to Hawthorne to see School Of Rock with Jack Black. Funny.

What else is funny is the following transcript. I have edited the name, but what follows is the result of my fun boredom annoying Zadie. She has a 16 year old female friend who she is having at Pancakes tomorrow. This is my delicious torture :

Me: describe her to me

Zedstar: She's about my height

Zedstar: has dark brown hair that she dyes a plummy red

Zedstar: brown eyes

Zedstar: olivey skin (but quite pale for olive skin)

Zedstar: big smile

Me: continue

Me: please

Zedstar: that's about it

Zedstar: When she gets giggly and embarrassed she tends to cover

her mouth

Zedstar: long hair

Zedstar: what else?

Me: see, this thing you're wanting, me not hitting on her

Me: this sounds really hard

Zedstar: DUDE

Zedstar: She's so YOUNG

Zedstar: She's 5 years younger than you

Zedstar: and to be honest- she'd freak out about you

Me: in the good way?

Me: Why?

Zedstar: cause she's little (size wise), and is NOT INTERESTED,

and would think you're a freak

Zedstar: she like anime, but half hearted

Zedstar: and you being into all the "girlie" anime- she'd think

you were a freak

Me: excuse me

Me: i do actually have interests outside of anime

Me: and secondly, what does size have to do with anything?

Zedstar: Well- you would be intimidating because you're so

much taller than her

Me: yes

Me: because i'm really fucking threatening

Zedstar: Well- you're a lot bigger than HER

Zedstar: and you're OLDER

Zedstar: so you're gonna be more intimidating

Zedstar: Even if you wear a pink bunny suit- it still would

be freaky

Me: uhh

Me: that would be disturbing

Me: a 6'3" pink bunny...

Zedstar: see? you're like a foot taller than her

Zedstar: Just leave it

Me: no

Zedstar: And she's a heathen

Zedstar: like me

Zedstar: She don't want none of your religion-ness

Me: i want to know what's wrong with me being taller

than a girl?

Me: sorry if i like small girls

Zedstar: Being THAT much taller is intimidating

Me: but newsflash - i liked small girls before i got into anime

Zedstar: So?

Me: so, why is it intimidating?

Zedstar: It's that SMALLER people feel threatened by BIGGER

people

Zedstar: Because you could step on her

Zedstar: Jesus

Zedstar: it's a fucking common thing

Me: if i were to utilize my height in a threatening manner it

would be intimidating

Me: i don't want to hear about your underwar

Zedstar: what ABOUT my underwear?

Me: sorry

Me: i thought you wrote "fucking common thong"

Me: really bad i know

Zedstar: ah

Zedstar: Yes

Zedstar: I'm not really into them

Me: buttfloss

Zedstar: WHY pay for undies that AUTOMATICALLY give

you a wedgie?

Me: what kind of undies does she wear?

Zedstar: That brand "Bill's NEVER going to see"

Zedstar: THAT brand

God that was fun. I mean, really really fun!

And for the record, I don't intend to hit on her tomorrow, but the important thing is that Zadie thought I was going to.

Master The Possibilities...

So I got a credit card. Whee!! I placed my first internet order today, along with the happy fun time goodness that waiting two weeks for my order brings. In addition to this, I also used money I earned from work to purchase some heavily discounted Box Sets at JB Hifi. This consisted of the Evangelion Movie Collection and the first two Seasons of the West Wing, which I have love for.

Yes, it's American and yes it's American Politics, which are the template for failed systems in many third world countries, but nonetheless it has Martin Sheen kicking ass in it and it has the girl playing Zoe, the President's daughtet.

Damn she is hot. Like, whooooo!!!

Anyway, I shall return to my ICQing and fun.

And Some More...

Christmas Approaches

Yep. Done my shopping. All good.

Check this out. Basically Penny Arcade set up a wishlist at Amazon.com and told people about it. The idea is that all the stuff people bought on it goes to the Seattle Children's Hospital. Nice sentiments, nice use of Geeks.

Particularly though, is some of the photography. Such as this which is what 87 GameBoys look like when photographed by somebody who knows about focus.

Which is something the projectionist neglected to learn about when I saw Scary Movie 3 last week.

Whirlwind Updata

Haven't posted for a while, but you can see that. Those of you that care.

Long stories short, making an attempt not to bitch self pityingly about shit you don't care about.

1. Went out a few times with a girl who I thought (still think, but won't admit it because that hurts) was (is) amazing. She was cute, we had bulk stuff in common, we're both doing uni degrees that lead to penniless artistic destitution, and she was nice. Didn't work out, I ended up confused, usual story for me, if you read the back issues of the blog.

2. Work is good. I like money. I like employment. That is nice.

3. Two good friends of mine started going out without telling me, leaving me to find out from disturbed BAS people. According to another friend this may be because they know I'm kind of down about the whole dating thing, seeing as my attempt to conform to the world's patterns failed, thus leaving me with a mail-order Russian as a last resort, and they didn't want to aggravate me. Actually, I'm miffed that they didn't tell me. I mean, I'd rather they be happy with each other than some loser arseholes.

4. Got my Uni results. Distinction in the subject I desperately needed one in. I busted my arse in that subject and I'm happy it pays off. Now my fate rests in the hands of College Committee to see what happens about my Honours application.

That's about it.

I just felt like I needed to update this blog, because I haven't done so for a while.
