Thanks guys!


....well this has probably been the most boring out of all my 23 birthdays so far. The first one not spent with friends and/or family, because I have an exam coming up tomorrow. Oh well, I've had a couple of good experiences earlier this month to make up for it.

You had an exam last week, too (and on the same day)?

How did it go?

Let's not talk about it and just look forward, eh?

I saw a car today with these words written in the dirt on the back window:

"WASH ME SQUIRREL MASTER"

Made me chuckle.

Only a month has passed and already 2013 is shaping to be worse than last year.

That's sucks, I hope your prediction turns out to be false!

Semi-random: secret(ish) plans afoot for a major move for our family. May take a while, but it's very exciting.

Thanks. And cool news for you. Hopefully in an area that provides great pictures.

Applied for a part time job at my favorite local craft brewery today, super excited. Interview went well, fingers crossed! While I will be working for about 56 hours a week for awhile (ugh) I'm hoping this job turns into something more so I can quit my other job. Baby steps.

Also, I've figured out that things like this just seem to fall in my lap. I wouldn't say I'm a lucky person (Vegas can tell you about that), but things like this seem to always just fall in my lap. For the job I had before my current one, it came at the perfect time before I went to college. Kept it for four years and kept me afloat all through college. Current job was offered to me right out of college and has kept me afloat out of school. This brewery job pops up with potential upward mobility in EXACTLY what I've been thinking I want to do right when I'm thinking I don't like my current job AND right after I get engaged and am worrying about money. It's just... I feel like I don't even know what to say. I feel blessed

Why did I buy grapefruit juice? I don't even like grapefruit.

So, Hollywood has slated Paul Walker to play Agent 47 in a Hitman reboot.

Fuck that shit.

He ain't even bald.

gotta make sure the ladies watch the movie too, I guess!

Shouldn't that be the least of worries for people looking for their 47?

I've been thinking. I have one more entry to my list of contemporary web site making conventions that absolutely piss me off. At the moment there's:
- Mandatory light box overlays for images links, those things always take AGES to open. Needless to say,I like it when sites have them so that middle-clicking opens them normally into new tabs without the BS. Just when we got rid of those javascrip pop-up image links, there's light boxes. Ugh.
- Infinite scrolling. Hate that shit.
- Sites that have to update their looks, layout, or whatever just for the sake of updating. Those always seem to be for the worse...

Now the newest entry. While not nearly as annoying to me as those above, I've grown to dislike this convention more and more recently. It's these link list pages before pages you thought you were going to reach. Like this: -Link-
It just escapes me why people would want to have that. I know, of course to expose people to more links in order to lure them to spend more of their own useful but sometimes oh-so-entertaining lists and articles for shits and giggles. But the actual proper page invariably has more links too, and at least I have never bothered to even look past the first view of links on those pages-before-the-page-you-thought-were-going-to.

And one more thing, what are those page-before-page things called? Is there a proper name for them?

Fuck that, I'm straight but I'd bang Olyphant long before I'd consider Walker.

Yeah, we all hate baldies.

I agree with you. What I don't get is why they couldn't recast him, or cast an Englishman who looks/sounds more like David Bateson for the role. Oh well, I'll be skipping it.

On a different note, our glorious state government has decided to fund millions into upgrading and reopening a previously closed level crossing. It was closed because a train had smashed the manually-operated gates, thus a safety concern. It ranks 223rd on the priorities list. But because it's in a wealthy area and rich cunts demand what they feel is "deserved" be taken into action now, hospitals, schools, and more perilous crossings (in less wealthy areas) are being snubbed. Of course, the politician for this council (Liberal, of course) got her seat on the basis that she would be re-opening this crossing.

Waste of time, money and resources. But then again, fuck the poor and needy.

Every visit to an emergency department (and certainly not just in Australia) reminds me that quite often the words "fuck the poor and needy" must be the mantra of our elected reps.

How we can spend a cent of taxpayer money on building sports stadiums, funding professional sporting codes, building public art or an unnecessary level crossing so that Pruuuue and Suuuue can walk their shitzu through Toorak without taking a small detour, when you have to wait a whole day to see a doctor in the ER if you're not about to die, or you struggle to give your kid a good level of education in a suburb that's on a lower rung of the socio-economic ladder, is disgraceful.

But we all just live with it, because cricket and beer and tv and beer and Michael Bay and beer and shiny things and shut up and drink your beer.
