that is GOLD! I saw this pic when i clicked one of the frazzled links on Tash's blog.
It reminds me of another saying: "scared is just sacred... spelt wrong" or something, how does that one go?
what about "Joker is Poker with a J"
...Quality.

Why must the season be over??

I dont watch much TV, I used to every now and then but now, since Katanning, I've become addicted to Australian Idol (I had to google to find the website, I'm not THAT addicted!) and Grey's Anatomy (also googled). These shows would get us through the week, they were what made us accept that the weekend was over, a little reward for making it through Monday at school... Thanks Shazza!

Does my blog know your name??

This is for all those non-bloggers out there...

I have heard rumour that when you leave a comment on my blog, it knows your name -is this true?? Clearly if you have a blogger profile, that's fine, it knows, but if you dont, then HOW?? Has this happened to anyone? Can anyone think of an explanation?

I live in Australia

I was driving home tonight and I saw a kangaroo on the road. OK so some people who know where I live are a thinking " big deal, you live in the hills!" But I was not on the back roads, this kangaroo was on the highway, where there were street lights and cars and everything...

I didnt take a photo and google didnt have much to offer so I drew one in paint for you to see.

Type the characters you see in the picture below

Damn word verification... be gone!

Vanilla

So today as dad and I were driving home from workI noticed that he likes to drive in the left lane and just never change. On the radio someone referred to someone else as "vanilla", I thought it fitting to refer to my dad as vanilla, in response:

dad: I like vanilla :)
me: i know dad, but I mean you're quite conservative...
dad: no, I'm not! [he says as we wait behind a bus letting off passengers]
me: ok, what do you do that's... [insert discussion about what the opposite of conservative is] ...not conservative?
dad: um... I read books...

***5 minutes later***

dad: I wear striped shirts!

Bored?

Tried all of Mazza's cures for boredom?

Why not try wiki-olympics or googlewhack?

Poker Payum

Last night at Pray and Play, Hoda "taught" us how to play Poker. After the first "practise" round we started playing properly... I believe Hoda was actually the first one out, after a while it was down to just Payum and I. Unfortunately I'm a very conservative player whereas Payum is really not, so when Hoda decided to raise the blinds to "make it interesting", I ended up slowly passing all my winning to Payum.

This was his winning hand: a 2 and a 10.

Meanwhile Nak decides to do a bit of oils (/grease/shank) on his email instead of joining in the fun...

The Wiki-olympics

Two of my friends recently developed this game, Shanthi shared it with me last night at Pray and Play (devotional/games night). It is such a grand waste of time that I feel it my duty to share it with you now.

Wiki-olympics

What you need:

• A computer with the internet (clearly you have that)
• A friend (or enemy- both will work, Wiki contestants may vers each other online or on adjacent computers)
• The Wikipedia website

Aim of the game:

• To get from one topic/page to another unrelated topic/page in the least amount of clicks

Rules:

• You may not click on external links
• You may not press the "back" button

Try this one:

• From "Gandhi" to "Luke McPharlin"... so far the record is 4 clicks. Can you beat it??

Extra challenge:

• If you think that you're hot and this is far too easy, then why not introduce a speed limit to spice things up a little and give us that added pressure that we live for?!

Learning Difficulties

We are all aware of Shazza Rey 's obsession with her lecturer , perhaps we are both starting to think far too highly of our university lecturers:

As we are walking out of our Learning Difficulties tute [with Dr Somebody] we pass another tute room and look in...

Shaz: who is that guy? he looks familiar...
Caz: yeah he does! maybe he's the leader of some group...
Shaz: yeah, or a presenter!
Caz: is he on tv??
Shaz: thats right he's a tv presenter!!
Caz: yeah he must be...

***moment passes as we try to think which tv show***

Shaz: oh no, he's just our lecturer for Aboriginal Education...

Ice Cream Sl*ts

Last night I hung out with Shidan, Shervs and Shawn (from the Gong). Shidan and Shervin are both studying very hard to be doctors so after dinner Shawn and I buzzed off and let them study, with instructions to come back in an hour with ice cream. We headed into Subiaco where there are 4 major ice cream stores all within a 100 metre radius of each other...

Our instructions were to bring back il-gelato and so headed there first to try some flavours and to see what time closing was. Shawn could not help but notice, however, a sign for Cold Rock Ice Cream and their 3000+ combinations, he was intrigued. So after teasing il-gelato, we headed over to Cold Rock.

Now the special thing about Cold Rock is that what they do is they take whatever flavour of icecream you choose and smoosh it together with any filling you desire, eg. macadamia white choc icecream with cherry ripe and cookie dough mixed in...
If anyone knows Shawn, you know that he doesn't understand moderation when it comes to icecream; he orders a large cup (so he can fit more it) with ferrero rocher ice cream with malteasers and snickers AND cookies and cream icecream with tim tams and oreos mixed in. The girl behind the counter admitted half way through mixing that she was really bad at estimating how much icecream to use, consequently our large ice cream was actually (no exaggeration) twice the size of a normal large... i decided not to order my own ice cream then and just ate Shawns...
After which of course we went back to il-gelato to buy a take home pack to bring back more ice cream for our doctor friends.

The MAIN Attraction...

The wedding of Luke and Kalinz was quite the event, some might even say it was the wedding event of the year...

What was the main attraction though- was it the lovely couple?

Was it the beautiful bride, Kalinz?

Was it dancing in amongst all the football players?

...or was it BAZ?!!

Hard to make up my mind...
