The Method

weblog Monday, November 7th, 2005

 

Two assessments down, one to go. Then I’m free! FREE! Free at last! Well, free in the ‘unemployed’ sense of the word but hey. I promise, once I’m done with this crap, to go see some actual movies and review things for Grapefruit that occurred after the beginning of the millennium. And that aren’t television.

Also, I’m meaning to slightly rejig the weblog so we can have footnotes in them. I’m lost without my footnotes. If I could have, this would been a footnote.

Just thought I’d share some advice with everyone. If it’s about 5:30 – 7:00pm, and you get a phone call from a private number, and you say “Hello?” and no one answers for about three seconds, hang up immediately. It’s almost certainly a call from a market research person, probably in India, and if it isn’t then I’m sure they’ll call you back.

This has been a public service announcement from Grapefruit.

    It takes me about three seconds [or minutes] to say hello in the first place. What now?

    Not fast enough. This method’s not for you. Perhaps you could just tell them to go away.

    I like to pretend that I’ve been bitten by a spider while on the phone to market researchers and I only have a few minutes to live but I happily spend it with them.

    Freedom is overrated.

    I reckon I’ll enjoy freedom for about three months. Then it’ll start to get to me. But there’s no point worrying about that now.

    I don’t believe you. I wish I did, but I don’t.

    Oh, I just lied to them. Right in the ear. And once they catch on that I’ve been lying… hehe

    Btw, Andy, gigantic dorm party is heading our way. And next semester’s special: the demolition party.

    Hayko, I’m buying airplane tickets with my coporate Amex as we speak.

    Laminex is having their Christmas party in two weeks at the Melbourne Aquarium. It will be a swanky affair. I’m allowed one guest and people might think we’re gay as everyone else will be taking their partner but free food and drink. Interested?

    Note to self: Live on campus next life when studying.

    Sweet! Don’t worry I will be dancing, which means two things: 1) I can’t possibly be gay once they see me. 2) The girls around us will prove otherwise without doubt.

    I got another 46 invitations for my dorm party. Anyone you’d like to tag along?

    Why would anyone think you were gay, Hayko? I mean, apart from your hair.

    I wonder what exactly he meant to convey or achieve, but Andy suggested it. Don’t ask me or for that matter, comment on my hair: My hair is so 80s and that’s good. People remember me, if only by my hair.Now yours…
