Update:

Autopsy report said it was a large liver tumour that (probably, still some details to come) ruptured. Essentially he would have felt pain, pulled the car over, passed out and died in his sleep. Hopefully.

Funeral at 1130hrs in Canberra on Monday.

If there is a plus side, it's that I've been speaking to a few people I haven't been in contact with for a long time.

I'm getting a "Big Chill" kind of feeling. I've suggested one of the guys down there do a 90s soundtrack for the wake. Just the good stuff, mind.

Cheers,

La Sombra, will miss his great mate Jim. A lot. RIP ya big bastard.

EPIC hangover. Going to be sick now. Bye

[caladanbrood]

Toby's text updates on his night yesterday were amusing. Apparently he stole a wingmirror. Twice.

[Thelomen Toblerone]

I have no recollection of admitting to such events. Jesus, I must text on autopilot when drunk. My head still kills, even after a 3 hour nap. Luckily the wonderful missus has trotted off to get me a McDonalds to make me feel better (it's a lovely tradition we have) and is making lamb stew for dinner.

Ah well, now I never have to move to get to a mirror. Portablez FTW!

work = unbelievably dull today

[Abyss]

Winter drivers. not even 3 inches of snow on the ground and the idiots multiply.... yes, yes, leave your brake lights covered by snow, yes, just clear a small viewslit, yes, leave no space between cars so if you skid you can plow right into me, and yes, talk on your cel, have a smoke and a coffee AND fix your lipstick... in mitts.

There is a certain poetic justice in the fact that when someone follows too close and rear-ends you, the laws of physics dictate that, usually, their car takes most of the damage.

Abyss, what you need is a

[Raymond Luxury Yacht]

So sleepy. Can't go home for an hour though. I needs a nap.

[frookenhauer]

What a shit day, saw 1 client that needed a witness, another cancelled, anothers' mum got taken to hospital. Nobody I talked to today wants to see me next week. Grah! Thank crunchie its friday tomorrow...

[Thelomen Toblerone]

4 hours of lectures/seminars now, followed by a list of dull chores and cleaning that need doing where I may have created some sort of corned beef layer effect to the kitchen by opening a tin via the "stab with knife vigouorously" method. Then to a party I dont want to go to, and then theoretically starting my essay. Well, one of them.

I've got no halloween costume

[frookenhauer]

I'm feeling surprisingly guilty for having skanked off work today.

[Dag]

A horrible day at work yesterday - I believe I have angered the Poodle Gods, and now they're hitting me with everything they've got. Fell asleep in the subway on my way home. Missed the Halloween party I was quite looking forward to go to. Crawled into bed, couldn't sleep. Started cleaning the apartment. Was saved by Mr. B who dragged me over to his place to watch a horror movie with him. Wasted 2 hours of my life on the most boring movie I've ever seen. Had nightmares all night long. Woke up tired, went back to bed after breakfast and slept whole day long.

A really shitty way to start a weekend.

[caladanbrood]

Urg, our boiler has broken down, and the guy doesn't know how to fix it. Hence no hot water or heating, and it's close to freezing outside anyway. Also no showers for a while. Eugh

[Dag]

Damn you, Poodle Gods! Leave me alone!!! Now that I finally got enough sleep and tried to save what remains of my weekend... Grrrr!!!!! The stupid game won't work! Why don't they start selling technicians along with each game CD?!? And the game description in the manual should actually be: "Prepare yourself for 30 hours of thrill and adventure with this amazing game... after you've spent 1.000 hours looking for patches, updates and upgrades because we are too stupid to make a game that will properly work on your completely functional and up-to-date computer. But we are glad to take your money anyway." Damn, damn, DAMN!

[Tapper]

My digital tv receiver broke down, and now I'm currently spending time that I will never get back on Exit Wounds. 'tis a sad day when Steven Seagall on a motor cycle is the best thing on television.

It pales when put side by side with Dag's gaming problem, though. Games that are brought to the market too soon are teh suck.

[Tsundoku]

My work evaluation was about what I expected, but expected shit still stings as much as surprise shit.

I love it how I'm expected to be as good as the guys around me on something that I have had about 1/10 (at best) of the time on as they have. Also, the old axiom holds true - work your guts out and noone notices, but take a 5 minute break and apparently you're not working as hard as the others. Considering half my day is spent quietly cleaning up after them, I thought the low evaluation on "teamwork" was a tad harsh ...

Ah well, I guess I just have to add a few more teaspoons of "harden the fuck up" to breakfast from now on.

Cheers,

La Sombra, thinks of the $$$

[Centzon Totochtin]

I has a twinging back and I have no idea why, it hurts

[Dr Trouble]

I was eating a toblerone, and I had something on my finger that I took for chocolate so I licked it off. Whatever it was it sure as shit wasn't chocolate. My tongue is fucking numb!

[frookenhauer]

Sick as a dog today
