I had INXS - By My Side play minutes after receiving an email from NRMA. Coincidence? I think not.

My mate David went to Japan over the Christmas break. He went to a restaurant and took a photo of one of the more poorly translated menu items. Being an avid reader of engrish.com I suggested he post it. Instead he gave it to me and I sent it in and four months later it’s now featured on their home page (for the 27th of March). You too can now enjoy the Rosso Spumante....

So I am at work and have completely forgotten what it is that I was meant to be doing today. 4 days is enough time for everything you have about work in your head to leave. Especially if you have other things to distract you more than normal. Employers must hate 4 day weekends because they know the next day back is going to be more unproductive than a monday usually would be....

Over the last 28 hours I’ve had the pleasure of enjoying some really, really good, catchy songs. The first is “We Don’t Stop” by Michael Franti & Spearhead, off their album Everybody Deserves Music, and the other is “The Promise” by When in Rome, which I heard on the credits to Napoleon Dynamite1. There are songs that I consider good, in that they are memorable tunes that leave a lasting impression and are worth owning on CD....

I’ve come up with a new way to listen to my music. In the past when I’ve listened to music I’ve just picked an artist and started playing their music on shuffle. I was kinda getting bored of that and had some inspiration this morning on a new way I could experience my music. My new technique involves creating a playlist in iTunes where half the songs are from one artist, and the other half a from another artist....

Well its now been a year since I drank my last coke. For those who care I now get my caffeine fix from coffee, so I can’t say that its been entirely healthy. During this year I gave away 1 large coke from MacDonalds and threw away another because I forgot to change it to something else. I also managed to go through an entire week long camp without a coffee or a coke, which is quite an achievement considering that in previous years I had averaged more than 4 cans of coke a day and was staying up till at least 2am and waking up at no later than 8am....

I bought a big desk yesterday from ikea and built it today. I like big desks. This one is 1600mm by 800mm and I have it set at about 800mm high. So much room. My laptop looks lonely sitting in the middle on its own. Maybe it needs some friends. I totally hate those stupid tiny computer desks and I especially hate keyboard drawers. Your arms have to float in the middle of space and since they’re never the right height this ends up causing sore wrists and other such nonsense....

Okay so I’ve moved out of home. In my room I have a shelf and a bed. I need to buy a chest of drawers, another shelf, a bedside table and a desk. However I have got the internet hooked up. Priorities are important.

Well, as usual it has been a while since I’ve posted here. Apologies to those who have been checking for an update for the last 1.75 months. The biggest thing worth mentioning is within the next couple of weeks I will finally be leaving the shelter and comfort of living with my parents and moving out of home. The most daunting (yet surprisingly good) thing about moving out is that I am now forced to seriously clean up my room....

I’ve often wondered what is the average distribution of fuel caps one the left side of a car compared to the right side of a car. Are there more cars with the cap on the left, or more cars with the cap on the right, or is it about even? You maybe thinking this is a completely trivial question to be asking, but think of how much time you may spend waiting in a queue of cars at a petrol station while trying to get a bowser that matches the side your fuel cap is on and perhaps you can see that there is some method to my madness after all....
