Sweet Amber

So, I’m up really late, listening to Metallica’s Lament to femme fatal sexually personified alcoholic beverages, and its making me really thirsty for femme fatal sexually personified alcoholic beverages… I think I’ll take the ELEVATOR to the BAR…

I have moved into the new place, me and vicki dragged all our stuff up 42 storeys almost to the crux of this monolithic overly decadent temple of modern consumerism… and I have finally acquired the broadband that I have been so very thirsty for these long dry months in the outer western suburbs of Melbourne’s drought stricken landscape. So far I have managed to not go to bed before midnight for a week…. I really need to get back on track… the internet has sucked me into its underbelly and left me wanting.

SO yesterday I actually left the building for purposes other than the need to relocate belongings from one proxy location to my newly acquired domicile, I went out in search of food, in the form of milk and whatever else I could get with the 43cents I had left after the milk… which turned out to be a packet of 2 minute noodles that disappointingly took longer than 2 minutes to consume. Never the less, I was out in the night groping the night-life with my ocular receptors, and my god is this place hedonism-ville, mere meters from my home I now have access to everything that has made western society the fat stupid wasteful consumer whore it has become… and I diddlie* LOVE IT!

New Appartment!

So, I have awesome news for you all today, I have found another apartment worthy of my presence deep in the Melbourne CBD and the best part is, I have ADSL2+ again! Through luck, negotiating and from what I can tell DEMONIC FORCES on our side, my wife Victoria chucked a sicky on Tuesday and located a private advert on a forum just like this one, except this one was more focused on crazy cat people, for an apartment for rent privately in the QV1 Building (pictured here)

Its basically a SEXY-AS 44 floor tower on top of a SUPER MODERN styled Mall, full of all kinds of IF-YOU-HAVE-TO-ASK-ITS-TOO-MUCH shops, but also the basics like Safeway (Woolworths), big W, office works, Harvey Norman, that kinda thing. God damn the view from the top is excellent. The spot we are in is on the 42nd floor, so almost at the top and you can see all the way too the ocean from the windows.

Seeing how its a private rental, the Lady who owns the apartment is leaving some of her “crap” behind, by “crap” I’m talking a 42″ Plasma, pre-connected ADSL2+, a fridge, washer and a spare bed. I think the universe is definitely telling me to stay in Melbourne for a little while longer… and I must say that I don’t really mind Melbourne if this is the way I shall be treated from now on…

I am quite literally in NIRVANA.

Taxi’s Are Expensive

So yeah, I went up to Newcastle last weekend, my dad was hangin out at my place for a week and me and the wife drove back up with him in his car… late at night, with dodgy headlights and flew back on the sunday with jetstar for $50 each, so like, it cost us $50 in petrol to get from melbourne to newcastle, then $50 to get from Newcastle to Melbourne via plane… then it cost us $74.50 to drive from the airport to our house FFS!

Yeah so next time I think I’ll just slip a $50 to my cousin and she can come and pick me up:D

Time Wasting…

So, my work sometimes entails visiting clients on-site to fix problems with their computer networks, today was one of those sometimes.

Now I didn’t have my car today, the wife was driving it, so I had to get there on foot, not too bad, it only took me about 1 hour and 30 minutes to walk there, lugging a laptop+assorted accessories in a laptop bag over my shoulder, so I finally get up to about 500m away from the clients office, and my boss calls “He y mate, you want to go get a coffee for a sec, I haven’t quite finished what I need to do before you can set up the stuff at the client, can you give me 1 hour” I’m like yeah thats cool, its on your time, so I’ll hang out at a coffee shop surfing the net on the company mobile phone and drinking some company paid for Vanilla Late goodness…

So when I’m bored with that, 45 minutes later, I phone up and the boss tells me that its taking a while, and I might as well head back to the office and we will do this tomorrow !!!!

So I walk back to the office…

Today I got to work at 9, went for a walk… got back at 1:30 and yeah… productive!

Also I think I got a sunburn, damn this accursed planet and the giant spherical INFERNO of cosmic energy that it rotates around. My poor nerd skin is all red and blistery Also, damn my bosses bumbling incompetence!
