Kick backs.

For the fourth time this week, I've tried to take a shower before heading out (as is my habit), and someone's either already in the shower, or runs into the shower when I step into my room to get clothes/take a piss. Hence, I've been late for work, or in today's case, losing valuable daylight hours for shooting.

Considering that the plumbing is so shot that whenever someone turns on the hot water elsewhere in the house, you almost immediately get a cold shower, it's a wonder I even bathe as regularly as I do. (Approximately thrice every two days, if anyone's asking)

If this isn't evidence that it is better to live alone, don't know what is.

Toss in the fact that my internet is slow (1200kps is nothing when you have up to four computers running at the same time, and my sister is invariably downloading/streaming). Add in the fact that I can't even get a beer because of health problems. And you'd have a rough idea of how pissed I am right now.

I've just wasted an entire Saturday. Thank you, family.

Birds of a feather.

And I thought segregation was just for us humans!

Seriously, if this picture is not lolcats worthy, I don't know what is!

The World Isn't Fair.

Next week, the first Apple Retail store in Australia opens in Sydney. It's. So. Far. Away.

Meanwhile, Chris is stuck in an Apple-less corner of the world, and has to deal with re-sellers and third-party tech support and repair. Why Steve? Why?! Do you hate me that much?

Autumn/Winter

I love this time of year. It's romantically melancholic.

A walk along the beach.

Just a few pictures I took last Saturday when I went prowling around with my camera. Yeah, I know they need work. I'm rather rusty with all of this. Oh well. Practice makes perfect, eh?

I must say that there's a certain awkwardness I get when I try to take photographs. I guess maybe I'm just self-conscious about it. I mean, there are all these... people around! I do like taking people though! Particularly candid shots of people in action. I'll need to work on my self-consciousness, otherwise I'll never be able to get those shots that I really want.

Pictures below were all taken at Point Walter. I've got a couple more, which I'll upload in a couple of days. In the interim, enjoy!


River side.


Family.


Casual intimacy.

Lifetime supply of beer

Only in Europe (and maybe Australia), and only in football. Damn. I want to be an Austrian centre forward now.

VIENNA, June 10 (Reuters) - A Vienna brewery is promising a lifelong supply of free beer to any Austria player who scores a goal for the co-hosts in their remaining Euro 2008 group matches against Poland and Germany.

Need I say more? I should be so lucky. :p

Hungry. Irritation. Rar.

(Why yes, I do believe I AM complaining!)

So since I've got no one to have dinner with after mass, I pop down to Taurus to have wonton mee, and find that I've got no cash on me because I've forgotten to visit the ATM.

Drive to the closest ATM, which is conveniently out of order.

Decide to go home to cook up mushrooms and eat some chicken I've got marinading. Sister's beaten me to it. My mushrooms and chicken are gone. (And she's gone out too, otherwise I would raise hell at her)

And someone's eaten the chicken burger I had in the fridge. Someone owes me $6.35.

Miso soup and tofu are options, but they're not very filling, and I am very hungry. Decide to cook instant noodles because they're faster.

Discover that I've got nothing to go with the noodles, so it's just plain indomee. How exciting.

Eat my one packet of indomee. Still hungry. There is no food in the house!

Discover that FoxTel does NOT screen live Euro matches. What's the fucking point of having cable if you can't bloody watch football?

Guess I'll just go to bed.
