Last few days have been a little bit crazy but my life is back on track now.

I’ve been on a bit of a buying spree for the last few days. Picked up a couple of t-shirts from Panic and one from Ante Up on Wednesday pretty spontaneously. Today I got myself a ticket to Lupe Fiasco’s side show on Australia day which should be really awesome (suprised that the BDO in Sydney isn’t on Australia Day, but there you go). Got myself a 2gb memory card for my Wii from Zazz for a super cheap price. I’m tossing up whether I want to go and see Butterfingers next Friday night and sneak in some poker too. Tickets are cheap so it’s mighty tempting.

Speaking of which - what’s the deal with semi-average acts charging crazy ticket prices!? Lupe came to about $50 today, and while I don’t mind paying for it, I would of expected them to be about $10-15 cheaper. Tenacious D come out next month and as entertaining as they are, you would have to be incredibly hardcore to pay $72 to go and see them. I hear that Weird Al Yankovic puts on an incredible stage show, but $80 a ticket? Come on, Al is good but he’s not superstar level. I realise that it costs a lot to bring these acts to Australia, but the D wouldn’t be out here if they didn’t have a movie to promote. It just seems a bit excessive in the end and really the promoters are turning away potential customers by charging so much. With that said, they might pack the house and get people willing to pay that price. I don’t know, that’s why I’m not a concert promoter.

Back to buying spree. I was looking at the Okayplayer Store and might finally get a couple. Then my sister was looking at the Glarkware store as she was thinking about buying a few shirts and I saw this old favourite of mine. Then I came across a link and saw this which I thought was appropriate for myself, but my sister butted in and said that I was anti-social (I recommend her this one, but she liked this more). Then while watching Trailer Park Boys I saw this and thought “I wonder if they sell that”. They do. And I can’t forget about the ultra cool Boom Headshot hoodie from the Pure Pwange store. And I realise that you can’t start a sentence with the word And, but this is a blog so rules don’t apply.

I’m hooked on the Arctic Monkeys at the moment, since I’ve been listening to Virgin Radio Xtreme I’ve discovered a number of bands that I like (and won’t listen to for much longer - Bloc Party in particular). The Aussie Millions are getting closer and closer and I really need to qualify now if I want to play in the main event, so I think I’ll be hitting the tables particularly hard tommorow afternoon. I have to work out my day’s off if I’m planning on playing in any of the other events, the only one that really intrigues me is the Limit Ohama Hi/Lo event but I don’t think I have that day off. The first batch of tickets have been released for the Melbourne International Comedy Festival 2007. Apart from the Gala, Debate and RAW Comedy final, only a few local names and Danny Boay have been announced. I plan on going to a ridiculous amount of shows at the festival.
This entry was a bit all over the place, but hey that’s what you have to put up when reading this crud. My planned write up of the Amazing Race finale will come after I re-watch the episode as I forgot what happened (yeah it was that good a finale). I haven’t really watched any other television this week so I’ll probably have a long entry detailing a few shows that I watch in the next few days. TV is on a bit of a break everywhere since Xmas/New Year is coming up and apparently people stop watching it (news to me) so I don’t really have a whole lot to write about on that front.

I think that’s where I am going to leave it today. I have a few rants/article type things I will write about, so add that RSS feed to your favourite website/browser and keep a watch on it. ‘Til then, later.
