Wow, I should be getting my new laptop sooner than I though, w00t! After being blatantly ripped off on Ebay.com.au last time, I have decided to buy my new laptop from Harvey Norman. I won’t be getting it until late next week, but I am pretty excited about it. This bad boy even has a DVD Burner, which basically means I am going to have to try real, real hard to get my University work done. Also means I will actually be able to back up stuff properly, which I haven’t been able to do since I had my old tape drive – lol.
Last night with Eathan was really nice and I hope he had a good birthday. We had a nice meal and then went an had a few beers afterwards. One of Eathans friends works at Electronics Boutique here in Dubbo and might be moving to Orange soon to manage his own store. I told him that I want his job when he leaves and he laughed at me like I was messing around – bastard – lol.
Next weekend, with any luck, Dean and I should be having a huge one and getting trashed. I haven’t been properly drunk since I lived at College, and that was 2 years ago.
Anyway, here is a picture of the laptop I should be getting and some final words:
Well my friends, take my advice, pull down your pants and slide on the ice!
My brother bought two snakes yesterday.
I hate snakes, they smell like chutney and wheelbarrow tires.
Creepy crawly little things they are.
So what if they are only 20cms long, they will eventually be big and able to kill me.
Unless I kill them first.
Crack their little necks.
Stomp their little faces.
I think I might kill them.
Yes, kill them.
Or, better yet, I will wait till whacking day.
Yes, whacking day.
Don’t know why I am writing like this, yet strangely satisfied.
Yes, satisfied.
This is the megatokyo stuff I bought, minus the mug. I am going to submit it to Thinkgeek for their customer action shots when I take some more photos, with any luck it might get posted. Also gonna take a photo of Shadow on his binary blanket and submit that w00t!
Well, after a very short break, I am kind of back. I really missed writing in my weblog, so I might just start writing but less often. It won’t be like I used to with an update just about ever day, probably just one or two updates a week. Hopefully things should return to normal in a month or so.
Happy Birthday to Eathan for yesterday! One of my best (and oldest – we’ve been pals for about 12 years now?) friends turned 22 yesterday. I am dreading my own two two, but hey, what can you do? Eathan is a great guy and we are having a dinner for his birthday on Saturday night, hopefully I will have a few nice pics to show from that little adventure.
My megatokyo stuff arrived the other day and it was even sexier than I expected. About the only problem was the clip on the lanyard was very flimsy so I took it off and replaced it with my own clip that is less likely to break.
University starts back on Monday, which I am beginning to get a little excited about. It should be a challenging and rewarding semester.
I’ve just finished my design of the new Zoo FM website that should replace their current design (which looks like a retard drew it with a crayola set) in the next week or so. I am doing this site out of the goodness of my heart, but hopefully it might spawn some work with a few local businesses.
Last but not least, for anyone who didn’t notice, I have finished the sites redesign. Currently it is in version 3.01b, because I still have a few things to add, but with any luck it will be working completely soon. I have removed commenting on the site for the time being and just allowed users to email me straight from each entry by clicking “E-mail Comment” at the bottom of the entry. Please click here if you want to report any errors with the new design.
I won’t be blogging for a short while. I just have a lot on my mind and nothing that I can really share on here. I will try and post some links so some fun websites tomorrow. Until my return, stay cool.
As if my last code posting wasn’t enough, I decided to take the Stardate code just a little further and make a form that users can grab the stardate of any date of their choosing. I recommend selecting a date over the year 2323 or else it will come out as a negative value, but other than that, have fun!
Check it out!
Thanks go to John Voysey who wrote the original code for the script, I have merely given it a touch up and extended the functionality. Feel free to use the code as long as the credit to myself and John stays commented inside the code. Thanks.
