Legacy

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....

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....
