Emptily unfulfilled
I do believe you deserve better than merely that (albeit hilarious - seriously) joke in a week’s timeframe, so I shall tell you a bit about what’s been going on, rather than doing as the title of the post suggests.
Some of the Cebs chums and I went up to Bribie on Sunday for a bit of sun and surf. Bribie’s not known for its amazing surf, and it lived up to its reputation, until the tide started going out a bit, and the waves picked up a little, but were still not great. But anyway, we had fun. I got a bit sunburned, but not too badly - it was all better the next day.
It was pretty dam hot day on Sunday, and my phone was all like “Callun man… it’s so hot down here in your pocket man… can’t you do something? Dude?”, so I was all like… obliging, and took the little fella for a swim. I showed him how to body surf, before dismembering him and letting him dry out. It brings a tear to my eye to know that he died happy - surfing.
So, I needed to get a new phone. I saw in a shop a Nokia 6030 and decided that was what I wanted, but the shop was actually out of stock. I dilligently ordered it online, using Dean’s money (thanks Dean!) , and received it today. It’s a pretty shmick phone, and I think it’ll suit me perfectly. IT’s taking forever to charge but. Dam… it’s been charging for ages. Hopefully it’s just the “first charge jitters” or something.
So what else has happened during the week? Mum and dad are in Canberra, and have been since Saturday, so I’ve been living a subsistence lifestyle (moreso than normal), with Dean popping over every so often. I’ve been doing some graphics work for his trip to Brainshare, and that’s been fun. I also soldered up a new switch for a lamp of mine that crapped itself. That was fun, though a little messy, as I soldered, and unsoldered a few times, double checking my work, realising it was wrong, then fixing it. It all works good now.
I picked up Berny and Karen from the airport on Monday, after their holiday to Cairns, and in return, Berny trimmed my hair back to uber-flat-flat-top, and I stayed there for dinner, which was delightful as usual.
I’m going ice skating tomorrow, which should be fun. I haven’t ice-skated in a while, so, let’s all have a guess at home many times we all think I’ll fall over. I’m reluctanly guessing once, cos I’d be surprised if I didn’t fall over once, especially with how much clowning around I’m sure to do.
Okay, so that about wraps it up for me. Got a cebs meeting tomorrow night to plan the coming semester, so until then.
