Hello readers! (all 1 of you, most likely only ME, seeing as this blog has sort of faded into obscurity...)As you can probably tell, I'm BORED, which means it's time to actually write something on this space instead of it just sitting here and rotting away into faded little pixels... Well, the last thing I posted about was how swine flu was coming to kill us, and that was over a year ago.Anyway,

... so i'm calmly listening to rammstein (if you can call till lindemann's dulcet tones growling about.... eh....you dont want to know, trust me...) on the train this morning, and i happen to glance over at the person sitting across the aisle from me, who is reading a copy of today's courier mail (brisbane newspaper). and on the front page is the dramatic headline.... "DEFENCELESS!" and this

I got to work ridiculously early as usual. so i'm hunting around for a new place to try for lunch. i work in the middle of chinatown, so chinese/asian restaurants are aplenty. my only other options are subway or fucking mcdonalds which fucked my order up for dinner.... yet

Hey guys. I've been slogging it out since february in the "real world" working at a job that some find mindless and/or mind numbingly repetitive.... As probably stated before, I got a job in a call centre. Yes, i'm still working there. Some days I enjoy it, some days I don't... anyway, i'll explain my job. i'm not a telemarketer. the company i work for basically has an inbound contract where we

Ok. So I will admit it. I HATE doctors. I usually don't go to one unless I'm just about to fall off the perch. That said, I've been dealing with an infected foot since the beginning of the year. I thought it originally had to do with not changing my socks (which I am lazy enough not to do sometimes, although not anymore!), and it's evolved into something totally gross to look at and just about as

Today it was raining, and I was at a friends place. I walked home in the rain. No umbrella, no raincoat. I just walked home in it. And you know what? It felt good. Very... I dunno...cleansing in a way. I was drenched when I got home, but it felt good.

Yep, that's right, I said Kangaroo! While my housemates were gone (and they are now back...BAH!), I found myself with the luxury of being able to eat what I consider to be real food (as opposed to the usual dreck of sausages, sausages and more sausages). So while in Coles one day, I was looking in the meat section, and saw that they had Kangaroo available. I hadn't eaten kangaroo in years, not

Hello and Happy New Year to all the readers (all..what.. 5 of you? lol) of TFP. For the first post of 2008, it's the return of the food review. Tonight's guinea pig product was Ayam Brand Asian Meal: Sweet + Sour Tuna and Rice. I picked this one up for 2 reasons... the first being I couldn't bloody decide what else to have for dinner, and the second being it was on sale at $2.99. Clearance sale,

Being that I have no housemates, I decided to try a couple of new recipes. I'd been fascinated by Polenta, since reading it on Adam Roberts' Amateur Gourmet weblog a while ago. It looked interesting and very versatile. I got a recipe from FoodNetwork.com, and the recipe is as follows.Polenta=======1 cup Polenta (you can also use cornmeal, it's basically the same thing)4 cups chicken stock (I used

"WTC View" is a film adaptation of a play by Brian Sloan, portraying the experiences of Eric, who places an ad for a roommate on the 10th of September, 2001. Eric's ad specifies that the apartment has a view of the World Trade Center, which becomes a central plot element. Ground Zero is not actually shown, but rather suggested by the glaring light coming in through the empty room's single window.

I thought about this one when I noticed I have half a jar of ground espresso coffee that I haven't used to make coffee in quite a while. Being a sucker for a good chocolate coated coffee bean (they can be surprisingly addictive, which SUCKS if you want to sleep later), I decided to give the idea a go, but using ground coffee instead.Espresso Chocolate==================Ingredients:============3/4

Ahhh... Ramen. Food of the Gods to students and the tight-budgeted all around the world, Ramen has the beauty of being both inexpensive (depending where you go to buy them), filling and tasty. There are pages dedicated to this fabulous food, often with recipes galore, some of which sound tasty and some of which sound...well...frankly nauseating.Anyway, I tend to prefer Ramen on it's own, without

The last few times I've been to Brisbane I've gone past the new Beard Papa Sweets store which seems to be conveniently located at the entrance to the arcade I go through to get to Central train station. (Or the arcade I come out of after leaving Central, depending on perspective.)Beard Papa Sweets has a flagship product, which is, in a nutshell, cream puffs. There's always a nice sweet aroma

On my 24th birthday, I bought a pedestal fan for my room. Being that I'd just moved into a house that didn't have cieling fans, a pedestal fan was in order. (If you live in Queensland, you will know why. Humidity and heat.) This fan has served me faithfully, except in the instance of storms and power blackouts. (Obviously, no power = no fan. This isn't rocket science, people!)Anyhoo, this evening

