18-Sep-2006 - Sun, Sand and Sounds

On the weekend I discovered a new nightclub night called Basscode. It at the Golden Palace hotel in chinatown, and it was really cool.

I went with Julian and we stayed for a few hours until it was jam packed and then left.

Earlier that day the weather was absolutely fantastic. We went to Manly beach and Jules bought himself a new pair of blades. Then we bladed about soaking up the sun and the manly beach atmosphere.

Hooray! Now we can go blading again. Ok back to work..

11-Sep-2006 - Time to get soaked

Well its the 5th anniversary of the attacks on the World Trade Centre, and the other events on Sep 11, 2001. So is the world a better place now than 5 years ago?

Its been raining all weekend and its still raining. I'm writing this in bare feet because my shoes and socks are soaked. On the way to work today it was absolutely pouring down. The hardest i've seen it rain in a long time. Some of the roads looked like they were flooded. The dams need the rain though!

I've been increasing my jogging to the level I was at a few months ago. This weekend was meant to be my first 10km jog in about 2 or 3 months. But it rained and rained and rained. I really wanted to go, and on Sunday it finally stopped pouring for a bit, so I put on my earphones and shorts (it was cold!), and headed out. By the time I got to Anzac bridge (about 2km into the run) it started pouring down.

I figured if I went home now I would be completely soaked by the time I got home so I thought 'Bugger It!' and continued for the full 10km. I was completely drenched - not a dry spot on my body. My key pouch thingy is still wet today, and I've got clothes everywhere at home drying out. People in Balmain were looking at me strangely as I jogged past them with all my clothes sticking tightly to me, my hair flattened over my forehead and looking like a drowned rat.

Its the first time I've really gone for a jog in the rain like that, and it was quite fun actually! On the way back it really started to rain hard and I think there was a bit of very small hail coming down.. because it was starting to hurt on the way back on the Anzac bridge. As soon as I got back indoors I had a warm shower and put on some dry clothes.. ahhhhhhh.

On Friday Tim H messaged me asking me if I wanted to go to with him and Ben C to Club Blink. Its an alternative goth-ish type nightclub. I've never been to anything like this so I went along to see what it was like.

It was actually not too bad. Obviously the music wasnt my type of music, but some of it was not too bad. I was surprised how full it got at the end. Tim had a bit of a dance but me and Ben werent really up for it and ended up just lazying around :-)

I might go again... maybe.

Last night I went clubbing with Julian. I got soaked (yet again!), but this time on the dancefloor :-). Was a lot of fun, and we watched some half raver type guy doing some half shuffling in his phat pants hehehe. Was quite funny. I cant wait until Prophecy! :-)

5-Sep-2006 - Steve Irwin and Wikipedia

I guess its a tribute to both Steve Irwin and Wikipedia that by the time I had read the news about Irwins death, the wikipedia entry had already been updated with the details.

Thanks for the enthusiasm Steve. Crocs rule!
