New Adventures

Today is new adventures day, so here we go...

Friday

So Danny gave us all a call and asked us to go over to his house for band practice [I am not actually in a band, but some of my friends are in an awesome rock band named Take The State, and I do sound for them, as well as help out with arrangements and production etc]. We went over and jammed a little, but nothing serious and we listened to some music, and thereafter we started a fire and sat outside chatting. Gareth had his trusty pipe at hand, and so we lit up and all was well. Then Danny pulled out his home made bong type thing and we smoked through that, which to be fair was quite a lot nicer. All was well until Danny used a till slip to roll the tobacco and I breathed in a large chunk of smoke which clearly contained some burnt ink from the till slip. Not fun, as I started coughing and felt rather ill…

I do feel rather bad because we asked one of our friends who is in the band, Richard, to help us pack the pipe, and so he did. Problem was that we’d forgotten that he’d quit smoking 5 months earlier. Oops, I hope we haven’t just derailed his hopes of escaping the addiction we affectionately term smoking. Think it’ll be fine though.


Saturday

This past Saturday was pretty tame in comparison to last week, but it was fun nonetheless. The evening started out with me heading out to Joel and Candice’s engagement party, which was pretty cool. I got to have awesome sea food, and hang out with the usual crowd, it was great weather so good times.

Thereafter I went home and waited for Matt to arrive to pick me up, because we were going to a braai at Justin’s house to meet his girlfriend who was down on holiday from Jo’burg. He phoned me and said “I’m going to be there in a few minutes”, and so I was content to wait for him to arrive. Unfortunately for him, his sense of time is quite bad because I had to wait for over 30 minutes before he arrived. Oh well, I forgave him.

The braai was cool; we just smoked the infamous pipe and hung out. All in all a normal night.


Wednesday

I took my car off to the repair shop and I am finally going to get the bumper and everything sorted out. In case you don’t know, my car has had its front bumper missing for a long time. Like a really long time, so I’ve been getting cash together for a while and I now have enough to fix it and then all will be well again. I’m psyched.


Thursday

So this morning I went over to the Fantasy Premiership League site pretty excited to see how many points I’d scored after last night’s games. And I was pleasantly surprised, having scored 75 points!

In my team I have:

Rooney [Man U]
Van Persie [Arsenal]
Cousin [Hull]
Lampard [Chelsea]
Ronaldo [Man U]
Harman [Man City]
Delap [Stoke]
Deridder [Wigan]
Terry [Chelsea]
Turner [Hull]
Traore A [Portsmouth]
Donk [West Brom]
Barnett [West Brom]
Myhill [Hull]
Given [Newcastle]

Obviously not all of those players are in the team at once, but I think I took a good approach when choosing my team. I chose player I thought would be great, and then filled the rest of the squad up with average player I thought would play for 90 minutes every game. These are the players I chose first:

Rooney
Van Persie
Lampard
Ronaldo
Terry
Turner
Myhill

The rest of them I chose because I figured that they’d get me some points, and they have.
