I’ve finally finished booking everything for my trip as of around 4am this morning

Details:
Shanghai: Aug 17-Aug 19
London: Tues Aug 19-Sun Aug 24
Edinburgh+Scotland Travel tour: Mon Aug 25-Fri Aug 29
Nottingham: Sat Aug 30-Tues Sept 2
Milton Keynes: Tues Sept 2-Sun Sept 7
London: Sun Sept 7-Tues Sept 9

Then on Sept 9 I get on that plane and get back into Melbourne on Thursday September 11!

I am a lot more poorer, I have no money saved up (thank god I’m doing my tax return on Friday, should get the cheque before I leave)… But the important thing is all details are booked! All I need now is to wait for the Chinese Consulate to send back my passport with my approved Visa

3 weeks and 5 days to go!

Until midnight Sunday (at what I can only assume to be whatever time zone Hollywood is in?), Dr Horrible’s Sing-along Blog is available to watch free! From that time on, it will be available to download from the iTunes store I believe for a fee. This is fantastic, and I would highly recommend it to all! Check it out before the clock runs out and you have to pay!

There’s no heel spur that has shown up on the x-ray, but it is plantar fasciitis. Woo. Which means I guess I’ll be walking around various parts of England and Scotland with a bad foot.

Thank you, cruel fate

The countdown is now nearing to a rapid end… 31/7/08 marks the release of Soul Calibur IV. Now if you know me well enough, you will know that Soul Calibur II and III are two of my most favourite fighting games ever. You would also know Isabella “Ivy” Valentine is second only to Chun-Li as my favourite game character of all time. I pre-ordered my copy at EB Games today. Getting, of course, the Xbox 360 version which features Yoda! I’m pretty excited about getting to play him, I’ve seen some of the footage of his gameplay, and it looks pretty damn awesome. Much better than the footage I have seen of Darth Vader, who is featured in the PlayStation 3 version. (Currently defending my stance on this topic in a discussion on the Level 3 Forums, although it has gone a bit off topic!).

Check out the official Soul Calibur website here

Also have made a new forum sig to celebrate the occassion:

Best. Game. Boobies. Ever.

To celebrate the 4th of July, it was decided that karaoke that night shall be dubbed Rock-A-Pendance Day! And what a night it was. I got up a total of 6 times (Ice Ice Baby, The Anthem, Millennium, Time Warp (with Matt), The Saga Begins and Voodoo Child (with Carrie)), the Ballad Brothers were in full swing, Carrie was rocking the joint, Matt and Bashar came along… The only thing missing was Krys! She missed a very good one, and I hope she feels bad about it Next week should be ok, but I don’t think it will live up to the past couple of weeks because I’m working next Saturday so I won’t be drinking as much and will have to be home earlier. Ah well. Pics on my Flickr as usual!

Guh! I have a Vitamin B12 deficiency, AGAIN! My diet is so much more better than it used to be, and I’ve bloody gone and become deficient. Last time I had one was in 2004. Goddam. I don’t want any of those smartarse “Well, if you ate meat…” comments from people. I choose not to eat it, yes I may be paying for it right now, but a few injections and I’ll be right as rain. Yes, a few! I need at least 5 (the quanitity says 5 on the prescription). Ah well. The doctor did say try to eat more eggs, so I guess I’ll incorporate them into my diet more. I also have to go and have an x-ray on my foot because I may have Plantar Fasciitis/a heel spur. Basically at the moment when I walk, I feel like there’s a lump on my heel, but there isn’t actually a lump there. So we’ll see. I dunno. It sucks. Majorly. So Saturday I get the X-ray done and find out.

Oh well. At least I have karaoke to look forward to on Friday night! Let’s see how my foot handles walking in my heeled boots
