Mario Wednesday, Nov 25 2009 

As a little update to my last post, I turned up for work on Monday only to be told that the data for WWF doesn’t actually come in until next week, thus freeing me up until next Tuesday. Most people would use this time to study for exams. I had alternate plans.


Yes, that’s right. I played old-school Super Nintendo. Don’t judge me.

The sad part is that I think my reflexes have gone backwards, as the same levels I had no problem with as a child have no become substantially harder. The main difference is that instead of my frustration manifesting in a barely self-restrained attempt at chucking the controller at the TV, I resort to mentally cursing the system.

My Super Mario World cartridge wasn’t working earlier. I found myself blowing on it out of reflex.

YES I WILL START STUDYING SOON

Also Tuesday, Oct 20 2009 

I refuse to use Tumblr. I don’t care if it’s more pretty or that everyone migrated over there or that it takes a lot less work to make posts; I am not going to give up the user-friendliness of WordPress for Twitter, blog edition.

Just sayin’.

RETURN Wednesday, Oct 7 2009 

So children, now we know the number one killer of a blog; attempting to have a structured entry template and schedule. Admittedly it went on for a fair while, I think a little under a month was a pretty good run considering I was posting everyday, but there’s only so much of your mundane life you can detail in mobile photos and short paragraphs when you decide “screw it, Facebook is easier and allows for instant gratification in the form of user comments”. Probably no one will even remember this blog still exists and thus no one will read, but you know what? I’m bored and I’m procrastinating, so let’s just roll with it; even if it means repeating all the apparently funny anecdotes and jokes I make throughout the day except in digital form.

No. 1 thing I need definitely right now is a job. I don’t even know how everyone else is able to find them so easily; do I really need to walk through Liverpool Westfield and throw my resume at prospective employers before I find one? I thought for sure the new Mexican place there would give me one since they’re virtually devoid of both customers and employees but a week later and I still don’t have a call. Maybe my very valuable experience in the school canteen just wasn’t enough for them.

If I don’t get a job soon though I fear two things; first, that I’ll end up graduating with no prior knowledge of how the formal workplace operates and eventually end up jaded and bitter and hating everyone else I work with, and secondly, and more importantly, that I’ll end up in Japan come a year and half with naught more than a few hundred dollars to my name, living off curry sauce and rice and begging for money like the boarder kids did in high school.

And of course, just to prove how responsible I’m being with my money, I went out and bought tickets to go see Kate Miller Heidke next month (-$50). Dammit Neighbours for making her music commercially successful as well as flat out awesome, her tickets close to doubled in price because of you. I’m also looking at going to see Vampire Weekend the day after. This is very exciting.

This blog is not important enough for me to think up of a proper conclusion so I’m just going to end it here.

Sometimes, when I’m working in the library and procrastinating, I boot up iTunes and look at the music libraries of whoever else in the library has left their music library on public.

It’s really creepy, but I find it really interesting seeing what other people listen to.

It’s almost like real life Last.fm.

Goodbye, dear friend. We have been together for seven years, but unfortunately you have become too old, cumbersome and sickly for me to deal with any longer.

I wish you good luck in your next career as my brother’s computer.

I also hope that you do not become as troublesome and as much of a distraction for him as you were for me.

Can someone please tell Facebook they need to stop messing around with perfection?

Actuallly, the title’s a lie, isn’t it? You can clearly see I’m using iTunes.

…to be honest I just wanted to show off my shiny new MacBook. :D

It has bluetooth, and transferring files between it and my mobile is really easy, so I thought I’d try blogging again, this time in a different way.

I’m really optimistic about this time around!
