Ebay magic
One AC/DC watch....One AC/DC wallet....bidding for them both on ebay and winning them for 1 and 2 cents respectively - priceless!
Yup, that's what I do now. I bid for garbage items on ebay. Sure they cost me 10 dollars shipping each, but the actual items cost a total of 3 cents Australian! Don't spend it all in one place.
In other news, I also purchased a 2 gb memory card for my camera for the low price of $30.
Fantastic!
Australia Day Avec Nate
Nate and I were invited to a friend's place for Australia Day.
Cricket, Snags on the BBQ, a few beers, Triple J top 100 songs of the year, Australian Flags, and heat stroke.
What more could you want.
The Vitamin School
Last night I tried to give the Skuller another lesson from the Vitamin School.
I told him that he shouldn't have quit the school when he had so much promise.
He then told me he didn't quit, he thought he was expelled.
That is probably true. But for the time being, the Vitamin is taking the Skuller back under his wing even thought he is a disgrace and he has barely passed rule #1.
For those of you that don't know, Rule #1 is don't question the Vitamin's judgment. Also to make sure you don't look like you belong in a cage.
Australia Day Apparently
Do you want something Hot?
It's 10:30pm here in Australia, and 26 degrees.
Never fear, I've got the A/C rocking in North Tower Residence.
We shouldn't knock the weather though. If it didn't change once in a while, nine out of ten people couldn't start a conversation.
Jabba
Remember when Vader put Solo into carbonite and got Boba Fett to take him to
Jabba's Palace on the desert planet Tatooine?
That was terrible.
Did you know that carbonite has the ability to suspend organic matter in a form of stasis. Under the correct settings, a living form can be carbon-frozen and placed into hibernation. The process is exacting and extremely dangerous -- a miscalculation can result in death!
Little bastards
So I came back to my room this evening and I caught Mr Ant and a few of his little cousins crawling around an unopened package of Strawberry Jam.
I didn't like that.
So what did I do? I put Mr Ant and his little cousins in a tupperware container and put them in the fridge. I'm not so sure they like the cold.
I will leave Mr Ant and his little cousins outside for his other friends to see what happens.
I doubt they'll be coming around this room anymore.
Kirkland Lake Corner with Chris Malciw
No, he didn't give permission. But we're gonna do it anyway. I usually like to keep the people that comment on this blog anonymous to an extent. However, because this former Bond Grad has so much to offer, I am going to make his comment into it's own post. A true legend.
This is what the legend from Northern Ontario had to say today:
"I know this has nothing to do with the content of this portion of Gord's Blog but it must be stated. Last night my lady friend took me out for dinner and a movie and we went to see the new 007 movie. I thought it was well done. Lots of action and it showed the progression of a young and curious James Bond. I like the fact that the movie sets out from before Bond was a 00 Agent. It also does a good job showing the learning curve that the Traditional Bond may have gone through while starting out. The fact that Bond made mistakes, was sometimes gullible and let his emotions get in the way of his duties. In the end it showed how Bond became the tough, unemotional and super-stealth agent he is traditionally shown to be. This movie shows how Bond fine tuned his emotional connection to women, his secret agent instinct and his taste for the vodka martini, shaken not stirred!
I saw a previous comment on this blog about this movie and I thought I'd give my opinion after finally having seen it haha.."
Look for more from Kirkland Lake Chris soon...(that's if he doesn't give me shit for doing this...but the fact is, what he's saying is more interesting than my life).
Snip Snip
- Back at school - back on track...kinda...
- The return of Nate means the terrible three has been reunited. I wonder what mischief the semester will bring?
- Drink the Pub Dry was held as per usual on Tuesday night at Melbas. Another great night. If there's one thing that the LSA has been doing well, it's these. Where's the website? hahaha
- Pub Crawl this Friday...then unfortunately after that...school officially starts with week 2.
- I am disappointed to have moved out of Q-1 and back to campus. It means no more Maury Povich moments. I'll have to find out if he's on Free to Air TV.
- Well done Julien Du Vergier on taking care of business at the brasserie. He deserves much more credit than this one line, but he stopped a potential war between Skuller and Spegal. I'm not sure who would have come out on top.
- Album of the week - Scissor Sisters. Not bad stuff.
- If you're interested in slitting your wrists, try some Damien Rice.
Rating Talk Show Hosts
Nothing more nothing less. I'm gonna rate some folks I see on TV. And yeah, I call it rating talk show hosts, but really it's rating people that talk. My top ten list of personalities.
8. Dr Phil - Great start to his career. But there's this guy I know whose name is Phil and he is weird, so I can't give this Phil a higher ranking.
7.
Ricki Lake -"You said I was ugly but look at me now!" Ricki made this line famous. But she's off the air now. I was never a big fan.
6.
Sally Jess Raphael - Influenced some of today's greats. Sold-out when she got rid of the
big red glasses.
4. Tie -
Judge Judy and
Oprah Winfrey. These two women have arguably had a similar impact on TV history. They are both...how would you say...the moral compass of society. Sure Oprah may give away cars at the end of the show, but Judy provides justice in her judgments for stolen $99 wedding rings. Oprah has endorsed Barack Obama as Democratic Presidential Nominee. Judge Judy has yet to give such an endorsement.
3.
Joey Greco -
Cheaters - A relative newcomer. Joey is helping people - in fact he just told someone (I'm watching right now) he was there to help them. Helping them find who their significant other (or apparently not so significant) is cheating with. I see big things for Joey. My favourite episode was the one where he got stabbed on a boat.
2.
Montell Williams - This was really tough choice considering Montell
brought this dog to the world. He still has the opportunity to take over number one someday.
1.
Maury Povich - Ever wonder if that kid really is yours? If so, Maury's your guy. He's helped more people find out if they were the real father of babies than anybody. Sure Oprah gives billions to good causes, but I think finding out which one of ten guys is the real father of your baby is more important.
Ok, so i got bored and only gave 8 people. It's my choice and right. bye.
Phew...
So I was spending some time at the beach today. The weather is beautiful, the water is warm....but then it hit me! Maury is on! So I grabbed my towel and boogie board and raced back. Lucky I got back.
Click here to see just the kind of genius Maury is. Why is he never up for any of those TV awards?
I think in the next few days I am going to rank talk show hosts...
Maury is at it again
Maury was doing more lie detector tests today. Surprise, surprise...Darrell did cheat with his neighbour more than 10 times when he said to his fiance that he didn't. But not to fear, she's taking him back.
Other than that, my life has revolved around the National Geographic channel where one rainy day I watched six straight hours of America's Hardest Prisons. It's not really a place where you want to go.
National Geographic has also taught me about building the world's largest bridges and the world's largest dams.
Right now I am going to go for a surf (meaning I will bring a surf board to the beach, lay on it in the water while trying to get on it while waves thrash me around all the while trying not to get eaten by a shark).
Happy New Year
This is the view of New Years celebrations from last year in Sydney. This year, were the scaled down fireworks display of the Gold Coast. They did a great job with the fireworks, holding them every hour on the hour starting at 9pm. Each hour had a theme. At 9pm the theme was "Car Screeching out of a driveway; at 10pm it was "New Dragon Tattoo on your back"; at 11pm it was "Let's get drunk and get in a fight"; and at midnight it was "Happy New Year to everyone in the Trailer Park."
Ok, ok...so that wasn't true...but it could have been.
My New Years resolution is to quit this blog. In fact, I've fired the whole staff....but we all know how resolutions work - we make the same ones every year.
