Goodbye Tumblr
I am going bush for the next week and a bit. No cell reception, internet, tv etc. Awesome.
Technology has made me soft, so I’m going back to my manly roots.
There will be fishing, pig hunting, burning shit, and quite possibly chainsawing down some trees. Which isn’t exactly as primitive as I would like but I figure if my caveman ancestor had access to a chainsaw he’d probably...
Why should I have to preface statements with 'in...
Am I the only one who realises that saying something like ‘this movie sucks’ is obviously an opinion and does not need to be labeled as such.
In the same way that saying ‘i have two arms’ is impliedly a fact rather than an opinion.
I mean, c’mon people.
I know I'm being unreasonable, but being...
Wow, that’s some chick logic right there. Gotta cut back on the estrogen injections.
Christmas was...
…just like an episode of ‘it’s always sunny’.
Seriously. It was like one minute we were sitting around eating whitebait/paua/scallops/crayfish and then the next we were running around town in santa costumes seeing how many people’s photos we could sneak into.
I'm so clean, I even shampooed my eyebrows.
Can I just point out - Australia will have...

Therefore Australia is better than america
AND NEW YEARS TOO! we will be in 2010 before them (:
WE’RE LIVING IN THE FURUTE, MAYN
Ah, excellent. May I point out that NZ (or at least the Republic of the Chathams) will get christmas before everyone, and must therefore be better than australia…
I like this logic.
Oh jeez my Santa costume is falling off

Coming out of the anti-HP closet
I don’t like Harry Potter. I think it’s rather stupid to be honest.
This is one of those things that I usually refrain from telling people, simply because everyone seems to take offense:
If I told someone I didn’t like Twilight, they’d be all like “yeah man, me too, high fives all round!” But when I tell someone I don’t like Harry Potter, they look at me...
Attention world, I now own an ipod
Yep, I’m such a tool.
I feel like I’ve signed my life away to Apple. It’s scary.
But I tell ya, those bastards are not getting any more of my money. If I ever open itunes again I might have to kill myself.
First rule of pop music:
‘Baby’ and ‘Whoa-oh’ rhyme with everything.
Everything.
4 Squarism
I was at a 4square today. One of two in Rakaia that are literally 10 metres apart for some reason. And I realised how awesome they are.
But I remember seeing what I thought was a 4square in oz. Did I just imagine this?
I’m so getting a 4square man t-shirt. Well, I will as soon as I get paid, seeing as I blew all my money today on petrol and beer.
Decisions decisions
Christmas sucks. It always seems to make me obsess about my (lack of) life direction.
Maybe if I ignore my problems they will go away?
I'm thinking I should make Don Vito Corleone part...
Yeah. Fuck casual. Things are gonna get done now, bitches.

“It was Jean Paul Satre,” said Holly, thinking that it may very well actually have been Albert Camus, or Flaubert, or perhaps it was even Sacha Distel, “who said hell was being trapped for eternity in a room with your friends.”
“Sure,” said Lister, “but all Satre’s mates were French.”
Happy monday
Oh man, I have to get up in the morning and go shopping. That gives me less than 8 hours of (trying to) sleep.
And it’s not even christmas shopping either - in a rare act of preparedness I’ve already done that. I need stuff for me. I hate shopping for me, I can never justify spending money on myself. It’s not like I deserve it or anything.

I have the sudden urge to watch Grease
In the wake of the intense disappointment that was HSM3, accidentally wiping my Rocky Horror tape, and NZ not getting a new Glee episode til friday, I need my musical fix.
So I’m going to the video store to get me some Grease. Anyone want to come and watch it with me? I promise I won’t sing along. Much.
Real men use endnotes
As opposed to footnotes.
Because then your lecturer will be too lazy to flick through to the end of your paper to see if you’ve referenced anything correctly.
Also, you don’t end up coming across as a complete dick by having more than half of each page taken up by footnotes.
And if anyone suggests in-text referencing I will seriously go board a plane, fly to wherever you live, and...

It's cold and raining outside...
…and as I sit here wearing stubbies and a wife-beater, I think that maybe I am in denial.
All my childhood memories seem to consist only of the hot days, where we ran out of water in our tank or when I melted the soles of my shoes whilst playing hockey. But the last few years have been mighty cold. Perhaps this country just isn’t as temperate as I assume it to be.
Of course, this is...
Calm... like a bomb?
I’m generally a placid person. Unfortunately, this means that I can’t get even the slightest bit irritated without people assuming that I’m super pissed.
Maybe I should try to be more angry?
Cat Stevens says: "You shouldn't have friends that...
I love the Cat, but I dunno about this one.
IF I could buy friends/relationships, I probably would. At least then I would be able to figure out why they liked me…

So they let girls into Scouts now?
What is this shit?
My troupe would never have stood for that. Girls do not belong in Scouts. That’s why god invented Girl Guides.
Of course, we never actually knew what went down at Guides. For all we knew, they were just as hardcore as us, but all we saw them doing was selling biscuits and knitting. And they probably lit fires with matches.
Tumblr is broken
Like, permanently broken. Nothing works. Nothing has ever worked. Some of the problems I can blame on the temperamental theme that I use, but the rest? Lets just say I am beginning to suspect that Tumblr was built by Microsoft.
But I’m willing to forgive, if only cause I figure that they don’t have the money to pay overpriced IT people to fix things.
How the fuck does this site make...
I smell like books.
Perhaps because I spent my day pouring through 16th century legal texts.
This is, I think, the ultimate testament to my nerdiness.
The ladies can’t resist :)

I don't get the internet
Maybe 1% of it is useful, and the rest just seems to evoke a “what the shit is this?” kind of response. Before you start laughing.

Cafe Cuba
Maybe in 50 years time people will discover that coffee kills people and everyone will look back on today and wonder why we all did it. Kind of like how today’s society views smoking.
I certainly hope so. Having some sort of stigma attached to coffee would make me feel so much better about being addicted to it.

I am hankering for a pankering
But what does that even mean?
“Hey, I never actually said I had a terminal illness. They just assumed I did,...”
I finally managed to get hold of Goodshirt's first...
and HOLYFSM IT COMES WITH STICKERS!
My life is complete.
I was told I couldn't spell my way out of a paper...
How exactly would one go about doing that anyway?
But who cares? Spelling is useless. If spelling was a Planeteer it would probably be even crappier than heart.

Whoever said baking soda is good for mouth ulcers...
Or at least some kind of sado-masochist.
Why do documentaries that have anything to do with astrophysics all seem to simply be scientists sitting on a bench with terrible CGI images floating around them?
And then they use some stupid analogy to describe something important. I want facts, you bastards!
14 December. Terrible thunderstorm.
Global warming my arse.
Yesterday was my work's christmas party
Did I…
Drink far to much? Yes.
Order the most expensive item on the menu just because work was paying? Yes.
Almost get arrested for trying to get past the security guards with a stanley knife in my pocket?
Make inappropriate comments to the old ladies? Most probably.
Good times.
Stubble update:
Pretty ratty looking actually.
As soon as I find 5 bucks I promise I’ll go buy some more shaving cream, but for now I’m happy with the ‘Grow a beard, save the world’ movement.
Cause there’s probably some poor bearded men out there who need a shave more than I do, right?
Still not king yet :)
