Planet MadDog - Because TV Told Me To

Yes! My house seems to have become infested with zombie crickets. Well its not exacty an infestation... only 3 of the little buggers so far. I would wake up and see a little dead cricket in the hallway, then kick and poke it a few times to make sure its dead. Then I'd leave it there for a few minutes while I go off and have a shower or something. When I get back, the cricket is gone! Disappeared from the face of the earth! Of course, the only logical explaination is that the crickets have somehow become zombified by some type of radioactive goo, creating an unholy cricket army of the dead! Lock your doors people, 'cause da crickets be comin' for YOU!

MUSH ALERT!

I think I've found a great song to play at my wedding. Check it out:

Dido, "Thank you."

My tea's gone cold, I'm wondering why I got out of bed at all
The morning rain clouds up my window and I can't see at all
And even if I could it'd all be grey, but your picture on my wall
It reminds me that it's not so bad, it's not so bad

I drank too much last night, got bills to pay, my head just feels in pain
I missed the bus and there'll be hell today, I'm late for work again
And even if I'm there, they'll all imply that I might not last the day
And then you call me and it's not so bad, it's not so bad and

I want to thank you for giving me the best day of my life
Oh just to be with you is having the best day of my life

Push the door, I'm home at last and I'm soaking through and through
Then you handed me a towel and all I see is you
And even if my house falls down now, I wouldn't have a clue
Because you're near me and

I want to thank you for giving me the best day of my life
Oh just to be with you is having the best day of my life.

What do you think? Let me know in the Comments section below.

YAAY SOPHIE!

I'm surprised it's taken me so long to get a copy of this month's FHM, especially seeing as it has a spread on the delectible Sophie Monk within its hallowed pages. Man that chick really boils my buttons (By the way, that's a good thing.) ... but if you know me at all, you already knew that.

Crap joke of the day

I was in the frozen foods aisle of Coles the other day and I thought up this great joke that was so funny that I just had to share it with the world.

Q. What do get if you get a bit of Chicken Kiev and a slice of bacon?

A. Kiev'n Bacon!

MWAHHAHAHAHAA! I kill me!!

Everything zen

Due to popular demand (from zen) my Crazy Conversations with zen are now online. There you find 2 pages of drivel that some people actually enjoy reading. Check them out one time, wont you? Sorry for the lack of updates lately, but when it rains, it pours... know what I mean, eh? *nudge nudge wink wink* Eh?

Num num meat meat!

At the request of my good buddy, Ade, I am hereby announcing that we will be having a roast of some description on Saturday night for tea, shortly followed by some kind of social activity, including but not necessarily limited to the consumption of alcohol. That is all.

I'm Still Alive

Hi folks. Just a quick one to let you know that I'm still around, and to fill you in on what's been keeping me so damn occupied lately.

Wedding date -- December 1st, 2001. Those near and dear to me (you know who you are), keep that date open. You have been given plenty of notice.
Engagement party -- This is where you've been given not very much notice at all. Sorry. This has been quite disorganised. We knew what we wanted: just a casual get together with friends, with a BBQ at the lake in Shepp. But then there were complications such as no alcohol being allowed at the lake, etc. (That's been resolved... drinking's allowed 'til 9pm! Yay!) Well its this Saturday at 5pm at the Victoria Lake - The big BBQ area at the north end, with the swings ands stuff. Be there or be slightly pear-shaped. If plans change, relevant people will be contatced, and it will be posted here.
The church -- St. Brendan's Church in Shepparton has been booked. Its a lovely looking church, and the priest (Msgr. Jeffery) seems like an alright sort of bloke as far as preisty types go. There's a few couples/relationship exercises we have to go through first, but that's alright.
The reception -- Riviera Receptions in Mooroopna has been booked. It's a bit of a woggy venue, but we've chosen a really nice meal, and they take care of a lot of things for us. Speaking of the meal, if you're coming, don't eat for about a week beforehand. With 5 courses, there will be no shortage of food.
The photographer -- Dale Wright has been booked for the day. Everyone else is booked out solid, but he seems nice enough and I like his work. I had no idea that wedding photos were so expensive though.
Renovations -- Yep. I've been out in the back yard with Gracie's dad doing much of the digging and the raking and the concreting. We've made a nice little path running from the back door to the shed, and we've filled in the rest with top-soil, ready for new lawn. Nice garden beds are going to be laid along the side of the house too. Following that, we've got some painting to do as well. We've been trying to get everything done as soon as we can so I can sell.
House hunting -- We've eased up a bit on the house hunting. We want to make sure that whatever we get is perfect for both of us, whether we buy or build, we're willing to wait. Here's what we're doing. After I sell my unit, we'll be moving into Gracie's 3 bedroom house in town, and with a few renovations there, Gracie can run her beauty salon from there (If you have any suggestions for a good name for the salon, please leave them in the comments thing below), and there will still be plenty of room for us too. We'll probably stay there for about 5 years or so, then while we're there, we'll save our asses of for our dream home, whatever that may be.

So as you can see I've had my hands full recently. Don't worry. I'll get back into the swing of things as soon as things settle down. Ive got plenty of photos and Crazy Conversations to go online sometime in the near future, if only to give Jules something to read.

Mikey Gets Engaged!

Yep... Gracie and I are finally engaged. The story is way too long to put in one of these little boxes so you'll all have to read about it in the Output section. Enjoy.

Leave your comments here!

After much of the clicking and the rooting around, I've finally gotten this "Comments" thing to work. From now on, you'll be able to click that "View/Add Comments" link at the bottom of each news post, and you can leave a little comment for me and other visitors. Newspro has an add-on called kTalk which is supposed to make things easy... and it probably does when it works. I've had to scrap most of the code and re-write it by hand in ASP and perl. It also uses a database now. I'll eventually be moving a lot of the content across to the database too, so the groundwork is set for that now.
