It occured to be last night that if I want to buy a videogame now, it will cost ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS. Why the hell do videogames cost so much? You only ever finish 20% of games you own (source: Edge #132), most of them have horrible dialogue (source: any of the cut scenes in Max Payne), 99% of them are ...

A closer inspection of my most recent Telstra phone bill actually reveals that they charged my phone line 40 dollars in January even though I wasn’t in the country the whole time. A quick call to Optus, who I cancelled my service with in November reveals that they think I owe them THREE HUNDRED AND SIXTY DOLLARS from calls made ...

“Hey hey! I just finished my LAST EVER UNIT so I’m on a bit of a high at the moment.” – Me, October 30th 2003. Okay, so as it turned out, I miscalculated by about 100 days but I can tell you now, that I have finally finished my degree. I went in to see Robin Teo today to ask ...

i have returned to the big city of Melbourne. Today i had to go in search of a job… not the most ideal idea of fun, but i’ve gotta fund this trip somehow. I’m not to sure but i think i heard someone mutter the words “light labour” to me… does this mean i’ll be moving boxes of something? i ...

I’ve tried installing anti-virus software and anti-spyware on there and they ...

I’m still job-hunting without much success. For the past week I’ve been working at CfBT in Kiarong with Jen, Sean, Anna and Michael Phillips. We test this software called College English. It’s quite fun because there’s quite a few characters in the program based on people I know. So far I’ve found: my mom, Jen’s mom, Matt, Barnaby and spotted ...

“At some point during the night, I had lodged a flask of fine scotch whiskey between my buttocks.” – Chief Barley’s latest post. Did anyone else notice how on the buttons for our site, the main page has ‘forums’, in plural form, and on the other pages it lists it as ‘forum’, in singular? I never noticed until just now. ...

I don’t really have anything to say with this post. I’m just trying to get back in to the habit of updating regularly. I can’t really remember exactly what I’ve done for the first two weeks of the year. I worked a few days. Hung out with Mike and Matt before they left. Had my first ever Empire party, a ...

I get home from the border today and my dad says ‘I cancelled your flight back on the 16th’. See I was originally due back on the 16th but I wanted to stay a little longer since my mom just came back from Japan. I was wait-listed for the 26th and 28th. So I said ‘great, so when am I ...