So I bought a cool little desk fan thing that I thought would be good for my desk, being that the last 2 days has been stinking hot (to say the least). Actually I was at The Warehouse looking for something else, and the first thing you see as you go in the door are all the fans and cooling shit. I spotted this cute as a button 10cm desk fan. I thought it would be perfect for my desk... I could

Today was the intended beginnings of Project Frostilicus. For a bit of background:3 weekends ago, I came down with a cold. Friday I felt like complete garbage, but still went out to get tickets for Nine Inch Nails in May. Saturday when I woke up, I found that my back had overnight decided to do it's trick of "fuck you, I'm going to cause you total agony for the next week or so!"So after a few

I felt like ranting after reading some of the comments on this video which was posted on YouTube. The video is the new Nine Inch Nails video for "Survivalism", from the forthcoming album "Year Zero" (which I am looking forward to, eagerly). My rant has to do with people who have posted comments such as "this sucks" or "Trent should do more stuff like he did on the downward spiral".For the record,

One of my TV memories from childhood was watching Are You Being Served?, that very funny comedy from the 70's set in a Grace Bros. store in London. One of my favourite characters other than the uptight Mrs Slocombe, was the outrageously effeminate Mr Humphries, played by the one and only John Inman. Sadly, John Inman died today, aged 71, after battling Hepatitis A for some time.RIP, Mr Humphries.

I decided to try a new product for dinner tonight. "Pattu" brand Paneer Butter Masala. It said "Mild" on the box (I like Indian food, but not overly spicy), and it was cottage cheese chunks in a creamy tomato sauce. I thought to myself that trying something new would be a change for the "get your own dinner" night... plus I'm getting a little bored with garlic bread.Here's the box:Inside was a

23 year old Rachael Myring was shot and killed yesterday, in a murder suicide in a suburban real estate office. The office was also my real estate office. What I didn't know at the time of the incident, and didn't find out until the 6pm news last night, was that I had actually met Rachael Myring once. She was the girl who I signed my current lease with. Even though I only met her the once, she

I stumbled across THESE today, at my local K-Mart. And let me admit I was the first to say out loud "WHAT THE FUCK?" and to pick up my dropped-in-horror jaw. Why was my jaw dropped in horror, I hear you ask. (Or not.) Well, as a non-practising, non-religious person, I was actually offended to see this BLATANTLY obvious attempt to push religion on children. Now I'm guessing this is some sanitised

(I think I'm going to start a "Halfass" section on this blog, dedicated to all things "Halfass" be they film reviews, or recipe ideas...)Anyhoo. This recipe involves leftovers. Specifically, leftover crumbed fish from last night's dinner. The fish was kinda... not so much tasteless, it just had a "what the FUCK am I eating" kinda taste. That's not to say that all crumbed fish tastes like that...

Now, admittedly I'm a bit of a skeptic when it comes to these rice snack things. To me they're always tasted a bit bland and lifeless.. somewhat like eating styrofoam.Well, I got a box for the bah humbug holiday yesterday...which isn't so bad, because they're not something I'm likely to buy without trying first.

(or Frostilicus needs to rant)1: Housemates who think they know better and decide (without asking you, the lease holder first) to get their brother in-law to fix the broken light socket that was reported to Nameless, Inc* Real Estate last Saturday. Their reasoning is: It's better than waiting 6 weeks for a new light socket like we did for the stove. I remind housemate that it was 8 weeks, not 6.

So the other day (Thursday), I made a mad dash into the city to get a ticket for the Scissor Sisters concert in February. (Yes, that's TICKET, singular, seeing as no one wants to go with me. You're missing a great show, folks!) After catching the earlier train than I had intended, I ended up at the top of the Queen Street Mall at 8:20am, realising in my horror that I had 40 minutes to kill before

The last three days has been hot as shit in Brisbane, and coupled with bushfires that we have been having... it made for some interesting pictures both last night and this morning. This was last night's sunset... and I think it's probably one of the best pictures I've ever taken...And this morning, I woke up to the light being a very strange orange colour. This led to me taking the following

I can't say that this is a promising thing, because frankly, it pissed me off when it happened.

