Yar!

edited February 2008 in General
I'm back.

Finally my internet exile is over. On the plus side, I'm going to have a crapload of comics to catch up on and won't be bitching about lack of updates any time soon.

Got to say that I've missed this place to an absurd degree. It is good to be back. If I wasn't so manly I'm sure I would shed a single tear. Possibly even two.

I guess I should give a quick catch-up: Spent a crapload of time unemployed. Then got a job working at the local farmers market in the dairy section. Yes, I was the scary bearded cheese-stacker. In fact the beard has been considerably wilder for quite some time now (although it isn't as long as it was. I had to trim it back when it hit chest, it was too itchy). Mainly due to the fact that I figured out early that the more likely it looked like I would bite, the less likely the retarded general public would ask me questions. But don't worry folks, there is a good end to this tale of mindless yoghurt based drudgery! (other than all the flavoured milk that I was stealing because it was 'broken'). I then got a job for the local free newspaper: The Bunbury Mail. Then subsequently got fired from the Farmers Market for only being able to work 2 days a week. Making me the third person to ever be fired from there, the others being a crack-addict and a forklift driver that turned up to do work left over from the day before at 2am, pissed out of his skull. He managed to trash about $1,000 worth of goods according to those in the know.

However the Bunbury Mail is all that is awesome in the world to me. I work in the production department making ads (yup, I sold out but I negotiated it damn well). The only downside is that I usually only work 2 days a week, which covers all my costs (and trips to the pub), but doesn't leave much for the extra things in life. Like monkeys or as many DVDs and X-box games as I would like to buy.

On the plus side for you guys, I'll be going from never here to around 5 days a week plus nights annoying the hell out of you.

Look forward to that!

As for the Crapshack: I'm glad to say that I moved out about six weeks ago, into a place that's on par for crappiness but has no backpackers and I've managed to get an even bigger room.

Oh yeah, I got X-box 360 as well. That was my first two paychecks at the Farmers Market pretty much. Currently in the midst of painting it up like I did for my old one.

Questions? Comments? What's been going on with you rabble? I've missed out on a lot.

    Sleeping bags are currently empty. And in need of a wash.

    Still summer over here and my new place is a heat-trap.

    The next place I move to is going to have air conditioning. Or be a renovated walk-in refridgerator.

    EDIT: SCIENCE MOVIES YES! I have been expanding my collection a bit the past few months.

    The first thing I thought of when I saw the title of this thread was, "Yar! I be havin' a southern accent! Arr!"

    Darn tootin'.

    And sorry Tak, no progress on the Intercontinental nut-kick missile.

    I am too lazy. And people have a tendency to keep rocket propellant away from me. The bastards.

    Wow, I leave for less than a week and people practically come back from the dead! Well, I guess I should take more trips if this is what comes of it.
  • edited February 2008
    It'll probably flip completely, and the place will die.
