Random Ramblings, April Edition

remember us when you post on Shyzer from time to time. we all feel so neglected. - Fellner

Well here’s your shout out Fellner. Fear not, for I have looked and looked for a Replacement Fellner, but I simply couldn’t find anyone over here as cool as you. Or who would let me call them a whore all the time.

Thanks to all those who commented on the entry below. I’ve already started typing the next edition, which should be up early next week.

I can’t believe that it’s already April. Before I know it, I’m going to be forced to leave this wonderful country and that is simply unacceptable. Anyway, after next week, Uni lets out for a two week break and if all goes according to plan, a few of us International students are going to hop on a train and start traveling around. Most of the Americans here are doing the normal touristy stuff, but we figure that since we’re over here to live, why not go and see how other Aussie people live? So in an attempt to do just that, we’re gonna try and hit up a few of the everyday, normal hometowns of some of our mates. Screw Cannes, Sydney, and Melbourne. Give us Dubbo, Nambla, and COFFS HARBOR (BECAUSE LIKE OMG IT’S THE BEST) any day of the week.

Two nights ago at dinner, Casey out of the blue mentioned that he liked the Shyzer Shuffle. After getting rid of the “oh dead God, kill me now” thought that I initially had, I asked if anybody else had seen it. 15 minutes later we were in Keeley’s room watching and laughing over the “dance” and the seizure given to our poor dog. By the end of the night, I’d given a few live performances and taught Karen the correct way to do it as well.

I’ve grown extremely tired with the current layout I have up. I’ve already begun looking at a few other sites whose layouts I want to mimic somewhat. I’ve also gotten the inkling to upgrade from MovableType to Wordpress and start using php instead of the shtml that I’ve got running now. The only problem is that I know absolutely nothing when it comes to php and I’ve already tried teaching myself once before. But now that I’m about to have Internet in my room, I think I’ll give it another serious go.

I received an e-mail yesterday from the Uni’s baseball team containing the rosters for this years teams. I only attending one practice (back in late February) and I was extremely hung-over seeing as how it was a Sunday morning. I played like shit, saw that it was going to cost me $300 to play just for three months, and decided that I wasn’t going to pay $100 a month for baseball. Well, apparently my hung-over, one-attendance practice was enough to place me on the 2nd grade team. (The grades go 1-6, with 1 being the highest.) I say this not to try and brag, since there is no way I should be on the 2nd grade team, but to show how few Aussie’s actually play the sport of baseball over here! It’s depressing actually. Thankfully, I’ve got opening day to look forward to. Looks like the ESPN channel over here is carrying the Red Sox-Yankees game at 1000, which you can be assured I will be up and watching.

And finally, tomorrow night is a night I’ve been looking forward to a bit too much. Gender Bender, where the guys dress as girls and vice versa. Needless to say, I can’t wait to see and upload any and all pictures that are taken. I’ve already lined up a purple dress with white polka dots to wear and a few of the girls on my corridor can’t wait to apply my makeup.

Yeah, I’m looking forward to this just a bit too much…

    I switched from Greymatter to WordPress a couple of weeks ago (not even that I guess.. maybe a week). I didn’t know a thing about php. lol But I just jumped in, and once you look through the admin side of WP, you start to get it. Plus, there are *plenty* of free themes out there to hold you over until you get the hang of php.

    A few of them did thanks to South Park, but I made sure to inform those who didn’t already know =)

    And Ally, thanks for the advice. You echo what I’ve read abotu Wordpress, so I guess I’m going to switch on over to it once I get the time, which hopefully will be soon rather than later.
