Like a scrotum

Well I missed my usual friday post because of work and not being botheredness. Speaking of I dont have much time either before work. Well thursday night was another sober one for me. Was quite fun once I got into the mood, but for some reason I didnt know many guys there at all. Kinda felt a bit queer since I was the only guy there. Hmm come to think of it, nothing all that exciting happened really.

Here it is in a nuttshell.
Darren was plastered. Sayers was pissing off emily well and truly by trying to pick up everybody again. Some chick kept staring at me all night, it kinda freaked me out. Managed to get meagan to come out, and stay quite late. Some dude got thrown out and become quite violent outside and got taken away in handcuffs. There really wasn't any dance offs either. Except for a dosey-do like like thing at the end that i started with sayers and emily.

Living, breathing rock 'n' roll...

I've been thinking a bit the past few days. Yes that is usually why I post something here, so I probably didn't need to even say that.

The floating disembodied head of Colonel Sanders....



So an hour an a half later, I'm back to what I was going to say. I'm not sure how many of you have taken notice recently, but I have been doing quite well at getting myself back on my feet. Thowing out my old philosophy: 'Live each day like its your second last.' I've been thinking of changing it to live each 5 years as if they are your last or something like that. Because I've been really trying to grow up recently. Maybe I was right all along... maybe I should be having more fun.

I suppose this whole thing stems from green week. Everybody has heard about green week by now so I need not say more. But I participated in the drunkening on only one day and it was the most fun i've had in ages. Albeit I have had fun going out to flannies and davies sober recently, being stupidly drunk was so much fun. In the end I sobered up enough to not sleep with a friend from uni. Stupidly I had planned on finding out where I was staying sometimes during the day. But drinking the better part of a slab made me forget to find out. And when somebody welcomed me to stay there I was very happy to. Though in the end nothing happened because the sober me wouldn't have done anything, so I pretended to sleep (the best I could at the time). Though there was some awkwardness in the morning though not too bad. Because I mean she is nice. I remember thinking I'd kiss you if I wasn't at your house just because thats as far as I woulda went. Ok now everybody who is reading this is thinking I'm a tool. Half think this because I turned down free sex and the other half because I considered it in the first place. This night is possibly the origin of my problem. I was doing well hanging around in the library during the day, driving to the pubs and looking for a girl to settle down with and watch movies on the couch. Though sitting around drinking and playing cards during the day and going out getting smashed and dancing the night away and sleeping with an asortment of people is also becoming an enticing option.

And that's when I met you

YEAH!

It's been an interesting week. Back at uni, waking up at a respectable time. My timetable is actually quite good though. No really long days. And so far my classes have been interesting so that'll keep me awake too. There has been an area of my thoughts in the past few weeks which I have endeavoured to keep out of my blog, appart from the subtle things between the lines as per usual. But I just want to say that I have been feeling quite happy with myself and actually smiling a whole lot more than usual. Hopefully one day I'll elaborate on this, though I'm sure most of you know by now since word travels faster around here than an ethiopean with a cheeseburger. :P

Perhaps in a fortnight I'll be able to say something here. Who knows. Here's to hoping.

I've got interesting homework for theoretical (physics) in which we have to estimate the answer to strange questions without actually looking things up. These questions are known as Fermi Questions.

Some examples include:
What frequency of radiation is used in TV transmission?
How long would it take a solar sail powered spaceship to travel to mars?
How long does it take a deceased human body to reach room temperature?
How large a moon can you jump off of?

According to my calculations the largest moon which you could jump off of has a radius of 4.5 kilometers. Any larger than that and the gravity would hold you on, even though very loosely. Perhaps a 5km radius you could jump 3km off of the surface but would eventually sail back to it instead of floating off into space. This is of course based on several assumptions. That the highest I can jump on earth is moving my centre of mass up by about 60cm. That a typical moon is made of similar rocks to what we have here which have a density of about 3 times that of water so 3000kg per cubic metre.

Hmm I'm going to look up to see if anybody real has done this calculation before to see how realistic my guess was? :)


Ok, seems like they havent. Or haven't put it anywhere easy to find from google.

I'm really curious how to estimate the TV one. I gather it's possible based on how much information needs to be transmitted to a tv for the picture to be clear but i'm not entirely sure how much, and how much can be sent by different frequency of radio waves.

On Creativity.

I was reading something which stemmed from a link on Ben's blog about autism that was trying to measure a 'Creativity Quota'. Because creativity is hardly something that can really be measured quantitatively; they had a few little tests they did. One of which was to give the subject an object and the subject had to come up with as many uses. So I give this to you. Start listing the uses of a piece of paper. Although they must be different uses. For instance drawing and sketching are using the paper in the same way.

Now, in other news. Myself, Ben and Scotty stayed up until 6am this morning drinking copious ammounts for a tuesday. I was playing the stupid vb games I made years ago and came accross an alpha version of my who's line game I was making. Ironically enough, despite the scoring system the points didnt matter since a bug just msgboxed us with a '0' then didnt score. After playing that for quite a while, making up very wrong songs, myself and ben progressed onto downloading a heap of rap beats and having rap battles... It was quite possibly the weirdest idea i've ever had.

