new post

today i won $20 on a crossword scratchy.
it was cool.

hey alex-if you had come over like we said you would already be 18 over here. cos its currently 1:27am.
unlucky. happy birthday for tomorrow.

tomorrow night we might be going out cos its thirsty thursday. sounds good doesnt it.
tonight we went to this joint that had a deal for 2 pizzas and a pint for $25.
me kelly and jarryd had already hit it up before. its a good deal.

thats about it for now. me and cal and tom have just been chillin on the internet and playin a shitload of pool lately. me and tom are about even, but tonight i beat cal 5 games to 1 and last night it was 6 -2, so he clearly has some catching up to do.
me and cal have been hitting up ibeatyou a bit. tom reckons he does too much stuff on the internet already and doesnt wanna get sucked into another thing. but i just reckon he has no game, and doenst wanna get pooned.

oh well

christchurch

we arrived in christchurch a couple of days ago. we are just chillin up here for a bit then probably heading back down to queenstown.
today and yesterday have been really nice, with not a single cloud in the sky. feels like being back in oz.
we aren't really doin to much. just hanging out, playing cranium and watchin movies.
cant believe collingwood lost to st kilda.
i did not see that coming. they were the only team that could've beaten geelong as well.
and i cant beleive how short the odds are for ablett to win the brownlow. he must have had a killer season. i hope jimmy bartel wins again though.
we dont really have much else to say about over here.
just thought i would keep everyone up to date

the all nighter all dayer

last night i was watching movies after going to the movies. now last time i blogged i said cal and jarryd went out, whilst me and tom watched a second movie. anyway, cal got home at about 5 (whilst i was cooking nofast). anyway, i was cooking some rice, and i thought i would melt some cheese with it cos thats actually the only food we have left. then cal comes home and starts talking but little did i know that whilst he's chatting about his night, he is steadily demolishing all my cut up cheese. next thing i know, cals in bed and i have a huge bowl of plain white long grain rice.
so i rummage through the pantry to see if there is any herbs, spices or condiments that i can add to my plain rice. after a thorough search, i add some salt, ground pepper, extra virgin olive oil, and..... a few dashes of lemon juice. and then HEY PRESTO!!! it was an instant classic. so i go downstairs and watch the karate kid 2 then cool runnings then manj comes home. little did i know, day was starting to break, but jarryd was full engrossed about some wild story involving him, a cage fighting bouncer, and a ship on the wharf, and a runaway golf cart.
next mintue, he is keen for some nofast so i go up an listen to him blabber on a bit more(he was quite maggot) then we devise the ultimate plan.
you see, we have got into a routine of going to be late and waking up late, so we thought if we pull an all nighter and all dayer, we will go to bed early the next night, therefore wake up early the next morning. the plan was foolproof, so began a day of no sleep.
little did we know, the adventure had just begun...
so we created a list of stuff we should accomplish, while our twin pals slept soundly in their beds.
the list was outrageous, ludacris, and highly dangerous. just the way we like it.

