This weekend int and I went to the Blue Mountains. They are cold, but not really that big a deal compared to fucking Canberra cold. We went to Katoomba and I saw the Three Sisters which I thought were much more isolated but aren't. It's like the whole reason the town exists. Continued on to Jenolan to go caving which was fun. Similar deal to the caves ( Read more... )

I went to the gym on Friday for about 30-45mins. I had intended to get an hour in but my muscles weren't any good by then. Went to the Beach Bash several hours later, which was ok but whatever, and got home after midnight. Woke up on Saturday with all the muscles in my upper body hurting and being difficult to move. I was fine on Friday, gah. Only ( Read more... )

I'm suddenly very, very excited for this film.

"It is not surprising that 20th Century Fox slapped an embargo on critics at Monday evening’s world-first screening of Australia. They knew they were sitting on dynamite - a film of such unrelenting awfulness that it will struggle to return its massive budget." - Mark Naglazas.

Ouch.

Outta here in less than 24hrs and I'm SO disorganised, as usual ( Read more... )

Had my induction thing for work on Friday. Was basically just an orientation of the store, where everything is, etc and half a dozen forms to fill out. Talked to the manager for a few minutes and he said to call him back on Monday to sort out some shifts for the week. Hopefully I'll get a few from Tuesday and payroll will have hooked me up with a ( Read more... )

Not a lot happened this week so I haven't really had anything to update with. Spent the whole long weekend at home doing nothing because I have litterally no work to do during the week off, though I pretend I have heaps so the parents don't take advantage of the situation. I couldn't really be bothered calling up heaps of people or sending SMSes en ( Read more... )

I've not really been online all that much this week. Several times I've had conversations with people that would have been almost entirely redundant if I had read their messages or entries. That's interesting in itself, however, and people have lamented the effect LJ has on conversation in general. Anyway ( Read more... )

Dear god I hate the first week back at uni. There's too fucking many people on campus and so many of them are first years who have absolutely no clue about anything at all. There were LINES to get into the Tav today and everyone was being checked for ID. I mean seriously, that never happens unless there's like an event or something happening, and ( Read more... )

I went paintballing with a dozen uni people today. It's ridiculously fun despite not being the most comfortable physical activity. Fortunately, due to the cyclone up north, it was not 39C today - more like maybe 30C or so. But still, when you have pants and t-shirt on and then pull cammo overalls over that, and run around a lot, you get pretty hot ( Read more... )
