Westie, I think you need psychological help. That, or find something more compelling to do while BB is on. Like, I dunno, watching paint dry maybe...

Ideally, you have to work to be able to pay for whatever you want. Unfortunately once you're working, there's a crapload of things one has to pay for whether they like it or not, be it insurance, rego, the rent, posting bail, etc etc. But I hear ya. Yesterday in my day job I stumbled across a little coffee-cafe place offering "Baristers' Breakfasts". I was intrigued to see what was in it. I was sorely disappointed- two little eggs, two pieces of toast and two sausages with a demitasse of coffee. The only thing "Barister" about this stupid breakfast was its outrageous price of $15.00. But it was my money that was burned here than my bosses' petty cash on this breakky so I didn't feel too bad about it. |

watching BB means I empty my mind of thoughts...It's a great way to t8une out and get rid of the rubbish that floats around in your head. |

I like thunderstorms, the louder the better! I don't like it when it is muggy outside. You really shouldn't talk to me until after I have had my morning cup of coffee. |

The only time I like muggy weather is when I'm on a tropical island and then who cares lol I love rain on the roof, that's why when we built our new house we put a colourbond roof on it. |

I went out for drinks with grad mates last Friday at the Republic Bar on Bridge and Pitt Streets, Sydney. Classy place, all suits. Felt very proletarian in my gear. They were playing some cool and classic 80s music. I could name most of them except one- I spent a good part of the night driving myself mad trying to remember the name of the song and the band who produced it. It finally hit me and I screamed it out, a little too loud in hindsight. Gotta love weird one hit wonders like Dead or Alive's 'You Spin Me Around'! |

Like most of the people in the East-sieeeede, I love the repetitive sound of rain pattering on the roof at night. It eases the mind and lulls oneself to a deep sleep. But, like most of the same aforementioned people, we now hate any form of hail. Ever since a monster hail storm took out most of the tiled roofs in the suburbs adjoining mine back in 1999. Suddenly, tin roofs came back in fashion, guaranteed to dent but not crack or become brittle like old terracotta tiling. |

...and then some 'smart' people decided that the monster hailstorm was a great way of scamming insurers into upgrading their old car by either 1) using a golf ball and branding the heck out of the car's bodywork 2) dropping family sized packs of frozen peas onto the car (or in lieu of that, heavy bags of ice) or 3) just vandalise the crap out of the car and claim that somehow the hail did the damage. |

Last Saturday a mate of mine had his 80s Tennis themed bday party at the local RSL (in a posh part of Sydney so the place wasnt a complete dive). We were responsible for his uncontrolled drinking, believing that both hands needed to be loaded up with Coronas otherwise we'd have to 'top him up'. Cut to several hours later, a few of us escorted him home. Chunder from Down Under into the bath tub. Ewwww. Followed up by more contributions by another mate of ours. Double Ewwww. I had to work next morning and I was feeling very ordinary, despite feeling pretty good and in control of myself the previous night and learning from my previous two unpleasant experiences in the past. After brunch with my dad, I felt really bad. I was only several stations away from Chunderville but luckily the 'train' sailed right through and didn't stop. Felt better the rest of the day/night at work. |

...so let that be a lesson to you young'uns who believe in the glorification and glamourisation of alcohol . It ain't always pretty. Even if there are interesting colours in one's puke depending on what one has drunk that night.[THIS IS A PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT ]

Actually, the chunder can be quite a learning experience. About four years ago I was at a party at my niece's house and overconsumed considerably. The next morning I discovered several bits of celery in the mess I had made on the floor next to my bed. That led me to the conclusion that at some point in the evening I must have eaten at least one of the spring rolls I'd helped my niece make, even though I couldn't recall eating any. That was also the night I learned that "liquid cocaine" - a mix of vodka, champagne and Red Bull - is a lethal combination. |

I went to a wedding on Tuesday and felt very seedy on Wednesday after bucket loads of champagne. Haven't felt that way in ages but I thoroughly enjoyed myself and now I'm back to normality. |
