Awesome trip down to Tauranga and the Mount; Saturday was a bit of a crap weather day, but today was sunny as and the views from the top of Mt Maunganui are awesome - it's such a random mountain as well, like it was plonked on randomly to the beachy peninsula.

Academy also played my piece and it sounded 900% better this time than the last time they played it; I got to conduct bits of it and it made me smile :D

I hate daylight savings cause now I'm sleepy as

Also; why would you have a website but not an email address?? DIE
You know what reallly needs to stop?

Website login forms which auto-focus on the username field when the page finishes loading. I can't remember how many times I've entered my password into the PLAINTEXT username field because someone was trying to "save me time". All 'autofocus on pageloads' should die, because lets face it nobody waits for the page to finish loading before starting to type.

One table is occupied with a group playing Magic: The Gathering, a card-based game that requires a 20-sided die and, evidently, the ability to make voices in the high-pitched style of Monty Python. Magic is an RPG, or role-playing game, and the guys in the cafeteria morph into elves and trolls and other sorts of fire-breathing characters.
