DAAAAAAMN YOOOOUUUUU EEEEEEEEBAAAAAAAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

...that my mother is a nutcase:

Yes, that is one of my trading figures, in a Ferrero Rocher box...
She also spent a while looking at my stuff, commenting on the ones that she found good looking - Maid Rider was one of the ones she did. Odd woman :/

lol one of the IT support people in V building set off the fire alarm and evacuated the whole building - including my lecture - by BURNING HIS TOAST
Best part is the Fire Brigade showed up too... which isn't really a good thing because there goes a sizable piece of the uni's budget -_-
I can still smell burnt toast. And it's making me hungry... >_>

THE DUMBEST IDEA EVER - REHASHED!

- Revoltech Gurren Lagann preordered, twice (sith_boy wanted one too, obviously). Currently keeping an eye out for Lazengann as well, so I can get that too.
- Misaki-sensei :O~
- -_- man, Juka is fricking hot...
- Lol, Punch Hopper is useless, and neither of them can do Clock-ups (unless Yagurama just wasn't bothered). Gradually losing my love for Kick Hopper, which is bad D:
- But hey, Gatack is pretty fucking awesome
- Perfect Zecter = lol, wait, what?
- Reina is hot too. Too bad DAISUKE SHOT HER -_-
- I'm... pretty close to the end actually. Ep 40 of 49... I think I'll ignore God Speed Love too. Just because I can.
- lol, co-installed AVG beside Norton's so now the uni's wireless intertubes likes me
- orz stupid uni >_>

FUCK!! D: D: D: D:

WIN!! :D :D :D :D

Well, Firefox loaded the login frame for once, so I can finally post without using IE.
- TOTALLY FUCKING PREORDERED!. Now to wait for the inevitable HGUC Sazabi, then I'll buy that too. After only about a month I'm already tired of HG Destiny and Infinte Justice. Here's to hoping the joints on Nu and Sazabi don't suck as hard as they potentially could, and here's to hoping they won't be as lazy as they were with HGUC Zeta...
- Revoltech Starscream looks quite good. Joints look MUCH better than they are on the Patlabor ones, and at this rate I'm eventually getting Optimus and Rodimus + Megatron and Starscream. Although I hope not...
- So cute *_*. Such typical Alter fantasticness in this one... Now to decide between her and Ai D:

Fuck you
Fuck you too
Fuck you all
Oh FUCK YOU
Why the fuck does everyone else get a nice anti-enemy and pro-friendly jack thing and we just get YET ANOTHER fucking lunatic with an axe!?
Also, FUCK YOU Firefox... IE loads the login frame and you don't? WTF?!

So, they've got upgraded weapons from the previous versions huh?
Good thing it'll take more than that to make me really want them.

My month-old phone is fucking up. It might have been from when I dropped it, it might be from when I got a bit of water splash from: taking pictures standing on the front of a ferry, taking pictures of water spewing out of the Penrith PCYC ceiling, or running around delivering pizza in the pouring rain with it in my pocket.
Either way, it now randomly stops doesn't detecting the sim card. This might also have been my fault, because the first thing I did with it was shove the sim card in there the wrong way up...
It's still under its warranty period, so I'm going to go back to the rather shady place I bought it from and see what he can do. Until then, I'm having to go back to the old LG that rapes pockets. Yay -_-
edit: actually, not the place I bought it, but the place they pointed me to, some phone repair place in Auburn? Still, THEY'D better fix it... I'll be slightly more than angry if they don't or "can't find anything wrong with it" and/or charge me more than what the phone cost in the first place...
edited edit: minor clarifications and fixings here and there.
Status edit: Handed it into the repair place, was a little flabbergasted when they said it would be ready in two business days, hence MONDAY. Which is a public holiday... so I dunno whut's going on D:. Hopefully they won't deem it as my fault and charge me $25 before handing it back unfixed, that would just piss me off.
More status edit: Well, I checked the online status thing this morning, and it showed the job as completed... Less than a full day, and it's completed can mean only one thing: they didn't fix it. They called me just then as well saying it was ready to be collected, yet didn't mention whether it was fixed or not... orz

Sequel post to the previous post... and I am never, ever eating something like this again. Frozen soft serve with Flake in it tastes nice for the first, I dunno, little bit, but after that it starts tasting like arse. And Flake.

Car update:
2 new front tyres: $168 + fitting and balancing
Wheel alignment: $64
Knowledge that the corner I hit really IS out: priceless.
There are some things money can't buy. For everything else, there's money.

So yeah, the rim of the tyre I hit was actually dented a little as well, but still balanced perfectly fine. Regardless, they swapped it for the spare's rim and put Denty in the boot with the spare tyre on it. I drove to Penrith knowing the car was drifting rather badly to the left, and so went back to them on the way home (on the way there and back I noticed that the kerb for the corner I hit was blackened with tyre rubber and definitely out a little further than it should be) and said "I thinks the wheel alignment is borked." Etc etc, and they did it, turned out that it was in fact out, so they fixed it. $64, orz...
It's hot. I don't want to work tonight, as usual...

