The Best Site In The Universe

You need to go to this site. Here's just one small example of the kind of humour you can expect.

Semper Fi on line

If you don't recognise the name R Lee Ermey, you'll almost definitely recognise his face. Head here to his official web site and enjoy.

O. M. F. G.

This guy needs to watch out for the too much time police, but holy crap it's funny.

Slightly different

It is possible I am not our average, Australian, 26-year-old male.

I got home from work today and kicked back with a hot bath, some chorizo on Jatz[TM], a bottle of alcoholic ginger beer and a copy of "A Short History Of Nearly Everything" by Bill Bryson.

An' you know what?

Didn't suck.

Hullo, all!!

Guess, what!? I'm in Melbourne!

I've taken my first ever paid leave, and I've finally gotten my arse down to visit Sam IV and Unky Gra Gra. It's only taken me four years to get down here to visit the once-hairy one and of course he's just got a job in Sydney, so I was 6 weeks off missing him entirely.

Last Saturday I hopped a coach to Cootamundra (cause there's no direct rail link between Canberra and Melbourne) and from there I got a train to Melbourne. First of all, let me just say that I love train travel. It's so relaxing and steady, without any accompanying nausea if you try to read. I'd also like to say the Stephen Fry's reading of the Harry Potter books is incredible. Now, back to my trip...

Graham (at whose place I am staying) met me at the train station (formerly Spencer Street, now Melbourne Southern Cross because they put a new roof on it) and then took me straight to the Malthouse Theatre where we attended the premiere of the show he'd just sunk 80 hours into in one week. I enjoyed the show, although I think it still needed a couple more polishes. The acting was excellent and the ideas presented interesting, but it didn't grip me as well as I think it could have.

Of course, what opening night would be complete without an after-show soiree and I'd like to recommend the mini-burgers and chicken and leak pies. Also, it was the first of such things I've been too where they also had dessert. Mini lemon meringue pies (which I missed out on... now I have a craving... [cranes neck at café cake fridge]) and these amazing chocolate and raspberry brownies. They where about the size of an eraser (or a 9 volt battery? Just a bit more square) and soooo rich. Very, very good.

Following that, we dumped my stuff back at Graham's house, which is simple awesome. It's across the road from Edinburgh park, has a MASSIVE kitchen (in which I'm making pizza tomorrow for dinner) and is just reall groovy. Not to mention that it's also a pleasant stroll to Brunswick Street and other trendy locales. We topped off the night with a ginger martini at a bar called, oddly enough, Ginger and I have to say that despite sitting on my bum for the majority of the day, I was a very tired Euan when I eventually went to bed.

I'll sign off now (my chicken tenderloins are getting cold) and see you later...

Go here.

I know I'm late and slow and everthing, but YouTube is awesome!

It's just loaded with nifty videos (and I think some episodes of TV). I havenae worked out how to save 'em yet (assuming you can), but they load quickly and the star ratings actually mean something. Just dip in and have a poke around.