the first thing on our list was less of the dangerous crap and more towards our sensitive side.
at about 7:30am we walked down through the queenstown gardens, which, i implore you, is one of the most beautiful and glorious places in all the land. after this stunning and magical walk, where i say unashamedly, i was on the verge of tears of bliss, we headed down towards the stunning lake wakitipu. but even professer trelawney could not have forseen the adventure that followed. it was on the edge of the lake, looking over the water, that i remembered somewhere deep in my subconcious, about a jetty that had some unusual sentimental value to it. i had to get to this jetty. joni loves chachi.
we realised that the only way accross this lake was to either swim, or boat. seeing as neither of us had bought our swimming trunks, and i felt no need to freeze my robot balls off, we decided to highjack a sea vessel of some sort.
after much deliberation, the plan was set. we "borrowed" a canoe, then jarryd paddled out to a dingy tied to a buoy, untied it, then brought it in. we were going to use a dingy off the beach, but they were all chained up. then we beached the canoe, and started the treacherous row accross the deadly lake wakitipu. but after about 2 mins, we realised that there was a shitload of water getting in to the boat. so then we took her ashore, tipped out the water, i stuck my chewy in a hole to stop the water getting in, then we set off once more. it wasnt to be an easy paddle though, as we only had one canoe paddle to row us accross. but despite the rowing troubles and the deadly pirhannna's, the lake had so much serenity that we named the boat 'cool runnings'. which means "peace be the journey". in all seriousness the lake is about a kilometer wide so after paddling for ages we finally made it to the other side. then we moored it at a little jetty, and set on by foot. by now we looked like true expeditioners as we had bare feet, rolled up trackies and a hiking stick to hike with. after a dangerous walk through the queenstown golf course, we finally reached the jetty. we walked up to it and engraved in the jetty was "the jeffery wharf".
so i figured it was named after me when i was born or something. (actually named after the late jim jeffery)
so after checkin some stuff out, we paddled home, returned the boat and canoe and no-one knew it was ever gone.
then we headed off to our next adventure.
so we decided to go home and on the way got some $1.15 pies (the most sloppy, dirty, rank-ass pies in the world... but sort of satisfying)
we got back at 11am but we just took that as "bourbon o'clock".
soon, after sharing some stories with some canadian girl (who always talks about herself) we ran out of bourbon so we cracked open a bottle of whiskey. then we cooked up a fresh dose of the salt pepper lemon oil rice. which soon after being cooked we realised we weren't hungry in the slightest.
now, after several glasses of whiskey we decided to update the blog, before the adventures of today become too much and we forget shit out.

tonight we are planning to go out, which our two mcmulkin friends will be in on for sure. but we will be forgoing sleep for quite a while. wish us luck.

peace

movies

today was cheap tuesday at the movies so i went to see taken and tropic thunder.
taken was hell good. probably one of the best movies i have seen all year. i liked tropic thunder, but not as much as alex rated it on his blog.
now over here i have seen: the dark night, get smart, the x files, hellboy 2, tropic thunder, taken, star wars, the forbidden kingdom, and wanted.
going to the movies is good. i like it.
when i get back to busso i am starting up a movie blog site. tom has already agreed to be a co-author, and if anyone else wants to blog about movies, let me know so they can help. it will be good.
today it was raining all day, and im not sure if it even stopped for like 10mins.
tomorrow the weather is gunna be crap so we will maybe go to the luge and hit that up.
at the moment me and tom are at the backpackers but cal and manj are out at surreal. apparently they are having a kareoke night but you can play the drums as well if you want, so cal skipped the movie to go do that and jarryd went with him. we might go check it out to.

thats all for now.
alex get your shit together and blog more.

last night we went out again.
but after 3 consecutive nights of partying i didnt end up waking up till 7:30pm today.
same with cal and tom, but manji got up a bit earlier.
the reason i am writing this is cos nothing really interesting happened last night. it was just completely normal.
so yeah.

friday and saturday night

on friday night we did some cool stuff.
we left our backpackers around 12 but tom pussed out really bad and stayed home. i was drinkin at an unneccisarily fast pace so after a few teapots and beers at the world bar i realised i was probably gunna throw up. so i walked home by myself without telling cal and manj and when i got home i walked past the tv room. high school musical 2 was on so i was like hell yeah and walked in and sat down. in there were two not bad lookin canadian girls. after i had talked to them for a bit, i challenged them to some circle of death the following night. little did i know, i said that we would meet in the kitchen at 9pm.
anyway they went to bed and suddenly i realised i was being a pussy so i called manj, and found out were they were. then i met up with them and the rest of the night we went round to different bars. we ended up going to: the world, tardis, sky, subculture, barup, minibar, and winnies.
then we went back home at about 4:30, and put on high school musical 2 again.

on saturday we went round to jocks at about 5 for a bbq. there was actually heaps of people there, so we had a few beers, and everyone thought it was funny that cos we had just woken up pretty much it was like having a beer with breakfast. jocks mate wattsy was there and he is one of the most random blokes in the world. i have heard so many stories about him, the best being that one time he was driving a tour bus up to this place on top of a hill, but for the scenic walk, he would drop the people at the bottom so they could walk up and by the time they got to the top he wouldve driven up and prepared some tea and biscuits for them. but on this day he was in a hurry, so got to the top, parked the bus, but forgot to put on the handbrake. so next minute he sees the bus rolloing towards the edge of the cliff, he chased it and caught it but found himself about to dive in and whack on the brakes, but it was pretty close to the cliff, so he just bailed and watched it roll down the cliff.
then he walked down the hill to the horrified tour group who had just seen the bus roll down a cliff face, and still carrying the biscuit tin the first thing he said was "does anyone want a biscuit?"