I need you now tonight

Sick now. It sucks. I have a cold and I really dont want to go to work tonight. It was meant to be my 4-9 shift but adam had his wisdom teeth out on thursday so asked for the weekend off and thus i get the late shift and somebody else is working slightly later. Which means there will be so much more to do than usual and it most likely won't all get done. Because a good few hours have been cut out of the day. Which means more work for me otherwise in the morning it looks like i've done nothing.

Anyways I finally did something I have wanted to do for a while now. Although it wasn't exactly as I had intended, it's as close as it was going to get to done. I'm still not sure if it was a good idea but I will find out soon. More to come on this.

So update. Back to uni on monday. Looks like a promising timetable. I'm going to try hard this semester. I want to try to get my average up to 80 just for my own satisfaction now. It would just be nice to feel like I've done well. I'll need to find out more about honours too. See how to do it because I don't really want to start halfway through the year because I'll be doing it myself then. I need others to sit down and study with otherwise I won't get it done. I've wasted alot of time trying to remember what I wanted to post about and now I better get ready for work.

And I need you more than ever...

Passing time

Well the past few days I've sat and rather than look for something construcive to do with my time, I have been looking for something to occupy the time until something interesting came along. Procrastinating kinda. I had the strangest dream i've ever had last night. Totally weird. To sum it up briefly, there was some kind of concert thing by the looks of it and there was some kind of evil monster chick appeared in the back of the audience... well she was normal then grew vines and started glowing and general evil looking. And then there was some kind of fight which ended up in a stone room thing and I was fighting it, there was of course the obligatory female companion helping :P. I kept attacking it with some sort of earth magic and it didnt seem to be hurting it then I thought hand on she is plant like, so I cast 'Firaga' at it and well then it moved so it was scared of it :P. Then there was a flashback to an ad for coke zero at the concert which was bragging about some magic powers it possessed. And then there was fanta zero which we thought i wonder what this does and it let the chick breath fire and we killed the monster being. Weird fucking dream.

So anywho I just got my results tonight via sms. I got distinctions for everything resulting in a nice neat 75% average which will do. Ok so it's not great. It's a hell of alot better than the 46% average of this time last year, dont know about second semester last year but that was in the 50's or 60's... first year was high 70's possible 80's though. But that was piss easy and I didn't have to try. Anywho... those four subjects well all relative to what I want to study in honours, so if I want to do honours I have above 70 in four 3rd level subjects which are relative to what I want to study which is the requirement for honours. :D

Now there is one more thing I need to do and I might actually be happy for once.
Did anybody notice the double entendre?

It's a wonderful night...

C'mon take it from me..

I just looked up the lyrics of that song to look for something appropriate from it to throw in here (as always)... and accidentally spelt wonderful with two l's... And the search results yeilded jessica simpson's wonderful night instead or something with a similar title. Then when I fixed the spelling it was all fatboy slim. Surprising?

Anyway, as promised here is the status report. Last night wasn't as good as it could have been. But still it was fun. Just didnt have the energy for the most of the night, also it felt like I had more eyes on me than usual for some reason which made me not exactly want to dance like I usually do. I kept getting embarrassed. Though I did have someone come and sit on me and tell me how much better at dancing I was than her (sorta) boyfriend. That was Lennice's friend Emily who is sorta seeing Sayers. That's all I need, to make it look like I can dance. :)

As usual, perhaps even moreso than usual, everybody bailed too early. I drove 3 people to the pub and drove an entirely different 4 home. The good music didnt seem to start until the last hour :S that was gay :(

Cara and Kev are official!! Hooray! The were snuggled up in a booth for ages! Anyways it's been around 20 hours since i've eaten anything so im going to go shower and boil an egg.

And the kids on the street say 'what's your problem, girl?'

Hmm gotta keep things updated.

My car is about to shit itself, gotta get it looked at... Also gotta fix up the shitty wiring. Man I'm too lazy it sucks. Oh well movies at mine tonight. Something nice and quiet and havent really done it for a while. Man I wish I had somebody who I could sit down and watch movies with at night cuddled up on the couch.

Ok no more sappy stuff... I baked a cake today :P Should avoid anything else that makes me look female :S

Monday night was random monday! It was great. We were going to crown to get kfc when all the others ones were closed... But we had a few cans in the car.. and kfc was closed... so me and ben skulled pints at "the pub" at crown. Then we danced, had an arm wrestle and ben nearly picked up a dubiously ages chick... perhaps 26-27? it was funny. Then we went on a quest to find hookers to shout at in st kilda... But for some reason we couldnt find any. :( so I shouted at a bin man instead "Get your tits out!" There was a rather eventful random night and I got home at 5am+ tuesday morning. Hooray for random!

Tomorrow night is flannies night... I think I'll be sober again. Its more fun leaving when I want to and saving money and knowing whats going on so I don't pick up an ugly chick. :S I'll let you know the events of tomorrow night on friday.

Til then...

Your no problem at all.

I wanna dance with somebody

Well I went out again on friday driving... I'm a legend. But still alive. A hero amongst men, and that kind of thing. :) I had the time of my life this weekend. I knew what was going on and it made everything grand. But then everybody else was tired and drunk and broke so I had to leave to take them home. BOO!!

hmm damn thats right working tonight... ok nevermind crap post.
