It's not a good idea to laugh at them if they're holding sharp objects...

I know it's out of context - but I was only just able to not laugh as the doctor goes - "Tell me if you feel any other random pricks".

True, I was being sliced up under a local anasthetic at the time but stil...

Okay I have a dirty mind...

Could have been better

Auckland, you suck...

I admit that my previous opinion of QOTSA was wrong. They are ******* awesome live! My only problem was that I couldn't find the mosh pit - seriously, the ******* thing was tiny - even for "little sister" and "noone knows". That almost disappointed me. But they played "the fun machine took a shit and died" and I'm pretty sure I heard "run pig run". Josh Holmes is a fucking legend!

However, the pumpkins did. Billy, if you're going to wear a freaking skirt again, you can at least play your old track to make up for it. Where were Zero, Disarm and Rocket?? It's bad enough that you made the 9 minute odd "United States" go on for about 15 (as everyone is looking around bored shitless), but I left disappointed. Admittedly I found the pathetic excuse for a mosh pit, so with no effort I made 5th row centre - but it was disappointing.

Oh well...

What's na, 200bhp and only 2.0l...

It's so damn purty. And I'm now so damn poor.

I liked having money... but only 30,000km on the clock... and 200bhp without a turbo.

Still need to sort out a $13k bank loan, since I don't trust finance companies (especially fuckers that charge me 15.20%)!!!

Oh well... pumpkins gig tonight.

If I didn't know what it was... I'd be going (more) insane...

Today started of well... then all turned to pigshit.

Enough about that... I swear some bastard at work has gone out and planted an Annoy-a-tron. The beeping is mildly irritating (though i have an iPod, so it's moot). The annoying thing is... some fucker has gone and done it before me. Now I told only a couple of people of this item...

This is 10% luck, 20% skill...

So it's about time for my (seemingly) monthly post... yawn....

Well.... for the past 3 weeks Tash and I have been living together. It's a temporary arrangement. Things are easier than I imagined. This should be worrying... We'll see. I was expecting far more problems to come up. My main peeve is that I'm being woken up at 7am! About another week and this "experiment" will be over.

It all came about as an issue of convenience... her flatmates said they were movng out with about a week's notice. This basically left her parents as the only viable option. I disagreed, given that my vcurrent situation allows me some flexibility - plus its good to cook for 2 for a change. Now that I think of it, all that I've done is prove that I'm housebroken - which is likely to lead further to my downfall. Hell, it's only been just over 3 months... gimme a few more and things should turn into pig****.

Sold 2 of the pumpkins tickets as nobody else (relative term) was keen. The fact that I got over face value for them was beside the point. The pre-sale experiment was a success.

Work is busy. It's going to be a case of 6 day weeks etc to get everything done in time. Am starting to hate work... but it could always be worse. It's kinda cutting into almost all of my gym time... at teh wrong time of the year. It'll sort itself out (hopefully)

Will need to start looking at property soon - possibly after I come back from the UK. Currently, I can only really borrow $350k max. That's enough for what I have planned. The two options are (1) LAQC with Dad... which is the preferred option, or (2) Wait a couple of months until my income rises.

Cricket has been rained out the past 2 weks. Not only does that **** me off - it also mean that the team won't be making a profit as planned. If I'm lucky, we break even.

Funnily enough, I've yet to get off my **** and apply for full CA membership. I've done the hard part - all I'm really doing is being cheap as the membership fees go up...

And finally, I need to make sure that when the Traffic Gods karmically strike down a fuckwit driver with gridlock it's not the car right in front of me. The fucker deserved it though, cut right in front of a truck of the m'way and then hauled on teh brakes - needless to say the truck locked up and just avoided a mean smash. They've really got to stop handing out drivers licences in weetbix packets!

Heaven smiles above me What a gift there below But no one knows

I love pre-sales...

I am now in possession of 4 pumpkins GA tickets... well that's not true, but they're being couriered my way.

