April 29 I've been sorted...April 23 NOT HAPPY JANGRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR.
It looks like my block subject will clash with CU's Mid Year Camp.
DAMN IT, it was going to be my last CU camp EVER!!!! That makes it all 50 times worse.
SO NOT HAPPY JAN. April 19 Good times, good timesHehe hmm what a weird week. I have been busy just about every night, doing nothing but my Harry Potter assignment during the day. (And finding out lots of goss about the 7th book in the process!!! XD)
Sunday night of course was church; Monday night was empty; Tuesday night was dinner at Heidi's; Wednesday night was Focus; tonight was an Adventure Club meeting; Friday will be dinner at the McDougalls'; Saturday I'm going out with Andre; Sunday will be church again; Monday will be Big League at the footy; Tuesday will be dinner with Andre again; Wednesday will be Focus; Thursday will be Meaty Bites; Friday will be Adventure Club... WOW I'm book out every night right through to the end of next week!!!
Anyway, dinner at Heidi's was a lot of fun. Thanks for cooking Hadze and Johann! Johann, you did a wonderful job cutting up those veggies ;) And Heidi, good to see you have that cousin of yours at work in the kitchen :P
It was a bit of a group we had at Heidi's. There was Heidi, Johann, me, Andre, Clinton, Marnie, James, Wian, Joel, Jack, Jessie, Jako, Geoff, Maddy, Greg and Skye at the end. We ate a wonderful dinner; played a South African game which I heard Aussies calling Flicker but I don't know the actual name for it; drank wine... and cider... and scotch... and corona (I only drank the first two :P) with nobody getting drunk *glances at Clinton and Johann- they came close- Clinton forgot within 15 minutes that he'd bought ice cream for us*; beat each other up with rolled up newspapers; laughed a lot; took candid photos and videos of people (http://s13.photobucket.com/albums/a291/ireth_aiwendil/Heidis%20Dinner%20-%20April%202007/); and basically just had a lot of fun. It was an awesome night. You know how there are times when you have heaps of fun, then later, you look back at photos and videos and realise you had an even better time than you realised? That was one of those nights. It was so great to see my friends like Marnie and James and Joel and Clinton who I hadn't seen in ages. And Johann is always good fun. We sort of bounce off each other when it comes to laughter... Jessie doesn't help :D
BUT ANYWAY. Good fun. Check out the photos and videos... the video sound is a bit dodgy, I might nick the funniest ones sometime (like the one below) and stick captions on them if Marnie lets me :) April 16 How did I manage that...An assignment on Harry Potter? Heh. I'm going to have fun with that one. Except for the minor fact that it's actually giving me a bit of difficulty. (Which I still view as a good thing).
“The Harry Potter stories portray a strangely diminished world where normal, non-magical people, the Muggles, are marginal, boring or annoying and seem to lack any particular significance or power beyond force of numbers, and the Wizards approach magic as a form of science to be taught in college like engineering. There is a rudimentary sense of moral order but no religion, beyond a looming sense of absolute evil.” Discuss." I hate assignments where the topic gives about 4 different subjects (the relationship between the Muggle & Wizarding worlds; the idea Muggles are marginal, boring, or annoying; the wizards' approach to magic; the 'rudimentary sense of moral order'). And I'm supposed to "discuss" all of them?! >_< Oh well, I'm still having fun doing the assignment. ----------------------------------------- WHAT THE?! Y'know how the Ross Dam filled to about 70% after that deluge of rain we had in January? Apparently it ended up filling to just under 100% in February. By mid February, it had dropped to 50%. It is now at 35%. WHY?!?! Townsville definitely hasn't used it all. It is my guess- from the fact that the weirs only stopped overflowing about a month ago- that due to the height of the dam wall, it is incapable of holding more than about 40%. (It sat on about 40% for a few weeks around the time the weirs stopped overflowing). Which, in my mind, is bloody RIDICULOUS. Do you know how much water must have been wasted, running straight over the top of that dam wall? 60% of its proper capacity, which is 137,842 ML. That is criminal, especially with south east Queensland in such desperate need of water. Straight out of our dam and into the ocean. April 11 Goodbye to MSN Spaces?Well, that's what I'm thinking about anyway. I'm considering switching across to Blogspot, for two main reasons. One, I don't use my hotmail account anymore (which this Space is linked to). Because I have two hotmail-linked accounts active (a hotmail one and my current gmail one) whenever I need to use this, it asks which account I'm logging in on. Blogspot, because I only have one account, I can just tell it to remember me. And yes, I already have an account because it is linked with my gmail account. So one reason is out of convenience and "now I can forget about my hotmail account".
The second reason is that Blogspot just looks nicer than MSN Spaces. The layout is neater- the main focus is the blog itself, with one side bar. I realise you can change templates on this thing, but everytime I go onto someone else's blogspot blog, I think to myself just how much nicer it is to look at and use than an MSN Space. (At least MSN Spaces aren't as evil as MySpaces though.)
So, due to the combination of the above, I'm getting sick of MSN Spaces and looking more towards Blogger (Blogspot, whichever you call it). I will keep you posted on my decisions. Right now, I'm going to go eat Easter Eggs. April 03 The Cowboys are my team...Well it's footy season again and don't we know it. Great performances by the Cowboys so far, haven't lost a game.
Round 1 we beat the Premiers, the Broncos, 23-16. Round 2 of course we flattened the Roosters 43-6, Miss Moo (Dairy Farmers' mascot) was walking around with a rubber rooster hanging off a stick with a rope round its neck. And Round 3 we beat the Dragons 22-18. So that is what has put the Cowboys as #2 on the ladder, with teams like the Roosters, the Broncos, Wests Tigers and the Eels right down the bottom.
In fact neither the Broncos nor the Roosters nor Wests Tigers have even won a game yet. Even the Titans, the new kids on the block, are beating them. Bit disappointing, I'd like to see the Broncos make a bit of a comeback, Roosters and Tigers can stay on the bottom of the ladder for all I care. Wonder if we'll see another NSW-exclusion Grand Final this year, or maybe even a QLD Grand Final? Wouldn't Sydney kick up a stink about that, I think it's high time something like last year's Grand Final happened, teach Sydney there's more to Australia and more to football than themselves.
Lucky me, I get to see some good games this year all for free when I go to sell Big League magazines. I got to see the Roosters game, then I'll be up for the Rabbitohs (thumbs up to Rabbitohs for getting rid of the cheer girls and bringing in the drum squad, DRUMS ROCK), and YAY I get to see the Storm game, as well as our cross-Tasman friends the Warriors, and of course the second Queensland Derby of the season, the Broncos game, then lastly the Bulldogs. Wish I could see the Wests Tigers game, I could if I wanted but I think I'll opt out. And boo to the NRL for not bringing the Titans up here- but oh, that's right, the NRL tends to forget Townsville exists, we wouldn't want to meet the new team or anything.
Ok well that's enough from me. Have a good week everyone. |
