Weekend Recap - Engagement Party

Adam and Kirsty had their engagement party on Saturday. It was pretty coo despite the lack of alcoholic beverage to lubricate proceedings. The food was tasty and plentiful. The guests were largely older and related to one of the happy couple.

Our gift was wicked coo - A massage chair thing and a foot spa. The foot spa was almost an afterthought, but it got the biggest "OOoohhh" by far. It may have helped that the previous 15 presents were all porcelain baking cookware. Adam was hella funny with his subdued "wow... thats... greeaaatt..." at some of the more awesomely practical gifts, like the cookbook holder.

Our card was also wicked coo and was always going to be the coolest card. Vj found it, but not after I told him repeatedly to keep lookin till we found the perfect one.

Friday was taken up largely by shopping for aforementioned gifts although it being my only day off last week I took the time to try and organise my extremely late insurance claims. One of the 2 is now ready to go and I will endeavour to get to a mailbox early tomorrow morning or afternoon at worst. Then I played some dance machine in Tuggers where there is a $1 machine at the cinema for 3 rounds which is pretty affordable. The machine itself is a bit odd in display and sometimes the menu goes funky, I think it must have loads of options for the uber pro ddr gamer. Then after tedious amounts of shopping and a late dinner at Vj's, I popped inside the Ignite Christian Rock Concert at Woden before an appearance at Steph and Cecilia and Ness' second housewarming (despite moving in well over amonth ago and having only travelled down the road).

Ignite was almost finished. I suspect Christians spontaneously combust at midnight unless they are fast asleep in bed. This is probably why Vampires so enjoy eating them! ;). Anyway, by 9.30 it was a wrap. What I saw was more of the same, Guitar, Bass, Drum band singing uptempo hymns. Anyone see the Hillsong thing in the morning? Probably not, but it was that type o thing.

Housewarming I wasn't up to. No alchohol, 4 days of work, being on my feet all day, and christian rock didn't float my boat. Had a bit of a chat then went home. I really need some soccer in my system. On Thursday I am gonna score so many goals. So many goals you won't believe.

Tomorrow it's back to work and Uni results. I already know there will be a FAIL waiting for me. First time for that experience, but I think I'm rather worried about it having a buddy too. Oh well, I'll deal with it tomorrow.

In the future - Thursday Soccer Saturday Bro's Bday (not that we doin anything but I gotta get him something somehow) Next Week Tasmania 2 Weeks after Xmas Few days later Melbourne New Years Eve Trashed off my face and then the New Year back in Canberra.
I haven't had a chance to do any of the writing and creating I had hoped to get stuck into yet. Hopefully I will have a chance to think about that effectively on the 2 trips I've got goin. I don't want to end up working away my inspiration, or wasting that time since time is clearly running out before the conventional life beckons. And if I keep up being exhausted after work and busy on the weekend, I may as well get a real job and compensate for my stifled imagination with a cushioned chair, a pinstriped suit and superannuation.

Finally - here are some pics and vids courtesy VJ's phone from the Sydney Trip.
