30-Mar-2005 8:40a - On the long weekend

I finally managed to get my butt to Wanted, a ravery nightclub event thats always held on thursday night. Friday was a public holidays so it was a good opportunity to check it out.. it was at T2 nightclub at taylor square, and it was very small.. but the music was great!

Spent the rest of the weekend hanging out with friends, watching Lost, and playing computer games..

Bumped into Alex from stonewall.. was good to see him - havent seen him in a while. Also very briefly bumped into irish John. Tim came over on monday with his iPod and danced around a lot :-).

So back at work now.. next long weekend is for Anzac day. I was thinking of taking this Friday off.. but I dont think I will anymore. I've got quite a few holiday days saved up now. Hmm.. i want to buy a 160Gb or 200Gb hard drive off ebay. And now i am inserting another random sentence in my weblog. Bye!

Had a great weekend. Hung out with the crew on saturday night and we were pointing out a couple of people as they were walking past our cafe.. then later on in stonewall Julian runs up to one of them and says hey!

So thats how I met Chase :-). He's a pretty cool guy (I wonder if he is reading this.. hi chase!). So yeah we hung out until Sunday night.. went driving to bondi, and back at home had some prawns for dinner.. which leads to my next story..

Went out on Sunday night with Jules & Ben and was sitting at a cafe and started to get really dizzy like I was about to pass out.. so I went home and rested.. and then on Monday was still feeling too dizzy to do much so took the day off work. Was feeling fine by Monday arvo though.. so I reckon it was food poisoning.. and maybe the prawns had something to do with it. Not sure. But feeling pretty much back to normal now although just a little dizzy still. Just ate some chocolate Jonathan was handing out.. yumm!

Yeah thats it. Oh and thanks Julian!! ;-) See ya!

14-Mar-2005 1:19p - Sleepy head

Its monday... I got home yesterday evening after having a BBQ at Kate & Mark's place.. I was so tired for some reason that I just got home and crashed at about 7pm! Didnt get up until 6:45am!

Got to see Ben's new place.. pretty nice place.. also went over to the new suburb being built at Breakfast Point. It looked just like the Truman Show, except apartments.. everything is white - and they all look similar. I went with Julian and we noticed how everything at Breakfast Point sounds like a posh little old lady's idea of an ideal suburb.. there is The Village Green (a park), Garland Mews, the exclusive residents only (no riff-raff!) Country Club.. :-), streets with names like "Admiralty Parade". Pretty funny actually - if only I had a sample clip of Julians voice!!

Saw a huge fight outside the Shark Hotel on Saturday (i think).. some guys were fighting with the bouncers.. and a lot of hard punches were thrown.. they ended up sprawling all over the streets and all the traffic had to stop - everyone waiting in the queue were all watching with fascination.. Ben would have loved it!

I think its about time I upload some more photos - some recent ones too! Might try and do that soon.. anyway, back to work..

10-Mar-2005 1:15p - Get your flashing tshirts!

Yes thats right.. I have a new business - flashing tshirts :-)

On Saturday night was the annual Mardi Gras parade, and I was prepared with boxes of flashing tshirts ready to sell. I went with Julian, both of us lit up with our tshirts, and took a couple of bags of them with us.

We sold a few of them, but not as many as I had expected, so maybe it is time to bump the price down a little. I think I will do better selling to a raver crowd, so I'll have to turn up to the next big rave event and see if I can sell some there.

Went jogging on tuesday night, and was amazed at how far I got... from Darling Harbour all the way to Birkenhead point and around the point, then back to DH. Took me around an hour - so on average 10km/h. I reckon I can kick some butt in the City to Surf this year.

And to top it off, I went rollerblading last night (wednesday) around the city with Sydney Bladers wearing my flashing alien tshirt - at least the traffic can see me coming a mile away! There were about 20 people, and I couldnt believe how many injuries there were - 4 people in total were injured, one ended up going to hospital in an ambulance. He was involved in a fast accident with another blader (who only got scraped on the ground ripping her pants and scraping her knee). I think he must have hit his head hard, and we had to wait for the ambulance to take him away - AND he had a helmet on! Imagine what it would have been like if he didnt.

Another guy misjudged a sharp corner and hit a gutter, flew into the air, rebounded of a springy fence and slammed onto the concrete.. he stuffed up his ankle when he hit the gutter. The guy behind him saw it and decided to take the corner sharper than he intended to avoid the same fate, but ended up turning too fast and sliding, ripping his pants and taking a chunk off his knee.. ouch!

I have decided that I will not be doing the advanced cityskate anymore until I buy myself a helmet! I have seen too many ambulances (and heard even worse stories) on cityskate.

Think I might go to a rave thingy on the weekend if I can be bothered - and if I can convince Julian :-). I want to start making music too.. but I need to get some spare time, and get off my but and do it.

Lunch is over.. better get back to work..
