I just saw one of the best techie slogans ever…
If it aint broke, fix it until it is
I finally made it to The Wendy House which is the alternative night (and by that they mean goth night) at the union. It was just me and Michelle as Sarann bailed on us because she’s a hardcore wuss ;). They have it laid out like Fruity using Stylus, Bar Coda and Mine. As usual, the indie rock got stuck in Bar Coda but ah well, the music in Stylus was decent enough.
Great night though, there are so many hot goth chicks and we spent most of the night playing spot the wierdest outfit you can. There were some quality condendors, it’s worth going just to see what people are wearing :p. It’s also good as it’s not that busy so there is plenty of room to dance unlike Fruity when it’s just too packed to move anywhere other than Bar Coda (one of the advantages of being an indie fan is that most people aren’t so you can usually get cheap drinks quickly and have room to dance).
The Wendy House is the monthly goth event at the union. I was reading their website and I came accross this…

“The University will not allow Nazi insignia on the premesis.” So are these guys saying that if it was up to them, they would?
My inbox count is creeping back up again. It went as high as 25 today although I’ve managed to get it back down to 19 now.
Isn’t a bit bullshit when major Hollywood stars like Jennifer Aniston are starring in films at the flagship festival for “independent movie making,” it just doesn’t really seem to be in the spirit of things.
I took the friendship quiz in the February issue of Teen People and scored 11 / 21 (I’m not going to explain why I have a copy of Teen People but those of you familiar with xmeltrut.com should be able to work out why).
That puts me in the bottom 7-11 points category “where is the love” (it’s worth noting that 7 is the minimum points you can score). This is what is says about me…
The way you are threating your friends, it’s hard to believe you have any left. Try considering other people’s feelings and showing graditude.
I think that sums me up nicely :p. Ok, I’m going to be honest, I’m not that guy. I wish I was, if I could change my personality I would probably me more ruthless and more strong-willed. But considering the quiz asks questions about cheerleading and friends talking about getting dumped I think it’s only accurate for girls or camp guys anyway.
A friend of mine has apparently got his free PSP on the way to him from FreePay (it used to be called Gratis network). I somehow got myself signed up to the Free Ipods site and I’ve completed an offer although I found one that was free, I’m not going to invest money in it as then to make it worth it I will have to invest more to make sure I get it.
Bottom line is, I know it’s legit as all the news sources like CNN and Wired have been talking about it but that doesn’t mean it isn’t a scam. it’s still a pyramid scheme where most people don’t end up with anything. But we’ll see how it goes.
One thing I just remembered while I was in the shower. One of the questions for my introduction to systems development exam was…
What is YHMAN? Who founded it? When? How big is it?
Looking back on it putting
There’s no such thing according to Wikipedia
Was probably not the best answer I could have given :p. I put that in my practice questions and I’m sure there was a reason that made it sound like a good idea when I put it in the actual exam too.
I don’t think I emphasised this point enough last night. My exams are over! I have no more, at least until the end of next semester which is ages away anyway. I have lectures starting again on Monday but this gives me three days in which I don’t have to feel guilty about doing no work because I simply have absolutely nothing to do.
Finished my exams today so I was in a partying mood. It was Claudia’s birthday so we were all heading down to Bar Risa. Although when I got there half of them had gone to Oceana. Still there was enough of us there to make a night of it.
Tonight was pretty mental. Started off around 9:30 in the Bod Bar, got a few drinks in with Jed, Kev, Sean and two of the Daves then got the bus down to Bar Risa which is now staging Indie Rox (rumour has it that Halo has been closed down which sucks if it has though it would explain the change of venue).
We left about 1:40 or something, Precious was absolutely wasted and he and Chris ended up falling on the floor in a pile-up. Next thing we know there are 7 police around us wearing armoured jackets and the lot. Anyway we got on the bus and they were chanting until 3 more police got on the bus ;). We managed to get them quiter then although not silent.
Arriving home there was only one thing to do – watch Back to the Future :p.
One plus about Bar Risa is that the bar staff are really hot but the downside is they are really blonde ;). It was like 1:20 or something and as I’d finished drinking (I was warmed up by then so I wind down after that to keep my head clear) I ordered a coke and so she gives me a glass filed with ice and then starts serving someone else! Ah well, at least it was incredibly amusing :D.