well he was at the bbq and was being fairly boisterous, but apparently he was being quiet compared to usual so it would be funny to see him on a good day.
so after some good dinner(and the second salad i have had this month) we ventured home.
we ended up going out at about 12 to the world bar where i seen the two canadian girls who had been waiting in the kitchen at 9 oclock to play circle of death. but they soon got over it and the rest of the night was spent chilling with them. at one stage tom got dared to take off his shirt and go hit up the d-floor. for everyone reading this that knows tom then you can tell he had no problem getting his rig out, and was soon dancing getting weird looks from everyone.
at the end of the night thomas took a turn for the worse and looked very close to throwing up, next minute he says hes goin home and stumbles out. so i told cal and manj i would follow him.
but when i got out the door i seen tom running home. i was like there is no way im running. so i walked home, went to our room and he wasnt there. so i was like he is definately in the toilets throwing up. but on the way i seen him on the computer and he said he was perfectly fine. so after coming home for nothing, i called manj. cal was in line at fergburger so i told manj to tell cal to get me some chips. he wouldnt so i hung up and grabbed his pillow, slid it out of the pillowcase, threw the pillow outside in the garden and stuffed his pillowcase full of his clothes. when he got home he wasnt happy.

now were just preparing to go out again. i rechallenged the canadian girls to a rematch, so we might do that. thats all for now

the adventure day

last night we went and saw the forbidden kingdom. i liked it cos it had some good fight scenes with jackie chan and jet lee. they know some mad asian kung fu.
we went to bed reasonably early but there are some indian people staying in the room next door. for some reason they started being really loud and woke me up at 1:58am. i heard one of them yelling a bit later then someone came and told them off and one of them said "sorry, its just our friend raja, he cant hold his alcohol".
then at about 3(i was still awake) jarryd started talking in his sleep. i was laughing to myself and wrote down what he said on my phone. it was "everything worked out pretty good, so dont delete it. just leave everything the way it is" haha random!
then i realised i was still full awake so i listened to all the best songs of the high school musical 1+2 albums.
then i listened to jack johnsons newest album, which is hella good.
then i tried to sleep for a bit, but had to get up to have a wee.
i tried to sleep some more, but next minute toms alarm went off. it was 7 and i still hadnt slept from when raja woke me up.
the reason tom set his alarm for so early was cos him and cal were doing the nevis bungy and had to be in town at 8. so they left and then i finally fell asleep, but was woken when the mulks got back.
then we left to the shotover canyons, where jarryd and tom did the jet boat while me and cal chilled.
then we all caught the bus to the canyon swing.
it is a 60m freefall then it swings you round at speeds of 200kmh.
cal went first and the blokes said cos he had already done the nevis bungy he had to go backwards. he did it all smooth and lookede stoked when he came back up.
then i went. the guys rigging it up are constantly trying to scare ya, so when i was just about to jump off, they debated for a few minutes whether or not i needed some extra clip that was just hanging off me, not attached to anything. finally they said that it wouldnt matter, and i asked them if they were sure and one of the blokes looked hell hesitant and just said he didnt know and we will find out once i jump. the bastards.
i did the pin drop, but as soon as i started dropping my limbs were flapping everywhere and jarryd reckons i was trying to fly.
jarryd did the pin drop next and after him tom went backwards. about halfway down tom started kicking his legs and thrashing about so he looked like "a fish out of water" according to the guys.
then i went again and they said i had to do a backwards one this time. they were psyching me out, telling me i had to do an 'elvis cutaway', but it looked crazy so i blurted out "i'd rather do a backflip." they thought that was an even better idea but once i got to the edge i pussed out and said, nah i will just jump off regular backwards. but they said that i wasnt allowed to change so i had to do a backflip. it was cool though, it was hella fun.
then manj went again and they strapped him in a chair and he sat there and rocked back off the edge, doing a backflip then twisting into a sideflip. it looked hell funny. after cal went he raced up and filmed the last five, so we got some good footage.
tonight we are hitting up the town big time.
my hands are still shaking, jumping off the ledge was probably the best thing i have ever done. next time i come to queenstown, there is no way im not doing it.

