Photo Per Day – Fail!

Nocturnal_Nick — Thu, 16 Jun 2011 14:08:42 +0000

So I bailed on the photo per day thing way too early But it’s ok folks, I’ll be starting it up again now! Some exciting news/excuses as to why I haven’t posted:

1. I got my bike back Yes, the purple one from a post a while ago. Hooray! It’s just as fast and pretty as it always was, and I’ll be taking just as good care of it (seeing as I took great care of it back then too).

2. I’ve been working a fair bit, and on my days off I had friends visit from Canberra . Joe and Carlie shipped up for a Karate camp, in which they both completed their 3rd Dan and 2nd Dan respectively. Certainly a mighty achievement, given Joe can now officially be called Sensei, and Carlie is well on her way

3. I had to have a 3. But really there’s not much else I can use as an excuse Been spending time with mates and my girlfriend. There, you happy? I tried a Bloody Mary? It was ok…

I’ll be uploading a bunch of photos to go with this post below just to tide us over, though I’m currently at the laundromat on my netbook, so don’t expect TOO much

Photo Per Day – Day 13: Edamame Experimentation

Nocturnal_Nick — Thu, 02 Jun 2011 03:19:22 +0000

Went to Ginga in South Bank last night, and tried Edamame for the first time. I’d call it a success, food was great, company fun, and bills cheaper than your average Japanese place

Recommended!

Photo Per Day – Day 12: Daily isn’t Working… Yet – Monaco!

Nocturnal_Nick — Thu, 02 Jun 2011 03:10:51 +0000

Hosted the group’s viewing of Monaco’s F1 race, was pretty good! This photo just about sums it up, huge projector, tight track, beer, chips and good times.

The photo was taken at lap 1, because after that I couldn’t be torn from my seat That’s saying something, given both of my drivers crashed in practise/qualifying, and the only one that raced didn’t score any points

Next race is in Canada, timing over here in Australia should be fun!

Photo Per Day – Day 11: Can they do that?

Found this in the middle of Toowong. Is the black dog street for a drug? Am I missing something?

Photo Per Day – Day 10: Long Running Typo

Nocturnal_Nick — Sat, 28 May 2011 13:59:04 +0000

This has been sitting on the wall of the local pub for at least as long as I’ve been going (nearly a year now). Can’t believe how long it took me to see it!

Photo Per Day – Day 9: Pinball to Pikmin

Nocturnal_Nick — Fri, 27 May 2011 02:39:42 +0000

Excuse the crude alliteration. These game arcades, who still goes? I mean, most games there are far outdated by games that are available on your home consoles, and many will have the same controllers and you’re much more comfortable playing. The exceptions of course, are the games that involve physical objects, like pinball, the basketball hoops (though there is the basic alternative of an actual ball and hoop) and those clown teeth shooters.

When was the last time you played a pinball machine? Would you own one?

Photo Per Day – Day 8: Chips and Dip(s)

Nocturnal_Nick — Thu, 26 May 2011 10:54:51 +0000

Today I wasn’t sure if I wanted unhealthy food or healthy food. I settled for healthy (Sumo Salad) but was left craving more. Michael suggested chips, and I gave in.

But the dip. Last time I got chips I got dip that I didn’t enjoy (Lime, Chilli Aoli) which sounded much better than it worked out to be.

Today was sweet chilli, fairly standard, but tasty.

What dip does anyone suggest?

Photo Per Day – Day 1 UPDATE: New EB Sale

Nocturnal_Nick — Thu, 26 May 2011 08:36:17 +0000

So EB changed their sale. Though I doubt the games available are much good/new, I respect that they’ve increased the discount by 33%!

This doesn’t count as a “Photo per day” photo, I’ll find something else soon

Photo Per Day – Day 7: Hillsong Shudder

Nocturnal_Nick — Thu, 26 May 2011 08:30:25 +0000

So without anything interesting to say about today (I was at training all day) I did stop by this place inadvertently. I had no idea what it was until Alex told me.

Just doing a u-turn in their parking lot got me some suspicious looks from the “Caretaker’s” hut.

Photo Per Day – Day 6: Cleaning and Advertising… And Bike News!

Nocturnal_Nick — Tue, 24 May 2011 09:32:53 +0000

Today I washed both my car and the old bike, ready for some pictures and an ad in the paper. It started ok today, as it has been recently since I’ve replaced the worn float needle, huzzah! So, ah, if anyone wants it, mention this website and get $300 off asking price! (Which is $1900 ). Comes with a spare tank (purple) and guards (correct colour)

Oh and the repairer called and confirmed that my new bike should be done by Thursday or Friday this week
