holidays!
hooray, after 9 long and kind of boring weeks, the midsemester break is finally here!
a bit of nc and billy got together this morning to play a bit of cricket at north rocks oval - too bad chap had work, moo had 21sts and alex was in canberra.. it was interesting getting into it after a few months of cricket void.. nash is still the sri-lankan champ and billy ain’t that bad either..
two trips to the airport this morning (although i was only awake for one, so actually only 1 trip for me) to see people off.. no matter how many times you see someone off at the airport, it never really loses its punch..
also had a haircut, i think i left it much too long this time, the hairdresser mowed it back like usual but it was still pretty long and bushy so we had to keep going.. it looks okay now i think, although some people would say otherwise.. it’s low maintenance!
took jaz for a walk again today.. scary thing happened a few days ago when i took her walking alone (normally my sister and i walk jaz together).. this dark taxi rumbles down the road in the opposite direction, sees us (jaz and i), and then pulls to the side of the road, does a U-ie and then drives slowly behind us for a bit.. i keep looking backwards with a concerned look on my face while jaz also looks backwards excitedly, thinking about any new friends that may be sitting inside the taxi.. i rather not have found out, so i pull my phone out and gave sara a call so that at least someone could be witness to my abduction.. thankfully the taxi left us alone.. phew, got out of that one
so yes, sitting in front of the computer all smelly now.. backing up photos and the like.. i swear dvd burners are cool, everyone should get one if only to back up important stuff like photos and documents and whatnot..
and.. went to buy dvd+rs today at bigw.. saw a spindle of 50 tdks for $42 and a spindle of 25 hps for $43.. i had previously bought the hp ones and they worked pretty well so i was going to go for them again, but then did a price check (how cool are those scanning things) on the tdk and found out that it was a buck cheaper for double the amount of dvds.. so i got that instead just to try it out.. go home, check up the disc info, turns out that they both come from the exact same manufacturer, and the tdk discs are actually a few models up from the hp one.. score!
yes anyway the afl is on, i normally don’t watch it but hey its the grand final, 70-odd years since sydney last won, so i’ll make an exception.. doesn’t look good though, 8 minutes to go and eagles are up, but only by a bit..
ok, publish!
