My marks were posted on the internet today.
And i passed everything with relative ease it would seem. Admittedly i shat my pants in the last three weeks of term but it must have paid off somewhat.
Either way i'm gonna have a good night tonight.
The pressure is now completely off. Ahhhh
More at 11.

Well i've been trying this new job lark out for a few days now and it's not too bad i reckon. The folks are all pretty personable and i get an hour for lunch which is nice. I haven't really been given anything too interesting to work on as they all know i'm gone as of tomorrow at 4:30 (We have work drinks on Friday from 4:30, or maybe 4:00, i can't remember) Either way i think i'll fit right in when i get back...
All i gotta do is make them get me a better mouse than the 8 year old beast with sticky feet that i've been using this week. I seriously think my arm is getting musclier trying to push the damn thing round the desk.
I think i might have some proper drinks tomorrow night. All welcome.
Right now it's food time.

7.5 days
In one weeks time i'll be shitting my pants i think. I'm not sure i'll get any sleep next Tuesday night at all. I'll be too busy thinking about all the things i will no doubt have forgotten.
I've just finished my second full day at MAP today. As expected i'm an office bitch... although in saying that, i haven't made any coffee, and i don't think i will end up doing any either. I'm currently tied up drawing up window and door schedules and a few details when the need arises. Not exactly fun, but exactly what i expected i'd be doing, and will continue doing when i get back from my trip.
If you care about the Bob Dylan's Theme Time Radio Hour i brought up earlier then you can thank Millsy for bringing this site to my attention which hosts archives of all the songs played in each hour as well as the total show itself too.
Religious humour is funny
Movie Trailers of note:
Van Wilder 2 - I'm not holding my breath
13 Tzameti - I can't wait to see this
Rocky Balboa - No, they aren't kidding
Spiderman 3 - Old news but i like it... although i'm still not holding my breath
American Hardcore - Another i can't wait to see
Transformers - Thats right folks, that IS a tear in my eye. I get shivers whenever i think about this movie.
End.

I want one
Silly Microsoft (or not, maybe they are making it so easy so that people actually buy their pos players while also making the RIAA happy...)
Who knew... not me
For the man who has everything

Well i'm almost down to single digits for days until i leave. Things are finally starting to take shape but i have to put most things on hold as i start work tomorrow.
I'm a bit apprehensive about work to be honest. Big names, A+, 1st Class Hons, type people are there at the moment, and i certainly aren't any of those, so we'll see how well i fit in. Apparently they all like to have a good friday night though so that should be interesting.
My rant for the day:
Borders. One of the best book stores to grace the New Zealand country has been distributing discount vouchers via email for some time now and i am a happy recipient of said emails.
My problem lies in this fact; i have no printer so i can't print them and thus use them.
I went into Borders today to buy a book to read on the plane and knew they had vouchers available but obviously couldn't print them. I assumed that seeing as all the vouchers distributed have the same bar code (yeah thats right, they do, you can print 50 of them if you have a printer and go in and use them all separately if you wanted to) that someone behind the counter would be able to just scan one someone else had used and hook me up but no.
They must have some sort of database they have access to to prove that i am on the email system, but no, that would be far too easy.
Irritating to say the least.
Vid of the day:
The little ankle biter has some tempo skills that exceed my finger tapping prowess with ease.

11 and a recipe
Recipe of the day: Frittata (sp?)
Ingredients:
4 eggs
1 small potato cubed
1 small kumara cubed
1 small onion diced
3 pieces manuka smoked bacon diced
3 cloves garlic finely diced
A healthy sprinkling of mozzarella and parmesan cheese
1 large lime leaf diced very very finely
A small clump of basil leaves diced very finely
Salt
Pepper
Thyme
Dash of milk
Method:
Mix all but the eggs, milk and salt together in a fry pan and fry until cooked (See Note 1).
Add eggs and milk and salt to a separate bowl and mix thoroughly. (See Note 2)
Sprinkle cheeses on top of mix.
Simmer without stirring for 5min then bake in the oven for 15min or until the cheese is golden.
Remove, eat, enjoy. (See Note 3)
Note 1: A fry pan with a removable or oven proof handle is best as it may burn otherwise.
Note 2: If you want super light egg mix then separate the whites out of two of the eggs and beat until stiff. Then combine with the other eggs carefully.
Note 3: A small dash of Sweet Chilli Sauce goes nicely on the side.
On another note, i watched Snakes on a Plane the other night... What a complete waste of my time and effort. The highlight of the whole thing was seeing some nipple. Man i'm pleased i didn't pay.
On a better note i have been listening to Bob Dylans Radio Shows and am enjoying them alot. There is some great music in there which i must try and get my hands on to listen to some more.
Finally, i was pointed to a game on the net earlier which looks like it could be quite cool.

I'll have to try it out and see what it's like i think.
p.s. 11 days till i leave... i had better start sorting my room out.

12.5
12.5 days until i go to South America.
Man i can't wait, i've only just been able to start getting excited about it recently thanks to having to focus on study and the likes for the end of the year. I'm going to be pretty skint when i get back so there'll be no going out for me for a few months until i get some funds buffer back up and running.
If you want to see what i'm going to be doing have a read of this
Was browsing the ever popular youtube a while back and caught this interesting clip about corn starch and went trawling to try and find it again this morning. It is awesome, who knew that corn starch could be so cool. I wish they did this in high school chemistry class when i was there. I have an old speaker already lined up to try this out at home.

Movies
I went and saw Scorcese's latest flick "The Departed" the other day and was pleasently surprised. Not only was Mr DiCaprio not a weasel but Mr Scorcese kept up with his beautifully predictable killing.
Other movies to note recently are Shichinin No Samurai: A lovely grainy rip brought me the oldest Japanese movie i have ever watched. It doesn't quite deserve its rating on IMDB but i guess not many in the top 100 do. Namely oh and. I'm not saying that they weren't good in their time or that i didn't enjoy them... i actually didn't like Casablanca at all... but cult status is sometimes too powerful.
I finally got round to watching Buono, il brutto, il cattivo, Il aka The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly recently as well. Worth the watch if you haven't seen it but don't go and buy it unless you want to have Eastwood's babies.
Irreversible has got to be one of the most disturbing yet moving films i have seen in some time. Not since Fight Club or Boys Don't Cry, maybe even Requiem For a Dream. The aforementioned movies however are like small fluffy rabbits compared to Irreversible.
I think it was the graphic violence involving a fire extinguisher, or maybe the 8min long rape scene. No, i think it was the lucidly haphazard cinematography that did it.

Well I need to get some minimal HTML knowledge back into my brain cavity if I want to make this look how I want… but oh well I’m a touch too lazy for that now. Maybe while I’m at work.
I start work at MAP on Monday. I guess you could say it's my first 'real' job. A pity they are paying a pittance.
Hmm alliteration. Anywhoo
It has a pretty good rep. so they can afford to pay shit. I figure it's so that they can find out if they like me or not, if they don't, they don't give me more money and i stay as poor as a church mouse, if they do they pay a little more to keep me happy.
I've never kept a diary before. My mother would be proud i guess.
