Yep; reading old posts here, seriously vom-worthy. FFS, it's been what? Fifteen years since I opened this account? I'm reading things on here that I now shake my head at; pedestal-y, Nice Guy yucky yucky yech. On the other hand, I do feel better about where I am mentally by comparison. Nothing like a 10-15 year retrospective to represent one's own ( Read more... )

I was going over reproductive anatomy and physiology today during a Physiology prac, completely hung over from my very first Wednesday night at the Crow Bar (which just happened to be the last one for the year; my sense of timing). As part of the prac, they had an extensive (if dated) collection of contraceptives across a side bench: OCs, condoms, ( Read more... )

This does not mean I lack for things to offer; rather, my rarity guarantees a certain kind of relationship and a certain kind of personality, and once I run into somebody who best matches it, I'll ( Read more... )

I'm just sitting down to a nice midmorning appetiser with a slice of white mud cake that supposedly is best before '30 Feb'. As we shall never reach the 30th of February, I am forced to conclude that if I did not eat this cake, it would last forever ( Read more... )

Eminence Symphony's back in Melbourne come April, so who wants to come along? Presale A reserve tickets are going for $60 on concession, but I'm willing to settle for any seating, as long as people come with me!

(For those not in the know, Eminence are a Sydney-based orchestra who specialise in game- and anime-related pieces. Here's a weblink: ( Read more... )

It seems to me that most of those who'd call themselves a 'music lover' tend to be snotty about their chosen adoration. The metalheads disgust the house-lovers, who in turn are looked down upon by the indie fans, who the RnB people just can't understand. Somewhere at the bottom of all that, lying underneath broken bottle shards are the emo fans, ( Read more... )

I escaped from the Dungeon of Adolon!

I killed Festa501 the rat, Xaraknight the goblin, Adokun the rat and Shakaiyo the floating eye.

I looted the Shield of Dvds, the Amulet of Melzes, a Figurine of Kikilon, the Dagger of Raff, the Sword of Anime, the Amulet of Books, the Axe of Pc Games and 27 gold pieces.

Score: 127
Explore the Dungeon of Adolon and ( Read more... )

Would anyone be interested in going to Eminence Symphony Orchestra's 'A Night in Fantasia 2006' with me? They play music from the Final Fantasy games and Studio Ghibli films, and they're here in Melbourne on the 2nd of July ( Read more... )
