The insurance thing has had some problems, they got a quote off some other dodgy place and it was cheaper, so i had to go back to the place i want to get it from and they dodged the figures so it was cheaper. Looks like im going to end up with one of the new 12inch powerbooks :) I would have preferred a 15inch, but hey, its costing me nothing and its way better then just a G3 ibook :)

Been playing a few games lately. Bought simcity 4 and it kicks ass!. Took me a while to get the hang of it. After building 4 cities and destroying them all i started on a new one and its going great! my population is around 4000, but ive already got High Tech industry (which comes after you educate your people). Its cool. I have just bought up another region and have deicded to turn it into industry and sell power form it to my other region, which will be turned into a purely residential/commercial region. Doing that will get rid of the polution :)

Also got a copy of Age of mythology, its not bad. The whole 'god' spells and stuff certainly make it more enjoyable then Age of empires. I didnt play Age of empires that much but Age of mythology is a lot better. I basically play it when i get sick of simcity 4 (not that often) or i want to run around killing stuff... heh oh what fun...

Cant wait to get me new laptop, got so much to do with it. *sigh* Got lots of work coming up soon, moderating exams and marking exams as well. Also probably going to be writing more assignments. The money is good, but its getting kind of boring and not really very IT ' ish. Im gunna really get into programming again when i get the new laptop, so many ideas, its time to get my butt into gear and actually do somthing about them. Theres money to be made dammit!

*sigh* - righto thats it... gremlins is on tv and i gots to be watching it!!

So my insurance claim is all in, should hear back soon. The dude who did it said i was pretty well organised with the quotes and so forth so it shouldnt take that long *fingers crossed*. Damn i miss having a laptop, its so handy to have... oh well, will be good if i get a replacement powebook *grins*

Not much else has been going on, went to Yepoon (the beach) on the weekend for Australia day. Each year that have a beach party type thing which isnt bad to have a look at. Spent the whole day down there wandering around and stuff.

Uni is starting up again, ive got marking/moderating to do and have been involved in some assignment writing duties. its not too bad actually. Will get a bit busy soon when the autumn term starts up again. Hopefully i should be able to find enough work to keep me going.

dramas dramas dramas... hrmmmm seems people find it easy to talk to me and want to tell me everything... weird. but good in a way i guess. Im no expert or anything, all i can really do is give my opinion... *shrugs* hrmmmm Oh well, things tend to sort them selves out...

My grandfather is still in hospital, the cancer isnt getting any better. Mums says he is telling lots of stories, about doing stuff on the farm and so forth. He doesnt really know where he is and goes on mystical journies each night that he tells mum about. he is the best storyteller in the world. :)

*sigh* such is life i guess....
