As you can see Cath and I met up with Mil, Josh and Matty at the Faith nightclub for a fun night out.  Unfortunately, the drinks were ridiculously expensive. Cath bought a beer and a coke and it was $9!! The coke was for me, due to being the designated driver, and it was mostly water anyway.

I did a bit of shaking my booty on the floor and Cath, not being the dancy type, met up with some friends from the web forum  we met on and chatted to them for a while.

Mil took some nice photos of us all, check out my Flickr soon for some really good ones of Cath and I.

Saturday morning, Cath headed home and I went and picked up Sienna. We had some lunch (I was running late) then had a nap from about 2:30pm to 4pm.  We took it easy the rest of the day.

Sunday morning, Sienna and I went for a trip down to the Gold Coast. I wanted to really open up the throttle and see how my car went. The readout says I do 6.4 litres for every 100kms at the moment, but it’s slowly going down.  That’s pretty damn good mileage (kilometerage?).

We went to the Carrara Markets and then to the Pacific Fair shopping centre.  When we arrived at the markets, Sienna yelled out “I remember the markets! It’s lot of fun!” and told me something which probably did happen about 6 months to a year ago when we were last there, but I have no memory of.  Sienna had fun putting the pingpong balls into the mouths of the clowns at the markets and won some nice stuff. She now has more bling so she’s way happy.  She also went on an airplane merry go round ride. The guy asked what speed he should put it on as the only other girl was another one older than Sienna. I told him to put it on top speed since she’s such a daredevil. She enjoyed it immensely.

We had some lunch while there and I picked up a couple of things then we jumped into the car to go to the shops.

We went for a ride on the little train there which drives around the outside shopping centre part. Sienna got a train stamp which she was happy with and the driver was surprised by all Sienna’s bling. He said she’s just like Carmen Miranda.  We went around the shops and Sienna waved to whomever would wave back.  We grabbed some Copenhagen ice creams and ate them while Sienna laughed at the kids on a demo exercise machine which you stand on and it wobbles your bum to make you lose weight.  She had a bit of a go and liked it, then we jumped in the car and headed home.

As soon as I got home I grabbed our stuff and jumped back in the car to take Sienna back to her mum’s place.  I dropped her off and drove over to Cath’s place for dinner. Very yum! Buttered Chicken! (Three buttered chickens and a totally insufficient dowry! heh!).

Today I’m not so crash hot. I have the flu and my throat has almost closed right up. The doctor I saw this morning put me on double antibiotics for today and then the normal dose tomorrow.  I also picked up some Nurofen Plus anti-inflammatory pills and 1000mg of vitamin C pills. I bought a new bottle of Difflam throat gargle which has antiseptic and anaesthetic in it to numb the throat.

I’m really loving my new car. It feels so comfortable and nice to drive.

“Can I has cheeseburger?” the cat whined plaintively. It’s voice was an electronic squeal that grated on Jim’s nerves. Jim swatted the cat on the butt and pushed it off of the desk.

“No.”

“Plz?” it mewled up at him, eyes unblinking. Jim shook his head.

“I said no.”

“OMG.” the cat yowled. Jim threw up his hands and tried to focus on his work. Schematics for cybernetic voice-boxes filled the screen of his laptop. EMP hardened as most things were these days. No help there. There had to be-

“ROFL!” a cat screeched, rolling onto its back on the desk, swiping at him.

“Shut up!” Jim shoved it to the floor.

“Happy cat is out of happy.” another cat burbled, laying flat on the floor behind his chair.

He glanced at it and went back to work, muttering, “Happy cat is out of happy because happy cat snorts catnip like it was going out of style. Happy cat needs to knock that shit off before happy cat burns out his teeny-tiny brain.”

“Plz can I has cheeseburger?” the first cat purred, leaping into his lap and rubbing its head against his arm.

“No, no, no! A hundred times no!” Jim banged his head against his desk. “Just shut up!”

“I has bucket!” a third cat yowled from the top of a bookcase. Jim whirled.

“Get out of that flower pot!”

“I can fix it.” a fourth cat mumbled, fumbling at Jim’s laptop. Jim turned back and swatted it away from him. His computer screen hiccuped.

“Don’t touch that!”

“Cheeseburger!”

“No! No cheeseburger!” Jim buried his face in his hands. “No damn cheeseburger.”

It had seemed like such a good idea. People loved cats. People loved those stupid pictures. Just a slight cybernetic modification to the animal’s larynx and bam! Talking cats. Everybody who was anybody wanted one. For about ten minutes. Then nobody did. The fad ended and he was left holding the bag.

“OMG lurve you.” the cat on his lap grumbled. Jim sighed and stroked it.

“Thank you.”

“Can I has cheeseburger now?”

“AUGH!”

It wasn’t the talking that bothered people really.

It was the fact you couldn’t get the damn things to shut up.

Check out the mega slide some guys made when their parents went away…

Yay! Finally I have uploaded some photos of my new car.

We had a great time out at Faith last night dancing. We met up with Mil and Josh and even saw some people from the forum we weren’t expecting to see.  Had a fantastic time.

This morning I picked up Sienna and we are chilling at home.

Oh and happy birthday Joey too hehehe

This afternoon I pick up my Honda Jazz VTi from Austral Honda. I can’t wait! This is the first time I’ve bought a car myself and the first brand new car I’ve ever owned!

