karaoke game

james got the karaoke game on playstation. maja and i are addicted, we've been karaoking for about 3 hours now. the neighbours are getting absolutely drilled. the game rates you on pitch and timing and then tells you if you are hopeful, a rising star, the lead singer or a hit artist. i'm usually the lead singer or hit artist and maja is usually the rising star. yas!! got her! i think we are both hopeful when singing the darkness though. the neighbours are extremely hopeful.

maja beat james in every song except "like a virgin".

"dont stop moving" by s club 7, the fun you experience singing that song is unimaginable


stevo siting
sitting outside cold rock last night, 10pm...i love him, love, real love

that's my boy

ok it's a blog onslaught today but b just came back with the news from eagles vs port that stevo kicked 8 goals 3!!

that's my boy...he's back

real friends

you gotta love real friends cos you can act and say whatever you like in front of them and we're all still friends.

just in case n forgets to write about this on n's blog t will do it here, cos that's what real freinds are for....right?

got home from outing last night at shotz with b who had drunk, in his own words "9000 beers", n had been out with us earlier looking very drunk, d was also there also looking drunk and j was there looking very bored. When i arrived home h and pb were still playing the pinny machine (@ 3:30am) from before my outing (@10pm). I went to sit down on the couch and h and pb yelled at me telling me not sit on the seat. pb told me that n had arrived home with HJs and sat on that couch and after several minutes of sitting, regurgitated the contents of his stomach all over the front of his jumper, he seemed to not know he had just done this and remained sitting. after about a minute he looked down at his jumper and a look of total shock and horror came to his face. he immediately jumped up and went to bed. The HJs was untouched but b told me he didn't think n would want it anymore so i ate it. damn you n! i was awoken by a phone call at 9:30 it was n's dad. B and his car were gone. I went back to sleep and when i awoke i could here voices coming from n's room. it was n's mum and n's dad, they were here for at least an hour, at least. In the whole 1 and half years i have lived with n i have never seen him chuck on himself and also in that whole 1 and half years i have never seen his parent come for a visit. What are the chances that the two events would coincide like that?

Anyway b came back and told us he had driven in his car after drinking in his own words "9000 beers". He got as far as the end of our street before he realised 9000 beers make you pretty much incapable of driving and he slept in his car.

i drank 3 beers in the whole night...a very proud and responsible t.

Facts
Ok so i did something about it. If anyone wants an interesting fact each day just email nai at his jojati account and you will be added to the facts mailing list...This is a list where you submit and receive interesting facts. Highly recommended for proud geeks.

I've had a lot of interactions with fringe buddies (friends outside "the group") in the last 2 days...I always make an effort with fringe buddies cos they sometimes offer new and interesting endevours and sometimes not. I'd have to say the last 2 days fit into the "sometime's not" category.

sms buddy
i saw g in the mall last night on my way to meet e and g pretended to not see me. Ok so what do you do in that situation? The situation is you are like the best of freinds via sms and you relate well when you are drunk but sober face to face interactions are uncomfortable. Say hello and the conversation might be in dangerous trouble of going nowehere, you could very well end up talking about the weather. Dont say hello and you're a snob. Personally a relationship based purely on sms is foreign territory for me so determined to extend the relationship to a normal and sober face to face interaction. i said hello. g didn't seem impressed that i had made an effort to interact and was very short... it seemed as though in the 2 seconds i had to process the decision i had made the wrong one.... but later he sent me an apology via sms....

that was nice of g and i like really like g but i think it might be safe to say g really likes sms and possibly the next time i am faced with the same situation i should not verbally say hello but send an sms.

excitable buddy
after my rather anitclimactic interaction with g, i met with e. Occasionally i meet up with e, cos e's a good guy but he's just really excited all the time. Not a bad thing just not something you want to be around all the time. At first e was less excitable than usual UNTIL we got back home and we put the crows on. It was as if he had drunk about 3 litres of red cordial... i guess that's ok, it's good to be passionate about something. after the crows lost, e took me to a fancy dress party with his drama friends and everyone seemed to be very theatrical...not very surprising but not something i could relate to. e introduced me to r who was dressed as a piss-weak superhero from late night televions called "night man", he had drawn a red circle on one eye socket and coloured the whole eye socket area in a permanent red marker. visions of r trying to remove the red marker were amusing. r was the most theatrical there and eventually i recognised him from one of e's plays. All i could think was that i had seen this guy i barely know naked on stage. I had to leave, i was there for about 15 minutes. god help me if e ever invites me to a play where he has to strip naked.

buddy to be.. or not
So there is this girl t who is about my age, she's into good music and we have nice short chats when i see her but it's primarily small talk. One night t sent me an sms saying we should catch up for a beer. Now this is a big step in the relationship and could end up similar to the conversation with g, but she seems cool so i said ok and we set a date. on the night she cancelled saying she had the flu, fair enough. One month later (today) i sent her a text to meet me up tonight for one our mutual friend's (h) gig and she said she still had the flu. Is that possible? t might be having second thoughts about tani.

h and s
i know h and i know s. I've always known h and s to be really good friends. h never says anything bad about s but when s talks to me he always bitches about h. i find that weird why doesnt he stop hanging around with h?... personally i like h and cant see s's problem. h and s are playing gig together tonight h on first then s...could be interesting.

www.interestingfactsandwhy.com

I was thinking that i'd like to get an email everyday that tells me a few interesting facts about life and why. Primarily scientific facts.

For example taken from http://www.didyouknow.cd

"Why does water not calm the tongue after eating hot spicy food?
The spices in most of the hot foods that we eat are oily, and, like your elementary school science teacher taught you, oil and water don't mix. In this case, the water just rolls over the oily spices.
What can you do to calm your aching tongue? Eat bread. The bread will absorb the oily spices. A second solution is to drink milk. Milk contains a substance called "casein" which will bind to the spices and carry them away. Alcohol also dissolves oily spices."

I mean that's the shit, isn't it?... unfortunately this site offers only about 10 of those and doesn't email them to you daily... there are plenty of sites that email you a fact with no explanation, for example i've seen a lot of this "Apples are more effective at waking you up in the morning than caffeine". The first thing i want to do when i read that is know why...instead the email just lists another random fact.

I cant tell you how frustrating a fact without an explanation is to me....after i read it, i had to know why? cos personally i cant see why an apple would be more effective...and after researching the topic i can safely say that i think it's bullshit.

ok this could be a bit geeky but i dont know when i was a little kid i used to study the atlas and read the encyclopedia and for some reason i thought it was fun....i only wish i remembered it all.
