Ok. After a couple of months of internal deliberation, I've decided to start a blog. I really don't know where I'm going to find the time to keep it updated, so expect posts to be sporadic at best.
Although primarily a technical blog, I will occasionally tell you about other stuff that interests me and random happenings in my life. On that note I'll start my blog off with a tale of public humiliation from last night. Don't actually know whether that's such a good idea or not. Oh well.
I went to see a comedian that was part of the NZ International Comedy Festival last night. His name was Stephen K Amos and he was brilliant... but boy oh boy did he do a number on me!
About 3/4 of the way through the show and after 4 coronas I needed to visit the little boys room. But being tall, as soon as I stood up I grabbed his attention.
"And where do you think you're going?!", he inquired.
I sheepishly replied "Toilet" and hurried my way through the crowd.
So anyway, I did what was needed and returned to my seat with no more attention from Mr Amos. After he finished his current joke he went on to say something along the lines of - "When I was little I use to pick my nose and eat it, did anyone else here use to do that?".
Immediately everyone else raises their hands, so my mind quickly flashes back to memories of my mother telling me off for doing exactly that... so I raise my hand along with the masses. The whole room turns to me and erupts in laughter. Confusion sets in.
3... 2... 1... Ohhhhh, I've been setup. *sigh*
In hindsight there was so much I could've picked up on. For example, the speed at which everyone else was prepared to say they indulged in nose gold or the hushed murmurings that occurred whilst I was visiting the toilet.
Oh well. Good job I say and at least I didn't get it anywhere near as bad as 'Tree Boy', but that's a completely different story! Ps. Got my 5 year Mt Ruapehu (photo in the header) ski pass today! Yowl!
