Well I suppose you're all expecting a post

Those of you who are privileged enough to know me would probably be reading this now, thinking, "well it's about bloody time she posted something. And this better be good, what with her birthday being today. So she'd better write something damn entertaining, or else there'll be hell to pay." It's alright people, I don't get enough pressure...

I've just bought myself a bunch of technology. I don't know why, I just thought I needed it at the time. It all started with getting my first digital camera for free off the company. "Care to explain?" I hear you ask. Well, when you're in charge of office supplies... there are certain bonuses you get... for ordering a certain amount of supplies... and that's how I landed myself a nice little camera. Clever little rort wasn't it?

Never mind the legality. Geez, we're not interested in that. Next on the agenda... my recent purchases. Yes. I do actually buy things legally. With my own money.

Call it karma, but I recently bought a few things off our IT reseller. First thing was a tv tuner. Now, I managed to install the software for it... but in a cruel twist of fate, it wouldn't pick up any god damn channels. I mean, come on people. We're not in woop woop here. Where's the bloody reception? Anyway, I'll have to sort that one out later, maybe I'll sell it to my brother. Heh heh, shhh... it's our little secret.

So I'm thinking, ok, FINE. Surely the next thing will work. It was a Toshiba U3 usb key. A neat little package. Seemed a little complex for a usb key, (it even showed you how to attach the cap to the cord so you wouldn't lose it, isn't that nice?) but hey, I set it up at work, and it was talking itself up with stuff about how you can work off the drive as if it was your computer. Yes, well. ANYWAY. So I took it home, and what do you know. It fucking freezes my computer so I have to reboot the fucking thing. I couldn't even do a Ctrl-Alt-Del on it first. For fuck's sake. Why cruel fate? Why?

So anyway. I consider that repayment for my little rort with the camera. There's one more thing I've yet to try. My nice little Logitech 4 port hub. Premium it says. Well it fucking better work. Cos I'm not getting fucked 3 times in a row. Uh, let me rephrase that. I'm not getting rorted 3 times in a row.

On a brighter note, last month I went to the Korean Chuseok Festival in Darling Harbour. The highlight was this silent performance group called Nanta that gave us an amusing show, using knives and chopping boards as percussion instruments, and I got my name done in a calligraphic style by this old guy. It's a lost art, calligraphy. Who's going to continue doing what he does after he's gone I ask ye? No one with any talent that's for god damn sure.

That is all.
