The mental outpourings and general happenings of an awesome and super hot guy from Canberra!

Surprise!

That's all I've got.

I'm trying to find a Playstation 3 (60GB model) and it's difficult. Difficult, that is, if I want an Australian model for less than $1,100. We'll see how we go, but I really want it to work with PS2 games. I'm not willing to compromise on this, so I may end up not getting one. Options that look promising (for the target price) are a private listing that comes with games, an eBay listing with games, and an ebay listing without. They're all in Australia, but I'm bidding against people who might have more cash at their disposal than I do. Rather, people who are willing to spend over $1K on a friggin' game console. Jeez, make my life more expensive why don't you?

Other news? I'm going skiing! Now that exams are over I don't have to concentrate on studying. Not that I did anyway. I think I studied for a total of one hour for these exams. I'll have to do better next semester. In my defense they were very easy. Totemo kantan desuyo! I'd love to take a more intensive Japanese course, but "TAFE" is all I can fit in with working at the moment. I might move over to university next year or the year after depending on the time I have at my disposal.

I wonder if going over to Japan at the end of this year will have any measurable influence on ym proficiency. I'm leaning towards "yes" as even only being in Italy for just over two weeks gave me some insight into how the language works. That was without any prior study, formal or otherwise. I'm looking forward to this trip more and more. It's going to be wonderful, in the most true sense of the word.

And now we get back to work.
