ugh that always ends badly! mongrels, spring '09

i'll defer to you, the expert, on that one

Oh BURRRNNNNN

severely jonesin crew

e: YES how did you guess?!

i had an unheavenly vision.

once b1lly br4gg was a surprise arrival at a party at my friend's house and later my friend said i had 'simpered' at him, which maybe i did.

teehee

bb once walked past me while i was outside work faggin on

so did t1m r0gers once, but that was less exciting

simper, fie

fie was my reaction as well, we are so alike.

HOO BOY HOW ABOUT THIS HEAT HUH

seems quite pleasant out there at the moment

oh man i can't mix for shit

The humidity is whats getting to me, wtf, Melbourne isnt meant to be humid!

WELL HI

hello

Made satay chicken skewers on my eleccky bbq grill out in the yard last night, and we (me R and N) all sat round with beers and poked at the bbq, it was the blokiest lols ever.

I wish my fecking wading pool would hurry up and get to me.

i love it that you're getting a wading pool.

i made some experimental trout & eggplant thing last night. tasted ok in spite of itself

I dont think Ive ever had trout! I get the impression it's a unique tasting fish - earthy?

where did you catch the experimental trout

he cooked it over a bunsen burner.

slowly turning it over with laboratory tongs

LOL

Have just also realised ocean and river trout two completely diff things. Ocean trout is like salmon.

I teach little hands-on workshops for the intro to biology course at the university here. The one I taught this week is about human population growth, and the students choose a country to research. I thought I wld share with you guys that the four semesters I have done this, every time at least a third of each class chooses Australia. Consistently stated reasons include it being "cool," "interesting," "an island," and having "kangaroos." American biology students love your country.

You should focus on how much ppl here are whining that out population is expanding too rapidly!

Population growth rate:
Field info displayed for all countries in alpha order.
1.195% (2009 est.)
country comparison to the world: 112

Is any country happy with its growth rate?

Yeah its not like we really do have a massive influx - the media are distorting things a bit. That said, we do have a very high influx of skilled migration and international students in recent years - to melb and syd anyway. And the problem too here is there is very very little arable land with water access. Hence people wailing about how we're going to run out of water and whatnot. Which considering Melbournes water supply is currently at 35% or something is kind of understandable.

But ugghhh if one more person says "fuck off we're full" I'll punch them in the nads.

<3 it or leave it imo

only utes have that sticker

once the baby boomers start dying off and freeing up housing stocks we'll be ok, imo

It always kills me when you see someone who moved here from OS themselves going "GTFO" to someone else, I mean what the hell?

It's hot! :(

37 apparently. My friend Dan just informed me we'd probably be eating "steamed Yampy" for dinner ;_;

Yampy is my cat :/

Whew. Just dropped 9 deg in 15 mins. Thanks Melbourne weather gods....

busiest day on mong thread in ages and i miss it ;_;

i caught experimental trout in supermarket cooler. it would have been tastier had i not accidentally frozen it in my fridge chiller

Does fish not like being frozen? I thought that was ok.

Looking fwd to havnign the house to myself tonight woo. The lads are going to see lightning blot.

the prob was that i didn't thaw it sufficiently so it was a little underdone in the middle but a little overdone on the outside..

Saw this on rage last night, seriously couldn't tell if it was a joke or not

the girls look so awkward

Holy shit I want the last 20 seconds of my life before I hit stop back, thanks,

That was quite a find.

Not quite sick enough to stay home from work. Sick enough only to come to work and infect my colleagues.

feeling not that bad for once. maybe this half-assed health kick is vaguely working..

hooray!

did you and thee casio get rained on or what

yes

but the beat magazine provided adequate protection. useful for once!

loool

the fookin' chipper was shut btw, no fish'n'chips for me u_u

so I will be in Melbourne this weekend :-)

for work :-(
