Upright citizen

Sorry that I haven't been regularly updating this sucker... I guess I'm losing interest. I'll try harder in future, I promise.
The weekend.
Friday afternoon was time for the regular work drinks at Sweeny's, only this time Boggle, Tristan and Ross came along. I got drunk.
Like really drunk. Embarrassingly so. I didn't drink that much, like only 5 pints and a scotch maybe... maybe even 4 pints... but I was wrecked. I guess it was because I hadn't eaten that much... but I didn't eat that little either... so yeah. I got drunk. I ended up staying till 11:30pm maybe, and then had to go home... I was just too drunk to hang around.
We had plans on only having a few drinks (as Ross and Tristan had things to do Saturday morning), and Boggle and I were going to head back to Ryde Eastwood Leagues for cheap drinks (I was tight that week...) and to watch that crazy Asian lady dance... needless to say, that didn't happen. So I feel a little bad about that coz we were going to meet Jon there too... so Jon ended up not going out... sorry man.
So I got home at about 12:30am maybe, talked with Jon for a bit, and went to sleep. Delicious sleep. The next day I was to meet up with Mum and Pete for a day of activity (including looking at cars for Mum). It was nice, and I ended up staying for dinner with Mum too, as Leanne was near enough to pick me up from there (she'd spent the day down south with Jill)... but we had to go back to Jon's first as I didn't have shoes or pants... that sounds bad... I thought I'd get into the summer vibe and wear shorts and thongs. The only shorts I had were board shorts, and my thongs broke when I was out that day (not even a year old!). So that sucked. So we went back to Jon's, and we ended up putting on the Underworld Live DVD, and getting our funk on. By the time we'd done all that, the party at West Ryde had already near enough to died, so we just stayed at Jon's... sorry guys. Wow, so many apologies this post.
So I need to get me some new thongs... or do I? I do have a spare pair up at the Hunter... and it won't be long until I no longer have the Hunter... so maybe I'll just use them. Or maybe I won't. Who knows. What a wild and unpredictable world we live in.
Sunday was most definately a beach day. Leanne, Jon and I headed up to Pennant Hills for breakfast. Mmmm... not healthy breakfasts.
Jon didn't want to go to the beach, so Leanne and I headed over to West Ryde to pick up Brendan and Boggle. We decided to go to North Avoca. A trip to the beach was just what the weekend needed. It was awesome. I love summer... don't get me wrong, I love winter too... but
summer is kickass. And so is the beach.
In true beah tradition, we decided to go get some burgers/fish n chips. Man. Big fuggen burgers, $8 big to be precise. I woudl have been happier with BBQ sauce, but they were still good burgers. Nice soft buns (ooooh sexual), runny egg (awesome), tasty patty... anyway, I'm sure you get the picture... they were good. And for no real reason, they came wrapped in aluminium foil, which was a whole new level of burger fun.
I didn't really get burnt, except for the passenger arm.. ah, good ole passenger arm. A testament to my loser-ness.
And both Monday and Tuesday I worked.
Did I tell you that I'm growing a moustache for movember? I started late (the 9th), but Ben, Josh, Zach and I are keen to do it. There was a guy up on level 20 that's doing it, and he inspired us. We didn't set up a donation account (which defeats the purpose of doing it), so I was going to post the link to the level 20 guy to rally support... but I don't know his link. Maybe I'll post it tomorrow.
This weekend is the TZU and Porkers concerts... unfortunately it's also the High School reunion and the Propellerheads concerts too... I've already made my decision though; two nights at the Annandale Hotel. TZU and the Porkers it shall be. And it shall be awesome too. Stoked. I love live music.
And, with that, I shall leave you.
Have fun people.
