Day 20 of NaBloPoMo

Continuing on from the last entry: I went to the game of indoor last night, and after a prolonged warm-up not feeling any back problems, and seeing that we had only four other players (five are needed for a full team), I decided to play.

I, and the team in general, had a pretty good game. We won a tight contest, eventually edging the other team out 6-4 after it was locked at 4-4 going into the final few minutes. They were a very rough team, the problem being that all of their players were committing … Read more →

Day 19 of NaBloPoMo

I just finished watching the end of the Red Bull Air Race World Series event that was being held in Australia (Perth, to be exact) today. I'm a big fan of the Air Race, I always try to catch it whenever they show an event on TV. It was good to see the extremely likeable Hungarian pilot, Peter Besenyei, take out the Perth event.

However i've got to say how crap the Perth track was in the race today. It was way too simple, and especially compared to the tracks from some of the … Read more →

Day 18 of NaBloPoMo

WARNING: Washing and cleaning can be dangerous!

Well, at least it was for me today. The washing machine stuffed up on our first load (the towels): it didn't spin them because the load became unbalanced and left some very soaked and very heavy towels.

In trying to wring the water out of the towels, I managed to tweak something in my back, which after a few minutes, promptly started to cramp. Very painful, and Dr Mum came over with some Deep Heat.

That was the end of the cleaning for me, which also meant that I … Read more →

Day 17 of NaBloPoMo

I mean really tgif. This week was one of the toughest weeks at work that i've had for a long time. Next week should be a lot better once my partner-in-crime returns from leave.

Today I went into the city and bought Family Guy Season 5 on DVD, i should be watching the hilarity that it is over the next few days.

Freaky: right now whilst typing out this entry, i have my entire iTunes library on shuffle, and The Weekend by Michael Gray just came on. How appropriate. That's live blogging for you!

Speaking of … Read more →

Day 16 of NaBloPoMo

We are now just over half way through NaBloPoMo, and I really don't feel like doing an entry tonight, so this will be a short and sucky one.

Work today bad, same as yesterday. However, It seems my complaints yesterday about the hot weather was heard by whoever controls the weather: we're experiencing an unprecedented cold snap all the way down the east-coast. It's snowing down south, and today in Brisbane was very windy and a bit chilly.

It's amazing seeing the white pictures from down south, I wish I was there. All this cold, and … Read more →

Day 15 of NaBloPoMo

Today whilst going to lunch to get my required Nando's hit for the week, a massive and quite quick storm hit Brisbane at around 1pm. This is the biggest weather we've had in a long time: the amount of rain, the force of the wind, not to mention the hail, made it quite a lunch break.

Business's hanging signs were ripped off and tossed around, and in all about 15 minutes later, the sun was out shining again. The afternoon summer storms always seem to be like that in Brisbane. You see the green clouds building … Read more →

Day 14 of NaBloPoMo

Watch that calendar on the left fill up with 'this-day-has-an entry' colour. Comparing it to previous months, it is quite an amazing and different sight.

As you can probably tell, I haven't got that much to blog today. Today at work was particularly busy: it somehow managed to out-do Monday on the busyness scale, which is always impressive. Thus today was more about rushing to do stuff rather than noticing stuff that could be blogable.

To put at least some content in this entry, there is a fascinating news article out of the US about someone … Read more →

Day 13 of NaBloPoMo

Man, if I thought that I was sore yesterday, than today was another thing altogether.

Starting at last night: right after writing last night's blog entry, I went off to play the first game of the new indoor season. It was one of those really weird games, a game that was truly a tale of two very differing halves.

In the first half I was on absolute fire. Barely half-way through the half I had already scored a hat-trick, all three of them really decent attempts: the first was a left footed goal (all … Read more →

Day 12 of NaBloPoMo

Last night after Church a lot of our usual Saturday night 'after church' group went (via Hungry Jacks) to an video arcade at Garden City where we could play unlimited games for two hours for $15 each.

The highlight of the games (at least for me) were very competitive air hockey matches. I played almost everybody last night and beat all of them at least once.

Still undefeated after about 8 or 9 matches, and just after vanquishing Andrew for the second time in the night, he managed managed to talk me into a final rematch. … Read more →

Day 11 of NaBloPoMo

For some reason i'm not feeling too flash today. It could be that I may be coming down with something, or it could have something to do with the KFC i ate for dinner last night. Either way i'm not feeling that good.

Anywho, after getting married earlier this year of course our finances are a lot tighter than than before we got married. The home loan, body corporate fees, rates, electricity, phone, internet, health insurance, contents insurance, car insurance, car rego, petrol, and food are all things that we didn't have to pay for this … Read more →
