WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON?

WHY IS SNOOP DOGG MAKING COUNTRY MUSIC???

Drums!

Current Mood: shocked

Just quickly, we have been to see Speed Racer. I'm not entirely sure what happened, but it was awesome.

Bright, flashy, funny and just a little bit weird. If you think it looks interesting, go check it out.

Now to sleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep

Current Mood: hyper

Do I want an iPhone?

I need a new phone, but it concerns me that I never even considered an iPhone before today's announcement.

Current Mood: contemplative

Hey, wrestling fans... you remember how we were going to have people over a week ago to watch Judgement Day?

WWE'S ONE NIGHT STAND

Show was broadcast today. Paul's described the card as "exactly the same as the last PPV, only everything's on Extreme Rules this time". So it looks like you guys didn't miss anything!

Anyone wanna watch this this week?
Pru, I can give you the file or watch it with you or something when you get back.

Current Mood: tired

Exciting news everyone!

I have purchased a vacuum cleaner!

This is my first ever vacuum cleaner. Don't ask how we cleaned the house before this. Unless you've ever been here, in which case you know :/

It was cheap, but it's pretty awesome, and bagless so we don't have to stuff around so much to empty it. This was the culmination of yesterday's household shopping trip to The Staf. Paul initially went to buy a new microwave, I went to buy microwave popcorn, and Andrew went for general groceries. We also ended up with Wendy's Rocky Road shakes, which were pretty awesome.

Friday was a day of mixed blessings. The day was pretty awesome right up until about 4pm. Team Meeting was good for me, in that a system I suggested last year is finally getting implemented due to more customers coming back from off-shore. Then I won the workplace Pay Day Lotto, which I'm fairly sure is illegal, but earned me $100 for my $2 ticket. And I had my PDR meeting with my Team Leader, and he marked me up in both areas of the report, so I'm obviously doing better at my job than I feel like I'm doing day-to-day. Bonuses are being paid by work this month, so hopefully I can give my mum some good news in a couple of weeks.

Then everything went to shit and I ended the day with a massive outstanding workload. But at least my TL's agreed to give me time on Monday to sort out the mess.

All in all, things are pretty OK right now.

Current Mood: okay

w00T! The CDs I ordered from Japan Friday night arrived today! That's faster than usual!

Now my (current line-up) Maximum The Hormone catalogue is complete, and I picked up the more recent Chokesleeper album. Good listening times ahead!

I still have my Gold Class ticket to spend, and I'm thinking Indiana Jones might be the best time to do that. Probably at a weekend session, and I'd prefer a time of day where I won't feel guilty using my $10 bar voucher to full effect. Anyone interested in a group outing? Expensive, I know, but fun!

Now back to the city for DDRage.

Current Mood: excited

I bought 2 of the most awesome product concepts ever devised while out shopping last night.

First - Cookies and Cream flavoured black tea. I haven't had any yet, but I can only imagine the pleasure that awaits me.

Second - wait for it... Flame Grilled Steak and Caramelised Onion flavoured Pringles.

THEY TASTE LIKE STEAK. It's like there's a steak in my mouth, and everyone's invited.

I wish I could say those were the most awesome things that happened to me this week. What wasn't awesome was having to work on Monday. Our desk supports Federal Government, and since it wasn't a public holiday for THEM, it wasn't a public holiday for US.

It was, however, a get paid double-time-and-a-half day! And since it gave us a chance to catch up on our work, we were set a goal for the day, with a prize given to a randomly selected team member if we reached it. I'm on early shifts atm, so I wasn't there when the results were tallied.

Turns out we reached our goal. And the randomly selected team member was me. My prize: a free Gold Class movie ticket, and a $10 bar voucher :D

Anyone wanna go Gold Class sometime?

Muse GH3 track pack has been downloaded. Exo-Politics and Super Massive Black Hole are pretty easy :(
Stockholm Syndrome however will break me.
They could have picked more interesting tracks from that album than Exo-Politics. That wasn't a single was it?

It's time for the weekend. Which means also time for more GTA IV, which has been occupying my every spare moment since I got it last week. It's good. It's just good. And multiplayer is ridiculously fun. Load up a bus with 4 guys and hoon around the city taking out as many cops as possible :D

Current Mood: pleased

Sweet!

Muse DLC Pack for Guitar Hero 3 coming next week!

"Exo-Politics"
"Supermassive Black Hole"
"Stockholm Syndrome"

Instant buy! Pity the DLC releases at a snails pace with GH3, some of these packs are actually pretty good.

Current Mood: surprised

This just in: Iron Man was fucking rad. Stay through the credits.

This also just in: GTA IV is also fucking rad. I actually feel bad about speeding and shooting people. Stupid storyline missions that make you do both.

Current Mood: surprised

So!

I was supposed to be going to see Iron Man tonight with Pru and Paul but they BAILED on me, and will instead be going on Monday during the day.

Sadly, as for some reason I'm not employed in the state of Queensland, it's not a public holiday for me.

As such I will require a trip to the cinema THIS WEEKEND.

WHO IS WITH ME? Iron Man better be so fkn rad.

Also I have purchased GTA IV. Art thou happy now, Liamo?

Current Mood: excited

I just got the worst news by e-mail.

Someone beat my Audio Surf score for Bobby Brown - My Prerogative :(

I think my score for Blame It On The Rain is still intact tho.

Current Mood: crushed

Got a flu shot at work today. It was free! With free lollipop!
This has been the highlight of my week so far.

Seriously raging out at work in the afternoons. Which I feel shit about. At least at Hotkey I knew I hated working there. With Optus I feel like I should like the job, it's driving me fucking nuts.

Cannot leave. Not yet. Probably too early to give up, but is this kind of stress ever really worth it? But then wtf would I do otherwise?

DDR SupaNOVA2 has arrived at Replay, with what appears to be a new cabinet. This would be the first 'new' cabinet for DDR since John bought the 2nd-hand 3rd Mix back in... 99? 2000? Still, it's good to see people excited about playing again.

DDR-folk BBQ this weekend. Will be nice to get out and about during the day. Before resorting to alcohol-based fun in the evening.

Hello everyone.

WRESTLEMANIA XXIV
Sunday, 2PM

Anyone who's interested in checking out the year's biggest (hopefully) PPV (at least from the WWE) is welcome to join us. Give us a shout if you need the address or directions.

We'll probably finish up around 6pm and grab dinner if anyone wants to hang around.

Now to head off to Supanova!

The last couple of days I've been getting spam mails with the subject line "Your neighbour naked". Which didn't seem to be anything unusual by spam standards. Then I received this today:

"Your mom naked"

On what planet is that something the average person would be interested in seeing????

Current Mood: confused

It's that time of year again peeps...

WRESTLEMANIA XXIV

Wrestlemania will be taking place this coming Monday our time. Since this is an hour longer than the other PPVs, and 90% of the time of a slightly higher quality, we like to make a bit more of an event out of it and invite along those who might not be up for this kind of thing every month.

The original plan was to hold the viewing on the weekend after, but it has occured to me that that is Supanova weekend, and I for one was planning to go. I don't have to be there the whole weekend though.

Would people still be interesting in catching Wrestlemania on the Sunday afternoon? Or will we need to put it off another week? Or try mid-week?

Bearing in mind that I said 90%, ( the following matches have been announced so far... )
