The weekend

Justyn — Sun, 27 Apr 2008 10:37:08 +0000

I awoke with a phone call today at 12noon, I was sleeping in because I got home late from Kirsten’s 21′s last night. I answered the call, and my sister said “have you forgotten something?”, it was her 18th birthday today, I remembered, I was just asleep. So I said happy birthday to her, and she was all happy :-).

I installed OSX 10.5.2 (x86 version) on a spare laptop HDD I had floating around, it seemed to install fine, but failed when it came to booting. So instead I downloaded Ubuntu 8.04 and installed that. It worked beautifully, picked up everything in the laptop. I plugged my Logitech V220 into the laptop, and it “just worked”, I’m loving how far linux/bsd has come!

Then later this afternoon, Chell and I went down to the strand for a late lunch / dinner. We cooked up a BBQ, had sausages, steak, mushrooms and capsicum, it was so delicious. Afterwards, we came home, had a bit of a sleep and watched some TV. We are going to lay down again soon and have some ice cream and watch season 2 of Nip/Tuck :-).

Head-unit & Speakers

Well Josh went and bought a new head-unit on Tuesday, so he came around that night with his old one, and we wired it up in the Magna. It was quite a pain, since it was dark we had a lamp hooked up, and the center spacia in the Magna was a pain getting out too. But it’s all installed and working – thanks Josh!

Today Chell and I went shopping as it was her birthday yesterday, so she got money e.t.c Chell ended up getting her nails done, and they look damn sexy!

Chell also bought some stuff for her hair to help keep it straight longer when she straightens it. Chell also bought a new set of 6×9′s for the Magna, they were $110, but on sale for $70. I got them all hooked up today, and they sound great just running off the head-unit – thanks baby!

Well that’s all for now, better go get ready for work

Girls Birthday

Justyn — Thu, 24 Jan 2008 20:18:14 +0000

Yesterday was Emily and Tiana’s second birthday, the terrible two’s, but with twins! I finished work at 3pm yesterday and got the girls, by the time we got home it was about 3:30pm, they unwrapped their presents and had some cake, we got some photos and they were all happy and cute.

Micah came to get the girls about 4-4:15pm so when he got them Rachelle and I got upset, they looked so sad leaving. Rachelle, Kirsten and I ended up going to Woolworths, we bought some chicken and vegetables and went back to Kirsten’s place and I cooked up a big stir-fry, it was delicious.

We get the kids back again this afternoon when I finish work, I’m so excited I can’t wait! That’s all for now, I will post some pictures of their birthday in the gallery when I get home from work.

Update: I have posted pictures in the gallery here.