Okay, you are thinking one of two things right now…
1. I thought you were broke?
OR
2. Isn’t this your third post in one day? NERD!
The answer is “Yes” to both of the above. But about 30 minutes ago, I was *kind of* not as broke as usual, but now I am. Why, you ask? Because Megatokyo merchandise from Thinkgeek was calling. I had to have the graphic novels and then I thought to myself, ‘Mitch, are you stoned or stupid? Don’t spend $27 on postage for just two items!’ So then I grabbed a mug and a new lanyard for my keys.
Here are the links to the stuff I bought in case you wanna see them! :)

Just lately I have been going crazy with my music and driving everyone nuts. No one can stand my music, which is usually Punk, and I find that the most beautiful motivation to play it more and play it loud. NoFx are one of the greatest punk bands to ever live and I just can’t get enough of their song “Lower”.
Lately, my head feels hungover 24/7 and I just can’t seem to hold a thought some days. Today feels better than the past few days, but my head still feels like it is off my shoulders. I hope this all passes before University starts, its only a week or so away now.
Speaking of Uni going back, I am seriously not looking forward to it. Not because of anything except for the fact that it means I have to actually do stuff. Now, before you are hasty and label me “lazy”, hear me out. It’s not that I don’t want to work or anything like that, I’d just like to be able to chill out 6 days of every week, see that’s not too bad is it? lol
Has the world gone mad? Everyone has been crapping on about how this Saturday is the 14th of February, which marks V. Day (closely related to D. Day), but no one has realized – at least to my knowledge – that today is Friday The Thirteenth!
OR MAYBE…
Maybe, everyone has realized that it’s Friday The Thirteenth, but it’s bad luck to talk about it, and no one has told me. And then, the best part; Jason’s hand punches a hole in the back of my skull and he feasts on the warm goo inside (small meal, I know)
OR MAYBE…
Maybe, this was all part of the plan. Friday February The Thirteenth was to be THE Friday the Thirteenth and the entire of human race was supposed to die today. AND the most baddest part of this, they set it there to distract us with a puke-worthy holiday like Valentines Day. Those bastards, well damn the man I say! You can sit there reading my weblog and downloading porn and mp3’s if you like, but personally, if I only have a few more hours to live; I am spending all my savings on beer and hookers. See ya!
10. You make a list of “top ten ways to know that you are bored”.
9. You make up hypothetical conversations to amuse yourself and no one else.
8. You draw a picture of the word “bored” in l337-speak… b0r3d
7. You eat a weeks worth snack food during just one 30-minute infomercial show.
6. Anthony Robbins actually starts making sense. Eep!
5. You ponder the logistics of cow-milking.
4. You are actually almost inclined to read a gossip magazine. *puke*
3. You sit with a pen and paper for 17 hours trying to pencil out the intricacies of time-travel.
2. You read a crappy feng shui book and rearrange your room.
And the number one way to know you are bored: You spray your shorts with a jet of water, making it look like you wet yourself, just for laughs.
Yes. I am bored. Way too bored. Utterly and pathetically bored.
I have my Winamp on loop to continuously play “These Days” by Powderfinger over and over again. It’s a pretty depressing song, but when I think about certain aspects of my life, it really sums up how I feel about myself.
This life well it’s slipping right through my hands
These days turned out nothing like I had planned
Control well it’s slipping right through my hands
These days turned out nothing like I had planned
I look at where I am in life and where I should be. The two really don’t seem to meet at all. When I was going through high school, I worked so hard until I hit year 12. I worked so hard and I threw it all away in my final year. But then, as if that wasn’t bad enough, I got to University and bludged twice as much as I did in year 12. In two years I passed next to no subjects (I should have passed 16).
Sure, I’ve done plenty since leaving College and living back at home, but I can’t help but think where I would be if I was graduating in just 6 months time. I can’t help but think I would be doing so many things I’ve wanted to do, and sooner.
Anyway, that’s already too much of me being depressed. It’s another ridiculously hot day today, so hopefully we will go for another swim. Hopefully we won’t have to look at any old mens penis’ too! lol
Today I went to the pool and had a bit of a swim. This week has been all 40+ degree days. Tomorrow they have forecast a 42 degree day (104 degrees F for all you seppo’s) and I am not looking forward to it.
