Famous Again Again

I'm in a video clip

Scroll down to between 4:30am and 5:00am and look for "Cinco Locos"

If I can get a copy of the clip I'll post it here.

Tues

Bummer.
Hot.
Time to go jump in the pool.

Redemption

...came in the form of a 4km walk from Dripstone down to the point and back.
Oh yeah..I was in the paper AGAIN today...I'm losing count now, this is the 4th or 5th time I think. I'm getting random phone calls as people see it - got a pearler of a message today from Joe, he reckons he's gunna blow it up and paste it on the wall or something...

Ouch!

Oh the pain of Saturday morning...

Health

Oh yeah..I did an hour plus on the bike this morning, as well as at least an hour walking this evening.

However fear not, I did compensate for the evening's overindulgence by consuming large quantities of beer :)

Fame

Did I mention that after last Thursday's paper I was also in Monday's?

This time on page 6 rather than 14.

I just found out that tomorrow I will be on page 5.
Does this mean that eventually I will be on the front page?

The Yes Men

Just back in from seeing this movie.

I laughed and laughed out loud - uncontrolably - many many times throughout this film. Very sobering subject, but presented in a highly comical vein.

I highly recommend it if you are at all suspicious of the whole free trade / globalisation movement.

Waiting for Mr Langford to get home from work so I can drink some more (10:45pm)
It's really started to get humid this week; the ceiling fan is necessary even at this hour, and swimming is starting to become mandatory throughout the day.

Not sure if I mentioned my latest health kick - today I did an hour's bike ride, yesterday was 90 minutes of walking.

As usual, it won't last.

I Love Google

If you're not in Australia you can safely ignore this.

Infringement Notice Failure to Vote

If you believe you have a valid and sufficient reason for not voting

This is from a recent trip to Litchfield:

Fined

Bastards have just issued me an "Infringement Notice - Failure to Vote"

For all you international readers: here in Australia we have compulsory voting in all 3 levels of government elections. Looks like I missed the Northern Territory elections during my last trip overseas.

Time to go hit Google and look for "a valid and sufficient reason for not voting" and then "complete Parts B & E..."

Here's what you had to say about my recent media exposure.

Hehe mate, you almost look educated.
Did it hurt when they inserted the back end of a crane into your ear?
Lee Chard

Awesome picture of you on your website.
So... protective headgear is required!!! And you got paid for being hungover....sweet!!!
Big Ev

your face always seemd like it needed a mortarboard on it....anyway, it is pretty cool. You rock tha funnyhat.
Choda

That University ad you are featured in is just bizarre. It makes me want to rush out and consume large quantities of drugs. You are a Kramer-like fiend.
Smelly Pete

and the best so far:

Your new modelling career is pretty cool but I feel I deserve some of the profits.

I strongly believe that I launched you into super-stardom with the introduction of Nazi Dave. Have you also forgotten about the traumatizing and ferocious attack to your manhood by the Centipede in which I believe I exceeded the expectations of the modelling world.
And lets not forget the force-of-nature event that almost wiped out the most important Australian colony "Darwin" (known for the intellect and work ethic of its people). I think the piece was called "Cyclone" and it shocked the planet.

Now that you are an Evil Land Baron I think I am going to assemble a top notch team of lawyers and sue your ass...unless you are willing to settle out of court.

ED: Vince, you forgot the classic Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse picture!

Here's Tim & I at the 80s party we had back in April:



More as I find 'em.

Tidbits

Ok, I've decided to start frivolously posting stuff I receive from people.

Here's a start:



Thanks to the Shanebeast

In other news:
Had the chess night at my place last night. This consists of the boys (and occasional girls) drinking, smoking and shit-talking. We also manage a few games of chess inbetween.

Today I am being domestic - cleaning up from last night and about 2 other parties worth of mess.
Tonight is beer and footywatching at Timmeh's place.
Tomorrow: The Mauritian Creole Partay at Bert's!

Stay tuned...

Famous Once More!

Ok, below is the photo from an advertisement that will appear in tomorrow's (8/9/05) Northern Territory News.



It's an advertisement for Charles Darwin University;
I actually got paid $150 for it!
I had a MAJOR hangover at the time the photo was taken.

If you're interested, the full advertisement is here

Back to obscurity....

More weirdness here

Busi-ness

Yeah - I started one!
"Dave's Data" - cheesy huh?

Fixing PCs for people (home users and small businesses mostly)
The plan is to only have to work 20 hours a week...so far I'm getting about 2-3 hours :)

Once the advertising kicks in I'll should be doing good - but pray for me anyway.

Here's a totally irrelevant picture sent to me by Ben McFly:
