Guitar Hero Just Doesn't Cut It

It's hard to be proud of my/our Guitar Hero skillz when this is going on outside.
But that happens, I guess.
Brazillian BBQs rock.

There is something so majestic about a beach at sunset.

Lilly's parents were meant to come up today, but her brother had to go into hospital with appendicitis, so they cancelled the trip. I had taken the day off to greet her parents, so Lilly decided that we should use this opportunity to head north to Noosa.
It's so lovely here.

Tonight is awesome.
Three cheers for Dan and Lulu.
Lilly and I are going to Mexico next year. You should come with us.

Man. I am fucking bored of work. Fucking bored. It's neither challenging nor interesting to make maps, and I just can't give a shit about it.
Fuck this, I need a new job.
I was bored after being at work for 40 minutes today. Not good.

New Headphones
Originally uploaded by JadeMonkee.
Finally bought some new headphones today. They're "ear canal" style, which roughly means "uncomfortable". These suckers will take some getting used to. I had a pair of Sony "in-ear isolating" headphones (much the same concept), but they didn't go so deep within my ears.
I first listened to Wiggle's Fabric CD (which I've been listening to a lot lately), and wasn't overwhelmed. I played around with the various tips, and settled on the largest silicon ones (tips, not tits, you perv). I then switched to Mastodon's _Blood Mountain_, and was very unimpressed. I swapped tips again (to the foam type now), and played with the EQ a bit.
Still sounded not that great.
So I swapped back to the silicon tips, and changed to Massive Attack's _Protection_. A quick adjustment of the EQ, and I'm wafting on the most beautiful sound waves.
I'll go back to Mastodon soon, to see if I just didn't achieve a good fit. I'm fairly confident that's the case. Either that or I need a larger capacity jukebox so I can rip my music at something higher than ogg q4.
Oh, and not all is great; the plug for the new headphones doesn't fit in the LCD remote for my iriver. Sucks. I loved that remote.
Looks like there is now very little stopping me from getting a large capacity ipod and Rockbox-ing it.
I will miss you, LCD remote!

Metal Detectors
Originally uploaded by JadeMonkee.
Lilly's Uncle Pete and his friend, Margie, are metal detector enthusiasts. They make a decent amount from it (not an income, but a nice amount). Here they are doing there thing. Lilly and I were sitting in a tree while this was going on. I like trees.
