Woo! I ventured out onto the main road today. ๐Ÿ˜€ It’s quite easy, heh. Now I’ll be able to drive myself to and from work, and rack up the hours really fast.

I also gave my car a wash and polish. It looks /so/ much better now. The tyres are a bit crummy looking (they’re re-treads), and the hubcaps and rims are generally atrocious, although I cleaned them up as best I could. I’m going to put mags on it eventually, though, so I don’t need to worry too much about it. I’ll take some pics tomorrow.

Going over to a friend’s place tonight, for a night of drinking and video games. ๐Ÿ™‚

We went and saw Daredevil tonight. Mmm, Jennifer Garner.

I just ordered a bunch of CDs from The End Records:

* Angel Dust – Enlighten The Darkness
* Dimmu Borgir – Puritanical Euphoric Misanthropia
* Lacuna Coil – Comalies
* Nightwish – Wishmaster
* Poisonblack – Escapexstacy
* Trail Of Tears – Profoundemonuim
* Tristania – Beyond The Veil

Mmm…metally goodness.

Blackouts–

Bah. We just had a blackout. There’s /so/ nothing to do during one. : At least during the day you can read books.

Fortunately it didn’t last very long, though. I really need to get a UPS and hook my G4, PC, and cable modem up to it. ๐Ÿ˜€

w00t. The integration of my LiveJournal with my website is complete. I can now be updating my LJ and website at the same time, rather than leaving my website languishing. ๐Ÿ™‚ Oh, and naturally I’ve redesigned my site. ๐Ÿ˜‰

My driving’s going quite well. ๐Ÿ™‚ Had to fill up for the first time last Thursday…at 105.7 cents/litre, ouch. D: I think I need to time it so my refueling is done on Mondays (Monday seems to be cheapest).

w00t!!

I’m getting my car on Monday. ๐Ÿ˜€ ๐Ÿ˜€

It’s a white 1993 Corolla hatchback. Very good condition, full service history, and drives quite well.

/me is happy ๐Ÿ˜€

A somewhat delayed entry…

I got massively drunk Saturday last week. 6 Smirnoff Ice Double Blacks (mmm, 7% alcohol) + half a bottle of vodka’s worth of shots. ๐Ÿ™‚

No luck on the car front as yet. Both the dealers we went to didn’t have the cars that were advertised (apparently the Corolla is very popular…3 days max, and they’re generally gone).

We went bowling last night. ๐Ÿ˜€ Holy crap I suck, heh. Got 3rd in the first game we played, and last in the second. Still, it was quite fun.

And I’ve just tidied my room, so it’s all neat ‘n’ stuff. Cleanliness++. It really improves my mood, having my room like this. ๐Ÿ™‚

Oooh! And Opeth are coming out here in April. ๐Ÿ˜€ ๐Ÿ˜€ They’re in Sydney on the 13th…I’m so totally there. ๐Ÿ˜€

Going looking at cars on Saturday. ๐Ÿ™‚

We’ve got a list of 9 good possibilities from the Trading Post, and even better, they’re all in the same general area (mostly Parramatta and the surrounding area).

Dad’s BMW is damn nice! Although the stereo system isn’t actually all that good…I put in one of my Opeth CDs and it was quite muffled sounding. Once I get my car and put a good stereo in there, I’ll be able to say that it’s better than Dad’s! ๐Ÿ˜‰

(Golden Circle Orange Crush cordial)++ # plus fucking plus.

Oh, and my dad picks up his brand-spanking-new BMW 318ti Compact tomorrow. ๐Ÿ™‚