My ipod's battery is on a steady decline to death. I bought a replacement one today, but after about half an hour of cursing and shoving and scraping off the foam padding from places, I've deduced that it doesn't fit - which it doesn't. Comparison to the dying battery shows that the replacement one has protrusions along the top edge on places the dying battery didn't. So, bah.
On the way back from Dick Smith, I also managed to take a chunk out of the front tyre of my car. That fucking roundabout's kerb has to be further out than it should be, because that is the only fucking place I have ever hit the kerb on a left turn at a roundabout. True, I might also have been a little close to it, but still... According to the Bridgestone guy, the tyre is a little weaker, but should be safe to drive on. I didn't manage to penetrate, so it's not going flat, but it looks rather discomforting. It's about 3mm deep, possibly more, at its deepest point, and the hubcap now has a dent along it.
So, in short, today has sucked. A lot.
edit: ( and oh holy FUCK did it get worse )
Additional notes:




And still, apparently the tyre is still safe to drive on. Then again it's not as bad as it looks, but still, I'm going to bring the car back to Bridgestone tomorrow morning and get it repaired if possible or replaced if not.

I wish I could do NMM (google it, but make sure the word 'paint' is also in the search string)
Imma look at some tutorials. Maybe I CAN do it. Or it'll fail miserably and come out looking miserable...

So I've had this idea for a little while now, just that I was never willing to spend the $60 for these two minis. It's turned out... okay, I suppose. If I can be really bothered, or if it doesn't turn out looking like shit when I paint it, I may enter it into this year's Golden Daemon in the Duel category. Provided they still have it this year... (they fucking better, otherwise I'll be doing all this for nothing)
EDIT: It wasn't a category last year, and so I doubt it'll be one this year. Hence, I'll have to enter it into diorama. Which I'm sure doesn't get counted for the sword, which is really all I'm ever in it for. Not like I'll manage to do it, those people truly are godly...

Damn you Athrun, why must you make me so gay for your pink Gundams?
I guess I made this inevitable by having bought the matching Destiny kit a couple weeks back... which reminds me, I still need to put that together sometime... Maybe when Pinkdam gets here.
Also, opened the curtain next to my computer this morning and was greeted by this:

Taken with my new phone's 2MP camera <3

This arrived today. In a huge box that turned out to be large enough to fit two of them in there. Anyway...
It has about a hojillion parts, no instructions as to where they go (it's pretty braindead anyway) and is a pain to undress - as it is now, I have to improvise with an extra bit of wire to get her pants back on properly. NOT PERVERTED AT ALL.
Her weapons are safely contained in the box flap, which is a unique problem in itself because I have no idea how to get them out without trashing the box... edit: Got them out, sliced the packaging down the sides so it wasn't too obvious. Also got her pants back on, armoured up her legs and replaced the chest armour and then lost patience. I'll do the rest later...
Will be picking up this Saber from Adun later on in the day, because a friend of his is selling it and I bought it the moment he asked.
Clare should be arriving soon.
And I still have a HG 1/144 Destiny to put together.
Soooo.... All that space I made and planned out for disappeared in an instant.
Hooray...

Dear Kaiyodo:
I hate you all.
-Me

ps: Make a revoltech Vergil, damn it!

On an unrelated note, noodle hands ftw! Seriously, those things look fucking creepy...

- I knew I should have express posted my money order. It's been over a week - almost two, in fact - since I mailed it, and modchip still haven't sent me the email saying they received it. It was just a fucking letter, it can't possibly take so long. Goodbye, $71, and goodbye another $55 from using someone's credit card and paying them back.
- Utterly buttfucked for my exam in an hour. Enough said.
- I'm SO buying a Darth Maul lightsaber. I know I've been going on for ages saying I was going to, but now it's reached the point where I'm very close to doing so.
- Did I mention I was screwed for my exam?
EDIT: Yup, utterly failed my exam. The page that had nothing but QUESTION 2: not attempted writted on it in my answer book is testament enough to that

Doomed for Tuesday. The more I study the more I realise that I'm utterly screwed because I don't understand a great deal of what's going on - wish I'd realised that ten weeks ago and started then. But hey, second semester is always like this -_-
Exam on Monday was pretty easy, I'm hoping for a credit in that unit. So, 1 fail, 1 credit and another very possible fail. NOT GOOD.
Still really hoping my payment for my SwapMagic is at least heading in the right direction to where it's meant to go. The 5-7 business day estimate is exactly that - and estimate - and by tomorrow 7 business days are up. Again, estimate.
