Too many energy drinks


Was on my brothers podcast tonight, we tried a bunch of energy drinks, I hate the sound of my own voice, but it might not be as harsh for other people. I reckon I sound a bit dopey. Give it a listen.


Hopefully do that again sometime, maybe I should do a podcast, need some people to do it with. I doubt any of my friends would be keen, but I should give it a try, Need to get my SM58 back, doubt it will record as good sound quality as Stephen's stereo recording thing, that records a good podcast.

Well this is a short blog post, Holland vs Slovakia is about to start and I'll struggle to write when that starts, Well if anyone actually reads this please comment and give the podcast a try, I haven't really told anyone about this blog, probably not worth doing so until it gets good.

Soccer Sunday

urghhhhhhh
feeling pretty nailed atm, its 2:45pm on a sunday afternoon, Tegan is fast asleep on the couch and so is puppy on the floor.

Played a game of soccer this morning on the old Prendiville oval with Mark, Russel, Picton, Damien, Adrien, Teresa, her boyfriend, Terrorist Phil and Chris, who I think works in my building.

Tegan, Kerry and Levana sat on the sidelines with puppy. It was a pretty good game, I was surprised how well some of us played considering most of us haven't played for many a year. Got pretty sore legs afterwards.

Defeated a Family Box #2 last night with Jimmy while we watched world cup, that was awesome, Mcdonalds mindarie was packed at 9pm, drive through line out to the road, fat lazy bums, We walked in and it was basically empty.

Super Mario Galaxy 2 0n thursday, gonna be sweet. SHould be able to complete that by 27th of July, then its Starcraft 2 time, oh baby.

Puppy Sasha

Was only little

Starcraft 2 preorder from JB HiFi

Best Deal i've found so far
$89

Can't wait for this, See how Korea got pwned up good against Portugal a few days ago?It was most like due to a lack of sleep cos they were preparing for this game.
Football players and other sportsmen are geeks and losers in Korea anyway,
pro gamers get the babes. Its all about the micro!

Conroy might get sacked

pretty happy about this people!

*UPDATE*
Damm, he kept his job

23/06/2010

Well the biggest news for me today is that it looks like froyo ain't coming out today for the HTC desire, oh well, thats what you get when you base everything on xda posts. No big deal, It has been confirmed so Its just a matter of time.

Had first day of the week back in the labs, did some fine processing, stank the place up good. Days in the field make the week go quicker, I think its just a case of variation makes your week go quicker.

This is all boring crap I think anyway, its boring for me to talk about what I've done. Right now its 9pm and theres two good world cup matches coming up, The first is England vs Slovenia, I don't mind watching the poms because at least I know most of their players. And of course there is the Australia vs Serbia game at 2:30am, which will be Australias last game of the tournament unless they can pull something out of their asses, which is highly unlikely. Been getting into this World Cup a little bit, it will die off again afterwards, just like it did 4 years ago. This is due to the problem of soccer being just to dam gay for me. I can't get past the diving, its so shameful how many players do it. I know its accepted as part of the game, but damm, I'm used to AFL where being a pussy is frowned upon.

Speaking of footy, should be right to play again this weekend, wirst is still sore but getting better, had a bad run this year with injuries. Had an ankle, eye and now wrist injury. Our teams been sucking ass so I can get a game quite easily.

Seems there will be no shark bay trip this year, pity. It was the best field trip I did last year, good fun to get away, what I work on is mainly Perth based so its cool to get to travel around. I've got enough stuff to work on anyway.

In gaming news it won't be long till July, which brings with it two of the biggest releases of the year. The first is Super Mario Galaxy 2, a proper game for the Wii, which are few and far between nowadays, every company is jumping on the casual gaming scene bandwagon, which are total fail to me. Galaxy 1 was awesome and the 2nd is supposedly even better. At least nintendo still kickass with zelda and mario games, PROPER mario games, not those stupid spinoffs of which they produce 10 a year. The other is of course, Starcraft 2, oh baby, this is the big one, its got a huge amount of hype about it, however I am expecting it to totally kick, ass... The money that blizzard has made from WoW means they have no reason to cheapskate on this franchise. Still to decide on the best place to buy it from, probably end up getting it from a store rather than online because I doubt the saving will be any good.

A new blog

Ok on this blog I will discuss the following rubbish I can think of

- Whats been happening today or recently
- Tech news
- Sports news

So anyway, I cant seem to produce an eloquent manner to begin this blog, maybe it becuase Im chatting to brother about mp3 downloaders for android, you see I have a HTC Desire, which is an android powered smartphone. Currently the best phone officially released in Australia, and one of the best phones in the world mind you.

One of the best things about android is the lack of regulations on what programs and modifications you can do to the phone. What I have been discussing with my brother is a classic example. Most ppl have seen the iPhone app called "Shazam", basically it I.D.s a track playing on your radio or wherever. On the iPhone you would have to buy that song if u wanted it. On Android, someone made an app that basically lets u DL that song for free. Simple stuff like that is really cool once you start using it.

Well enough for now about phones, maybe I should reflect on what happened today. It probably doesn't make any sense what I talk about because I'm not prepared to explain in full detail what I do for a job. This part is mainly for me to come back to later. Well, today, and yesterday, I have been out of the water which is nice, the days are fairly long but thats ok cos its all covered, and truth be told most of the time is spent travelling or waiting. Throughout the time I'm on the boat, say 8 hours, I get a break of ca 20 mins each hour. and do you know what happens in this 20mins, I tend to pretty much fall asleep. It makes the whole day seem very surreal to me, becuase you constantly falling asleep and waking up again, your never truly asleep, but your never truly awake either. Its a unique but cool feeling. and it makes 12hrs seem like 2hrs.

Well this will do for my first blog
I hope I get into writing these
