So, yeah, stuff:
- So after four weeks of crazy work stuff things are under control and nothing lit on fire. A project in crisis, my boss being away and one of my mentoring engineers leaving our company meant a few weekends in the office at lots of early starts and late finishes. This week won't be a walk in a park but it'll be a lot better, plus it's only three days long :)
- Mum flew out to Nepal on Friday. Her mum and two of her sisters moved there and she usually visits them once a year. Sometimes it's a little worrying her going because Nepal's not always the most stable country, but things have been pretty calm of late so I'm sure she'll be okay.
- Boo going to work tomorrow! A five day weekend has lulled me into a pattern of laziness I'm not anxious to break. Oh well, all good things must come to an end. I'm pretty happy with my use of the past five days (see dot points below).
- My birthday party was made of awesomesauce. Special thanks to the people who helped provide music and helped with the cleanup the next day. It was great to have all my friends gathered in one place, sorry if I didn't spend enough time with certain people but as much as I tried to float around I was really outnumbered. Apart from a stolen traffic cone there weren't any especially scandalous shenanigans, just a generally good time. It's made me fully realize how much I miss hanging out with my friends on a daily basis like at uni. I miss the random geeky conversations, chilling on campus, and being able to randomly hug people (doesn't go down too well at work). Oh well, such is life.
- I went to a silent disco at East End in Freo, which is a great bar and club. Everyone was given a pair of headphones that you could tune to one of three DJs who were all mixing at the same time. It was pretty cool having a choice of music, plus having the music on headphones instead of blaring in club meant you could actually have a conversation with someone without shouting.
- Suckerpunch was better than I thought it would be. Visually spectacular, good soundtrack and the story didn't suck. The ending was a little weak and some of the dialogue a little cheesy, but otherwise it was pretty good.
- I wasn't going to see Thor but enough people have said enough good things about it to make me rethink that position. Anyone not seen it yet who'd be up for seeing it this weekend?
- I made linguine with tomato, capsicum and chorizo sauce. It's alright but the chorizo I bought was a little substandard.
- I'm looking to get some more weight discs for my dumbbells. Does anyone have weights they're no longer using and wouldn't mind selling?
