Post something that made you HAPPY today.

I think mine fell off years ago.
It was in a small box, last time I checked...

Not having to go out before work.

Samoa winning the sevens world series.

The debut of the very first Dark Shadows trailer is only about 16 hours away!

so i was in class today and i get this random text message from my comrade asking me if i am free or at uni today so we can talk because she had some advice for me about centrelink and i was really touched because she was offering to help me totally out of the blue and she re-itterated her offer of a cheap room at her place. we arent friends, we are comrades- this is doing more for me than she has to. also we talked about marxism and said the organisation would be willing to book tickets for me up to the very last minute which is going out of their way to get me on an airplane and to the conference that i have been too cautious about getting excited for. and she also said she had mentioned it to another comrade and that comrade said she would be willing to provide supporting papers for my claim. i'm really moved by their consideration. they dont have to do this but they are. it is (partly) because it hinders my political activity to not be able to do stuff. i am learning the meaning of the word comrade all the time from them.

The weather It started out cloudy, but now it's nice and sunny. And on that happy note, I'm off shopping and catching some rays.

I bought an "ice chest" of Strongbow for $20 from Dan Murphy's, ie. 10 bottles in a thick cardboard box. I know, it's Strongbow which I usually turn my nose up at, but that's a good value boozy buy considering a 6 pack is $16.

Dan Murphy's are slowly losing the "discount" from their "discount liquor" store tag however. IGA Liquor has the same prices as them atm
We don't have a 1st Choice Liquor here.

I got to watch my shows that I pvr'd last night.

i am getting a house, and i very much wish to pay the balance of the cost. i have so far payed the deposit and the stamp duty, and i am eager to pay the rest, but my solicitor says that the tenant in the house has to be moved on, and i have to personally inspect the house after it is vacant to make sure it is empty and undamaged before i pay the rest to secure the title and move in.

the tenant is an old man who is single and i felt sorry for him. he seems to be rather poor and he payed only $200 per week in rent to live there.

one of the stipulations that govern when i can pay the rest of the money for the house is when he can be "moved on".

i am extremely anxious and want to pay for the house in full, and secure it as soon as possible.

i have pessimistic nightmares of my bank having a computer meltdown and my funds being frozen so i can not access them, or the tax office freezing my account because they have questions about my previous tax returns. i know that that is very much unlikely to happen, but i want to draft the bank cheque and have the title signed over to me as quickly as possible.

last week, i rang the real estate agent who is involved and i asked him what progress he was making in finding the old man another abode, and he said that he was very worried, because the old man can only afford a maximum of $230 per week for rent, and there was nothing in their database that was that cheap.

the real estate agent assured me however, that the old man would be out of the house by the 30th of march. i asked the real estate agent where the old man was going to go if they could not find him alternative accommodation, and the real estate agent said "if necessary he will go to a crisis centre".

i did not like that at all, and i was not going to let that happen, so i said that he could stay there until he found a valid place to live.

i wondered how long it would take, and i wondered in my (unfounded) pessimism if my funds would be frozen in the meantime.

i have an email alert system set up for cheap rent in the mountains, and yesterday i got an email from that alert system, and one of the houses was going for $200 per week, so i rang the real estate agent and told him about it, and he said that they had already discovered it, and that they had applied, and it is almost certain that the old man will go to live there. the old man inspected the place and he very much liked it, and the person who owned the place wanted a senior citizen preferably to live there, and all the other applicants are not senior citizens, and the real estate agent said that the old man would probably move there on monday, and i could move in to my house on tuesday.

i was very upset about displacing the old man from being able to live in his own place, and now i am relieved of that worry.

The Mogami speaker cable I ordered, that had been backordered, has been shipped... and a month earlier than expected!

Hah... Lace-Bane is easily amused >_>

My roommate is a sweetheart. She made me dinner because I don't feel well.

My little sister is learning how to roller blade, she practiced with my mom and i took some photo's :) so that made me happy!

I went out to visit a small art exhibiton by my dad, held in my town. I had a pasty from the butchers which I haven't had in a long time and it reminded me of my childhood, and I bought 2 bottles of Mountain Due and listened to some Praxis and Squarepusher on my Ipod. It was sunny and I felt free and content.
