Personal

As I type this I am absolutely buggered. I have been running on a minimum of sleep for a while now. This, of course, is entirely my fault. I can’t remember what I did Friday night anymore… something. Saturday night we headed out to the lovely South Beach area to check out some cool places. There were a few spring breakers about but not as many as one would expect since South Beach can get bloody expensive. We ended up at a really, really cool hotel on the beachfront called the Shore Club. ...

If I ever happen to call you and get your voicemail, and I’m within reach of my computer or iPod, you will get a power ballad left on your voicemail. I promise. Recent victims have received Michael Bolton’s song mentioned previously, Heart’s “Alone”, Pat Benatar’s “Love is a battlefield” and Def Leppard’s “Love Bites”.

I’m bored at work, well, it’s 6pm and I feel like dribbling on my blog. You’re reading this so you must be bored too. Or maybe you’re finding something to kick start your day. Look elsewhere! I like to start my work day with a bunch of questions and my objective is to get answers to all of them by the end. Today is not one of those days as I haven’t answered any of the questions and I actually have more questions than I started with. yay! ...

Hold on… this is sounding a lot like last year. Actually, this year was a little better. I ended up giving someone a Valentine’s gift, and I dropped it off at 7am on their front porch on one of the coldest Florida mornings I can remember. Of course, we ain’t getting blizzards down here so I can’t really complain. So last year I actually listened to some Rammstein. Maybe if I listen to the right sort of music, I can actually convince myself that everything is ok. How about “I feel loved” by “Depeche Mode”? ...

UPDATED: Lou is actually looking normal now! He/she/it got rid of the buoyancy problem and is discovering the bottom of the fish tank. I’ve posted about this fish before, but Lou’s resilience and battler attitude has impressed me. It’s a sign that even though something bad in your life may have happened (in this case, the swim bladder is all screwed up), then you can still keep charging along. Or maybe the fish is just thinking “when the hell are they going to let me f#%ken die?” ...

Have been made to this post. I somehow got my iPod working again and another third of the pictures have been processed and the ones I like uploaded.

I could not stop laughing when I came into work last week and found that someone had modified a Spiderman poster in photoshop by replacing Peter Parker with an image of myself. Hats off Mark!

This is awesome. iTunes has picked up some classic NBC shows and one of them is Knight Rider. I couldn’t really remember what happened in the episodes anymore - all I can remember is enjoying watching the show as a kid. It’s so 80’s, it’s awesome, I love it.

Last Saturday (as in Dec 3rd) I had my birthday party and unfortunately, people got to see the bad side of me. Well that’s if you call throwing water at people and cursing in German *bad* *things*. I also spent a bit of the night dancing around a sombrero and throwing packets of tim tams at people. Problem with all the above is that I can’t remember doing any of it. I can remember up to the short cricket game we played outside (short because we were hitting neighbours’ cars with the tennis ball and decided to get back inside before the police got called), but after that the night is pretty much forgotten as far as I’m concerned. Forgotten that is if it were not for cameras. Some people got pictures of me doing these things and looking rather unwell and I’m scared. I haven’t seen any of these pictures yet. God knows what I’m doing in them. I have a feeling that pretty soon I’m going to get some pictures in my inbox and I’m going to think “ha, what a dic…. hold on, that’s me.” ...

my birthday! Yay! Good on ya December 8th.
