So hey, stuff:
- I'm currently reading Shades of Grey by Jasper Forde. It's set in a world where some "event" has happened that causes everyone to only be able to see a certain range of the colour spectrum, and a whole class system has established around this. It's very comical and I've moved through it pretty quickly. Definitely a recommend if you're looking for something different and generally lighthearted.
- Went on a very classy bar crawl with Sheebs and Dinusha. We tried out five different bars in the CBD area and had a different cocktail at each. Dinusha impressed the folks and the Greenhouse with her cocktail knowledge. FYI Greenhouse deserts are absolutely delicious. The only problem with bars in the CBD is that they either close at midnight or close at 1am with a midnight lockout, so you can't be out that late. Anywho we're planning to do the same thing in Mount Lawley in the near future, there are more bars and they're open later.
- Engineers Australia has a ball coming up in a few weeks which my work was find enough to buy me a ticket to. That reminds me, I really should have my suit dry-cleaned at some point.
- Yesterday was lots of fun. It started with breakfast with Chesna, who's spent the past month galavanting around Greece. Hung out at Borders for a few hours and read comics before heading to a birthday picnic in Kings Park for an Oaktree friend. Was lots of fun, although the weather was colder and more overcast than expected. I guess winter had to happen sooner or later. Later in the evening there was Katie's birthday shindig at Devilles. It's definitely the most interesting venue I've been to in a long time, and Perth needs more themed bars and restaurants. Finished up playing drunk poker at Tom's place for his birthday into the wee hours of the morning. All in all a day well spent.
- I've now completed Portal 2 at it was awesome. Puzzles were creative and challenging, humor was excellent and the many references to science were greatly appreciated. Now I'm going to have to get into co-op mode. Anyone looking for a Portal partner?
- I think I'll make myself an elwire Optimus Prime mask for Burning Man.
