PSA for those with iOS9. My cell use went up without me noticing.

TIL There are fast food sushi restaurants in Japan that use the plates customers accumulate as tokens for a machine to total their bill.

They have those in the UK as well, with different coloured plates representing different prices. You'd always be surprised at how bloody quickly the bill would go up.

The police officer two doors down has been loudly singing for the past two hours. I'm pretty sure I've heard more pleasant dying cats. Seriously, at one point I thought a kid was dying and screaming in agony and ran over to help.
This is going to be a long day.

I'll be 30 in December. I'm having a party this year, and i'm thinking of going for an 80's theme.

Yep. I do have memories from those years. I am definitely a 90's kid, but the 80's were very impactful on my developmental years. Also, it's much easier and cost effective to throw an 80's party. There's shit everywhere.

Got a leaflet in the mail today -

"Save over $1,500 a year in interest payments by getting our new low-rate credit card !!"

Or I could save $1,500 a year in interest payments by... you know... actually paying off my credit card every two weeks. Just a thought.

So, for the last three years or so ICT Coursework has been my lyfe, and it's been as useless as ever. It usually revolved around creating a website, throwing as much retardedness as we could even if it made no sense/didn't fit and then writing a 10,000 word report on why we did that. I eventually got a B in it, and didn't care much for it. It was easy as shit, and useless as ever.

Turned out the entire mulitmedia part of my computer science course is basically to do that on a smaller scale (literally 6 pages, an animation and a report about 2000 words long), and I'm given 8 week to do it. Hoping for an A.

So we have a shiny new, Liberal government in place, and more importantly a member of parliament called Hunter Tootoo.

Incidentally, if you want to time your film to the EXACT moment they come to the future, you need to watch the film at around 4:24:37pm if you live on the west coast, anywhere else you'll need to time it correctly to your time zone. So for me it'd be 12:24:37am. for GMT.
