Harassment on the course
So it's embarassing enough trying to get back into golf after a four year hiatus, but it's much worse when you're being harassed as you try and approach the green.
Damn wallabies think they're so good! I'll show them.

New flatmate not payin rent
So we've had a new flatmate move in and he's not keen on payin rent. He's bloody squatting in our house and there's not much we can do about it. I don't know how he got in cause the place is always locked up. I'd call the ombudsman to complain but I reckon his name is Kermit so I can see us getting too much sympathy.....
Oh well, at least we know the 'loo will be safe with him on guard.

Irony is great
I worked last night and after closing headed down to Melanka's Party bar for a few wind down drinks. It's part of Melanka Backpackers and stays open late and caters to the dance/club crowd. It reminds me of Louie's/Fubar back in Waterloo. That's enough for most people to understand the type of joint it is.
Anyways, I was on the dance floor with some nurses I'd met earlier at Bo's and realized that I was dancing to a 70's rock tune tune with a dance backbeat added. I can't recall who it was exactly but I think it was the Doobie Brothers or a similar type band. I can't explain it right now but it just felt ironic in a very raw, unrefined way. The fact that music used to represent the younger generation rebellion has dissipated to be replaced by dance remixes of songs previously enjoyed by parents and grandparents...
I'm too lazy to explore the topic more so do it yourself

Funny Shit
Some people call being unemployed 'in between jobs'. I don't have to sugarcoat it like that cause I'm only underemployed at the moment. I'm still workin at Bomber for the summer - my last term there. However, it's only part-time employment at best. The weather is not helping matters as most bars aren't in need of more 'tenders til their patios get busy...which doesn't happen when it's 10 degrees and cloudy. Basically, I'm saying I've got extra time on my hands....and what do I do with it? Sleep. With no reason to get up early, I'm rarely seeing the AM portion of most days...unless it's the part immediately following midnight. Another thing I've noticed is that unless you're looking for something specific on the internet, it's not really that entertaining. Luckily, there's people of like mind who find stuff for others to read and enjoy.
If you're ever looking for some funny shit to read, check out this site - McSweeney's Internet Tendency. It's full of great writings and satire. I forget how I stumbled across it, but the first article I read was "WHAT I WOULD BE THINKING ABOUT IF I WERE BILLY JOEL DRIVING TOWARD A HOLIDAY PARTY WHERE I KNEW THERE WAS GOING TO BE A PIANO".
If you know of other sites like this full of great humour, let me know and I'll start a section of links for them.
