Day of the Rapture

I woke up this morning feeling slightly off.  I was coughing pathetically and aching all over.  It was 4 am and I was wondering what I had done to deserve being woken up at this time on a Sunday morning.  Then I realised I was going to work on a Sunday, so the Rapture was probably getting in early. Since the Rapture was set for 6pm, I figured it was probably according to American time and therefore I would be safe to sin for a few more hours yet.

After staring into my coffee for 20 minutes I finally got ready for work.  It was then that I realised it was raining.  Sign of the coming Rapture #2.  It was cold and wet and I bet God knows that I already felt like crap and was making me miserable on purpose.  And being sick it was the perfect miserable combination.  Not to mention there was a snail sleeping perfectly in the middle of my front door, right at eye height too. I eyed it suspiciously as I left.  I have lived at this place for 3 years and never once seen a snail... A sign of the coming Rapture?

On my way to work my MP3 player died and in the silence I pondered the situation I was in.  In the event of the coming Rapture, on a scale of 1 to 10, how screwed am I? Just the day before I had used very reliable flow charts to check whether I should prepare the choirs of Angels or the fire retardant blankets.  I decided that they probably weren't all that accurate.

Work was ok, but not great.  We had to go back to a ward that we DROVE DOWN THE STREET TO (yes, it is that far away) and that was a pain, but I think that sign of the coming Rapture was neutralised by the fact that we bought ham and cheese pies for breakfast.

Now, I am pretty sure that it is past Rapture o'clock and nothing catastrophic has really happened yet.  In fact, I have surfed the Internet at work all morning, had pie for breakfast and slept a little, too.  If this is the Rapture then, seriously God, you are going to have to try harder.  Pies are no punishment for the wicked.

Spam

On the forum where I spend a lot of my time, I am a moderator.  This sounds exciting. I look important. People look up to me.

Whatever. All I live for at the moment is SPAM.  I have become a spam crusader.  Defending the pages of the forum from the infiltration of nonsensical posts regarding Canadian Online Pharmacies.

'Want to get high on Tramadol?' ACCESS DENIED.

'Want free sexy times?' NICE TRY SPAM BOT.

I imagine myself wielding a Samurai sword, hacking the spammy posts into nothing.  I am the shining knight defending the innocent readers from unspeakable horrors from the Canadian Drug Smugglers.

The saddest part is when I check my blog, I am more eager to check for spam than anything else. I think I have issues.

Happy Easter

Happy Easter everyone!

I have always loved Easter.  I mean, it is the perfect holiday for kids really.  Christmas only works because of the sheer amount of food and presents, because lets face it - Santa is kind of creepy.  My sister never liked Santa in the shopping centres (although it never stopped her from accepting his presents!).  BUT EASTER.  Chocolate plus a small fluffy mammal.  PERFECT.  And this year we get 5 days off in a row.  Last Christmas it was only 3.  And it was stinking hot, as it is in Australia.

When I was a kid it was easy to see how cool you were at Easter. It was the volume of chocolate the Easter Bunny brought you.  Going on this gem of wisdom I bought as many Easter eggs this year as my budget would allow.  Why buy 20 Cadbury eggs when I can get 30 no name Australian made ones for the same price!  I bought two packets.  I had SOOOO MANY EASTER EGGS. I was awesome.  Until I ate the chocolate eggs I had bought.  It was like a chocolate chicken and a Japanese curry had an illegitimate love child.  It may have taken me 24 years, but I have finally learnt the lesson of putting quality above quantity.

Easter egg, anyone?

Zombie Short Film

Last night I was involved in a production for a Zombie short film.  Our awesome director/camera man/writer, Mark Skater, organised a fantastic crew and cast for an epic night of filming.  You guys should check it out.  The short film hasn't been released but there are heaps of photos and other vidz for you to check out.  Just look up Mark Skater or Makio Vidz on facebook.  Here are a couple of pics to whet your appetite!

It's not you, it's me.

Well… This is kind of awkward.  Kind of like going on a first date, not calling for two weeks and then getting a call asking to go out again… I would like to start off by saying I always meant to call, it’s not like I wasn't going to. But, you know, I got busy and had a lot of stuff on.  It’s hard keeping a blog when there is so much going on in real life.  I should have seen this coming, I should have known better.  My attention span is like 5 minutes and my longest hobby about 6 months.  It’s not you it’s me. But I promise I will get better, I will start posting those reviews I promised and I will make an effort to be more interesting.  This is the start of something new. HAPPY VALENTINES DAY. I promise I can change = )

Oooops.