Whilst they're available to the public starting 9am Monday, ticketmaster members were able to get them from midday today. So I became a member of ticketmaster. Once midday came around, the option came up - but you needed a password to access the sales. This was unexpected, I didn't have the password. So I entered the name of their latest album (Zeitgeist), which happened to be the only word in block capitals on the page, and I was in.

Seriously, if the password gets cracked on the first go, it's not good security... douchebags.

So now I'm telling everyone I know (and like) how to get the presale. The offer finishes at 5pm on Sunday the 10th.

I have a feeling that they're going to be worth as much as the foos tickets... so if worse comes to worse I can always flogg two off on trademe. Don't worry Mike, I'll only charge you cost price...

(no subject)

Ok, in the words of the-not-so-talented Eddie Vedder Iiiiiiiooooooooo I'm stil alive...

As aluded to in my last post I'm no longer single. Still don't know how that happened - I was drunk at the time. I seem to be in so much credit I can do damn near nothing wrong - which is a worrying thing that I'm sure to screw up sooner rather than later. She's slightly older than me... but definitely no issues. Things are just going too well at the moment - so well it's scaring the **** out of both of us.

Went to the big day out for the first time in a few years. It was ~~one of~~ the weakest lin-up they've ever had - and re-inforced my hatred of bjork. She sounded like two whales mating whilst someone put their nails down a blackboard. Or as

mickwanny put it, things have come out of his arsehole sounding better than her. Worst of all, the dumb bitch came back for an encore - and I'd been one of the 10,000 people booing her for most of her (tediously long) set. Rage rocked - simple as that. Met a nice girl called Katie in the middle of the moshpit (as only I seem to do) who I ,managed to lose on the way back to supergroove (NOTHING happened, I was just going to play wingman...). Other highlights included Grinspoon (as always.... managed to survive 3 circles [re: circle of death] and still get to the 3rd or second row in from of Phil), the Bleeders (Where Chilly got thrown in his first moshpit... oh...), Shihad when they played their old stuff and the suprise package... Opshop - well, for one song where they got the lead of Blindspott to mix "S.U.I.T." with "Maybe". I didn't see enough of Supergroove - and was way too wasted to notice much apart from DLT and Che Fu singing Chains...

I also should have seen more Antiflag. I thought they would be gay - but they weren't too bad... though I was tempted to enter the mosh to "seek and destroy" the little shits wearing misfits t-shirts. Nightwatchman set was the same time as Grinspoon - so stiff shit Tom...

I'm sure I was way more active in other BDOs... maybe I'm getting old - but I think the lineup just wasn't worth it.

I compounded that by playing cricket the next day. We were short, but won against a good team (with 1 wicket and 8 overs to spare). I was part of a 90 run stand that saw it most of the way through, then decided to get cheeky and picked out a fielder. I was disappointed with 21. This was the same team we lost 7/17 against last time... so glad to win it.

Tickets are booked for UK and Europe in May - with stops in Amsterdam, Hamburg and Prague.

I've also been back to the gym since my last post - to the point where I have gained muscle and still managed to lose 3kg! At the same time - I can no longer stomach junk food, my body rejects it. This can only be a good thing...

And Mike, you were right about that Grinspoon track, (fuck you :P ).

Such a strange time to find myself coming down as the rain

Ok, first things first. I passed. Actually, I KICKED THE CRAP out of the exam. I needed 300/500 to pass - and got 364. Since the average was 335 and 86% of people passed, statistically that should mean that I was in the top 20-25%. Not bad on roughly 10 hours study (compared to 100+ for many others).

Sure, there wasn't much doubt - until the paranoia kicked in 30 minutes before the results came out. I now have to wait until February/March to get the bit of paper - as I haven't completed the work experience component. Bugger.

Incidentally, of the 2 of us from work doing the exam I got the lowest mark. I'm going to be hearing smack about that for weeks.

Went on a drinking ~~(bender? binge?)~~ night after the results came out. Ended up in a "complicated situation" with an ex. Nothing happened... but the sheer potential of what could have was worrying - and also backed up previous assumptions about the situation. The less said about that the better.

