Shryke

had a weekend to myself as my gf has been off in another city playing a gig my flatmates were away at a wedding as well, so had the house to myself, which just meant the cat was starved for attention and has been very clingy and has pretty much been sitting/sleeping on me whenever i sit down

got around to seeing Iron Man 3 today definitely better than the 2nd one, and i'd say on par with the first couple of wtf moments, but overall pretty good not sure what to think of what they did with the Mandarin though...

i've never been a comic reader really, but recently i've been giving it a shot currently working my way through the Civil War comics - catching up on all these old storylines i've heard about

im always a bit bemused at everyone's love for Dany i found her storyline one of the most dull developments in the entire series

first time out in a while last night gf was playing a gig and had a friend over from Melbourne so it was good to catch up with him as well as everyone else was getting lots of comments about the beard. guess that shows how long it's been since people have seen me

i found Game of Thrones purely by accident i've always been a big reader, and so whenever my mother goes to library book sales she just picks up a whole bunch of books she thinks i might like if i don't, then who cares - they only cost like 50 cents i like it mainly because i've read so many fantasy novels in the past and i got so sick of the cliche farmboy/orphan hero who happens to be the object of a prophecy and the saviour of the world etc etc

incidently, i deal with members of parliament on a semi regular basis at work, and was kinda amused to see that most of the ones i already hated were opposed to the bill i feel a bit more justified in my dislike now

my sister and i at our grandmother's 90th birthday last year

my immediate thought was "about bloody time"

So as of about half an hour ago, gay marriage is now legal in New Zealand

"privates" investigator!

18 when i joined this board, 25 now strange to think of the transitions i've gone through in that time i started as a shy teen in a tiny town where i didn't know anyone. i then moved to the "big city" where i came out of my shell in a spectacular way i'm sure some of the older fellows remember my escapades from the "what you did today" threads since then i've become quite a quiet chap. i hardly ever go out anymore and am quite happy to chill at home with my gf and play games or watch movies together

My workmate is an... interesting chap. He gets bored easily and starts absurd conversations or tries to find ways to entertain himself. Tonight he ran out of things to do so he hunted around the supply room for tape and created a web around me/my desk and wanted me to try and get out without touching any of it. It was like a low budget homage to the movie Entrapment

haven't shaved in over two months - looking like a bit of a hobo was considering cutting all my hair off too, it'd be the first time i've had short hair since i was 14 gf said she'd cry if i got rid of it though

i feel like a plague doctor every night i get home from work and hear wheezing and coughing throughout the house. everyone is sick except for me, and i kinda hope it stays that way got a new tv and xbox set up in my room, so the gf's been huddled up in blankets playing fable and mass effect. her excuse for being horrible at said games is that she's sick and is allowed to suck
