More from the guy noone ever reads

I have a new(ish) desktop. P4 2gig, 20mb hdd (ive not yet filled my old 10gig so its plenty). Its got a nice small footprint n blows my old 700 celeron away speed wise as youd expect. Best of all it was free! The gurls' brother had no further use for it n was gonna throw it out. All I had to do was install my DVD drive into the gaping hole in the front n voila. New puter. I have to fiddle with the general settings etc.

We got hosed at cricket on saturday... did a good job bowling n fielding to restrict the enemy to 97. We fielded absolutely fantastically. Vastly improved. We batted like well... hmmm how to put it... 'poorly' just doesnt seem strong enough. Craptacular it were. Top score was 9 n no I didnt get it. I scored a nice round number me. 5th ball duck. Yay. we got flogged the week b4 too but i cant be blamed for that as I was in melbourne.

Got nearly all my Xmas shopping done tooo. Gotta get dad something n the gurl something extra n my sister. Then its done.

So Its Raining Like a Bastard

Luckily ive been in Melbourne since last Thursday (it is now the 13th you work it out). At home it has been raining like, well, see above eh. I was mucho disappointed to be missing 2 weeks of cricket but instead have missed nothing ehehehe.

Ive scored 3 cool things here in melbourne. This is beginning to be a habit microbox.
I bought a Raleigh 10 speed racer for the princely ransom of $10. It is in super condition. It even has the original Raleigh branded tyres installed STILL holding air. It is now officially my melbourne rider.

I am now the proud owner of a Motorola Razr shoephone. Camera, mp3 player, big numbers for my stubby fingers to hit AND it is easy to send txt msgs which was handy as i won 60 free sms's when I recharged my phone. Sweet. The poor girl who now has my fathers' old shoephone number as she received a couple of my txts by mistake lol. She ended up ringing me to ask me why.

I found a 700c front wheel for my Peugeot. It is a Shimano Altus in aluminium. The bearings are sweet and the rim is i think perfect. I MAY shout it an actual new tyre and tube. Not bent or buckled. $5 at the Geelong recycling centre. Pity its rear friend was not present :/ as it is the rear wheel I really need. The current rear has 2 spokes broken and is not as straight as it once was when it was a newer younger steel microbox wheel.

I hope my dog is not annoying my mum tooooo much hehhe. She is visiting while I am in Victoria. We go to Bendigo on friday then home monday.