(Or, "Belated Trip Blogging, part 4 or 5, I can't remember which", that I've had to restart typing, thanks to the goddamn WIND we had yesterday that knocked out the power! *angry Frosty!*)The first night spent on the Indian Pacific was actually more comfortable than I thought it would be. I woke up before dawn, and wandered down to the end of the carriage to take a shower. I had a mini-fight with

I was put onto this idea a while ago when I was in Perth. It's a bit like a bruschetta, though with a few differences. Bruschetta, if you don't know, is an italian snacky thing that is basically sliced italian bread, rubbed with garlic, drizzled with olive oil, seasoned with salt and pepper, and then grilled until toasty. It can then be topped with anything from diced tomato, roasted peppers, and

So a few days ago I took some pictures of the cat, who has been lazy as fuck the last week or so... he's been sleeping a LOT during the day, so we figure he's been out tarting around the neighbourhood at night... which is funny, cuz kitty has no balls :P Nevertheless, he has been giving up some of the most adorable poses while sleeping...Kitty also likes to sprawl out!Kitty also decided to play

Here are the pictures that I snapped today...This is the cat snoozing on my housemate's chair:I thought it looked cute and he managed to stay that despite my other housemate's 11yr old son trying to wake him up (ggrr)And here's one of Douggie that looks a bit like he's doing drunken karaoke.Of course, there's no microphone and there was not a beer or girlie drink in sight, so you'll just have to

On my second day in Sydney, I went for another wander, this time in the opposite direction. I passed a bakery, some trendy shops, and a few cafés, one of which seemed to have very little shop space. Past all the shops, I spotted a church (St John's Anglican) and thought I would go in and have a look around. I'm pretty much an atheist, but I like churches for the architecture and the stained

On my first full day in Sydney, I woke up after about 3 hours of really crappy sleep. (I never sleep well in foreign places) It was about 7am when I woke up, so I decided to spruce myself up a bit and get some breakfast before going for a wander. Hotel Formule 1 serves a continental breakfast that's worth something around $7 for all you can munch breakfast nosh. The coffee was horrible, though.

I play Aardwolf, which is a text based Multi-User Dungeon game. (MUD for short.) It's an RPG type game, in which you gain skills and such, and experience, killing monsters and generally having a fun time while communicating with others around the world. Anyhoo, today I remorted, meaning that I played through 200 levels of thiefy goodness, and now am going to play as a cleric. Medved over at

My mother (we'll call her Muriel, that's not her real name, but anyway...) and I went out today for a few odds and ends. One of those being a new dial-up modem, as the new PC i built for her doesn't possess serial ports, so she needed a USB modem. Anyway, we wandered through K-Mart, looking for some Velcro cable ties, which we found in the end, and we drifted through the clothes department.

After about 2 hours worth of downloading 14 or so megabytes (currently being on dialup), and a day of just simply forgetting that I'd downloaded it, I got around to installing Windows Live Messenger. So I figured that I would sit down and rant about it.Now, before I started using MSN oh, about 2 and a half years ago, I didn't even have it installed. I installed it because some friends of mine

Ten Cuts BB UncutChannel Ten here in Australia has axed Big Brother: Adults Only, this year's incarnation of what was previously known as Big Brother: Uncut. Basically because, according to Ch 10, while the show has complied with the Television Industry Code Of Practice, questions "continue to be raised" as to whether the show should be on the air. Oh, and let's not forget this story about how

Just over a month ago I left Sydney on the Indian Pacific rail service, bound for Perth. After having spent nearly 3 days in Sydney half recuperating from the hellish trip down from Brisbane on the XPT, and half suffering from the beginnings of a bug/cold, I was about to undertake a journey that I think everyone should endeavour to take at least once in their lifetime.

I bought this down at my local Asian grocer, as I went there to get some noodles or ramen or whatever you call them. Here's the can...The taste? It's not bad, actually. A bit like the K-Fee one I had a while ago, sweet and drinkable. The coffee flavour is good, not artificial in any way.:P

I came up with this recipe idea today while most of the housemates are away for the weekend. I'd vaguely toyed with making a frittata once before, while the last edition of Big Brother's Friday Night Games for 2005 was playing on TV. Granted I didn't have much to put in it, and what ended up in it was a combination of onions and cocktail franks and knackwurst sausage. This time I had a craving

On the 21st of July, 1998, I had a really bad head cold. I, however, went to my classes I was taking at the time anyway, because we were starting a new project. I decided to go home early, due to not being able to concentrate, and walked back to the train station. I saw the train coming over the hill in the distance, and knew I had enough time to make it onto the platform, validate my ticket and

This one crept up quite quick, and (from the news reports I've heard) it ripped the roof clean off a house in my suburb. The ceiling fan of the house was in the middle of the street. We had a lot of thunder and lightning, some rain and wind, but no damage in my street, luckily.So here's the approaching doom...And this was a few minutes later... focused mostly on the lighter parts of the sky,

I finally got around to sitting down and watching this today. My housemate said it was really good and really creepy, lots of horror, blah blah blah. Well, call me unimpressed, but I've dreamed up better horror stories in my head. Oh, apparently the fact that it all supposedly happened is the "horrifying" part. Dude, I was more horrified by Fred West and his "House of Horrors" than I was by this