2 kilo's and a carton

so yesterday we woke up pretty early-about 10:30.
then we cruised down to the supermarket to get our 2kg each.
this is what we each got...
brock- 600g sausage, 350g polony, 400g ham, 350g beef shnitzel, 300g little red sausages.
tom- 1kg bacon, 1kg sausages.
cal- 1kg bacon, 925g ham, 75g pepperoni.
jarryd- 400g polony, 300g little red sausages, 1.3kg sausages.

after that we went to the bottle shop and the other three bought speights, whilst i bought export gold.
we started at pretty much exactly 1pm. we started off enthusiastic, but after a while me and jarryd were getting worried about the meat, thinking we wouldnt be able to do it, whereas the mulks thought that the beers would be a tougher task.
after about 6 hours through we had all eaten about 1kg of meat, but the beer drinking was spread out throughout the feild, with the most drank being 12, the least being 6.
watching scrubs at 8:00pm, the frontrunner had slowed down a fair whack, and the whole group was tiring.
it was after scrubs that things started turning a little wierd. cal went up to get his remaining 800g of ham to eat, but came back saying that he couldnt find it. he kept searching throughout the night and concluded that it must have been 'stolen'.
tom also, after scrubs, went to cook the 800g of bacon he had remaining, but he also, after much searching, decided that it had been stolen.
me and jarryd thought it was a bit suspect, but they seemed to be telling the truth. so tom decided that he was drinking that much anymore, and ended up bailing on 12. the other three of us kept soldiering away. we put on cruel intentions, which went with beer like peas and carrots.
at around 12:30 i finished my last beer, then went upstairs and nailed back the rest of my snags by about 1am, exactly 12hours after we started.
jarryd finished his food soon after and then finished beer number 24 at about 3am. cal then ended up drinking 6 beers in about 1 and a half hours to fall in just behind jarryd at 3:30am.
it was a good day.

and thats the way the cookie crumbled

Tuesday, September 2, 2008

today be the day that i have dreamt about for many a month.
the events that are about to go down, will be forever talked about and relived. we wake up as men, but will sleep tonight as legends, having accomplished a feat that sent shivers down chuck norris's spine. an event that was like a heavy dose of kryptonite to superman. yes, not even Boony could do it, and he nailed 50 beers in one flight(see here)

Today, we are doing 2(not 1).... kilo's and a carton.
two kilo's and a carton.

we are heading down to the supermarket soon. everyone is keen for snaggers, and calum wants to get maybe 1.5 of ham, so everyone is thinking about which meat to go. after that we are heading to the bottle shop to get our cartons. im pretty excited. i have decided to start at 12 and finish at 12, so i go 1 beer every half hour.
for those who dont realise its pretty self explanatory. we have to eat 2kgs of any meat and a carton of beer in a day. i cant wait.

we went and saw hellboy 2 the other day. lame! i thought it was the worst movie i seen all year and apparently it was better than the first hellboy haha
on tuesday i will probably hit up taken and tropic thunder cos its like half price then.

last night we went to jocks for tea. it was awesome to have a healthy meal, and finally one that didnt consist of noodles. it was hell good and so was desert.

on friday we have a few events booked. mulks are gunna do the nevis bungy jump. then tom and jarryd are doing the shotover jet. then we are all doing the canyon sswing. i decided to bail on the jet cos i done it before but we heard off people that the canyon swing is prett terrifying so that should be enough i reckon.
we havent doine much snowboarding since i smacked my face into the ground on friday night. its been bad weather and is pouring right now. i cant actually see good either. when i close my right eye i cant even read with my left, there is just a massive purple blurry bit right where i focus. if its still there when i get back to busso im definately gunna see a doctor i reckon.

theres not much else to tell. happy birthday to my brother.
thats about it. im just getting amped for some serious drinking.

brocky
