New Zealand Idol!

Submitted by TiM on

They should export New Zealand Idol around the world to every country. It would be the top rating show in the comedy category. It's SO pathetic! We were watching it last night, well Sarah and John were, I was mostly geeking on the computer. The judge's lines are so terribly scripted, they don't speak their mind they speak something that sounds very deep and sad and designed to have the views on the edge of their seats. Personally I'm glad I wasn't on the edge of a cliff because I think I would have jumped over given the opportunity. Poor New Zealand though, it's a small country so this is the best they can do. The "cream" of the singers though can't sing in tune or sustain a note. Not that I can do this either, I'm not suggesting that I'm brilliant (though we all know I am) but if...

Sarah's Birthday and the Cool Movie!

Submitted by TiM on

Hello everyone how are we doing today? I hope no trucks have tipped over and crashed into your houses, or anything else nasty like that has happened. That would make me sad.



Yesterday was Sarah's Birthday! Happy Birthday for yeseterday to Sarah! I should have written a diary entry but well, I was so busy that I didn't write one. It would have been all the stress of Tuesday as I ran around buying presents and baking cakes. Well, a cake. A cake out of a packet actually. But it was still a cake! Even if the only decoration was "Sarah 22" carved into the icing. That's right groovers, I forgot to buy the M&Ms I was going to decorate the carved bit with.

So I suck at cake making. Regardless of that though I think Sarah had a good birthday, I picked her up after work and gave her...

Sheep Mania

Submitted by TiM on

I downloaded a really cool game for my phone the other night called Sheep Mania. It's really cool.



That's about all I wanted to say today really, weekend was pretty quiet and boring, this is the first 5 day week I'll have worked in ages (due to public holidays and annual leave)


Finally got paid today, seems like years ago since that last happened (we got paid early last time)


Just pretend this is a big long update with lots of exciting stuff in it, then we can all go home happy.

PS: If you're sick of Internet Explorer sucking as badly as it does, checkout Mozilla FireFox. Faster and better than Internet Explorer (and totally free!), plus it's also uber-geeky.



PPS: Work is finally going to shell out for a new laptop. That's right, I can retire my at least 4 year old laptop that doesn't work...

Day Off

Submitted by TiM on

It's a day off in New Zealand today, it's Waitangi Day. It's ment to be a day of celebration but all that happens is the Maoris fight with the politicans. Personally I think the Maoris have a perfectly valid point and claim to the land, but you don't want to say that too loudly arond here because everyone looks at you funny. Fucks me off, people like my workmate who came here from England thinks he has more right to be here than they do, because he has a job. That really fucks me off, but everyone is entitled to their opinion.

The summary of all that though is we get a day to do stuff all. Sarah has big assignment she's supposed to be doing but currently she's playing Tony Hawk and I'm sitting here in front of the computer. We were going to go away with Yvette and...

What a day.

Submitted by TiM on

Damn, what a day.

And to top it off I went nuts at someone who I later realised is my bosses boss.

Thankfully my little tanty was actually warrented and I made a bunch of valid points. It's probably good I didn't realise who he was until later, otherwise I'd have just been a suckhole.

My keyboard is blue. This seems to be because I come to work with blue hands (I must rub my hair in my sleep?) and even though I try to wash it off in the shower in the morning. So it ends up on my keyboard. It now has a very light blue haze to it. I thought my eyes were playing tricks on me, but they weren't.

Anyway, more work to be done, less fun to be had.

It's Kinda Floody

Submitted by TiM on

What a trucked up day today was! It was raining SO hard this morning and it was Sarah's first day of work at Vodafone. The poor girl didn't even manage to get to Vodafone before she was totally soaked. Apart from that it sounds like it went pretty well, though it was a tiring day they made her walk around everywhere. She's got blisters on her feet too, poor thing!

It was raining so so hard this morning, it was even the lead story on NZHerald at lunchtime, some people who had left for work at 7am were just getting in at 10am. That's bad. It wasn't that bad for me, but all the roads were like rivers.



Anyway, enough about the weather. Weekend was ok, it just pissed with rain for most of it though. We went to a waterslide park on Saturday, that was lots of fun. Most...

Wet and Miserable!

It's pissing with cold rain today, thus again stopping me from walking to work. I should probably buy a raincoat so I can walk to work regardless, but when you have the option of walking in the pissing rain or driving in your nice MR2 you just cleaned up nicely last night, it's hard not to pick the car option. Especially because music sounds better in the car.

So have a bit more of a look at Sarah's site, see over on the right there the little image of me looking like a tool? Roll over it with your mouse and then I change into a wonderful little thing. Nice to know my GF thinks so highly of me! I will plot my revenge later today...



John, Alex and I went out for dinner last night to a super dodgy Chinese resturant. John was telling me how primo it was...

Screaming And Wailing

Submitted by TiM on

Well not really, but it was a cool subject so I decided to write it anyway. What's news here? Not a real lot really, I have been doing lots of exericse and eating healthy food to try and terminate my pregnancy (ie: my pot belly) and have just been laughed at for a good 5 minutes because people at work saw my one painted toenail. Before you askL: My feet were itchy, ok? There's no rule about bare feet at work (or is there?)




Look right here for 3 pictures of my latest hair colouring mission. Or for even more fun be sure to look at Sarah's flashy new journal. Very funky.




In other news I went and had lunch with my friend Yvette today, then went into the pet shop afterwards to look at their turtles. I can't wait to get some, me and Sarah have been looking...

Moo

Hi monsters, how are we all today?


I have nice blue hair at the moment, Sarah dyed it for me on Sunday. Blue dye is the worst so far I think, it runs really easily and it stains everything with a deathly grip! The shower was a total mess after I'd washed the dye out, it took a fair bit of scrubbing and spraying to get the shower clean again.

Not much other news to tell you about I'm afraid, I'm back at work today after the long weekend and having been sick Thursday/Friday of last week. It's nice to be healthy again.



Didn't do too much on the weekend, apart from shopping. Oh yea we also went to checkout some apartments for Sarah, that was pretty crazy. The old guy trying to sell them was very incoherant and blabbering, crapping on and on about apartments that were already sold...

Hello

Submitted by TiM on

We made it back safe and sound. Thanks John for picking us up from the airport.

Bored? Then here's some photos of the trip to look at. I haven't added any information to the photos yet, you should be able to figure most of them out. They're taken with my mobile phone mostly, though the bigger shots are taken with Sarah's video camera.

Proper photos taken with my SLR will be posted later.
