Full Metal Jacket

So I was bored this evening and so watched my usual quota of TV. You know- Glasshouse, David and Margaret, and before that whatever crap was on TV. However come 10:30 I was completely bereft. And believe me, I NEEDED something to watch, or else my dreaded holiday homework guilt would catch up with me and I'd have to study (ugh). So, disillusioned by commercial TV, and not feeling intellectual enough for ABC, I turned over to old faithful- SBS. Now, given the hour of night I was expecting something... quirky... French... porn if I was lucky (the internet connection here is so slow...).

Well, I'm sure everyone's seen the new FlexiBus ads on TV by now. Unfortunately, I doubt FlexiBus will be all it's hyped up to be (well, by my standards).

So, I decided to propose an improved system: FlexiBus Extreme.

Here's how it works:

For Scheduled Passengers:
This is intended for passengers who know when they want to get on a bus, about 30 minutes before they actually do (i.e., the organised ones who know exactly where they are heading -- supermarket, shops, library, etc).

There's been a whole bunch of propaganda going around uni from ANU Green (ANU's sustainability department) about how we should help to reduce the costs to ANU. Most of this is about 'reducing our use' in terms of paper, water and electricity usage. One example on one of their pamphlets was that we should consider storing documents electronically, as opposed to printing them out.

Ever had a hard night out, drinking "Midori Splice"'s?
I have.

For those of you who don't know, the two main ingredients in a Splice is Midori and Malibu, mixed with Pineapple juice. They used to go real cheap at the "Echo Bar" in Canberra.

Why do I mention this? How is this related to Gloria Jeans?
Gloria Jeans has a new "Summer Range" of chilled drings; one of which is called "Pina Colada".

Being the alcoholic I am, I of course, decided to try one.

First sip: "Hmm.. this tastes all too familiar"

Second sip: "Wait, I know that..."

Last week was exam week for me. Hence, I had many a reason to procrastinate (instead of study).

One way I ended up procrastinating was to go out to a video store and hire a DVD. I think Rob said it best:

[22:31] <bob2> Nemesis__: I'd feel dirty paying for it

But I was out of options (I'll write some netspeed hate another day).

Anyhow, As I was watching it, I couldn't help but to notice how poor quality the recordings were. I felt like the numbskulls had taken a shitty VCR, hooked it up to a DVD recorder and pressed 'Play'.

Wow. What a pretty little site. I appreciate the love, nemesis (although I think you need a better name - for both the site and for yourself). Unfortunately, the people on :Shudder: Realmtech apparently have difficulties in speaking English. cf. Monnie: "Thats absoultley beautiful." For the uninitiated - if there are two words 'contracted' into another word, it is a contraction, and there is usually an apostrophe where the letters have been removed. And jeez, this Monnie character spelt 'absolutely' wrong.
