Can't Wipe The Smile Off His Face

After spending the past weekend using a 350D I was somewhat looking forward to using my D60 again. It's not that the 350D I used was bad, it just wasn't the best shaped body to hold for hours on end.

Having been busy with classes and work over the past few weeks, I haven't really had the chance to go out and take some photos, so it was nice to take some photos over the weekend, however it was even better to use the D60 again. What better excuse, than the arrival of a new toy.

Two ago days I come home, pull out my fake iPod ear buds and hear my mum calling out, "RICHARD!...the car's coming tomorrow." I don't know, everytime my mum calls something out, it's like she's annoyed about it - Asian parents. But that's besides the point, what matters is that the Kluger was coming...the big black Kluger! Okay, that didn't come out right...

The thing is huuuuuuuuuge and actually has some power, unlike the Rav4. I love the new car smell. I think I might just go out to the garage and sit in it for an hour.

Chad Wants You

Chadian 01

After just spending several hours attending a family friend's dinner, and then moving on to sit through a very long and boring conversation at another family friend's house, I come home to a link given to me by a SeoHyun fanboy. It's because of this link I unearthed an amazing fact...that I have a country.

Feel free to read about my fantastic country here. If you're confused right now, Chad is one of my nicknames :]

There's A Needle In My Foot - The Adventures of the Green Jeans

Luna 01

My black jeans are missing in action; not really, they’ve just been hanging on the clothes line for a few days because of Melbourne’s random weather and my laziness. This meant I had no choice but to wear the green jeans today. Any day I wear my green jeans outside has to be a day that I do something semi blog worthy, and so, after checking my work shifts for this week I stayed on the 623 bus from Chadstone and didn’t bother getting off until I got to Luna Park.

It was interesting to see how St Kilda had changed since the days I used to wonder the streets as a primary school kid. Well, it hasn’t changed that much, maybe for my next solo adventure I’ll take a tram up Carlisle Street – maybe.

And The Adventures Of The Green Jeans Continue

Adventure 01

So today the random and crazy people that make up Improv Everything Melbourne decided it would be most fitting to have a mass pillow fight...in the middle of Federation Square.

At exactly 1pm, on the stage into of the giant television in Fed Square, someone blew an air born which was when pretty everyone hanging around pulled out a pillow and just started hitting each other over and over.

After about half an hour that was the end of the pillow fighting but the Improv Everything group had other plans, and my camera’s SD card was full so I just went home...yay fun. Would have been interesting to see how their Melbourne Central thing played out, apparently they were going to start singing from each one of the levels in Melbourne Central around the clock.

Beat that girl so she's no longer a social outcast!

Let The Adventures Of The Green Jeans Begin

"What do you think he sees in her?"
"She's smart... funny... attractive..."
"Attractive?"
"Well you know... she has nice... skin."
"So you think he is going out with her because she has nice skin?"
"I'm just saying it could be a contributing factor."
"Hermione has nice skin. You know, as far as skin goes." etc.

If you haven't guessed it, that was an extract from a conversation between Harry and Ron in the latest instalment of the Harry Potter movie adaptation series, which to be honest, was quite amusing having watched it for the second time. Apologises to any Harry Potter fans, but don’t you think that maybe, perhaps, just a little, they were trying a tad too hard this time around? I’d have to agree with my friend that it was a little too serious, even if they were going for the more mature feel.

Green Jeans 02

In other news, I have exchanged sheets of plastic rectangles for a pair of green skinny jeans. I’ll find out soon enough if they were an absolutely horrible choice or if they’re simply just meh.

And that’s the news.

"It Combines Jogging And Photography."

photo jog 01

For some the second semester of TAFE started this week, as for the others this will be the last week of holidays for them before they drag themselves through another semester of university – suffer. I on the other hand have another week to sleep until 4pm and aimlessly surf the internets.

As I’m still unemployed and without a car, it can be a little troublesome making the journey all the way over to the east side of Melbourne to meet up with friends – not that I get invited over regularly. So...lately I’ve decided to take my camera with me whenever I go for a run. Yes, it was inspired by Yes Man...shush up.

You can view the rest of the photos I edited from today on my flickr page.

Now if you’ll excuse me, my secondary LCD screen seems to want me to pull out its power cord with all the whinging it is doing.

The Day I Died And Came Back As A Mindless Retard

Death

This morning nearly I burned the kitchen down. Don't leave food cooking in the oven for too long mmkay?

The sound of the phone ringing is still echoing in my head. Telemarketers, sod off. If you won't play a game with me, don't bother calling. Let me sleep in next time.

Went to Highpoint in search of a cross over cable and a audio extension cable. Dick Smith wanted 10 times the amount of MSY and Jaycar. They can get lost. JB...were just hopeless.

Went to ALDI after. They didn't have corn chips. They really should start stocking corn chips. Cashier gave me extra change, but I didn't realise until I got home. Now I got free lunch and an extra $10.

How'd the above cause my brain to explode? They didn't. The internets did.
