Oh I knew it all along - on accounta the bouncy-ball ad setting the precedent - but it just makes me so happy to know for sure that that beautiful explodey colours Sony BRAVIA ad is really real!
So a week out from our group project's due date, a member of the once-illustrious Team Steve has quit university! Without having done his sections! We best be gettin' an extension. This is why I fricken hate group projects!! Ohhh man I tell you, if I did not have stuff to look forward to I would be losin' it right about now.
So! I just made like the world's ugliest CV website for myself. Seriously it's all green and white... and I think I may have inadvertently used Coles' latest font. Levenim MT anyone?
Now all the assignments I have are the second part of this one, which is some BS about skills needed in the IT industry; a Scheme program you can use to play noughts and crosses, which I've barely started; a couple sections of a fake animation festival's website and a couple minutes' presentation thereon for a group project; and a 2500 word Critical Game Review on 5 games in the context of either Gender in Games or Violence in Games, I still haven't decided yet.
Those are due Monday after next, except the review, which is the Monday after that.
Then 3 exams in the first week of exam break and I am DONESVILLE for the semester!
Oh hohoho I had hoped writing it out like that would make the tasks smaller somehow, but...?
Ohmigoodness guys I implore you, watch SBS next Saturday night at 10:40. It's been years since last I saw it, but I think it's still safe to recommend Norweigian boyband mockumentary Get Ready To Be Boyzvoiced as a hilariously worthwhile watch.
So happy Labour Day, Queenslanders (and uh, Northern Territory...ders?) Mine is looking to go the way of Strong Bad's (at best), but that's alright... 'snot like I don't have five days a week off anyway.
Ssspeaking of Homestar Runner, whoa a recent toon that actually made me laugh aloud a number of times!? Could it be the Brothers Chaps have resurrected the genius of old? *gasp*
I ended up having KFC for dinner as well. I doubt I'll see any of you in the morning!
On that topic, apparently the Vicks Inhaler I've been snorting has a use by date of August 2005. This is following my realisation last week that the somewhat brown and crusty herbal lemon lozenges I'd been ingesting were in fact five years out of date.
Perhaps that explains all the little pink leprechauns.
This morning I went with my parents to Currumbin after their Dawn Service for to join the throngs gathered to see Powderfinger. RESPECTFUL It was keen! I hadn't seen them before (and barely saw them this time; they were quite small in the distance) and they played "Lost and Running," a song I've totally forgotten at present, "(Baby I've Got You) On My Mind" aaand another song from their upcoming album that I don't know. And apparently the tool I heard on mic check at one point was Kochie? "I've always wanted to do that," he added afterward, seconds before being taken out by Virgin Blue Flight DJ346 Gold Coast to Ambulance Chaser. Nah not really.
And just now I ate so much KFC that I don't think my mortal body will be able to take it. Farewell, physical realm!
Aww, why aren't the Posse ever online at once any more? I miss the days of wild hot uncensored Messenger group convo orgy action. You know, back when none of us had lives? :)
Thanks to our new wireless network, this is the first time my laptop has seen LiveJournal or indeed any of the internet since 2005!! Administrator priveleges! Saved passwords! Firefox!! The internet is suddenly that much more of a beautiful place!
Today I got an email from my Programming lecturer requesting a meeting to discuss "anomolies with [my] assignment" (that one I was whining about a while back). By that, he means "It looks like you cheated you little slut! Get your arse all the way up to Brisbane on Tuesday, a day you don't normally have to go to uni at all, so I can make my accusations and grill yo' ass. Then after the 15 minutes I've alotted you to prove your innocence OR OTHERWISE, piss all the way back to the GC, hence wasting half of what may otherwise have been a day productively spent upon the next Programming assignment which you're half crapping yourself over." Man is he specific! Anyway I hope a) he will respond to my pleading and also somewhat affronted reply email and let me see him on a different day or b) Dad will zip me up and back on the bike so travel is quicker and don't have to waste even more time waiting for trains. [Nerdy specifics: Incidentally I went back over my assignment to see what anomolies he could possibly be referring to, as I was under the impression that my finished project was perfect. ;) It turns out that on ONE OCCASION I incorrectly referred to a parameter called "answer-list" as "answer-code". In the comments. If that is the common-to-one-or-few-others-but-generally-uncommon error that stood out and made me a suspect I will be mightily annoyed.]
Other than that all is dandy! My illness is rapidly retreating after I spent half the day on the couch, which means less entertaining phlegm-related anecdotes but more productivity? Bah. That really isn't a worthy trade-off.
Ahh, news news news. There's always news, just never stuff that I share I suppose.
Content yourselves with knowing that I have like RSI-forearm and blistered thumbtips from ridiculously furious DBZ Budokai Tenkaichi 2-ing. I am cool times
I spent almost all day doing that, but managed to flop out my section of a group assignment in a break in play, so I wasn't totally disgustingly unproductive. And I vacuumed.
Also we dragged Mum Mum took us clothes-shopping this evening. I totally got some new hip new threads? By which I mean four items of clothing. Look out!
So Bax ain't dead, which is good. Obviously I don't think he was poisoned but in retrospect I do think that his craziness was at least a reaction to the theobromine. Also he was super happy to see me this morning, which was random. Anyway!
Case and I met up with Olgs and later Clod at the Town Centre, who then accompanied us back to our place thanks to an unfortunate gastronomic condition of mine (NO NEED TO MENTION IT AGAIN THX). Once here, we proceeded to bore them silly and feed them cheese and baked goods?
I have been playing DBZ Budokai Tenkaichi 2 and man is it a blast, no pun intended - or was it? I'm not normally massive on fighting games - I'm usually a button-masher, the last combos I actually knew were for Mortal Kombat on Mega Drive - but I think I'd really enjoy this game even if I weren't a DBZ fangirl. The gameplay's rather complicated and after attempting to fluke it for a while I relented and took the tutorials. Now I toss kamehamehas with the best of them and boy if it isn't grand old fun. Boom boom!
Also I bought Junior Senior's new(ly released in Aus) album Hey Hey My My Yo Yo yesterday and love it. Better review pending when I'm not so like, indigestion-y.
Frick I ate way too much tonight. T- too much food! Food.
Dad's 50th today; Case and I accompanied him, Mum, and a couple family friends to yum cha in the Valley then checked out their hotel rooms for this evening after they go see America. Swanky stuff. Wish I could afford a swish hotel room.
Now Whit's over and we just saw Suburban Mayhem (and a neat little black comedy it was. Check it out, unless you are averse to excessive cleavage).
I was about to note that I might go play Budokai Tenkaichi 2 to wake myself back up, but now Baxter's freaking me out a bit. Dumb bugger ate a good third of my dad's dark chocolate easter egg while the girls weren't watching, and now (a couple hours later) he's out of control hyper. In fact, just as I was about to type something to that effect, he hurtled into the study full-pelt, took a flying leap onto the spare bed and like, ran into the wall? Fricken hell.
So yes shall keep you posted on that. Better go try and calm this sucker down and see if his hyperactivity's just coincidental.
Ahaha so the latest villain to join the Kim Possible franchise is a giant alien woman who shouts her own name as she attacks, in much the same manner as a Pokémon? And going by the trailer for next week's new ep an overindulgence of Bueno Nacho causes Ron to bloat up into some sort of cheese-hued Hulk ripoff?
