Nearly New Year's Eve Again

Can't believe another 12 months are nearly over again. And I still have toget my drivers' licence, lol.

So, my new year's resolutions are as follows:

Get my P plates (preferably before March)
Lose weight (although this is soooo not going to happen)
Do well at uni (at the very least, a credit average)
Finish reading Satanic Verses
Finish watching every single Academy Award best picture winner

Games, games, games

Exams are now over. Hope I passed (fingers crossed).

Meanwhile, Ching came back from Hong Kong and got me a Playstation Portable (PSP). I'm not that good using Playstation controls at the best of times so its been a little tricky for me to play the games.

Got Crash Bandicoot game and some Dragon RPG game. Dunno what the actual name is, but it mademe feel sick from motion sickness when the character was running down the streets. No idea how the character fights or uses magic either. All a bit too confusing.

I bought Grand Theft Auto on the cheap but haven't played it yet.

Been mostly addicted to Free Colonization lately. Basically just like the real Colonization but an open software version.

Bought Ching-E her birthday present at long last. Got her Guitar Hero: World Tour from EB but got the priec knocked down the the JB price. Haven't played it yet but have to admit the sound of the drums is slightly disappointing.

RIce & Phelps?

I have it on very good authority that the Stephanie Rice and Michael Phelps rumours are actually indeed fact. They pashed in the Budweiser Bar and left together.

Who knows what happened next. But that's what my friend on the ground in Beijing saw with his own eyes. He's close to members of the swim team and went to the Olympics to watch all the swimming events.

Meanwhile, Rice has also been out partying with medley rival Katie Hoff. Just weird seeing all these people who are fierce rivals in the pool just hanging out and having a good time after all the competition is over.

Holidays!

I'm on a break now that my exams have finished. But still having driving lessons in Chatswood and the like. And going to movies more often.

Just bought the Mamma Mia soundtrack today. Amanda Seyfried and Meryl Streep sound good, as expected, but Pierce Brosnan sounds terrible (LMAO). He sounds like he's trying way too hard to keep up with Meryl.

Mum's down in Nowra, and meanwhile, Hamsteroo doesn't seem to be eating all that much. I gave it food bowl, tomato, grass and weeds and it still wouldn't eat. Hope he's okay.

They're coming!

2 days till Po and Dot come back to Oz. Can't wait.

I wonder if Bunny and Ham Roo will still recognise them.

Meanwhile we'll be going to Pancakes and of course I'll have to starve myself on Saturday so that I can eat both a main course and a pancake. God knows I'm not going to order Devil's Delight.

Back to uni

Wah.

I've been back to uni for the first semester of 2008 and already it seems like a bit of a drag. I'm doing 4 subjects this year:

Property, Equity and Trusts
Federal Constitutional Law
Litigation 1
Legal Theory

Unlike last year my class times are no longer all 9-1 Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays. I still have classes 9-1 on Mondays and Thursdays but because for some reason everyone else booked into Law and Social Theory very early on, I'm stuck doing classes from 11-1 and 2-4 on Tuesdays and Fridays. I don't really like ending classes that late in the day. On the other hand that means I can pop into the law library and use their free wireless broadband. Last year you had to pay to use the uniwide wireless service for non-uni websites, but this year its free I tells ya!

Meanwhile my laptop has been working pretty well. Bit of a bugger to carry to and from uni but at least I know if I drop it then it probably won't break. Might get a case or pouch for it instead.

Birthday dinners

Ate so much at both my birthday dinners. Had 2 pieces of pork on Tuesday and so much potato. Couldn't even finish my piece of cake. But food was so yummo. And got sick playing X-Box afterwards.

Then went to Star City on Wednesday and only had 4 plates of food. Wish I had more potato salad.

So full now.

YUCK!

Since its summer the worms (more specifically maggots) have been climbing up the walls again and have been crawling across the ceiling. Unlike last time however, instead of being in the kitchen and near the bird cage they're now in the corridor near the laundry and toilet. Mum thinks this is because they are attracted to Bunyo and Hamsteroo's food.

So yesterday morning Mum cleaned out Bunyo and Hamroo's goody box full of yum yums, toys and wood shavings and we thought it was all clean now. 3 hours later I went back outside and I was absolutely shocked and disgusted to find that the plastic bag containing Bunyo's snacks had worms crawling all over the outside of the bag, on the cardboard box, on the walls and ceiling of the corridor. I cleaned that mess up, went outside and watched TV.

Half an hour later I went back to the corridor and the bag was once again covered with worms, and again they were on the walls and ceiling. This kept happening, but slightly lessened as the day progressed. I must have caught at least 40 worms in the corridor alone, yesterday.

I don't think Bunyo or Hamsteroo have noticed at all.

When you don't change bunny...

So I didn't change bunny much last night and this morning I checked its cage and there was a gigantic pile of poo. I'm surprised bunyo didn't jump around and spread it all over the place.

And meanwhile the Oscar nominations came out today. Atonement actually made it into best picture, thank god. Although it has zero chance at the win, cos methinks No Country for Old Men will win there. Unless of course There Will Be Blood somehow upsets (but I think love for TWBB will be shown through Daniel Day-Lewis's likely win).

Oscar time - lock up the asylum!

Jesus christ, Oscar time really does bring out the crazies.

It's kind of nuts trying to surf the web or even just The Envelope for half decent, semi-logical predictions because the boards are so overrun with fanboys (don't even try looking for meaningful discussions on the Grammy board) pimping Marion Cotillard for the best actress award.

There are a couple of posters who have actual insight and/or industry contacts but then go and ruin all of that by being so arrogant.

Oh well, I'll just stick to the other site until all of the blows over.

Naughty Bunny

Wah that bunny is really starting to annoy me when I change its newspaper. Almost every single when I replaced its paper it did a wee in the corner then tried to sniff it or stamp its foot in it.

Once it did so much wee it splashed onto my lip. Absolutely disgusting. Meanwhile I tried to feed it a tomato but it didn't eat it. So picky especially now that it's only got weeds and carrots.
