Lazy Uni Student

Yes. Absence makes the heart grow fonder. "They" say. I'm off. I won't be blogging for a while till i get myself setup up again. I'm moving to Wellington, but I've only got friends sofas to sleep on, and I don't have a job, or money for that matter. Rest assured, however, that when I get blog active again, the new address will be posted here. See you all in a few weeks!!

Sorry I havent posted in a while folks. I've been without net for the last few days, and prior to that I was in the midst of a three day LAN session, which came after a great weekend in Auckland city for a Halloween party. Oh yea. (sorry about the clone high vcds paul! email me your address and i'll send em up to ya)

So if you've been missing your Lazy fix, i'm sorry, but rest assured a few random thoughts have been stewing away in my brain, and they're almost cooked to perfection, tasty morsels that'll make you forget all your troubles, and make life worth living again. Oh yea.

Been watching Family Guy, v funny.
Saw The Day After Tomorrow, v average.
Saw Scooby Doo the movie, better than I thought but not amazing.
Got a hot copy of Team America World Police, funny/crude.
Saw The Corporation. Mind blowing stuff. Required viewing for all.
Been listening to Fat Boyslim's new album - Palookaville. Me likes.

Put up with the Edge radio station a lot last week 'cos they were giving away iPods. didnt win and was subjected to far too much top 40 rubbish. It's gonna takes weeks of listening to good music to remove the catchy hooks of eminem's apppaling 'just lose it' or the whiny tone of Natasha Bedingfields voice in that song about not being able to find the words to write a song. So original.

Well, thanks to all my music loving/sharing friends, I have passed a milestone. Just yesterday I uploaded my 6000th song to my computer. Wow. Now, I have 6159 songs, thats 26.31 gig, or 17.8 days of music. Half of it I still havent listened too. Literally. That really is crazy. I have more music than your average radio station. The retail value of all this music, 505 albums@NZ$24.95, equals $12,599.75. So, assuming I paid for all this music, effectivly I've wasted $6,000 or so dollars on music I havent listend too. Hmmmm.

So as to why I don't watch rugby/play with fence posts? (in response to the comment by colinmeads, presumably not the real Colin Meads.) I don't have time, too much music to catch up on. Besides, you can't convince me that young virile men staring at other young virile men throwing themselves at each other for 80 minutes, somehow reinforces a mans masculinity. Sounds kinda gay to me.

Lets put it this way, the only women I know who watch rugby, watch for one reason, and one reason only.

This ones for Matt

I managed to get my own poll put on the site! Nice. So vote already, it's completely anonymous, you don't have to sign in just two clicks of the mouse and you're done.

I appreciate the irony too, the poll which questions the appearence of the site actually makes it look even worse, but hey, I don't have the time/patience to really learn HTML and sort it out. Maybe Steve will help me out...

Well I guess this time had to come. The inevitable change of template. This is all a warm up exercise tho. In the next couple of months I'll announce the new blog by Sam. In order to reflect changes in my life, and situation, a new blog is called for. The move to Wellington, the change in lifestyle, the increase in real world people I have contact with, all needs to be summarized for your reading pleasure in a brand new blog. When I feel I have the direction/style /tone of the blog I shall let you all know, and lazyunistudent shall go and join utterly pointless in blog heaven.

edit - It seems my new template has lost comments. Don't fret. I'm on the case. When they're fixed up you can all comment and tell me how much you love/loathe the new look. BTW thank you to Blogger Templates, for the sexy new look.

I feel like I've been on a desert island for the last year, isolated, out of touch. But apparantly I've been away for less than a week. Hmmm. I went down to Dannevirke and stayed with my parents, tripping all over the lower north island arranging/attending funeral stuff.

My parents house does have the internet, but because they're in an out of the way small town that Telecom doesnt give a toss about, the internet speed there is extremely slow. Makes my dial up look high speed. So checking emails is the only net I've had for the last week. My RSS aggregattor (Feedreader) nearly choked yesterday when I plugged it in to the net, I currently have about 700 unread headlines. Whoa. Down from nearly 1000.

I don't have much else to say at the moment. Uni is over, just a couple of tests now. I don't know whats happening with the rest of my life, apart from moving to Wellington, as soon as possible.
