...And Articulative Agony Augments

Just a heads up people. I'm going to discontinue these alliteration blog titles once 2009 commences, and I'll implement a new titling theme. I guess the theme/pattern will change as each year passes by, if this blog even lasts that long.

Today I got my two lower wisdom teeth extracted, and while the extraction process was completely forgettable and unmemorable thanks to the injection, the post-operation condition could be better. Pain is existent but minimal. I just wish I could recover overnight and get back to living a healthy normal life. This means I'll have to cancel my blood donation tomorrow which is a shame because I was looking forward to stuffing my face at the hospital again.

In other news, I've been listening to a lot of Deathcore music. This was once a genre of music I promised myself I would never listen to back when I was a metal purist, but after taking the time to check out some recommendations, I'm hooked. Evident from my last.fm, I've been listening to a lot of Carnifex, Suicide Silence, Burning the Masses and All Shall Perish. While most of the music is generic, those bands make unique music.

Just to finish off, Mark has a new blog out which looks win, and is just as insightful as any column from the New York Times. Check it out here!

...And Adeiu Actions Arranged

So almost a week of holidays have passed and I am just dead-set relieved that these holidays will last until late February to early March. Apart from the nervous anticipations of my uni results, everything else is sweet. On that note, I do have the results for one of my subjects already. I guess the faculty was nice enough to release our results prematurely. I got a 69. Funnily enough, this blog post is my 69th. One pass out of four so far.

During the week I got together with my 'band mates' to record a farewell video for our dearest friend Gloria who left this morning for Hong Kong. She'll be there for a month. How sad. What's even more depressing is that she'll be discontinuing her studies at UTS next year. Anyways, the recording process took place at Jasmine's house and in the fields of Woodcroft using my trusty digicam. Our ever-reliable video editor Adrian put in the finishing touches to make it look something else ...

On Wednesday evening I drove to Baulkham Hills and picked up Tim and we were off to Fitness First at Norwest. That evening would be Tim's debut workout. It was fun showing him the ropes. Unfortunately for me, I can no longer bench the same amount of weights I used to when I practically whored the gym during the HSC year. On the bright side, we managed to score a free entry pass for the next time we visit which is great.

On Thursday we officially gave our farewells to Gloria by having a day out in the city, which comprised of Adrian and myself following Gloria and Jasmine around the city while they shopped, and watching 'Four Christmases'. A partially funny movie, but overnall not an enjoyable watch. Bye Gloria !

Here's a band photo !

Anyways there's a bunch of steaks resting on the kitchen bench just waiting to be seared. Bye.

...And All-Done.

First year of university.
Complete.

So what to do with the free time on my hands? I've started by whoring Seasons 5, 6 and 7 of Friends courtesy of Yen. I should have watched these along time ago, but I'm making up for lost time now.

Anyone want to hit up the gym?

...And AMF Allowances Acquired

This morning I had my first exam of four, which was for Marketing Foundations. It's always good to start the exam period with an easy subject since obviously it gives you a larger window to study for the harder subjects. I can now use this whole day, and most of tomorrow to study for my Economics exam at 6pm tomorrow ... (knowing me, I most probably will not take advantage of the time).

So what's with the blog title? I finally received my first payment from AMF Bowling, and it's about time too. I think a gym membership is on the table ...

But yeah ... on the subject of bowling, Jasmine wants to go bowling. That can definitely be arranged, but I believe more priority should be placed on Adrian's christmas party ...

Well that's it for now. See you after Eco !
