Cheese, Guiness and Trees

- Halright. I'm still waiting for the kettle to ring. The only thing that could keep me awake at this hour is either sitcom reruns or a big cup of coffee. I like my coffee warm and black. With shitloads of sugar. It does make me sorta .. 'twitchy' before I go to bed. Which is pretty awesome. I once put 1 full tablespoon of sugar in a single cup. That was uncool. Twitched until my first lecture in the morning. Didn't get much sleep either.

So I saw the expiry date of the beans, right. It says, Best before 28 Nov 2009. How could one know the expiry date if there is no preservatives? Preservatives are not.. nice. Not that I don't like them. I enjoy KFCs. Hmm. Wicked wings. Mmm. It could last 6 months in the fridge. Mmm. Ok, maybe the nescafe guys know how to figure out the exact expiry date for their products. That is not awesome at all if you happen to drink a coffee with an expiry date of 28 Nov 2009 on the night of the 27th. Uncool. You could get, like, bad diarhoea in the morning. Because the thing expires right when the arrow strikes 12 at night. Meh.

- Beers doesn't have expiry dates right? But the process of creating beer itself is fermentation. And fermentation is .. the decaying of.. stuff. Right? The actions of microorganism, converting sugar into something else. Most of the time these bacterias form mold spore colony on the surface. Ladies, the blue cheese:










Those green stuff are mold colony. Awesomer.

Had a lot of these with crackers during Industry Night. And with a cup of wine. It made me look sophisticated and.. complex. With my black suit, shirt and multicolor tie. Not bad at all. Wasn't much use to me though. Mmm. Not many girls do engineering, let alone come to Industry Night. Fascist.

- Went to the pub this evening. I wonder why they still call it 'the university hotel'. Probably was a hotel ages ago. Then they turned it to a pub because there's a new hotel in the city called the Hilton. If you look at these pubs (pubii, pubs, pubbles, pubicles, what's the plural for pub?) , most of them are only two floors high. Kinda remind me of European taverns or inns. The same idea, obviously. Early settlers (who would later on settle Caulfield or Balaclava or whatever) probably stayed at these inns, before embarking on their.. settling journey? And of course, the travellers during the ancient Victoria Gold Rush(es). It would be neat to be travelling during that time period. It's romantic, in a creepy-Victorian-epic kind of way.

- I read this story about a modern, turn of the century Indonesian man and his lover, a sophisticated pro-feminist Balinese girl. Set in the early 20th century, the story tells of their meeting and subsequent journey around Java. I forgot most of the details. But my point is, living in that era would have been.. I don't know, romantic? Sexy? Cool? Or maybe it's because I do not like the idea of kids beating my ass constantly, technology-wise. Gw gaptek.

- Never have a drink with someone that doesn't have an alcohol tolerance level. i.e. invulnerable to alcoholic drink. It'll make ya feel weak and un-manly inside. You drink one glass of Carlton, then you feel a bit Zen. He drinks a huge jug of Guinnes and did not twitch. Not one bit. That is uncool. Moving on.

- Other than pondering about the origin of pubs (pubicles, pubbles, etc) and cheese, I spent most of the day doing my assignment (spatial analysis. fascist.) and spending some quality time with my new camera. Neat.

As you can see, I like trees.

- I haven't read the newspaper in days. I'm not a big fan of reading news in the internet. I like the feeling of reading news from a cold, hard paper in your hands. And also the feeling you get when reading the Saturday/Wednesday issue of The Age. It's so thick, you can use it to cause an internal bleeding in a hobo-hippie's head.

It's two in the morning and I haven't had my daily Supcom fix. Yarr.
Time to kick some ass. Cheers,
Putra
