Just a haircut, <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/tags/matresscanoe/">Mattress Canoe</a> and food.<br/> Flatting 2008-12-08T06:01:02Z yomcat http://yomcat.geek.nz/lifetype/index.php?op=ViewArticle&articleId=1184&blogId=1 Monday. My house. Cable installation. Oh yeah.<br/>And I hate Woosh. Absolutely hate them. Bloody bastards charge $198 for early termination of contract. Arseholes. Flatting 2008-12-02T16:32:49Z yomcat http://yomcat.geek.nz/lifetype/index.php?op=ViewArticle&articleId=1181&blogId=1 In theory we have a barbecue (and meat), so that's all good. Hopefully it's a nice sunny day and we can stand in Melissa's garden and have a good sausage. If you want rabbit food, bring your own (or bring some to share if you're so inclined).<br/>Also, Melissa has some function to go to with her family, so she'll miss the start and you'll have to put up with me. I'll try not to hurt anyone. Yeah, it's also come to my attention that I'm missing my annual haircut (a.k.a. SLC), so if you want to crank out some scissors and destroy my flowing locks, feel free. No lawnmowers please.<br /> Oh, I want blackboards (for my honours next year). And I have a degree. At last... Flatting 2008-11-20T11:21:21Z yomcat http://yomcat.geek.nz/lifetype/index.php?op=ViewArticle&articleId=1180&blogId=1 So, we have a date. It's the 6th of December. Same kinda idea as last time (cruise on up, piss us off, leave) but at a new location (with a different coloured arrow).<br/>This time, we're at 3/5 Cockburn St. The yellow arrow.<br /> <img src="http://yomcat.geek.nz/photos/cockflat.png" /><br /> No parking up the drive, or we slash your tires. Since the "enthusiastic" Christian thing in Kilbirnie finishes at 1300, I say we start at 1330. And finish whenever. This place is quite a lot larger than the old place, so more than 1 person can breathe at a time (but only if you can afford it...) We might try and scab a BBQ off someone for dinner and eat lots of glorious meat and tomato sauce (think like the wedding, without the salads). If not, it'll be a hat and greasies again.<br /> Also, feel free to invite anyone that might not see this or get the email. I'm forgetful, and BCC is awesome. So yeah...<br /> Oh, our house needs another ticking clock (so Melissa can learn how to tell time). Just in case anybody cares.<br /> <br /> So, to summarise:<br /> <b>What:</b> Flat Warming. Mark II.<br /> <b>Where:</b> 3/5 Cockburn St, Kilbirnie<br /> <b>When:</b> Saturday December 6, 1330. Press Releases 2008-11-15T12:27:58Z yomcat http://yomcat.geek.nz/lifetype/index.php?op=ViewArticle&articleId=1178&blogId=1 It's almost time to warm another flat. This time, Dec 6. Keep the date free (though we're really close to Kilbirnie if you want to be one of those "enthusiastic" Christians...)<br/>Oh, something will also happen with the Phoenix game on the 28th of November (versus the stabby Tards). Football 2008-11-10T07:03:03Z yomcat http://yomcat.geek.nz/lifetype/index.php?op=ViewArticle&articleId=1173&blogId=1 No more exams!<br/>This means <b>PART A</b>!<br /><br /> Deetales two follow. Flatting 2008-10-24T12:49:22Z yomcat http://yomcat.geek.nz/lifetype/index.php?op=ViewArticle&articleId=1171&blogId=1 My bed has fleas. Melissa thinks they had lots of sex in the carpet then decided to attack the bed.<br/>I have a different theory. I don't know what it is though. Though it's related to my shattered toenail and the Phoenix's recent good form. I might as well throw in some other things. The orientation of the planets. An invasion from Christchurch. And fleas having sex.<br /> Oh, I didn't kill the little bugger because it jumped onto one of the blue lines and made my vision go all funky. The duvet looks a little like this: <hr color="MidnightBlue" size="5" /><hr color="MidnightBlue" size="5" /><hr color="MidnightBlue" size="5" /><hr color="MidnightBlue" size="5" /><hr color="MidnightBlue" size="5" /><hr color="MidnightBlue" size="5" /><hr color="MidnightBlue" size="5" /><hr color="MidnightBlue" size="5" /><hr color="MidnightBlue" size="5" /><hr color="MidnightBlue" size="5" /><hr color="MidnightBlue" size="5" /><hr color="MidnightBlue" size="5" /><hr color="MidnightBlue" size="5" /><hr color="MidnightBlue" size="5" /><hr color="MidnightBlue" size="5" /><hr color="MidnightBlue" size="5" /><hr color="MidnightBlue" size="5" /><hr color="MidnightBlue" size="5" /><hr color="MidnightBlue" size="5" /><hr color="MidnightBlue" size="5" /> Stuff 2008-10-20T19:56:17Z yomcat http://yomcat.geek.nz/lifetype/index.php?op=ViewArticle&articleId=1165&blogId=1 We've moved. At last. And the Internet is back on at home (will get cable eventually). Still no couch this morning (I doubt Melissa set it up) so there's not much to sit on, but we have music and Internets.<br/>Oh, if you want to come visit, just ask. There will be a flat warming in due cause (which is not an excuse for Ivan to light it on fire). Flatting 2008-09-30T12:05:11Z yomcat http://yomcat.geek.nz/lifetype/index.php?op=ViewArticle&articleId=1164&blogId=1 We're moving on Sunday morning (most probably). We don't actually have a key yet, but our lease starts on Sunday, so we had better get one by then. We've got a fair bit of stuff to move (fridge, freezer, washing machine, bed, dressers, Blitz etc.) so will need some assistance. If you're interested, drop me an email.<br /> <b>UPDATE:</b> We're getting the key at 1500 on Saturday. Moving on Sunday morning is confirmed.<br/>Oh, we'll be going to the Phoenix game afters. Hopefully they actually play better this week (against the Bling). Flatting 2008-09-26T09:13:55Z yomcat http://yomcat.geek.nz/lifetype/index.php?op=ViewArticle&articleId=1163&blogId=1 You sick freak.<br/><img src="http://yomcat.geek.nz/photos/cockburn.jpg" align="right"/> So, we actually have somewhere to live. Thanks to Huggies for putting in a nice word or so (Ben may have done so as well). It's on Cockburn St, and we move in this weekend. Not sure what day yet. Or if we can get cable, or anything like that. It has 2 bedrooms, and it has some outside space. That isn't shared. Closer to Kilbirnie as well.<br /> Pronounced "co burn". So the ck is silent. More details to follow. Press Releases 2008-09-23T20:49:24Z yomcat http://yomcat.geek.nz/lifetype/index.php?op=ViewArticle&articleId=1162&blogId=1 And now we're once again evicted. This is getting annoying. In theory, we should get an extra 42 days, but I doubt we'll get it (or want it). If we don't get the one we applied for today, it looks like we're off to my old shed. Great.<br/>We're after: <ul> <li>$300 p/w max</li> <li>2 bedrooms</li> <li>Kilbirnie/Lyall Bay (on the flat)</li> <li>Long term lease</li> <li>Only acceptable things to share are clothesline and outdoor space</li> </ul> Flatting 2008-09-18T19:19:45Z yomcat
