Metaphysik is an addictive game. Curse you, Hix, and curse me for following that link when I know that I am so weak-willed...
No tea means no biscuits, which is probably good for me - but not as many breaks, which isn't. I'm trying to drink the same amount of liquid, since that's important if I don't want my arms to fall off from OOS.

Listening to Mutha Funkin Earth by House of Downtown... I never know how to describe music nowdays, but SmokeCDs seems to be calling them "funky dance", which is as fair as anything, I guess. SmokeCDs also has some handy samples, so you can see what they sound like.
I haven't bought any music in months - pretty much since before I went overseas, I think. I've got a bunch of recommendations from SmokeCDs sitting in my Inbox, but haven't looked at them yet. One day, when I have some spare time, I'll have to go through them and make a wish-list - though obviously, I'm going to have to be a little restrained.
On a related note - picked up a World Cinema Showcase booklet, which was probably a mistake. Unlike previous years, I was planning on a drastically reduced viewing schedule for the main Film Festival, and yet there are about 19-20 films that I'd really like to see just in the Showcase - and I'm not even a Film Society member any more. :( Four Studio Ghibli films! Three Blues documentaries! Hotel Rwanda! Argh. No, quite apart from the money it would cost to go ($13/film!), there's the money that I'd lose if I went during the day. I'll just have to hunt around work - I know there are some Ghibli fans, I might be able to scare up copies of what's showing. It's not quite the same as going to the movies, but it'll do. Yeah, yeah, boo-hoo, poor me. :)

I get a phone tomorrow. I hope. There's currently a storm of dislike and indignation about Telstra/Clear, with plenty of people waxing eloquent on horror stories they've experienced. This did lead to one funny exchange:
thats nothing. this woman had problems with telstra-satan, they
disconnected her phone and came around in the night and killed all her kids.
Oh come on,
do you really expect us to believe that Telstra do night callouts?
It's a pity they're the only alternative to Telecom.

I really need to get on top of the "advertising for flatmates" thing. And get an accountant. I really don't know where all my momentum has gone. Maybe I'll get more done tomorrow.
Posted by svend at March 2, 2005 10:27 AMYeah, I was up to level 41 of Metaphysik before I knew what I was doing. But it was Hapland that had me staring at the screen for an hour and a half, retriggering my OOS.
... Still, I didn't finish Metaphysik. Maybe I should go and ... no, no, damnyouuuuuuuuuuuu!

Jenni hasn't seen the brochure. Jenni is Curious.
Posted by: Jenni at March 3, 2005 3:03 PMmy workmate had to wait 3 weeks to get phone connected w t/clear (despite them approaching her on the street to join when they saw her moving into her new place, and then never calling her back so she had to chase them up. and it took my boss 8 mths to stop getting bills and correspondence from them. and when we swapped from telecom to t/clear 3 years ago, they screwed that up real good. grrr. we're swapping back to telecom now, but just cos we need it to get slingshot jetbuster
