Just filling the void that has been the past month or so since my last blog entry here on the MSN Spaces. First thing first… I'm now beating my brother in his Xbox Gamerscore. Yes I cheated a bit… or did I? I found King Kong for $20. What does that mean? An easy 1000 points straight up! So now that Wayne is aware of the new development in the whole Gamerscore situation I'm waiting for his gaming onslaught. I've also got him tracking his score on www.360voice.com along with Futumbi (Owen) so this is going to get interesting!
Indoor Cricket
Blackout are doing damn well. Three rounds into the new season and three wins. Last game was an especially good one for me. I took out the three stars from the other guys mainly due to a freaky catch I took up the back towards the end of a match we were well and truly winning. I had been hard on myself for a six that had gotten past me a few overs before hand. In hindsight… there was probably no chance of me catching it. But it just fuelled me with determination to not allow more go through. So when the same batsman launched his attack to the back twine I was on the ready. I took a three step lunge to my right and with my right arm out stretched took a diving one handed catch which left me tangled up in the back nets! Damn shame that our games aren't being taped sometimes!
So this new found enthusiasm has got me wanting to get www.blackouthouse.com back into shape again. I want to get the site automatically updating itself. Trouble is that I am simply not nerdy enough to work out the nuts and bolts on how to get it to happen. I like what the NRL have done with their site and that has helped motivate me to get something similar happening.
Footy
I love my cricket. But I also love the league! So I guess I am served all year round. I've been busy organising the Footy Tipping for work. But it's been disappointing. I sent emails out to ALL New South Wales and Queensland branches inviting people to join up. I also sent out faxes to said locations as well. We are registering less players this season than last. Not sure what one has to do. We are using www.oztips.com for the first time. This means no more weekly dramas of emailing out to all the guys. Less stress and pressure on yours truly so I can get other stuff done now.
Work
Not happy at all where I am. When I say where I am I am referring to where I am in my career. I need to change but changing a career after more than 10 years in the one industry (9 of those years in Europcar) is daunting. Maybe a holiday is in order. I have a few options but nothing is a gift. I'll need to work for it.
Family
I'll be having the father in law staying over for a month. This is good news but will also be… somewhat awkward for me. But I have offered to have him stay with us as he is family of cause. The other half doesn't want to travel for so long by plane. I was surprised to hear this as I figured it would have been the other way around. I'm looking forward to showing him this great city of ours and the car will be getting a good work out with lots of day trips being planned!
