brisbane
Brisbane was a lot of fun. Wet and wild, Byron Bay, The Delgados, laughter, tears, sunburn and drunkens.
Apparently my last post about the jetstar 30 mins rule was stressful. I think that may have actually been it’s intention, to stress that it was important not to be late. Anyway, no-one was and it was all good. I rate Virgin about 10 times better than jetstar though – better check-in system, allocated seating, better menu, nicer cabin crew, better uniform
life stories
I was watching X-factor and they made all the contestants get up and talk about the happiest and saddest times in their lives. I thought it was a bit personal to put on TV and then when I watched them all trot out the same answers it became almost boring, I was desensitised to their emotions.
“I have a beautiful wife and two fantastic kids and they are the best things in my life”
“The hardest time for me was when insert family member here had insert disease or death here”
So basically, if these things haven't happened to you yet, you can expect them to occur sometime soon, cause they happen to everyone. Is that too negative?
wenches, muslims, pagans and Christians
It was o-week last week and the plaza was filled with all the different clubs and societies. Everybody cohabitating in relative harmony, nice to see. Relative harmony I say because I did hear the *#$*#** Christian’s saying to the Pagan society “DON’T CALL US THAT”, but the muslim’s didn’t seem to mind being next to the busty wench cleavage of the medieval society, and the medieval society didn’t mind sharing their jousting ground with the kendo association either.
who are you?
Me: ‘how funni is the medieval society’
J: 'it's kind of good, they dress up and have battles and stuff'
J: ‘I signed up for that in first year’
Me: ‘hahahah, medieval society, hahaha’
in other news, cause im finding it hard to make time to update
Went to matchroom poker on Sunday, went out about half way, tg 13th rk 7th, chd and btr went out early, but besides my lack of good results and accidentally posting the big blind when I wasn’t on the big blind, it was heaps fun.
Family spending lots of time in hospital lately, 2 emergency room visits within the last week, also I got mum to try ‘marakesh cigarettes’ as she calls them to help with chemo side-effects, although through a vaporiser so there’s no smoke involved, said she slept like a baby, but then hasn’t really tried again since, apparently she doesn’t like the taste. Pretty funni when I accidentally blurted out "omg, it reminds me of being 15 again", also funni to see mum weighing it on the scales.
Also been looking at many low level care facilities for nanna lately too, remind me when I’m 50 to book in a good one cause there is some serious disparity in quality out there and some serious competition for places. Went to a good one (nice bar, card room, pool tables and hairdresser onsite) one morning with my sister and there was a serviced apartment available, but by the time we went back with nanna in the afternoon it had sold.
Sister having her 30th soon, yey, should be a good one, she has put me in charge of invitations and music.
Yoshimi (netty team) has made it into the grand final! Despite being out of my shooting form on Monday, we battled through 3 quarters and dominated in the 4th to make it through. If we win, we get our team photo taken and then played on the tv everyweek.
Good to see rkruok back up and running. ¶ 4:54 PM
