Soooo, what's been happening?

Well I'll be off to Adelaide again this afternoon so I figured I should fill in whatever reader(s) I have as to what's been going on. Well, apart from the loss of Travel Duck, things have been a bit all over the place since the weekend.

On Friday I went to Adelaide as usual and must have twisted something as I was packing up my car as I got some major backpain down one side all weekend and took Monday off to spend the day in bed and recover. In fact, on Monday I didn't even get out of my pyjamas, it was a great day, but I digress. I don't remember doing any weird twisting as I was packing up my car to go, but I must have, because not only did my back hurt for days afterwards but also my crapola knee (you know, the one that always seems to want to dislocate) is all puffed up and a wee bit tender. It's either I did something, or I'm getting old, and I just refuse to believe that!

So anyway, Friday night Alex was over and kindly shouted us some Hungry Jacks (bless him) then we had a night of Monopoly Tycoon. I discovered that Ivan plays differently when he has a friend there and was a downright PRICK (he he) so methinks we won't be playing that again for a while, for the sake of our relationship :D

Oh, while I'm at it, here's an example of what a legend Alex (a.k.a pacer) is. Despite being really really bad at Monopoly Tycoon, I can't believe his generosity (which, incidentally, might be why he's bad at Monopoly - you can't be a generous person and win that game). As everyone knows my budget is tight and so for the last couple of years I've been playing bf1942 using one of Alex's friend's CD key, who said I could because he never played online. But now the guy got ADSL, wants to play online, and I guess Alex felt bad for me so he went and BOUGHT ME THE GAME!!! And it came with BOTH EXPANSIONS!!! What an awesome guy!!!

Anywhoozles, so then on Saturday we had a LAN at Phil's place which wasn't too bad, it's been over 4 months since our last LAN and I like catching up with Phil, Paul, Jason, etc. In hindsight we didn't play that many games from memory, we just seemed to play the same ones for a few hours but it was still quite good. It was a late one so Sunday was quiet until I drove home, and then yeah, had Monday off and spent the day alternating between sleeping, reading and logging on.

So I'll be leaving here in a few hours to have some extra time in Adelaide this week. When they tried to convert data from the old database to the new one there were lots of problems so a few of us are going down to help them enter all the data manually. Gonna be a crappy couple of days work-wise but at least I'll be in Adelaide! Will try and write more over the next couple of days...
