Rainy Day
Bah.
I'm stuck inside today as its decided to rain. This in itself isnt bad though, we're in the middle of a great big fucker of a drought here in Aus. Its almost comical too - every time we get a bit of decent rain to top up the dams (which are only at about 30% capacity) it falls over the city or Moreton bay. This sucks as it isnt falling over the catchment areas and we still have low dam levels. Oh well.
I'm a bit bored of late - my site for all things obscure and Asian (Asian DVD Club) was taken down when the swedish authorities , pressured by trade embargoes/restrictions from the US and it's fucking MPAA, confiscated servers belonging to the operators of "The Pirate Bay" - the largest bitorrent tracker on the web. This in itself isnt a worry as the Pirate Bay was up and running again in a different country within the week, however the place that ran these servers also ran ADC's and so i'm without access to old martial arts movies and the like. I only really used it to get old DVD's that arent easily available here in Aus. - Shaw Bros. and Golden Harvest stuff made in the 70's/80's etc. Regardless, it could be considered piracy by the long eyes of the law so i dont have much of a right to bitch about it.
I havent been (out) out in a while now. I think the last time was when the group decided to make an occasion of going to the local pub. Jess and a friend had plans to go clubbing that night but they didnt end up making the last bus into the City. The friend's BF is a bit of an insecure guy though - he cant stand to let her go out by herself let alone talk to other guys - he 'banned' her from doing that unless she okayed him to flirt with anyone (as he must have thought that's what was going on ~ paranoid). Bit of a double standard though - he flirts (and touches) other chicks away from her. Bet she doesnt know that.... Never mind, other people's troubles are their business i guess.
Back to going out....i think a mate's best friend is having his 18th on the weekend. Provided im invited to that i might end up going (the boys rang me yesterday arvo asking if i wanted to come round and join the piss-up, they were sposed to ring us back after dinner but i suspect they got to pissed and forgot :P). Jess has a bit of an urge to hit the clubs too, so we might do that as well. Who knows?
Keep well kids.
