So i'm left sitting here, staring into a beer, shaking my head at the same ol' loathing and fear.

Why Hello there fellows and fellowesses!

I know its been a while but I've been very busy with end of year college stuff, Super Mario Galaxy (it rox) and work so I haven't had even the slightest inkling to post anything.

The last couple of weeks have been quite fun, For our college module of managing projects we, instead of doing a full on theory module, decided to organise a trip to Stradbroke Island and it went off without a hitch. We departed from Runaway Bay marina at around 8:30am and were on the island for 8:45am which was alot quicker than I expected.
On the way there we saw one of the coolest things ever, a big black helicopter was chasing a guy on a jet ski through a track laid out by big cones, I have never in all my life, even in movies, seen anyone manouver a chopper the way this pilot was. He almost had the guys head off with the precision flying as he kept the nose of the Aircraft almost on the jet skis tail weaving and bobbing through the course, I felt like a kid watching Airwolf again.

Once on the Island we set up our area and partied a little, had an Indian breakfast and then meandered over to the other side and did a bit of body surfing in the sea which was fun, we then proceeded to cook the biggest BBQ ever and fill ourselves to the brim before playing some cricket and chilling for a while whilst I played with the spiders feeding them flies (they shouldn't have flown onto my beer bottle). All in all it was a great day out and a good change, I thank all my college buddies for organising this and Max the lecturer/teacher for letting us actually do the trip.

As I stated earlier I have been playing SM:G on the Wii recently, its damn addictive and very very different, especially the way you use the entire sphere of 3D to play the game and the different gravity and physics tricks throughout coupled with beautiful graphics makes it the best Mario game ever IMHO, I wasn't going to play it until I had completed LOTZ:WW and RE:4 but they are taking a back seat now as the temptation was too great:) although I'm slowly getting the feeling I want to be blasting mind controlled villagers to peices again! some of the enemies and scenes in RE:4 are very reminiscent of the creature in John Carpenters The Thing.

On another note its nearly Christmas! Although being here in this damn humidity and heat It really doesn't feel like it so I haven't got the Christmas spirit yet although I'm sure that will change once I get to Adelaide and see some family and have some good old English/Irish style celebrations.

So thats pretty much it, a bit of a bore for you all but it saves me writing a hundred emails.

To those I know at home I miss you all, except Colin, hahaha! only joking! to everyone else Thanks for reading (now please click some adverts so I can buy Lindsay something nice for xmas).

Tata for now.
