It’s friday night, and I’ve just been to see Ghost World. Here’s the obligitory link to the movie on the IMDB. It’s a really quite weird movie. After High school, Enid (Thora Birch), a freak-and-geek goes on a journey after meeting Seymour (Steve Buscemi), a rejected old-music collecter guy in his middle ages. The movie seems to go nowhere, but the journey is one to be remembered. For the weirdness factor of this movie, and thought provoking events that happen during it, I give this movie ggggg out of ggggg, and put it in my top 10 list, but you might hate it. For a treat, wait till the end of the credits if you do watch it.

Ghost World
Friday, November 8th, 2002Mmm… winamp -> web
Friday, November 8th, 2002Yeah, BlogAmp used to be good. but with that kind of product you’re bound to be one up’d by someone. And hey, I’m not complaining! I have it set up to tell a php script I wrote what track i’m listening to, or last listened to, and it’s saved on the server, and then put on the sidebar there for your curiosity.
Vegas Coke Glass
Tuesday, November 5th, 2002Mufasa and MonkeyJay brought me a Coca-Cola Las Vegas glass. It’s weird, because it’s chrome at the top, and fades out down the glass to total transparent about 2/3s the way to the bottom. Couldn’t find a pic quickly. The glass is weird… but very very awesome. Cheers guys 
My First Blog (sorta)
Monday, November 4th, 2002Here’s my first foray into blogging. Scary huh?
Risky Business
Monday, November 4th, 2002Broke in my Risk board with two games of Secret Mission Risk in the weekend. If you’ve never played Secret Mission before, you are missing out on playing risk more often.
First game was 5 players, SmileyChris, Jeremie, Bert, Joel(?), and myself. Joel won with the mission to Destroy Green… which was me. Damnit. My mission was Destroy Red (Bert), but I spread myself too thin. I need practice
Second game was the next night, Smiley, Jeremie, Gareth, Paul and myself. Gareth is a seasoned risk player, and completed his Destroy Blue mission, with SmileyChris manning the blue pieces. My mission was Take Asia and Africa. I started with three of the four countries in Australasia, and went on to hold most of asia for the rest of the game, not actually holding the continent at any point though. Also, I have never seen a Secret Mission game with more than 1 cannon on a country. I think on Gareth’s winning turn he cashed in his risk cards for a whopping 55+3 units. I had 4 cannons on one of my countries, Jeremie had maybe 5 or 6 in western europe, and Gareth had a huge army in the middle east, which was preventing me trying to take Africa. But I’m happy I held most of Asia for so long.
If you’re in Wellington sometime, give me an IM or something and we’ll organise a game sometime…
