thursday nites

does anyone else here get really excited about thursday night television. i'm sure i remember some of you being reality t.v. freaks like myself. and i know kaet watches amazing race. and indeed thursdays are non-stop entertainment! i am so excited about the amazing race even though my two favourite teams- the two old people and the war veteran and his daughter- have been eliminated but how sweet was it when that damned midgit got booted last night?, i breathed a healthy sigh of relief because i simply couldn't stand those two!! i wanted to scream at midgit and tell her to go back to her mini-house and sit on her mini chair and eat mini food. ugh! and how rude is colin?!?!?! ugh! but that's not all, extreme makeover was awesome too, how the two freaks got remodeled and fell in love, awwwwwwwww. she turned out a hottie and well he was still slightly munted but at least they gave him a hair cut and a shave. and last but not least the apprentice and how joyous it was for stacy to be fired, she just didn't shut up and she was also a midgit, and i have no time for small people, hahahah, sorry...but i don't think any of you are small. my only worry is that i will have to work on thursday nights and i might miss some of my quality thursday night viewing- i can just imagine what tama would be saying about our obsessiveness and television and he'd say something like "how about read a book?" or whatever but the truth is he loves buffy and i think we have a right to love the amazing race just as much.

live on amazing race!

Some random ranting ...

Hrm, I'm still recovering from exams, and I should be sleeping, but I'm not. So I think I'll randomly rant on this blog instead.

Does anyone else think it was odd that the "these are the changes to HECS next year" letter we all got last week was signed by the Vice-Chancellor? (actually you guys are all finishing, so you probably didn't get it, but anyway). I've never received anything signed by the VC ... ever! The HECS letters are normally all signed by that bloke Harvey from Student Admin. So I thought that was a rather momentous occasion, even though it was just a cover letter for a government brochure.

Also I found out that Google is beta-ing a search engine for academic articles ... oh how I wish that'd been out when we were doing webliographies! Unlike normal Google this site doesn't return crazy neo-con links when you type in "pornography", which was my essay topic :-)

By the way, you may have noticed my display name is now different ... in case you're wondering, yes this is still crazy Aaron, no I have not been abducted by aliens (well not recently), but I have finally decided to drag my Blogger profile into line with what I use on every other site. So now you know.

Yay for no more exams!

Woohoo! I am now free of the horrors of exams for another semester. Alas I am not graduating, which means it starts all over again in six months ...
(I'm not the last exam stresser out of us, Orietta has another exam tomorrow ... I think? If so good luck!)

I shall now celebrate. By sleeping. Nightey-night, y'all :-)

FREEDOM

hello all, please add me to the list of people (hoping with results pending) to be getting a piece of (toilet) paper in march!!!!!!!

oh yay oh yay oh yay!

now i just have to wait to the 17th of dec to see if i got into the dip ed!

i will promise to write more stuff now - that's if the uni doesn't take away my internet connection...

hehehehehehehe

oh and guess what i have a new toy! it's called the "Urbz" of course it's not as cool as the sims, but it is for ps2 which is the only thing i have that will run any simmy things and its set, funnily enough in the urban ghettos.... anyway the soundtrack is super dooper because its all the black eyed peas (which you would find in the urban section of sanity, in case y'all were wondering) and they sing in simmy voices which my flatmate thinks is silly because if they bought the rights to the music, they could have afforded the words aswell, but i think it is all part of the simmy feel. and of course the urbz is way way way way WAY more commercialised the whole game is about buying things in order to get the right image and rep and doing all the essential things like sleeping are sidelined and take very little time.... i won't analyse this i think its pretty overt... but it pisses me off a bit i kind of like the old naive sims.. buy hey i am not complaining because my friend bought it for me as a present so yeah and i am still hooked.......

okz i promise i will get around to organising cranium night now. prolly not this weekend, not next weekend but the weekend after okz?

exams are over for the kitmeister

yes w00t! i just got out of my final exam. it was three hours, i finished it in one, go figure. so here i am in the multimedia lab blogging away, i can't help myself! i'm part of four blogs now! maybe it shouldn't be WE ARE ALL CYBORGS but instead, we are all NERDS!! is anyone else graduating arts in march? i went to the grad page and we have to wear a blue hood- blue? how boring, i was hoping for cyan or at least magenta, maybe the boys would complain about wearing pink?!?!? wow i'm so excited about graduating, even though it's 4 months away. but three years has gone by so quickly. has anyone read the acrobat thing about all the "offers" available, like dvd's, photos, framing etc etc, it's a pretty big deal- i'd better start saving! ($$$) though i'm not sure about the dvd, that could be very long and boring, then again, with a bit of editing i could make my own version of the graduation and uhm, it'd be mediatastic...dubb in a bit of music, eminem rap style...

"yo yo yo, donchoo be late
coz now it's time to graduate
lookin' way fly in roy-al blue
nerdin it up's the right thang to do.
gotcha certificate in yo' hand
graduatin' it sure is grand
make way for the bachelors, i'm sure ya'll know
dat deese snoop doggs aww gettin real wit da flow"


anyway, forgive me if i don't write much over the holidays, i'll have limited internet access, but it doesn't mean i don't love you all! hope that you're all doin ok with study and etc *coff* kaet *coff*.

So this is the new blog!

Good afternoon and welcome aboard New Blog Airways, we trust you will have a pleasant and entertaining time while you're with us :-)

So this is the best I could rustle up over the weekend when I really should be studying (hmmm ...). I acknowledge that the template is a tad iffy, since I chose it in much haste. I will get around to creating an all-new template just for us, but for now I am a bit preoccupied with exams (I have five of them!). So unless any of you want to volunteer, you'll have to wait about a fortnight.

Also on the iffy side is the name ... "cyborgminions.blogspot.com" is the best I could think of in a hurry, particularly after reading Katio ("YOU ARE ALL CYBORGS WHETHER YOU LIKE IT OR NOT") and Kat ("later my minions"). Nobody has presented anything better, so if you have any suggestions, I'm open ...!

Any suggestions, ideas for change, etc., just let me know. If it's a big change it'll have to wait, but anything minor (e.g. if you guys want admin rights) and I will, er, try to guarantee service with a smile :-)
