Where's Wally?


It's been a good long time since I've done a proper blogging, so you might be curious as to what I've been up to.

- Cable has been installed! This pretty much gives you an idea of what I've been doing with my time. Because of his brilliant ingenuity, Ben was able to wire it up so that we now have booming surround sound not only through the DVD player, but also through the cable. And sure enough, What Not to Wear was one of the first programmes I watched. God bless Foxtel and its habit of repeating shows ad nauseum.

- Luke's guest stint on McLeod's Daughters aired. His debut as Rhys was highly enjoyable and exciting, and will hopefully lead to further guest stints. If so, expect many more posts comparing him to both Heath Ledger and Woody from Toy Story.

- Ben turned 21 the other week. MANY HAPPY RETURNS, B!!! Luke and I actually hit the casino after Ben's club-set festivities, where I tried my hand at roulette, then cashed out almost immediately after having doubled my money. I think Luke was fairly disgusted with my lack of recklesness, but I was simply happy to have won cab fare home.

- Other birthday news consists of Sarah Chuah having her birthday the day after Ben's, and Li-Kim having her TODAY! Happy birthday to both the Chuah girls! Why are you all born in September???

- Bushido Blade finally arrived in the mail. Playing it without someone else is like playing chess by yourself ... you really need a real live opponent to gut for it to be truly enjoyable.

- Many more details about the Justice League movie have come to light, including potential plot spoilers (which, if they're true, are enfuriating!) So expect some more bullshit about that.

- Other topics I intend to write about (but probably never will) include positive versus negative hip hop, favourite music videos, Lex Luthor as reflection of contemporary fears, and what is this weird growth on my neck (relax, Mum, that last one was a joke! There is no growth!).

- I tried ordering another shirt of Threadless, but it was completely sold out less than 24 hours after going up. I had one in my trolley and everything! They were down to 5, and the one I was in the process of buying got pinched! BAH! It was really cool, too. It had Mr White and Mr Orange from Reservoir Dogsas little crayon men, acting out a scene from the movie. Hopefully I'll snag it on reprint.

- I've been given free tickets to see Clive James speak on Sunday as a thank you for organising books for his tour. Unsure of whether or not I'll be arsed to attend, but given the (probably completely imaginary) pressure I feel to not let the side down, I'll probably go.

- I feel like I'm forgetting something, so I'll keep writing until I remember.

- No, nothing's coming to mind.

- Damn.

- Guess that's it then.

- See ya!

Is it cool to not go to Clive James? Because I've been doing that all my life and I don't feel any different!

Besides, when I wrote this I hadn't totally confirmed with you. So nyah. And for all I know Ben's harbouring a secret man-crush on ol' Clive and wants to take my place.
