so i woke up at 12:39pm today (sunday). you know when you're sleeping and then you wake up? that's what happened. i can't believe how late i slept. what a wanker. i walked upstairs, jord was playing splinter cell. i prepared too much mi goreng (2 packets) and too much milo milk (a huge transformers collectable cinema cup) and sauntered into the lounge room to watch jord do his thing. troy was also there. now, what tends to happen in our lounge is when the fan is on, you can't really eat anything hot because it gets cool so quick. there's an extra layer of suck with mi goreng also because it dries out and sticks together WHILE cooling down essentially turning it into un-eatable plop. this is what happened today.
to make matters worse, milo milk - especially too much milo milk - is probably the single worst thing you can prepare as a beverage to compliment mi goreng. not to mention the milk was tepid anyway, but with our fridge it's always like that. killer. so basically i ended up feeling totally disgusting, wasting a packet worth of MG that i'd left in the bowl (it had turned to the aforementioned plop) and finishing off the milk out of pure terror of wasting what is usually a wonderful mix. exhausted from my own stupidity i travelled downstairs to install farcry, which i bought yesterday (saturday) from cash converters for 5 dollars. after installation took the best part of 20 minutes i clicked on campaign and girded my loins for the TIME OF MY LIFE.
turns out my graphics card threw a hissy fit and displayed darkness as light, effectively ruining any chance i had of getting anywhere in the game (it begins in darkness). i quit and brooded on that for a while before loading up bioshock and continuing the last saved game i had on my pc which is from march 2008. to explain: i bought an xbox 360 and bioshock for it so i hadn't played it since. kind of a bummer. i played that until about 7pm - about 5 hours of gameplay - before rohin picked us up to go to the rsl for pool. i got wedges and a pie. pie was okay, wedges were the same.
points lost for savoury yoghurt instead of sour cream. points gained for consistently well sized wedges.
i think i lost all the games i played against everyone. after watching the colour of money the other week i've completely lost all of my pool mojo somehow. i think it was because tom cruise's character in that film made me hate pool while loving it at the same time. cognitive dissonance or some junk. even now that i own my own cue (well, 2 cues) i'm playing worse than ever. i HATE that. there has to be some way of fixing that. procedure. medical. if paul newman were still alive perhaps someone could pay him to come to my house in character as fast eddie to rough me up and teach me a thing or two about pool (and hustling, for that matter).
after that i went home, played more bioshock until about 1am and now it's nearly 2am. i hate that our internet only speeds up around 1:30am now. what the hell has everyone been downloading? literally every other member of the house besides troy was away on tour from about 2 days after the new internet month turned over until we got back a week later and it was shaped. i think troy did it. i can't prove it yet but once we see the figured for downloads while we were away...it's all over. troy will likely have pink eye for the rest of his time in this house. well, maybe not that drastic. but close.
until tomorrow, bye.
