My Day Off

I took a sickie today. Not the "great Aussie tradition" one either. I was genuinely sick. Got a doctors certificate, prescription meds, the usual. But I digress (I what?)...

For a very long time, I didn't have a job and I got entirely too used to it in many ways. Today I realised how easy I had it when I got sick. What I mean by this is that when I got a bad cold, it wouldn't bother me to be out of action for days at a time. Sure, I'd get meds when needed and hate the feeling of being unwell. But now days, I've had about 3-4 individual sick days this year, each time I've gone back to work feeling better though not totally recovered.

I bring this up because despite my general feeling of unwell, I fully intend on going to work tomorrow. Even though I'll probably just want to sleep for most of the day, just like today - though I did force myself to go for a walk and not get as much sleep as I could/should have.

No real point to this post, I guess. Just a noticing a difference to "this time last year".

drinksareon.us

Today I open a new site... Completely different to this one, though run by me so you know it's gonna be fun (at some point). Drinksareon.us is, well here's a snippet from what I wrote about it..

Oh, what is this place? Well, it's a review site... For beer (beerviews?). The simple idea being, that we want to try as many different brews as possible and to encourage others to as well. Sure, you might have a favourite that you drink all the time, but how did you get to that favourite? And did you try just a few before deciding that you like that one above others?

So, have at it! Reviews can be submitted by anyone, and you're all encouraged to do so. If you have an account with this site, you can simply use: username@tunhguod.com as your log in, and your password will be the same as for this site.

Lordi

ats you Randomly flicking channels last night, I came across the Eurovision Song Contest, after muting a couple of shit pop songs, Lordi came on.

I'd never heard of this group before, but I sure have now. Who couldn't like a group that references Evil Dead not just with their music videos and site, but with their costumes as well.

Wondering what they sound like? Well, it's metal... But more like a soft metal, but damn it's good.

Turns out, they won the Eurovision contest too. Congrats to the few visitors to this site who are from Finland (leave a comment, if you're from Finland)

New Toy: Nokia 6280

Yep, brand new phone for me to enjoy. The Nokia 6280.

No, that's not my hand. This is a random photo from a quick Google Image Search.

It has all the current buzz words, and a 240x340 screen that has all the colours you could possible ask for.

I guess y'all can expect a few spur of the moment photos from my phone when I don't have my real camera around. Expect pictures of laughable ricers and pets doing things th

Merry (Late) B'day, Punks!

Thursday May 4th was Betty's b'day... Friday the 5th was Heath's...

My Drinking Injury

This story takes place around Halloween in 2003, the setting was my garage, some old couches, my TV and PS2, plenty of booze and some friends. I won't start at the beginning of the night, but jump in right around when the injury happened.

It was a common occurrence for me and Taylor go on for drunken walks around my neighbourhood. Actually, it was more of a tradition. Anyway, we'd been watching and laughing at many "scary" movies and having a great time, when Taylor, Rob and me decided to go for a walk. Three large drunk guys walking loudly around the streets probably made a few people locks their doors.

We eventually came to a major road near me, that has a retaining wall on both sides, that starts off small but eventually gets quite tall. We'd followed a footpath along this road until it ended at a lane way. Burto and Taylor stood at the end of this path waiting for me to catch up, and I had assumed we were going to cross the road.

We weren't.

We were actually about 1-to-1.5m above the road at that point, and I took a step off the retaining wall like it was a normal gutter.

I landed on my left leg hard enough for it to collapse under me, and I laid on the ground for only a few moments when Taylor landed on top of me. He had also taken the long step off the wall.

Now, my injury was nothing serious... Some grazed skin and ego and every so often my left hip will hurt enough for me to lip slightly as it's some what painful to walk. And Taylor's injuries? None. The bastard landed on me, so he felt no paint at all.

After this happened, and we'd rolled out of the way of oncoming traffic we walked (well, I limped) back home and we had many more drinks and laughed about it until early hours of the morning.

Words, glorious words!

Well, the "which wench" poll is over, with Jessica Alba the clear winner - and rightfully so. A new poll is up now, as some have suggested that "tunhguod" is too hard to remember. Plus it's not all that marketable* or the best to put on a business card.

The new photos I've recently been posting are from an old dairy near work, it's going to be fixed up soon as an educational point, and I got in to get photos before any changes.

Also, the idea was thrown out there to go 4WD-ing tomorrow, I have no clue we're we'll go but I have no doubt I'll find something to snap photos of. hehe

* = Yes, I said marketable.

Dell Hell

Last Sunday, I ordered a Dell 2005FPW 20" UltraSharp Wide Screen Flat Panel LCD Monitor through their online store. It was 20% off and was a great bargain - and since I have the cash now, why not?

Anyway, I expected delivery during the week. But for whatever reason, the credit card was never charged and none of the delivery or customer numbers I had worked. What the hell, Dell?

I want my expensive new toy now! :o

Manly Thing To Do

This Friday night will be football, beer and poker ($10 entry to the game) at Burto's place. Even Taylor will be making an appearance, but not his imaginary girlfriend as she's in "Perth"

If you don't know the address, you aren't invited - and no I won't tell you.
