So I just walked through belco mall with $4650 in cash to pay for our topdeck tours. Was one of the more nervous moments I have had recently.
Now I’m sitting at a mates place watching them play “little big planet” on ps3. Not gonna lie it is the most random game I have seen in a long time
Dad did a similar thing earlier, but with $19k Solomon, and we (me and my brother) got a PS3...

Been scuba diving. Four times. All on WWII wrecks.
that sounds AWESOME!
Trust me, it is. There’s nothing quite like checking out what used to be the boiler of a Japanese troop carrier, 20m under water and looking at about 20 lionfish (the awesome floaty ones) hanging out there with you.
In the last week I have
Not had internet access. I thought I would have it, but this tropical island I’m marooned on has the most patchy net I’ve ever seen.
Had my computer die, then kinda come back to life, but a stack of the keys aren’t working so I think it’s on its way out.

Played golf twice, and sucked both times. I can drive well, but my...

ideas for tumblr editors

jaimeleighfairbrother:
I know the appeal of tumblr is pretty well rooted in its simplicity, but it would be cool if it had a bookmark feature so you could know where you left off and not have to scroll through until you see something you recognize.
Neeeeeed. I just spent 10 minutes looking through pages til I saw someting I recognised.
That’s what the little number is for,...

(via rantingaboutcameras) The spider is awesome. And she has 3/5 piercings I want. Damn her.
Lip, nose and cleavage surface? And while on piercings, I’m thinking of getting my other tragus done so that I could do an industrial between my lower conch and tragus, which would be *awesome*
2/3 correct. Replace nose [they make me think of cows D: I...

Just realised why tumblr has been so quite, its cause kate has left!
There has been a definate lack of art today!
So true.

Dinner tonight was excellent
Starters: fresh baked bread lightly toasted, drizzled with pepper infused olive oil and topped with smoked salmon and parsley, and celery with fresh hommus dip, served with the Lindemans reserve pinot noir chardonnay.
Mains: cold pork with a hot szechuan garlic sauce, warm chicken with a spicy chilli and ginger sauce, homegrown garden salad and a very creamy potato salad, served with a very nice...

I think my last.fm is ashamed of my current musical choices. When I downloaded today’s plays from my ipod it didn’t scrobble:
Folie A Deux and Infinity On High
Two of the three listens to Fast Times at Barrington High
From Them, Through Us, To You (twice)
Lateralus and 10,000 Days (I cannot wait to see this week’s plays come through, Tool are going to own it)
And maybe even...

My semi-housemate is laughing so hard at The West Wing that he’s scared off both of the cats. My fury at guitar hero didn’t do it, but his mirth has. Scary.

My new housemate has been doing that all day. Is your semi-housemate single, because they could be happy together…
No, he’s my actual housemate’s...

So we’re getting better at not turning off the computer. You’ve seemed to have mastered the concept after I put a big text doc that said “DO NOT TURN OFF COMPUTER”. Now if you could not close the programs that are open, that clearly have work in them, or a firefox window that has a dozen tabs open, that’d be fantastic. These programs are obviously...

My band (L’Esprit de L’Escalier) recorded today. It sounds uhmazing. Myspace probs by the end of the week.
Not trying to toot my own but… *BEEP BEEP*
It fucking better be, can’t wait to hear it.
I had a look on my ipod after chucking a bunch of stuff onto it and was slightly disturbed by what I saw.
About a third of it is pop punk.
I didn’t notice it, but I’ve slowly been listening to more and more of it. This was really shown by Motion City Soundtrack topping out last week’s last.fm charts, but I don’t know where so much of this stuff has come from. Given that I...

Video help! For Christmas, I want a better video editor than iMovie. I’d heard good things about Final Cut Pro/Studio, but then I looked it up and its more than $1k!

The ‘sticker karen’ game with Thommo ‘accidentally’ copping a feel, doing a fashion shoot in the middle of northbourne ave, the man, woman, boy and girl love that was happening, Mitch (our mitch, not my mitch) getting hilariously wasted and so forth.

The problem with getting a bunch of dumb idiots with cameras who know each other very well on a shallower level but not all that well on a deeper one is that you can learn things you never expected/wanted to know.
