Apple Jean Toast

I had pancakes for breakfast this morning. They were great. Light, fluffy, not over cooked. Terrific. Very enjoyable. I highly reccommend them for a Sunday morning breakfast. Easy to knock together, quick to clean up. Satisfying.

So, what's been going down? Not a whole lot. That kid was a menace again on Friday. He wasn't coming out with the same shit as before, he just refused to join with the others after a certain point. Whatever. His mum came in to pick him up at the end of the day, and she spoke with his teacher and the director for a while. Then they spent half an hour or so trying to talk to him together. He spent that half hour crouching down in the toilet with his face on the ground. Kind of gross, don't you think?

Anyways.

This isn't chronologically correct, but I'm not too fussed, and I hope that you're not either.

My brother David turned 19 on Thursday night. We went over to my grandmother's place as is the tradition. It was a nice night. David got some very nice shirts, a pair of crocs (from me because he has a disgustingly infected toe, to look at it makes me want to puke), some jeans and other things. My sister burnt him a cd of some "dirty dirty house music". Whatever that means. The roast was great, the cake was nice and we were out of there at a reasonable hour. My sister and brother went out for the night, apparently they had a good time. I received a text message from my sister that she meant to send to Dad saying something about not coming home. She called herself Drin in the text. Wasted.

What else has been going on? On Friday night I had a hamburger. It was a works burger from Sea Food and Eat It on Logan Rd. They make fantastic burgers, but to tell you the truth, I think that I preferred the plain old cheese burger from there. I don't know what the exact difference is between the two, but I just like the plainer one. Hmm.

Saturday morning I came home pretty early. I was bored for a lot of Saturday morning. I read the paper, there was an interesting interview with Courtney Love. I also watched some rage. That's always awesome. This time they had some guest programmers called Black Label Society. They were awesome. Their film clip had motorbikes, hot girls, scary masks, fire and more general awesomeness. It was great. Apparently the singer/guitarist Zakk Wylde has played with Ozzy Osbourne. Apparently Robert Trujillo also used to play in the band, although he wasn't in the lineup that I saw in the film clip. Oh yeah, the song was called Suicide Messiah. That's gold right there.

Another song that I was excited by was Kasabian's Shoot The Runner. I wasn't so sure about the song itself, although it is pretty cool. I was more interested in the film clip. Now, I know that it looks like the iPod campaign, and also a bit like the Queens of the Stone Age's Go With The Flow. Go With The Flow is one of my favourite songs and filmclips. It's great. Watching rage was very enjoyable this week.

Unfortunately that only took up about an hour. So I jumped on the computer and my brother David showed me this thing called Line Rider. It is a great timewaster, so if you're studying, have a bit of self control and don't click on it. If you're not studying, enjoy! Sorry, that's a bit cruel of me, but I've been enjoying it. So it's there.

Again though, this didn't sustain my interest for too long. Only an hour or so. Again I was bored. I actually thought about getting my nipple pierced again. I've been feeling a little out of sorts these last two weeks, and I remember that I was feeling that way when I first got it done. It was a way of regaining some control over the way that things were going. Giving myself a reminder of what I was capable. Or something like that. So, that was a possibility. I also considered going to Laser Force because I haven't been there in a very long time, and I ran into the mother of a guy I went to primary school with. His name is Jared King, and he was working at Laser Force the last time I went there, and apparently he's still working there now. It's a fun place Laser Force, but I don't know if it's fun when you are 24. Oh well.

The final option to come up was that Stuart was going to take David out for a steak for his birthday. I thought that that sounded good so I agreed to go. Then David decided that he didn't want to go. So he didn't. But Stuart and I did, with Felix and Dean. Only we didn't have a steak. We had Vietnamese. Which was good. Then we watched the movie The Departed. There was a lot of swearing. And violence. Not a bad flick, although it was cold in the cinema because we'd all be drenched in the torrential downpour trying to get there.

After the movie finished I was made aware of how hard it can be to do easy things sometimes, and how travelling in a group is always so much slower than a solo mission.

Eventually I made it to Ria's place and we had something to eat and then watched The Fan. That's what's been happening.

Actually, I also bought some macadamia, mango and vanilla ice cream this morning to have on the pancakes, which was fantastic. But that's it.

I feel like I've used a lot of italics and links in this post. I don't know how I feel about that. I'm not sure if I like it all that much.
