shindig nation

Last night Jordan had his first “Shindig-Nation”.

This is a once off occasion, where for one night and one night only, jordan’s house is declared as a seperate nation from Australia, for the purpose of a shindig. Passports will not get you in here, only an invite. There are now laws, rule, morals, or ethics, and Australia currency does not exist – it’s the currency of alcohol that matters!

Anyway, it was great fun. Jordz made some of the best pizzas, if not THE best pizzas I’ve ever had, my favourite being the one with blue vein cheese. We got to meet some more of his work mates, and caught up with some of his uni mates, and even some of Vi’s mates. I have now learnt the A and E chords on one of jordzys guitars, and intend on borrowing one from him for the purposes of learning the guitar :)

NICE ONE JORDZ! Party of the year.

new world ranking!

An awesome surprise from my brother Mike tonight – Team_Bammann has made it to a new world ranking: 1822. This break in the top 2000 is due to a result that Mike returned. Nice one, Mike. He’s going to be doing some smaller numbers for a while now, before returning to the big gun ten million digit numbers.

Tonight I made an awesome Country Keiche, using pastry mix. Next time I make it I’ll write it up with the recipe, and add a photo maybe!

Tonight I measured the distance of the last run that I did, which I thought was 21km. I was bitterly disappointed to find out it was only about 18.5 – this means tomorrow I’m going to go get some non-chafing shorts that I can run in till well after the sun goes down, through the night, and into the next day, and smash this 21k barrier.

Today I confirmed with Jesse and Laura the details for catching wombats on Tuesday night, for Laura’s honours science project on a wombat skin disease called Mange. It should make for an interesting meeting Wednesday moring at work!

Today I’m still working on the layout for my first LaTeX2e typesetting document, for my research proposal for work. Hopefully I can show some good work next week. Yesterday I stayed home and worked on the computer for about 16 hours. Even when friends came around for pizza and a movie, I somehow managed to miss the movie and keep working. I’m really “in the zone” at the moment. It’s scary.

Gap in time…

Well I haven’t posted any stuff on here for a bit, but randomonly I’ll try and note some of the events since the last post.

It’s my Dad’s birthday today, so happy birthday Dad!!! :-D I’ll see you tomorrow night at dinner! :)

I learnt how to play the D chord on a guitar at Jordan’s house on Sunday night, with Ben and Adz. I guess you could say I’m pretty confident with the “D”. I made a song about it, too!

Monday and Tuesday night we had Brownyn and Kim Celebrity Chef for us, and that should be written up ASAP. I am falling waaaay behind with C.C. matters, but shall hopefully catch up over the weekend.

Last night Kami had her going away drinks, and we will all miss her dearly. I can’t remember exactly, but I’m pretty sure she’s going to meet up with Sarah at some stage, which I’m sure then they’ll both have an awesome time! Speaking of which, I haven’t heard much from Sarah which probably means she’s quite well occupied and enjoying her time!

It’s uni holidays at the moment, and I’m getting some good work done here now that it’s a bit quieter. It’s getting a lot harder for me, I’m in the middle of doing some (fairly) difficult maths I never thought I’d have to do after I finished my last ever maths subject.

Other news, I’m hoping to do some work for a friend of my parents, an entrepreneur. Hopefully I’ll get some first hand experience of what it’s like to start a business, which I’d say should be a very good investment of time and effort. I went to a “commercial perspective” workshop on Tuesday, which has stimulated my entrepreneurial curiosity again since high school days.

I’ve also decided this week I’m definitely going to go to the Mallala race track to practise some more advanced riding under instructor supervision in “bike school”. I plan to get my next bike around November, so learning this bike well should relatively improve my bike skills greater in the long run.

I almost forgot – I had lunch with Toey last week – It’s amazing and inspiring to talk to him every time, this time he told me he had just been practising tennis this morning, and I asked him who with. In a completely normal/casual tone of voice, he dropped the name of a famous female tennis player, like top ten sort of thing!
