Bowling is fun

Monday, November 28th, 2005

This weekend has been the most active in about 5 years for me. Yeah, I know I’ve ranted like crazy about being finished all my studies, but 5 years is a bloody long time to devote to the gaining of knowledge…. and also a bloody long time to rake up some significant student loans.

Friday night I had a party, thanks to all that attended in honour of my achievements and my soon to be dole bludger status.

Saturday night was chris’s christmas thing for his work… costume parties are fun, there is no denying this. Some truely awesome costumes, but people suck with their music tastes.

Sunday day: my last day of work, actually totally cruisey, and I didn’t end up having to deal with almonds…. if you worked in my department you’d understand. Anyway, the contemporary lounge is having a staff sale this week that I could still go to, cause of Melinda… it pains me how little cash I have and I’ll probably miss out on very nice things.

Sunday night: Melinda came round after work and we ate chips, and cream puffs and drank Heineken, while watching the Low Hum DVD. Then after dinner, Chris and I went bowling with Marcus and Tina…We played 5 full games and 1 nearly whole game during Garden City Bowls unlimited bowling on Sunday nights. Its good fun, I suggest more people take advantage of their good Sunday night deal.

I scored 101 in one game…. its kind of a miracle when only a few years ago back when bowlarama was still around I scored 23 in a game…..

So yeah, a good weekend, and today a trademe purchase arrived, and I found out Sarah won the auction she bid for under my name, cause she has no computer therefore is not signed up to trade me.
So I’ll pop down to her work with the details and get her to come round later. So she now has Callum sorted for Christmas.
weee

tired

Thursday, November 24th, 2005

I’m tired, and its not because I woke up put on clothes and drove Chris to work because of the bad weather.
I’m tired because unemployment is tiring. No money, no motivation to do anything interesting. I know its only been a week but I already can see it happening all over again. Just like when I quit uni.

I had marvelous plans of all the painting, sewing and constructing I was going to do but I’m just too tired with life to be bothered with any of it.

I borrowed books on making an architecture portfolio, I’ve read half of it, but I have little motivation to finish constructing mine. I only have 1 week left of access to the big beautiful colour printers at polytech.

I should get off my ass.

I should actually go have a shower.

first day of nothing

So t&s are playing japan in early January…. *sigh* one can only hope they get asked on the BDO tour…
In other news, Sarah is coming to dinner so I’ve been making vegetarian delights, and tiramisu

I had drinks with my classmates last night, weird to think I’ll never see them again, well perhaps at graduation in march.
I’m waiting for the stuff in the oven to finish cooking so I can go over to the pool. I washed the windows and mowed the lawn today…. I also have cleaned some rooms of the house.

mmm

bored huh?

woooooooo

Less than half an hour ago I finished my last assignments. I feel like a huge weight has come off my shoulders.
Now its time to get ready for the a million lights gig tonight. tomorrow… I think I’ll go swimming…. ahh living across the road from a pool is finally going to reap some benefits.
