Oct. 24th, 2004 08:41 pmIt's been a busy week.
Thursday I went with Phil to see Shaun of the Dead. And spent two hours constantly giggling. Seriously, people, if you're having a crap time of life right now, find the money to go see this movie, and you'll feel much better. Laughter therapy without looking like a dick on some current affairs program.
It helps that the title character is Phil Foster with more hair.
Friday I went out for drinks to celebrate the birthday of one of my karate people. Not a lot of other karate people there, but those who were I had a great chat with and was begged to return to training. Apparently they need me. I told them I would if I got to do something other than teach every bloody class. ;) It was a fairly big night, ended up hanging around with Di (the birthday girl) and her work colleagues, George, Rick and Bryce. Lots of fun, although I think I'm getting too bloody old for this getting to bed at 3.30am thing. And definitely too broke. ;)
Saturday, Phil came over and tried again to update my iBook to OS X. Still no luck - there's issues with the driver for the modem. Everything's fine until I try to log on, and then I get an error that there's no dial tone. Even though it works fine on the other system. Phil is going to investigate further options, and I'm going to the Apple place to ask what it might be and hope it's something cheap/free. That having failed (my task of cleaning his bike chain and pumping up the tyres went much easier), we got pizza and beer and spent the evening watching One Perfect Day on DVD. It's still great.
Sunday. Which would be today. I spent the morning on RP stuff, then headed over to Flemington on the bike with Phil to go climbing at Victoria Ranges. Half the ropes were closed for maintenance, which bites, but I managed a few climbs regardless. Including a conglomerate of three 22 grade climbs which I think turned it into a 16 and nearly bloody killed me. Couldn't do my pet project wall since it was one of the ones that was closed - I hope they aren't going to change it too much... Still, fun was had, and we stopped at a place in the Docklands on the banks of the Yarra for GnTs and then another place in Southbank for food, since the first place didn't really seem to have any and there were no seats outside in the sun, which was the whole point. The GnT is indeed the perfect summer drink, thank you Dex. And you too, Phil.
Tomorrow is trivia night at the George (which reminds me - I need more filthy jokes!), Tuesday Seraph is calling me, Wednesday I'm calling Mel to make up for not being able to talk to her on Thursday owing to helping Phil move out - he has a room in a share house, btw - Thursday will possibly be climbing night, Friday I'm having lunch with some friends and Saturday David Bridie is playing at the Speigeltent and I may have to buy tickets if Bounce isn't able to use her connections (David's guitarist trains at her karate club *envies*).
Just when did I develop a social life?
