Man, I feel like such an old man. Well, maybe not old, but not young. 😛

I was out with a couple of friends at the local RSL, just talking and having a few drinks. It got to about 11:30 and we were all, “Yeah, I’m about ready to head home now.”

I really can’t stay up all night these days, although admittedly that’s more due to being used to having to get up early with Lily and stuff.

::collapses into bed::

Hee! I’ve got today off work and am looking after Lily. I put some music on, Cradle of Filth’s “Dusk And Her Embrace” album. She sat down in my lap and was headbanging to it!

My lovely kungfupolarbear‘s birthday present for Lily arrived last week, I got around to taking some photos today!

I’ve uploaded them to the Lily photoset on Flickr. The bottom four are the ones I just took, and the next row up is from various points over the last couple of months.

Good lord.

We had the AppleCare Excellence Awards last week and I won a black 8GB iPod nano (which I’m giving to kungfupolarbear). I just had the call centre manager come over now and I’ve won ANOTHER iPod, this one a black 80GB classic, and JBL OnStage Micro speakers. Amusingly, this was for sales. I sold exactly ONE thing this entire quarter, and still managed to beat the rest of Tier 2. 😉

I rather wish they’d start giving out something other than iPods though. 😛

My god this is going to be a fucking awesome year for concerts. We have:

  • Lacuna Coil — 25th June, at the Enmore Theatre
  • Opeth — 6th September, at the Big Top
  • Meshuggah — 13th October, at the Roundhouse

And I’m seeing Soilwork tonight at the Manning Bar at Sydney Uni!

FUCKING MESHUGGAH! They haven’t come out here before ever!

I bought Grand Theft Auto 4 for my Xbox 360 on my break at work today.

Got home, and what did I end up doing for the last three hours? Playing co-op Marathon Durandal with neon2099. Hee.

Ahh, nostalgia. They did a bloody good job porting it, that’s for sure.

Lily turned one yesterday! That really has gone by waaaay too fast.

We had a bit of a do at Sammi’s parents’ place. A bunch of her relatives came (my relatives in the immediate area pretty much consist of mum, dad, my sister, and my grandma), Lily got lots of fun presents, and a good time was had by all. I snapped a few pics, I’ll upload them when I get home tonight.

On a totally different note, LACUNA COIL ARE TOURING AGAIN! And headlining this time! Tickets are on sale this Friday, and it’s June 26 at the Enmore. I cannot fucking WAIT.

This MacBook Air is one of the most impressive bits of technology I have ever used. Everything that I use my MacBook Pro for the MBA handles quite nicely. I bought the SuperDrive and Ethernet Adapter too, and installed Windows on it yesterday. Pretty much the only reason I even have Windows is for Dawn of War. It runs quite playably, admittedly at 1024×768 with all the graphics options down.

I pulled the MBP out last night to grab a couple of files off it, and good GOD it felt large and heavy! It’s crazy how my perceptions have changed already.

So I’m selling my MacBook Pro to my parents, since I have no need for it. That’ll give a very nice boost to my finances. And my sister will inherit the old 17″ PowerBook that my parents currently have, as she’s without a computer at all right now.

Woo!

So, I’ve finally gotten around to taking some photos of my new place!

My roommate’s room is just to the left of the bathroom (mine’s to the right). And those bars on the balcony are going to be gotten rid of, thankfully. 🙂
