Pressies and Plans
My brother's girlfriend is working on Christmas Day so it's unlikely we'll see much of her. She's coming around this week in order to give us our gifts. As is always the way; she will be coming over at the beginning of my days off so I probably won't have time to get her gift before she shows up.
Depending on timing and such I may be able to get it in time. I'll return her books while I'm at it.
When I had dial up with Optusnet, they offered a voucher with dstore.com.au equal to my monthly fee so I had an account with them. That was a long time ago, a fact probably not needing to be mentioned since the sentence included "dial-up". Generally DStore is more expensive so I haven't shopped there since. Amusingly, they're doing some account house-keeping and offered me a $10 voucher to reactivate my account but it had to be used by the 31st.
I wasn't sure I'd end up using it but on a whim I looked up Beast Wars DVDs, that's Blackarachnia from the series pointing her weapon at you, and they had all three seasons in stock. I looked all over, a while ago, and could only find Season 1 in stock. I weighed it for a bit then decided "what the hells" and bought all three with $10 off. It was cheaper than EzyDVD even without the voucher.
According to the site I may even get it before Christmas. Astounding but it would be well timed.
Guilt is a slight factor since I'm about to leave my job and thus will have no income until I find another. Heh, on the bright side at least I'll have a few things to do while I look.
Friends have invited me to Funzone, the only local arcade. I've probably only been there 5 or 6 times in my life and they've changed premises half as many times over the years. I seldom get a chance to socialise with local friends, or non-local ones for that matter. While being with lots of people drains me, every now and then it's nice to have some good company. The arcade, however, would not have been my first choice... or have appeared anywhere on the list for that matter.
This weekend will mark the return of my brother from his very intense and seemingly endless military training. I'm supposed to set up his Surround Sound speakers before he gets here. Really must remember that. Also, I need to pick up something nice for Mum other than the gift I've already gotten her since she knows what it is. I prefer to surprise people if I can.
Does the update journal webpage ever stay the same? Gets me all mixed up.
New Years is not something I generally celebrate, however, I have been invited to Brisbane for the occasion. It would be nice to go since once or twice this year I've already had to cancel trips. Grrr. There is my Perth trip to consider, however. I really hope I can afford that next year, definitely good incentive to get another job.
I'm considering creating a new persona for MSN. There is a lot of dead wood on my current list and I've somewhat outgrown my hotmail address... the spam alone... I'll think on it some more but don't fear, I'll post any new contact details if it comes to that.
