Emma and I went to a play at the Bondi Pavilion tonight called Sister Street about a guy and his mates from the second world war. It was written by one of the guys after he returned, hmmmm I'm not 100 % sure, but I think I was written recently rather than just after the war, however amazing, possibly let down a little by some of the acting, then again I can't act so yeah.

Ummmm, I'm crap I don't blog, enough. So we spent easter with Emma's parents in Adelaide, perfect weather, hot (about 25), not much wind. Met loads of friendly people drunk far too much good wine, generally relaxed, Huzzah. Oh my PS2 has been replaced and some new games AND my two UK games that weren't nicked work on my new oz PS2, Huzzah once more. Oh I now have my computer working and connected and online via an attractive bright yellow crossover cable. ummm phone is going ok, I'll get round to saying what I think is wrong with it soon (Not much). Ummm I really can't remember what I was going to say.

Righto so while this doesn't rate as a completely shite day it is getting close. Starts with more Shite Hardware then we nip out for lunch for one of the guys at work and after three quarters of an hour of waiting I give up on getting food and get my money back. Then the afore mentioned shite hardware and shite operating system goes tits up and we spend fucking ages trying to fix it. THEN on my way home I think something is strange and my gatorade bottle has leaked through my bag and over my jeans so I get to sit on a train and then a bus looking like I've pissed myself and then instead of coming home to some tv and food I have come home to washing and cleaning,baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa. It will seem funnier later, like about 6 months. booooooooooo.

Righto the shipping comment is because our boxes turned up, finally, 2 months late, they had been opened and some nice people have stolen my PS2 and all it's accessories, all my DVDs, Emma's old laptop and some CDs.
Which is nice and now the shipping company will not return calls and the lovely food parcel they gave us with our boxes mostly expired in January or February, huzzah. OOOO almost forgot, my computer had the front almost ripped off it and wouldn't start, and It looked like it was opened and played with.
That however is now working thanks to Red Hat CDs from work and the fact that I had 20 GB of free space on my disk.
Anyway Im now looking for a cheap source of horses heads and possible if the US has some spare JDAMs I think I could put them to good use.

ok summary of what I just blogged and lost, so bus crash, all ok weird how glass makes a popping sounds when it shatters. Watched a guy powering past the bus this morning on roller blades and a pair of shorts, going well fast, does make you wonder how you stop quickly or even not that quickly. Oh and I got a phone, its a 7250, haven't had a load of time to play with it yet, however the camera seems better than I thought and the radio is also better than I thought, oh I'm listening to Triple J .So first Impressions are the phone is less plasticly spell ? than the 7210
which is nice the camera is a gimic but cool and not as crap quality as I thought. I loaded cave onto it and cave needs colour and a little word and final Triple J is very cool.

We saw Benji Reid at the Opera House tonight, He was amazing, it was put on by the British Council. Ummm I would try to describe the evening but it would sound like a load of old wank, needless to say, it was cool with a relaxed Hip-Hop/ Break-beat errr soundly thing going on, was well wicked, this is the BC link. On the way out we saw work by The Crazy Prins while we were at the Opera house, very cool. Oh Also Emma told me I was acting like Jack out Of Will and Grace, ok her exact words were, �Your acting like that guy out of Will and Grace�, to which I though she meant Will, which would have been cool. Alias no I�m Jack or if you watch enough of W&G � �Just Jack�. Oh afterwards we went for a drink at the Opera bar and watched the Stars (the ones in the sky) even renaming a few constellations (Word spelling checks this as constipations) and as we were leaving found out that the bit of the bar that was closed off, was for the after do drinks that we had passes to, anyway we were having a better time outside watching the sky, although I would have liked to talk to Benji Reid, As for the constellations they can wait for another time.

So what the fuck is up with the BBC if you submit a comment to a story there is no confimation, you don't even go back to the story. Get this you go back to the home page, HELLO can you say winners. Oh and what was I reading, a load of arse it would appear, have science publications signed a deal with closed source software companies to only write about software that costs money, What is wrong with Spam Assassin

Well, a wonderful weekend is almost at an end. Our David Jones vouchers arrived the other day from New Scientist, so on Saturday we wandered into town to spend our money, after walking round the store for what must have been 2 hours we ended up getting a load of kitchen stuff and a cool cordless phone, Yay Yay. After shopping ourselves into a rest and a glass of wine we decided to go for dinner and after ringing round about 3 places finally found somewhere that wasn�t booked. It�s called Buzo, and it was amazing, the waiter was friendly but not false or imposing, the setting was neutral and relaxing and the food was totally scrumptious. Neither of us was very hungry, however we both managed to find room for 3 courses. It was sort of expensive, however I think the price was inline with the total experience. Oh and it�s the first place in Sydney that does a proper Macchiato.
On the walk home we could hear Bruce Springsteen playing live so after wandering round for a bit we found the best place to listen was on our balcony at home, it was a surreal way to end the evening.
And today we went over to Manly to see Zoe and Vinnie and go to the beach. It was overcast when we woke up but all thought it would be worth a shot anyway. On the ferry over it started to rain and all was looking lost. Once we got to Manly we popped up to see their flat which is enormous and then decided to give the beach a go.
It turned out to be hot as buggery and I even ended up doing a bit of body surfing, loads of fun.
After that we went for a wander round the bay to another beach for a late lunch, which was most yummy. We then wandered back in search of coffee and all ended up getting dessert as well and are now feeling rather fat and tired.

Well first day of work is over and I think I managed not to scare too many people, there being only eight people in the office :D. I would however like to point out to people that there must be something in the Geneva Conventation about hours of work and what is allowed as a start time. I'm sure most of you will agree that 8:30 am is an hour to be asleep and safely tucked up in bed :|. Another thing if you are going to move country take your keyboard with you, its of little use to be able to touch type if some silly bastard has moved the keys, mwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa. Anyway first day good, yippee for work. Oh New Zealand was good, Air New Zealand was shite, never ever ever ever fly with them, did I say EVER, yes, right good. More later.

Well the Cup is on its way to a country that doesn't have anywhere to race it wahoo wahoo. Who is to blame, silly fucking small minded New Zealanders, I mean what else can we fuck up, give way or otherwise screw up sporting wise, we managed to lose co-hosting the rugby world cup and now lose the Americas Cup. If the people running Team New Zealand had have been more interested in the sport and less in money and glam maybe we could have keep the best yachts men in the world and held the cup, ah well.

We have just got back from a long day in the sun, went to our cafe for breakfast, amazing bacon and eggs, then got the bus out to Bronte beach where we lay in the sun for most of the day. There was almost no cloud it was brillant, a really chilled out beach. After the beach we wandered down and watched the mardi gras parade . The end of the parade was only about a 15 minute walk from the house sooooooo it was easy getting there. It started at about 1/4 to 8 and didn't really finish until about 10 or so, a really chilled out event with loads of cool floats, I think emma got some pictures, if so I'll put them up when I get a chance.
