You know what is the worst? When you turn up somewhere expecting to pay $x but having to pay $2x instead. And then realising you have to go back again on Monday, and pay another $x.
Yeah, my car's WOF was coming up (2nd sept), so I thought hmm its pretty close to being due for a service as well anyway, lets do them both at the same time
so yeah. Ahahah. Costs lots. At least they replaced the brake pads (man so much better, you can really tell the difference in braking power...)...but I have to go back in on Monday again. Arrr.
Lol. Okay, so like, today because my car was at the service thing, I wasn't able to make it for my group meeting. And for the 3 or so hours the rest of my group was in the city, they didn't get anything done. It's awesome lol. And then the text i got (which i assume was at the conclusion of their meeting) was all like : "yo can't get the pictures working". I pop on my computer just now, and I get some working in about 5 minutes... lol
And I swear I told them .bmp
Ah well
>.> its not even worth that many % anyway

I think James Patterson is shit. He honestly like, is one of those lame authors who churn out a book every month and urgh I just think you should stop saturating the market. Like Dean Koontz. Ok well I liked some of the books I've read of his but when an author keeps hogging the "new releases" bit, it's a bit of a stupid look.

Good news: not sick.
Bad news: I think I'm getting RSI in my left hand pinky from playing teh cello, it hurts when I apply pressure oh noes?!
It's just a series of complaints with me, isn't it? Haha, but no, I am happy now :) Because I'm feeling heaps better!!
Normal just became super.

King Lear last night I saw, it is very good! Like the plot itself is very cool to be honest; a madman leading the blind? Treachery, loyalty, madness, age; it's all under scrutiny in a brilliant play. And yeah I mean c'mon how often you get to see the Royal Shakespeare Company? And Sir Ian McKellen being a crazy king?
Not often!

So I just went to the doctor.
The receptionist at Vincent St Family Doctors....in a word, sucks. Like, like, lol. I don't want to be mean, but I really have to. she is horrible.
But the doctor himself is cool
luckily he doesnt think there is anything wrong with me.
Very thorough checkup. It involved a stethoscope. That always makes me feel better.
I have prescription,
he said i woiuld probably get better without it also
but at least now i can say yeah i saw the doctor.

There is some sort of weird fate-rubbish going on right now.
So yeah. I'm *really* sick. I feel like a broken record but honestly, I am not used to prolonged illness. Normally it's one or two days and I'm feeling fine again but I've had this ridiculous flu/virus thing for almost two weeks now, shitty nose running, and mucus and coughing and stuff, and now the latest addition to that lineup of complaints is something akin to stomach pain. It's weird. Sometimes I think I'm just hungry (because it sort of like..I can't explain but it could be that) and then I eat stuff and then it just hurts with the bonus of feeling like wanting to throw up.
As you can imagine, working was really bad yesterday.
I really wanna get better by tomorrow because a) band playing b) assignment due
But anyway back to the weird fate-thing.
I forgot to wear a tie today (my thing where I am wearing ties to work) but I called in sick anyway. Because you know, I am sick and all that. I really hate calling in sick. It's like saying "i give up, i can't take this anymore" (but seriously, it is just getting to the stage where i dont want to do anything at all)
I also tried to find a free phone today at uni. There is one near cultural space (filled to the brim with cultural PIs lol) but it didnt work. I ended up using the one @ reception in the AUSA house.
But yeah. More twist-fate.
So I have a test today right. And yeah, obviously I feel like shit. So I wouldn't have done particularly well.
So we're sitting in HSB1, the lecturer turns up, test papers are being handed out...
then BAM they run out of test papers. They needed like 160 and didn't have enough for half the people in the room.
So the test has been moved.
Yeah. After that, I tried to see a doctor @ uni but apparently there was a backlog until like Monday. They said emergency service is available but I'd feel like a twat taking that up. I only met one of the criteria anyway, abdominal pain.
Honestly, the Monday of the holidays, if I still feel remotely like this, it's just gonna be like..
lie in bed

You can find anything online. I found the phone number for Vincent St Family Doctors there.
Man, I love the internet.

3rd December. Saturday. 2005.
Is it wrong to enjoy reading what you'd previously written? Strange. It doesn't seem like reading my thoughts, yet that's what it is.
Jeez that sounds pretentious. As you were! Hope the sick-germ bombs are spreading to everyone so I'm not alone in my misery :) Maybe I'll go cough outside for a bit.
I think that is the meaning of life, to sit around and think about things, until you think you know it all and then you finally realise you are about to die.

1) Driving for longer than an hour in the dark in the rain and if you're stupid with directions like me, is incredibly stressful.
Went to APO concert tonight. It was very good (and worth the stress of the drive to get there) - Ives 3 pieces of New england (or something), then Gareth Farr's Triple concerto and Prokofiev's Romeo and Juliet.
ok Ives
its very modern yay
2nd movement was the best, lots of energy and very eccentric music, totally awesome and vibrant. full of character (and lovely rhythms and interplay between them)
---
Farr's triple concerto (this is the piece i had to hear) - was very cool. the NZ trio were very proficient, the triple concerto: 1st movment very eastern in harmony and flavour, lots of pentatonic stuff left hand on piano played octaves which added to the lushness and lots of string work thick rich kind of like chocolate
2nd movement was cool
3rd movement i believe was started attaca (no break between the 2nd and 3rd ) - highly driving and rhythmical, always a constant pulse
i have notes somewhere but im sure you all dont care
---
prokofiev's romeo and juliet, well, i was kinda waiting for the one that josh groban sings but i guess it isn't prokofiev's lollllzzz it was still cool though and again a lot more "modern" than i thoiught it would be
awesome
---
I was coughing like you know the tickle cough do you have any idea how incredibly painful it is on the mind to try and withhold those coughs >< I was making spastic faces and breaking out into sweats in efforts to curb the coughs. Nice lady sitting in front of me gave me smints and they kinda helped lol. im pretty sure she only gave them to me to shut me up but oh well lol its not like I enjoyed ruining the pepole in A Reserve's time (hahah $120.00 ticket ruined by some stupid student who coughed heaps)
it was real funny too you could tell a lot of people wanted to cough because between ppieces and movements and stuff there would always be a cough-wave
lolz
dammit i hope this sickness isn't goiung to stay much longer, i dont really care for it to be honest

POST 1500
A short history of this Blog follows:
I remember William did some Harry Potter parody, and was hosting it on blogspot. And then he had a blog. And then I had one. The earliest entries were, to be honest, very reflective on just how far we've all come. I mean, devilmatrix? come on lol can you say lame
actually, this blog is still very lame. But the difference is, at least now, it's not contrived lame, just pure unadulterated lame!
This blog has seen me through countless rants about exams both in school and uni, this blog PREDATES FFXI (yeah can you believe that, I sure cannot), has heaps and heaps of hidden secret easter eggs that only I know about (don't bother looking you won't find it), seen me through holidays, overseas trips to Australia, Thailand, taken heaps of complaints about assignments (espeically the ones I do at the last minute, like today...), neuroticism...
It is almost a certainty this blog will not last forever. But the best one can hope for is that before it disappears, I will have the opportunity to record the last...I don't even know, is it 5? years of my life from this digital medium into something that lasts even longer. It's fun to look back.
But it's even greater to be moving forward. All the best!

Today at work, had a competition to see who could sell the most calico bags. Actually, to see who could sell two bags first (and to be honest lol I was very skeptical, considering they are not very well sold)
Well, I won lol, and I sold 4 at teh end of the day (yeah thats right, i won AND kept selling them how dumb is that huh) so I got to pick something to the value of $10.00 out of the paperchase section. i have a nice notebook now yay
