What a busy weekend.

Thursday night Lisa arrived after flying up from Sydney and we went out to the Casino. Lisa had some dinner, but I had already eaten cos I can’t wait until 10pm to eat. I didn’t play any games. I’d have liked to try BlackJack but at $10 minimum bet I wasn’t game to lose that much moolah. Other tables were $25 minimum. I just watched a lot of games while Lisa played the pokies. I had a quick look at Texas Hold’em but the BlackJack was more interesting. Besides, we all know BlackJack is the only game you’re statistically likely to even have a tiny chance of winning something. Yeh, I know it’s not the point of gambling.. just to have fun. But still I’d rather wait until I was more financially stable first. That’s not likely to happen until I get the house sold.

Friday I drove Lisa to Tweed Heads and came back. I spent most of the afternoon mowing and whippersnippering the yard. I ended up covered in chopped up weeds and grass but the house looks heaps lots nicer than before. That night, Striker turned up and his friends wanted him to go to the Casino. I had already been the night before and was bushed from all the work. Striker wasn’t really keen on it anyway so we piked and stayed home watching "My name is Earl" until about 1am. Then I went to bed and he watched a few more shows.

Saturday morning I woke at 8am and had breakfast while Striker slept. I woke him at 11am and we headed to Super Cheap Auto so Striker could pick up some stuff for his car. We also went to Crazy Clark’s discount store and picked up some cleaning equipment and chemicals. Lisa told me she wanted to help me clean up the house to make it more inviting to potential buyers. After that, we headed to Surfer’s Paradise to go extreme jetboating. The driver’s young daughter was there and told us all about the jetboating. They said she’s going to make a great sales girl. hehe. We had a fantastic time doing 360’s and jumps and bumps. There was a grandma in the front seat whom seemed a bit worried at times and kept looking back at her family in the back of the boat while holding onto her straw hat to make sure it didn’t fall off. hehe. We sped past a Photographer’s boat and did a 360. He took photos of us to sell at the jetty when we got back. Striker bought one of them for $10. When we arrived back at the jetty the driver asked for someone to hop out and tie the boat to the jetty. I volunteered Striker and he got a free cap for his troubles After that, we went to Pacific Fair for some late lunch (about 3pm). We both had some burgers, chips and drinks from Oporto. We grabbed some chocolate easter eggs from Coles and headed home. A quick drop-off of our stuff and we headed up to Mount Gravatt. We waited there for a while and jumped into Striker’s friend’s car and headed for Toowong Cemetery. We were there for a night time Ghost Tour. It was a full moon as well, so rather apt for the situation. We were on a ghost tour with Jack Sim’s Ghost Tours. We had a fantastic time learning the history of various tombs and people and finished a couple of hours later around 9:30pm. I bought a signed book called "Haunted Brisbane" and had Jack sign it for me. He was a fantastic tour guide. Really gave you the right feeling and mood for the tour. He had the sinister methods of describing the events and also a sinister laugh heh. We finished up there and headed back to pick up my car then Striker and I headed back to Nerang. We popped in to visit a couple of his friends not far from my place, but by midnight I was so exhausted I said we had better leave. We came home and he watched more Earl while I snoozed the night away.

I woke at around 8:30am and had breakfast then headed off to pick up Lisa again. We came back and scrubbed the house. She did a really good job. Me, being a guy, did a somewhat decent job. hehe. We watched Serenity then some conspiracy shows like "911 in plane site" and "Loose change". We headed out and Striker had to grab a 6 pack of FourEx Gold from Dan Murphy’s to swap for a set of tyres for his car. We drove up to Loganholme Hyperdome to drop off Lisa at Hungry Jacks where she was meeting a friend of hers from Brisbane. Striker and I had a chocolate sundae each while we waited and chatted. Once Lisa had met her friend, we headed back home again. Striker grabbed his gear and jumped in his car and headed off for Caboolture to see his friends then off to Noosa to get some new tyres.