The point of this post? I hate 50 year old men! You go to the pool, you are cooling off and feeling good, you swim towards the ladder to get out and dive back in. You look up. What do you see? Not blue skies! Not a pretty blonde in a nice bathing suit. No, no, it’s far worse. You see a 50 year old man in speedo swimmers (and then you puke)! Isn’t it disgusting? Don’t they realize that no one wants to look at their shriveled up old *exploited deleted*.
Anyway, not much else is happening. Boring stuff. Uni starts in exactly 12 days and I am really not looking forward to it at all. I am, but I am not – all at once. I am excited to start some *really* hard units and improve my programming skills, for my l33tness must grow, always.
P.S. Just for the sake of not being asked. The title is a reference to that fact that you are swimming in crap whenever you go to a public pool. lol
Valentines is a stupid holiday. Some French loser probably invented a holiday for his boyfriend Valentine and named it after him. It just gives me the shits. First of all you have the crappy couples who spend a million dollars on one another – those people are very dumb. Then there is the depressed single people, man we had heaps of those when I lived at college – I sympathize with these guys, somewhat though.
Valentines is the bigges, most commercial holiday of the year. The worst part is that you don’t even get the day off for it. So these idiots who spent a billion dollars on their significant other also have to push it all into the 5 hours they have between work and bedtime, which fills the streets with these sappy losers with more dollars than brain cells.
Oh, and last but not least, Happy Valentines. Waste money on someone you love, today! Like the Valentines Day banner kids? It’s crap, just like the holiday, huh? :-)
The semester hasn’t begun, but I must be excited because I have installed movabletype on the university server and begun a weblog to keep all my notes in. I figure that I can type a lot faster than I can write, so it’s the best way to store my notes. Plus, at the end of the semester, when exams are due, I can just print each subjects notes.
I swear, if I was any more obsessed with movabletype and weblogging, it would be scary. I’m surprised I don’t movabletype my shopping list every day. Well, I am tired after a huge day and I need to get to bed. Tomorrow I am going to start reading some of my COMP285 notes and hopefully summarize some of the notes.
As I write this it is 40°C (104°F) and it is hot! It was just as hot yesterday AND last night. This coupled with an almost 0% humidity means that last night I would spray myself with water all over until I am soaked, and then, in less than a minute, I would be completely dry again. It is impossible to stay cool. Even downstairs where there are two air conditioners running, it is still impossible to cool off even for a minute or two. It’s too hot to sit still, it’s too hot to even think. I am going to go and drown myself in water and hope it helps.
Damn, is this picture sexy or what? I love the NX-01…
I sit down and load up my website. It takes only a second over broadband and I hit refresh just in case. No recent comments, but that’s not surprising, Kev is taking a break at the moment and he is my main comment-er. Calender sneaks into my view and I suddenly realize that I haven’t posted since the 4th. Some quick maths skills and I realize that is 4 whole days. That’s pretty pathetic from the “I’m Blogging This” poster child, but hey sue me.
So the other day I said that I finished a sketch and it was really bad. Well I found this wonderful tool called an Eee-Ray-Sir. I removed her head and started again. I got the hair just right, but her eyes are still stupid. Considering that Kimiko is the first Manga girl to light fire in my dreams (yes, I too, am laughing hysterically right now) I just didn’t do her justice.
I have also drawn “Boo” which is a hamster with wings who is Largos conscience. I think he is very cute. In all of the comics, Boo just says “Squeak” and Largo replies with something like, “What’s that little dude? We need guns and crossbows? We need to kill the Zombie hordes? Sweet! You rock little dude!”
Apart from “The Boys of Summer” by The Araris being stuck in my head, that’s about it. Not much is really going on. I have totally rediscovered my love for Anime and Manga with the movie “Akira”. This also means that I now have something to sketch apart from Megatokyo.
