monday

sorry for the late post, but i've just been playing Batman: Arkham Asylum, the best game ever. anyway, some random 21 yr old chick called mindy from paris added me on msn. Unlike vincent's story, i have no explanation as i have never been to paris nor know any 21 yr olds. so i have blocked and deleted her. no further 21 year old Parisians have contacted me since.

Office quote of the day: What is wrong with these people? They have no willpower. I went-- I once went twenty-eight years without having sex. And then again for seven years.

That is all

SATURDAY

I answered my phone yesterday to this completely random guy who just went "Holy shit!" to a background of laughing people and then suddenly hung up. The explanation of this is that Raymond wrote my phone number on a wall in Luna Park saying "Alex likes cock". I've been harrassed over the few weeks with random texts and phone calls.

Watched Black Hawk Down today and it's a pretty good movie about, among other things, why war sucks.

friday

Yes, i know its not actually friday but i forgot ok? That's the problem with holidays, you lose track of time. In my case i think its a very long weekend, so i think everyday is either a saturday or sunday, until i remember what the day really is because of whats on tv. Ahhh.. tv, where would mankind be without it? My holidays have been extremely boring and tedious, with nothing better to do other than play psp, batman, imagine being batman, watching movies and watching tv. I have not exited my home in quite a while and feel quite lonely, but then i realise i am never lonely with tv around. God/Buddha/Vishnu/Zeus/Other gods bless tv.

THURSDAY

Hello faithful reader. I assume you must spend a good deal of time on the internet in the holidays. That's ok. We all have our ways of passing the time. Some of us choose to expand our social wealth, attending social gatherings to meet new people. For those without the option, perhaps you can complete something you've never had the time to do. A book, a tv series, a video game. There are many ways to have a nice relaxful rest from school and I'm sure that they're all equally as good (with the exception of course, to those doing tutoring work and whatnot).

Today I spent a good amount of time adding album art to all my mp3 files and it was quite exhilarating to go through a well fleshed out cover flow on my iPod. Unfortunately there's a large cesspool of badly tagged songs that missed out on being album-arted but that's work for another day.

I also started reading some really old Superman comics. How cool is this:


That's all I have to say about that.

wednesday

Apologies for not blogging for so long, but i will probably make up for it with an extra extra long post some time in the future. On another note, i am completely up to date with all of my tv shows i.e. The Office (finished watching seasons 3-5 in the holidays) Glee and Top Gear. Although i haven't watched season 5 of House yet so maybe not up to date with ALL of my tv shows.

Office quote of the Day:
Michael: I'm sensitive to gays alright? I watch the L word and Queer as F***.
Jan: That's not what it's called.

That is all

TUESDAY

I missed a lot during the past 11 days. I went on a plane to New Zealand on Christmas which meant that not only was my Christmas spent on a plane, it was also cut short by 2 hours due to differing time zones. I also was asleep when the new year came in, which hasn't happened in a while. Louie also seems to have taken over my blog and ruined my neat titles of days spelt in capital letters. Moving on.

My family do some pretty cheap things on holidays. Like many, they know how to completely forage a hotel room for free coffee, soap, stationery and cutlery. But there's other things like going to a cafe, using their tables and chairs to have lunch and buying one little cup of coffee so we don't get kicked off. Then there's pretending I'm five years younger so I can get child tickets for stuff, which usually works and can save hundreds. We also went to some pick-your-own orchard and ate at least twice as many cherries as we picked. To save money when holidaying with family friends, we will squash at least three people on a double bed and sleep on the sofas to rent as few rooms as possible.

Sometimes you wonder what's the actual point of going overseas. The majority of the time we were either in a car or watching tv in the motel. We spent one night just going out to see a film. We could have done all of this in Australia.

Of course the holiday was actually fun and New Zealand actually looks as good as it does in Lord of the Rings. (Louie: I saw Mount Doom :D)

Please note this was written very late on my iPod so I apologise for any lack of coherency.
