In other news, I've decided not to re-read my post about lists and things I wanted to do these holidays, as I don't think I have the heart to deal with the tsunami of anger, disappointment and self-reproach that will inevitably ensue. But I did eat pho; and the pho was nice.
Had a boardgames day at my house with the USyd crowd. 'Forced' them to watch 'Trent from Punchy'; now I'm 'forcing' you to watch it as well. I shouldn't say 'forced', in inverted commas; it sends the message that I didn't really force them, and didn't actually throw the ones who refused into a pit of fire with cobras. You'd think the cobras would die in the fire. No, it just makes them more angry. Anyway, enjoy!
When told to watch this video by my mates from Adelaide, they did say 'The only person I wanna meet more than Trent, is Kev.' lol, Kev is a sicko.
Dropped by USyd as well, and in true Adelaidian spirit, I'd describe it as 'heaps good'. But the best part was at the end of the night, with Mo, Joon, Trent and Aimy, eating a steak sandwich and sharing stories. Some of the stories included the infamous VJ strip show, the Rage against the Nicola Machine, and interesting couples with curious age gaps (I thought Yr 12 guy to Yr 7 girl was kinda freaky. Aimy does note that she was smoking hot. However, I still find the Yr 11 girl with a Year 7 guy super pedo-woman-bear).
By far the best story was Trent and Aimy's story from their friend from Girra. Pretty much, this guy (we'll call him Gunbound boy, GBB for short), was playing Pokemon on his computer. Okay, I lie, it was Gunbound. Anyway, while GBB was playing, a girl who had decided she liked GBB, despite his GB obsession, and make her move by asking him out over MSN (in her defence, she was in year 8 at the time). So, quite characteristically, GBB is in a game of Gunbound at the time, and alt-tabs after hearing the DUM-DUM-DUM MSN sound. He fails to read the text in the window, and just replies 'Yeah', and returns to his game of Gunbound, LOL so fail. THEN the girl's best friend gives him a ring: he answers the phone; she says 'So you're going out with (GBB's girl)'; he replies with the always charming 'Huh, I am?'. LOL Trent says the relationship lasted an extensive 12 minutes. Making and breaking up before even seeing each other face to face. There must be a World record for these things, right? And for all those die hard gamers who must be wondering 'so, was he so distraught that he became a rage-leaver in the gunbound game?', you can breathe easy, he went straight back to the game after the phonecall.
Anyway, I'll be heading back to Adelaide at the end of this week. No more media =(. Since I know Chi didn't like Trent from Punchy, maybe he'll like this one:
lol, he speaks many truths. 'Everybody underestimates the kick in the groin'. Yes they do. They really do.
Anyway, I'm really really really tired right now. Anyway, some Simpson's trivia to end the night! (I mean morning): In a Simpsons episode, Smashing Pumpkins' lead singer Billy Corgan guest stars, and introduces himself to Homer saying 'Billy Corgan, Smashing Pumpkins'. What is the main plot of this episode, and how does Homer respond to Billy?
Catchya later!
Josh
P.S. Answer: Hullabalooza episode where Homer becomes part of the freakshow - cannon in the gut. And he responds 'Homer Simpson, smiling politely'. Good old wikipedia, refreshing my childhood memories.
