Season 4 Breaking Bad Finale

Holy. Shit.

I'm sorry Mad Men, but you just got bumped from best TV show ever.

Music-related post.

I completely forgot that there's a new Mastodon album out.  I think they are probably the best metal band of the last decade.  This isn't from the new album, but it is an iTunes bonus, so I guess that's close enough.

Hey guys.

I hadn't updated for a while because of uni work.  I forgot about an assignment in a bridging course that I hadn't completed way back.  Anyway, just had to knock that off.  It was pretty basic MS Word/Excel/Access stuff, though I hadn't used Access until this thing, that was a bit of an ordeal.

But anyway, it's done.  Time to party and all that.

Music-related appendix

This song is awesome and the video clip is completely not gay.

Addendum.

When I left high school, I wanted to get into graphic design, architecture or something similar.  And instead to taking a year or two off, I figured I'd go straight into university.  We were taught a mixed discipline in my particular high school, where they lumped the two together along with some industrial design stuff.  I liked working with computers but I didn't consider them a career path at that time.

I didn't get into the graphic design course in the university I wanted, but I got an offer for foreign language, which I was indifferent about.  However, I got into the architecture course in Darwin, which I was willing to do, since I figured it was close enough.  The architecture course in CDU was not the full course, but what the hell, I could just transfer once I finished.

It was about most of the way into the 2nd year, when I realised how much I hated it.  The workload was insane and I could rarely wrap my head around the critique.  I've never understood art critique, especially in the context of architecture.  Also, I wasn't that great.  I struggled through the 3rd year twice, but I ended up bailing out.

Ultimately, I'm not sorry about doing this course or leaving it, because I met a lot of good people and it has lead to some interesting opportunities, but I do regret a lot of things.

One more and then I'll sleep, I promise.

I wouldn't say I grew up on Weird Al Yankovic, but he is a massive influence on my screwed up taste in... everything.

A summary of recent events.

It was a gigantic pain in the arse.  5 more offices to go.  The good thing is that our system is sorted out and the next offices are much smaller.

Anyway, The Horrors.

Futzing.

So, I have this temporary contract job with Centrelink where me and a couple of other people are replacing all their computers.  It's setup through a friend's business, which is being contracted by an IT company, which is being contracted by Acer.

We were supposed to start two weeks ago, but the computers didn't come in until last week and Centrelink cancelled the week after.  But it's all go now.  It's kind of fucked up my weekend, but whatever I need the money.

Also, Redcoats.

Current music. Again.

The first time I heard this song, me and a bunch of mates were heading into town and there was a red full moon in the sky from the Chilean ash cloud.  I'm not the first person to think of this, but yeah - perfect zombie slaying material.  I love the official clip, but I can't hear anything over the dialogue.

I really should try and get to sleep, but I'm a bit of an insomniac.

Current music.

I'll admit that this kind of thing has been done, but I really wanted to share this.  I really do like The Jezabels at the moment, great band.  I really love this kind of indie pop/space rock.
