its all coming back to me now since my last post ive done little but sit around eating food that is not good for me. for 4 days in a row i veged out in front off a tv screen of some kind eating junk food of some other kind.
it was for the most part with different people on each day too. i dun think u really need to hear the details of "eat, watch, eat more junk". but it was all good fun, although i really will need to runs some laps to get rid of the Snickers Pods. Wii tennis just doesnt cut it. ppl involved included kt, ag, cy, mc, hoy, jmo, a4. and watchables involved were AFL, the chaser, the breakfast club, (some german kebab movie), the rock, and wii tennis =p
whilst procrastinating on facebook the other day i noticed that i had 31 mutual frens with Hoa (good for first place) which equates to about half of all my frens. and i was sorta wondering about who (of all people who i dont know) out there has the most mutual frens with me. its probably one of those ppl who everyone thinks that i know but who i dont know at all. like joel or tim or sharon or joseph.
in other news: someone discovered an exploit for PSP in the game Lumines (which is pretty old) and on Amazon.com the sales of that game went up 14,000% =p
in the office i do java programming.. and then i go home and i have to work on freelance java programming most days. so in my spare time i like to do something a lil bit different.. so i do Actionscript programming =p
heres my latest. you're probably thinking its formatted stupid and the characters are too big. and the romaji is too small.. but thats cos i wrote this to work on the PSP.. and it has this weird cut down flash which does things like formatting differently. this is alpha release 0.01a, and i know its incomplete. any ideas about what to add are welcome.
why do they rock so hard? man.. ive been so busy this week or so. like as busy as ive ever been, both at work and outside of work. tuesday was the only day this week i was home at a reasonable hour, which means ive been struggling to focus at work. which is mildly bothersome as ive got this project which im basically the project manager and software architect on... and the lead developer.. and the UAT coordinator. gah! =p
but its not that bad really.. its just that no one told me anything. it was like "heres and not even close to complete project.. can u finish it?" and then everyone expected all these things and im like "wtf? why didnt anyone tell me about these other 500 tasks?" i got handed the project about 6 months into it.. and all that was achieved was a 2 page document with dot points of some things that were maybe sorta requirements.
anyhoo..work is boring.. heres some things i did this week: on monday we had a frisbee dinner thing to fill in for the washed out game (even though i wasnt playing anyway) but the night ended with a very long session of "loitering on a street cnr for no apparent reason other than indecision" which lasted till 2am-ish (on a school night no less).
on wed i saw this Burton movie at Bondi. it was ok.. a lot of good stuff in it.. but also a lot of talking about "u just need to be true to yourself" kinda stuff in place of the normal snowboarders' hijinx that these movies normally have. at $0 entry i guess u get what u pay for =p
the weekly Hoy + Jmo outing was moved to thursday due to exams, and it shifted to outback steakhouse were we inevitably over-ordered and found ourselves struggling to finish =p we then headed off to watch this terrible Woody Allen movie on VHS! mostly cos it was the only VHS left anywhere in the world and any video store.
ive been out every nite this week.. and after i post this im going to go out to a pub crawl =p thats quite rare for me in the last 5 or 6 years since i became old. but its kinda funny that i dont feel social at all.. i just feel like this is being not-bored. its not really partying its jsut hanging out mostly.. which is more fun i reakon.. and less fakeness. partying is is artifical.. but i guess im just no fun at parties =p id much rather sit around in a small group on some couches in a quiet cafe around Surface Computing coffee table.
anyhoo.. is ne1 free to meet up for a quiet cup of tea? =)
is it that its fun, or that it lets you forget yourself? i totally meant to use the word 'epiphany' in my last post.. cos that was the feeling i was sorta having. but i forgot.. and its probably best since i dont really think being disillusioned is really the same as having an epiphany.
ive been thinking i need a more permanent solution than escaping to japan for a year. or maybe on top of escaping to japan. ive flirted with the idea of Masters or a PostGrad Dip.. which are in the maybe list. but i think something which doesnt use so much left side of the brain might be better for me. some guy somewhere once said "Does the routine destroy our creativity or do we lose creativity and fall into the routine?". there was once a time where i dreamed of studying visual communication and living a life which wasnt enclosed in a cubicle. what ever happened to that? did predicate logic and the pumping lemma kill the right side of my brain? or did i just outgrow it somewhere around the HSC?
i guess i could learn an instrument.. im not sure Guitar Hero or Drummania really count =p
in other news: the We Major mixtape by Fort Minor totally rocks my world. its pretty much impossible to get a hold of though. maybe try and find a torrent.
