4 weeks since my last cigarette and my lungs are still expelling what we used to call “lung biscuits”. Hurry up and detox, already! 🙂
If that hasn’t grossed you out you may now read the rest of this little self absorbed spiel about my life.
Yesterday I booked the car in for a trip to Melbourne, so that I can get some major (with a price tag to match) work done on it. Major in terms of the fact that it should pull an 11 second quarter mile after it’s done, too 😀
I’m trying to keep it quiet from most of the guys I know until after it’s done – November 20th is a big drag meet, especially for 4 cylinders, 6 cylinders and rotaries – but they’re letting injected v8s run as well.
I’m pretty keen to give some of the guys with smaller motors a good showing (after seeing it run 13.88 last time out, it’ll be a massive improvement, should surprise them a bit)….
Bought a helmet today too – absolutely love it.
Been watching lots of Battlestar Galactica – the new series is quite good.
Oh and – you heard it here first (none of my friends know) – I met a girl. Well almost… she messaged me on aussiematchmaker, seems ok. We’ve been exchanging emails and messages for the last week or so – she only lives one suburb away from me. I guess we’ll meet up sooner or later and see if there’s any chemistry 🙂
I’ve been spending a lot of time thinking about what would happen if this job opportunity comes up – it’s such a great opportunity, and I am sooo stale in my current job. But on the other hand.. this is such a wonderful place to live, and there are so many great things happening in my life that I just don’t want to move.
It’s almost like history has repeated itself – I spent 18 months or so here, without making the effort to go out and make friends or anything, because I thought I’d end up moving on. Then I decided to stay – and things started to happen, I met a bunch of nice people, and started having a life.
Then this IT project arrives and I’m like, damnit, I want to stay here and do it!
I can only hope that I can convince them to let me do it from here…. I will be trying really hard, believe me!
But we’ll see what happens – you can’t think too far into the future, and this situation may never happen.
