LAB077 Apple Shoppe Chermside ~ hollah if U R Amerrrican!

LAB. You’ve waited YEARS for this podcast, and it has finally arrived… just like the brand spanking new Apple Shoppe, Chermside! :-)
. Yay, Brisbane finally has an Apple shope (that’s Apple Storrrre in Ameerican).
I got up at 4:30am to drive over and line up outside. It was fun, but highly weird and embarassing when the whole “USA! USA!” Apple-cheesiness hit.

oh, I got the free t-shirt too. But now, back to study for my exam on Monday, “Politics of International Law”. Aw… poopeeeee :-(

PS- Mr B reckons Judge Judy earns $30 million a year! Can you believe that? I really think she is too big for her boots at times, and totally blows the bollocks out of some of her customers. Poor things.

LAB076 GrindR $20,000,000

LAB. My love life is on the up and up, thanks to GrindR app for iPhone! The hot guys are sending me SO many messages, that I just don’t know who to choose. ;-)

. Other half of the show is my drive home from work last night, where I talk about dress code at work; being a Commonwealth public servant. Also, on a slight bummer, I talk about almost getting sacked too. If you’re gunna make a mistake at work, you might as well make it a BIG one!

1 more sleep until 1st Apple Shoppe opens in Brisbane. Should I sleep there tonight?

LAB075 Judge Judy don’t need no Evidence

LAB. Evidence exam is over (let’s hope forever). I am watching Judge Judy as I record – for inspiration! I fantasise just briefly on the cute black fella in the dock ;-)
. I cover some listener feedback, and say ‘thanks’ for your encouraging words and well wishes today.
. After a slightly inappropriate story about stoopid American tourists in the UK, I reminisce about living in a city with seasons. i.e. London.
A quick update on my new flatmate, and the toilet situation.

LAB074 11 November Rememberance day

. Otherwise, this show has the 10 minute drive home.

. Thursday morning is D-day for my Evidence exam. :-(

Call, email, or comment on the blog. Thanks.

LAB073 Down the drain & Berlin Wall

LAB. I tried to do a quick show, but ended up taking me a bloody HOUR to do. Stupid iPhone crapped itself and stopped recording. This quick podcast has taken 1.5 hours :-(
. Here is a toilet update, and new flatmate update.
. Oh, and in world affairs tonight, I talk about the 20th anniversary of the pulling down of the Berlin Wall. And get side-tracked on some Aussie politics; AKA Bob Hawke.

On a happier note, I give a recommendation on visiting Berlin – next time you are in Europe.
(Just watch the Brits and the Germans fight it out over whose towels go on the deck chairs each day!)

(my Evidence exam is looming, and I am wasting time on a podcast. Shoot me now plz)

Salt Mine bake off 2009

Today, while I should have been studying Evidence for my exam this coming week, I decided to do a big bake off of dinners for work.
As I work the night shift at the Department of Salt there is nowhere to buy any food. After all, it’s an office building in the suburbs. On top of this minor technicality is the other small issue… that we only get a 15 minute smoko break! :-( That’s not much time to chow down our tucker and get back to data-entrying.
So, to stop me going to Red Rooster or Hungry Jacks at 4pm for ‘dinner’, I do a big bake-off every 2 weeks, and freeze my dinners to take to work. Here is today’s session. Enjoy!
