November 21, 2002: November 21, 2002Mail RedirectionI have two mail redirections going at once now as I have moved so much in the last 6 mths. With Soap moving next week it'll be my third. After moving so much and now having to move office it's kinda funny. Luckily Soap doesn't own much crap so it's nice and easy. What woudl happen if you had your mail redirected to one place then redirected back to the other. Would the letter just stay in this continous loop? Also can you ask for letters to be delivered on certain dates far into the future. Like in Back to the Futre 2? If so do they charge extra? You could use the post office to hold onto stuff while you go overseas then get it delivered when you get back. Note: that Back to the Future 2 was the only movie I owned as a youngn' and thus the movie I have seen more times than any other movie. It wasn't even a legit version. Justa dodgey copy from a family friend who had an illegal video copying shop in her spare room. November 18, 2002: November 18, 2002Bean Bag MysteryYou buy a bean bag and fill when you buy it. 3-4 months later its looking a little sad so you top it up. Months pass and you buy more beans. And so the vicuous cycle continues. Will my bean bag ever fill to a point where it never needs to be filled? I mean I understand that the beans get squashed but after a while (6 years) shouldnt the beans that are squashed fill the actual space inside the bag?? Or do the bean manufacturers have a sinister plot to make people buy their beans forever. And if the beans do hit a critical mass that they never need to be filled can't I just buy pre-crushed beans in the first place and pay that extra cost, knowing I will never have to sit on the bus form the supermarket with a giant bag of beans under my arm? Also what is the record for the worlds biggest beanbag? I mean theres a Guiness Record I think any seamstress could tackle. Forget beard of bee's thats too dangerous. Book ShelfI bought a bookself on the weekend and only had two arguments putting it together with my GF. Thats a record for a big fiddly piece of furniture. If only everything was inflatable it woudl be so much easier. The bookself which cost $250 means I now have easy access to the $5k+ worth of books I have bought over the years. With a huge total of 2 novels. Add this with the 280 CD holder I bought, I have never been in a positon to access all my crap so easily. I can now flick through all my CD's in one easy CD holder book. Ive boxed and put away the silly cases that I never organised. November 12, 2002: November 12, 2002Cold Banana's???I was given a puzzled look by Rob today after he found out I had put a banana in the fridge and was planning on eating it. Am I the only person that likes cold banana's?? Is there anything wrong with doing it? I prefer all my fruit to be cold. In fact I put all biscuites in the fridge. Even pizza shapes taste better cold. November 07, 2002: November 7, 2002Box of CrubBox of Crub (n) The name given to a box of things you have collected since highschool but have yet to use. Items may include the following: Throwing out CrapThe best bit about moving is throwing out all the crap you collect. Its the never ending quest to have the perfect amount of stuff. Not too much crap, just enough. I must have had 30KG of useless postacards, paper and other stuff lying about. Now it's all hopefully been recycled. Every move you throw more and more out. I've moved three times in 12 mths so im getting close to the optimum level of crap. Moving also makes you apprieciate the things you own that were good purchaces (fridge, TV, couch, microwave, bed) and regret the ones that were bad (table tennis table, extra large TV display unit) The more shit you buy and collect the more that shit owns you. The more you will never use any of it. I'd say having a house fire and losing just your possesions is a good thing. Stuff the photo album too. Starting from stratch (with a nice insurance payout) would be great. Which reminds me I better get insurance. November 03, 2002: November 3, 2002 |