I was anxious about spending so much money.. but I’ve had a mortgage before so this is only a fraction of the cost hehe (Always look on the bright side)

I will get some photos up on my Flickr account at some stage. Is it 4:30pm yet? No? Dammit! Oh well! heh.

I joined a couple of Honda forums and just found a new one last night. Redbank Shopping centre have a GLi model in there on display for a competition of sorts (spend lots of money to get points to win something) and I was in there anyway the other day so spent a bit of time drooling over that car heh.

Tonight Cath and I are going to Faith in the city (an 80s/goth/retro club) and meeting up with Mil and Josh so should be a great night out. We’ve been spending so much time together. Last Wednesday night (the one just gone) I met her parents and it seems they approve.. so that’s great

I hope everyone has gone outside to check out the lunar eclipse going on right now.

I went and had a look. A bit cloudy at the moment but you can see the red moon nonetheless

Okay, I joined another Social Networking place. Facebook actually looks more fun than the others due to all the fun applications you can add to your profile.

I might end up leaving some of the others alone and cut down since there’s so many damn social networking sites. Argh!

A quote from Dave Hughes in SMH:

DAVE Hughes has publicly apologised for calling shock jock Kyle Sandilands a “massive dickhead”.

Dave first made the remark during a comedy routine at this year’s Logies Awards and Kyle has since promised to punch the ha-ha man in the throat, even if it means going to jail.

The statement is so Dave, we have to print it word for word. It reads:

“Mr Dave Hughes has issued a public apology to Mr Kyle Sandilands, who has made comments in the past days in reference to remarks made by Mr Hughes at the 2007 TV Week Logie Awards.

“Mr Hughes said : ‘I am sincerely and deeply sorry that Kyle Sandilands is a massive dickhead.’

“Mr Hughes hopes that this sincere and unreserved apology will put this ugliness to rest and stop Mr Sandilands from going to jail.

“Mr Hughes further remarked: ‘No one deserves to go to jail just for being a massive dickhead. Massive dickheads have the same rights as normal people.’

Classic!

I just got this email today:

    A “heads up” for those of you who may be regular Bunnings customers.
Particularly now its almost holidays, and that means “projects” to  most men! (making stuff, or fixing stuff)

Over the last month I became a victim of a clever scam while shopping at Bunnings.

Simply going out to get supplies has turned out to be quite traumatic.

Don’t be naive enough to think it couldn’t happen to you.

Here’s how the scam works:

Two seriously good-looking 20-21 year-old girls come over to your car as you are packing your shopping into the boot.

They both start wiping your windshield with a rag and Windex, with their breasts almost falling out of their skimpy T-shirts. It is impossible not to look.

When you thank them ask you for a ride to another Bunnings - or Coles.

You agree and they get in the back seat.

On the way, they start having sex with each other. Then one of them climbs over into the front seat and performs oral sex on you, while the other one steals your wallet.

I had my wallet stolen November 4th, 9th, 10th, twice on the 15th, 17th, 20th, &24th. Also December 1st, 3rd, twice on the 7th, three times just yesterday and very likely again this upcoming weekend.
So be careful.

I just came across this funky tutorial on Google LatLong: YouTube-Style Embeddable maps.

I might use it for future trips around Brisbane and other places in the country.

I just hope it doesn’t break my blog, here like the IP thing I posted a week ago. It put images all over the place and stopped most links on my blog working.

Might try it out tomorrow night when I have time and upload a few photos I took when I took mum and dad north on the holiday we had last week.

These guys are frikken hilarious!

I just got introduced to them today.

Go check out Dick’s cover of NiN’s Closer and other songs on uChoob.

And I’m sure some of you will know where his name is from

Now try Max’s cover of Britney Spears’ Oops, I did it again!.

I picked up Sienna on Friday afternoon and she stayed overnight. Saturday we did some shopping and I kept her entertained until she went home about 4:30pm.

Cath came over that afternoon and I made pork steaks with a marinade, oven baked veges and other green veges in cheese sauce.

We watched some Tripping the Rift and Russell Peterson and headed into the city to go to a new goth club which had a Fascination Street Ball (a late The Cure afterparty).  We got there around 9;15pm and stayed until about 10:15pm and headed off again.

Cath has been an actress in many plays and the one she was in recently submitted an act to the local play festival along with about a dozen or so other plays.  Saturday night was an awards presentation night from the adjudicator whom had been viewing the one act plays for the festival.  We originally weren’t going to it (Cath has never been in a play at a festival before) but her director requested her so we thought we had better go along.  They called out the awards and the play “Doubt” which Catherine was in won the Best Play award.  It also won the Best Director award …. aaaannnndddd CATHERINE WON THE BEST ACTRESS AWARD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WOOOO!!!! She was soooo stoked! She didn’t expect their play would win any awards, but they basically cleaned up!

She had a glass of champagne to celebrate and calm the nerves after the presentation and I drove us home, picking up a bottle of champagne (sparkley white Pinot Noir) on the way. We got home and drank it in celebration. What a great night out it turned out to be :) I was so proud!  She couldn’t wait to ring her mum the next day hehe.

WELL DONE CATHERINE!

The rest of the weekend it was drizzling rain so we stayed at Cath’s place snuggled on the couch under a doona watching DVDs of Billy Connolly, Red Dwarf, Blackadder and a very intersting movie called The Secretary.  We also caught half of Kath & Kim and all of Meet the Fockers.  It was a really nice weekend to just relax and enjoy each other’s company.

I wonder why this reminds me of The Simpsons
