Busy Days

Ok, so I know it's been a while, but hey, I've been busy!! You know, with umm... study? Or something... Second semester has been and gone, not quite as awesome as the first, but great nonetheless, spending my days hanging out with mates and learning about things I'm actually interested in! Most of the time anyway... Results should all be out soon! Anyday now...

Last night was awesome! We've been off uni for a few weeks now so I thought I'd get a few people out of their hobbit holes for some drinks and a catch up, perhaps a few too many were had, but it was all for a great cause - socialism! Beer and pool and saw, through the brilliance of my peripheral vision, the slaughter of our NZ Breakers by the Sydney Kings, 109-88, better luck next time I guess... Which actually brings up a conversation I had with my mate playing pool yesterday, defining what is or what is not fate, coincidence and luck, and wether these terms can in fact be differentiated and how and can you only believe in one? Or can you believe in more than one? Or is that then selective belief? Undermining the actual being of such terms? Don't worry, I'm confusing myself too, anyway, it is an interesting topic of conversation...

But back to the sport:

The season of cricket is nigh! And indeed in my endeavours to extend my knowledge of the sport I shall revert to my reliable sorce of cricket gander from Jimmy Jangles, if he's still on top of it all. I've already checked all the dates and can't wait for beer in the sun (if it comes) and the international games coming to Wgtn, Sri Lanka, the Chappell-Hadlee Series, the Aussies and indeed I shall keep an eye on the Ashes!

Rugby - the AB's are kicking arse as usual, what more can I say?

I wonder when chicken wrestling will hit it big in NZ...
