Long weekend

Hey all!
Haven't posted in ages coz I couldn't be bothered (happens I guess), but there are details to fill in...
Sooo... as you no doubt know, it was the easter long weekend last weekend (hmm, I said weekend too much in that sentence), so of course I had to go out.
Thursday:
Jon called me and invited me over to his place for beer and a bbq, coz Boggle was already over. I wasn't doin nuttin, so I said I'd go pick up my wages and head over.
Picking up my wages took a god damn long time. Pete and I headed over to Safe Installations (Botany) to pick them up, and also grabbed food when we got there. All this took the time to about 4pm, as Pete was not willing to drive me to Jon's, and noone was heading near the train station any time soon, I had to leave the office when Mum did. Then we went for dinner (I wasn't even hungry). Sorry. This level of detail is decidedly dull...
Anyway, I ended up getting to Jon's at about 8pm maybe? I brought a case of Old, and it turns out that Brendan and Leanne had come over too, and shortly after I arrived Tristan did too.
So we drank a decent amount and just buggered around.
I sabotaged one of Boggle's SMS's and he got a little pissed (although not seriously).
Friday:
Next morn we were all hungover, and Boggle spewed. Loverly. He hasn't spewed in ages. I like the word spew. Brendan and Leanne left early, but the rest of us stayed back.
Mike S had invited me to his place as he had just built his new (fucken hot) PC, and had borrowed Neil's XBox 360. Being hungover, the inspiration to go anywhere was minimal, even if his house is only around the corner (although not really walking distance). I contacted him and we ended up agreeing to meet at Subway for lunch. Michael KP was with him. Groovy, hadn't seen either of them for a while.
Met up, had lunch, headed over to his place (Boggle and Jon went back to Jon's). Turns out Neil took his XBox back, but that didn't matter as his PC was all the awesome I could handle. Boggle turned up a little later, but also left shortly.
Ross came over (also groovy, as I hadn't seen him for ages), and we busted out Michael's funky Keyboard and laid some tracks. Well, Ross and Mike did, I was buggered and not in an energetic mood, so I sat and read. We also talked some, but I ended up going to bed before the others (still about 2am), as I was too buggered.
Saturday:
One of Jon's mates was playing at the Metro tonight, so we were gonna go in and see 'em play. Jon said doors opened at 7pm, so we decided to have a few beers before heading into the Metro at about 7:30pm.
So it was Jon, Tristan and I (noone else could be bothered). We ended up getting carried away with the beers, and not getting to the Metro until 7:45pm. Turns out Jon's mates band started at 7pm, and finished at 7:30pm. Woops.
So we went and got more beers.
I'd also arranged to meet Sophie in the city, so I gave her a call, and we were to meet up (she was at the Cross). She wasn't enjoying the Cross, so she decided to come and meet up with me (and co.). She'd been at the races all day.
We met up when I was at that Irish pub on King St.
Anyway, we got along very well (as previously), and we ended up hooking up. Yay! So yeah, we're now totally going out... does wording it like that cheapen it? I don't reckon it does. So yeah, I'm pretty stoked. I fancied her back when we first met (like 2nd or 3rd year Uni), so it's weird to have that come to fruition... good though. Very good. I made her a compilation CD today, and it turns out that she has made me 2. Tops. Unfortunately, she lives in Taree, so I really need to get my license. Luckily she comes down to Sydney most weekends, and today she landed a new job that gives her a 4-day working week. Excellent.
So that's probably the biggest news I've had for sometime. Yeah, pretty stoked.
Sunday:
Had to head up to the Hunter house to spend Easter with the family.
So I met up with Pete, and we headed up there. We were going to have lunch at the "Swill n Grill" in Cessnock (a fucking brilliant restaurant in the Australia Hotel). Because of how late we were we ended up meeting the family there.
The lunch was very disappointing. The food there is usually fucking brilliantly amazing, but the steak I ordered was shit. Very shit. More fat than taste. I left most of it. A shame because the sauce and the prawns were brilliant. We let them know. They let their suppliers know. And I'm getting the chicken next time.
Nothing much else really happened.
Monday:
Market day! But there wasn't any CD stalls at the market this time. Sucks. But there was a guy selling machine gun bullets that I could easily turn in to a bullet belt. I asked him about how much it was for enough bullets for a belt. He told me that the bullets are $3 each (WTF?), and that someone had recently bought enough for a belt @ $250 "but I threw in the tin!" Yeah right matey, fuck off. I asked my uncle how much he could get de-commisioned bullets for, and he reckoned about $10-$15 per 100. That's better. But with him, I have to find the clips to join the together. Tricky, but I doubt they'll cost me $235...
Peter bought some mining belt buckles (he's been keen to get a new buckle for his belt, so much so that he borrowed my dead fish buckle for the wekeend - leaving me with my NES controller buckle... I wonder if Sophie was as impressed as Boggle was when he first saw it...). He settled on a "State of the Arc-welding" buckle and a "whatever mine supports the westpac rescue chopper."
Yeah.
My passkey2 for my Nintendo DS arrived (so did my Tony Hawk game!), so I can now run Homebrew apps on my DS (as well as pirated material... shhh). Stoked. I have a movie player, mp3/ogg player (unneeded with my H340, but cool anyway), and various other groovy apps. I will soon be able to use the DS as a remote for my PC (controlling winamp from around the house - Couple this with the wireless music bridge I want to purchase, and I'll have a mad music system at my fingertips). So yeah. The DS Rocks, I don't care what you think Mike, it PWNS the PSP!!
But of course, it isn't nearly as groovy as the DS Lite...
So yeah. That was my weekend.
I went over to Brendan's on Tue night, and we watched movies and drank. His parents will be away for a little longer, so I'll probably be around again.
Unfortunately, Mum has booked all the kids in for a big cleaning session up at the Hunter this weekend, so I won't be social. Luckily enough, Sophie is in Canberra that weekend anyway, so I don't have to feel bad about not seeing her. I'll try and see her on Monday though...
Ok, so that's it now.
Hope life rocks for you!
