When I go down to the local takeaway to get a drink I often find myself asking the question: Why do flavoured milk companies (Oak, Moove, etc) think that offering another 100mL on top of a 600mL milk drink would make someone more likely to buy your drink? I like milk. I drink about a glass every day. I used to drink full cream (and would prefer it) until a recent health incident....

Yes thats right, contrary to popular belief, my bedroom actually does have a floor. I managed to prove its existence tonight after moving aside an old phone bill and an even older coles receipt with a coke purchase on it. There was a theory passed around for a number of generations that a floor had once existed in this place, but had become buried after a serious of uncanny natural disasters....

So I woke up early this morning and because of the rumors I had been hearing I opened up itunes to see if the australia store was in fact being launched today. To my surprise it was available so I went and created an account and downloaded a track or two. Prices are at $1.69 per track, which is a bit steep. Singles are a bit over $6 which is also expensive....

Now that I have tuesday evenings free I have been playing bingo at the local club every week for a bit of fun. Last time was particularly successful - I won two meat trays. I think meat is good, but I think my mum would prefer fruit and veg though. $2 is great value for a night of fun and entertainment hanging out with friends and the chance to go home with some chocolate, eggs, or some other food....

So we seem to be having a mouse epidemic at work. Today we have already killed 2. Over the weekend we got 3. This brings the total to about 11 or 12 in the last couple of weeks, which strikes me as being a rather large number. I wonder where all these mice are coming from and how many more are still to be killed? Presently the supply seems limitless. Maybe there is some tasty morsel hidden in the building somewhere or a breeeding zone....

I rocked up to work today and my boss is ‘dealing’ with a mouse caught in a mouse trap with the blunt end of a stick. Animals with exoskeletons are much easier to kill for some reason. I don’t mind crushing a spider or cockroach underfoot, but something with fur is a little harder. Especially when its dirty and it will stink and there is no good meat on it to eat....

Hmm, this thing needs an update. Well after deciding over two months ago I would take some time off I’m finally going to do it this week. I really should have taken it earlier. Oh well. Last week my brother bought MacGyver season 1 on DVD and I bought Firefly and TinTin. I have since discovered that DVD boxsets are a huge contributing factor to my present tiredness. So far I have watched 3 of 6 MacGyver discs (2 in the last 2 days), all of FireFly and 1 of 6 TinTin discs....

Hello those who still check this site. Its been a while. I figured I probably should update this so total readership doesn’t end up equal to or less than zero. The desire was to, in one fell swoop, move to my freshly installed, but still highly generic, content management system on my own domain/hosting. However in my true form I have only half started with no clear intention of actually finishing it off....

Mylo has a track out called In My Arms. Now that may not seem like noteworthy news until, that is, you realise the main sample in the song is from an old Boy Meets Girl song, called Waiting for a Star to Fall. Now unlike the two songs mentioned in my earlier post here, this track is a welcome dose of variety. Besides just having a short sample of the phrase “in my arms” repetitively used throughout, a highly predictable structure, and a severe lack of redeeming features besides its ‘dancability’ it is still much better than having two independent acts releasing essentially the same remix....

For those who care, I replaced my torch batteries today. So I have now replaced the original batteries that came with the torch when I bought it over two years ago at the start of 2003. Over those years it has faithfully served me on a number of camps, a hike, and lots of other frequent occasions. After reaching its approx 150hours battery life the batteries finally gave up. Actually I think they gave up about a month or so ago when I noticed a dimming in the torches once radiant glow....