Also caught up with an old workmate. I also received a text congratulating me from someone who left work (and a shitload of problems behind. My response was "Who is this. I failed. Thanks for rubbing it in dickhead." Admittedly I discussed this answer with half the office - and everyone else found it funny (except for the recipient). Life's a bitch ain't it?

It's debatable whether or not I am single - I'm in the position where I don't know. Assuming that I am - I'm making a late run at a "boyfriend of the year" award. You see, I have a second job involving financial accounts & controls at a certain cosmetics wholesaler/distributor. Mention that I have a missus to the owner, and after being quizzed on skin types/clothing (blah fricking blah, I'm a guy and not meant to know these things) by the owner I'm given a $100+ pack of make-up by the owner.

There are times when I wonder how I manage to bullshit my way into these situations. My answer is still "Shut up and use it to your advantage" - what else is there to do?

Oh well, I'd better rack these "brownie points" up now, as I'll slide into negatives before too long (this is me after all). I'm already in the mad positives for prior acts - this will just blow her mind!

Honestly... that's the reason why I have make-up in the car (unopened). I'm not turning emo! (they're neutral colours anyway - not black).

I'll go back to the gym eventually. Should be tomorrow. Hopefully - but I've been saying that for a while now.

We don't need your hypocrisy Execute real democracy. Post-industrial society The unthinking majority

Um yeah… long time no update…

Little to tell. Exam came and went. Took 2 weeks off to study, spent most of it at the gym or sleeping… good times.

Exam was complete bollocks. The two compulsory questions were along the lines of "none of this was anything you studies… please bull**** an answer". I expect to pass with ease. I finished within the 6 hours... just. Results come out Dec 8^th. Then hopefully I can legally put 2 stupid letters after my name. After 7 years this had better be worth it!

Cricket season is around again. The team’s struggling already – our middle order makes the Black Craps look good. We lost 7/17 last week, losing a game we should have easily won. Luckily I’m a top order batsman (who scored 1/3 of the team’s runs before being given for a BS LBW – so it wasn’t my fault).

I’ve been averaging 10+ overs a game, unfortunately not scoring enough runs… yet. Am now used to the new (heavier) bat, so that should change. Though I just had a nets session and caught a ball flush on the toes. It’s probably a bad sign that I can see the bruising in the toes already – thankfully it was from the spinner or my foot would need to be in a cast.

The team also gave me the job of "Joey". Basically I’m the sucker who gets the cash, buys the beer, gets the gear and pays the subs. The trouble is, these guys like to drink (at least 5 dozen Heineken a game). I've yet to get the unit price below $1.50 a bottle.

Work is bearable. The manager and I have an "understanding". This occurred after someone else left. He was giving both of us crap. In the other guy’s case it was because he was an unproductive **** whose left a few "presents" for us to clean up sicne he left. In my case it was so it didn’t look as though he was picking on the other guy. Before the **** left he tried to make it look as though the manager was saying stuff about me instead of him – saw that one coming. Why do people do that?

Planning on going to the UK in May (for a month, you ain’t rid of me yet). Haven’t been back in a while (15 years…), should catch up with a few people, and get on the piss with my cousins. I’m also trying to get tickets to Anfield (Man City game) before Liverpool move into the new stadium. It’s a hard ask, but I have my ways. I’m also looking at going to the Tottenham away game – but I may have to sit with the home fans. To avoid getting hospitalised, I won’t wear the Liverpool top & I’ll play the "ignorant kiwi" card.

I also plan on going to Europe. I need some suggestions on destinations. So-far all I have is:

Amsterdam

…

yeah, that’s all I got. Maybe Spain? Have to go to Germany as well. France? Italy?

I still have the urge to buy a turbo car – especially after testing a workmate’s WRX to see if there were clutch problems (no, but in his case there were driver problems). The trouble is I don’t want to waste $20,000 on a car. I s’pose I should look at property investment – but the market is over-inflated.

After the disappointment of today’s over-hyped BDO announcement, I really hope that there’s someone decent in the 3^rd announcement. Enter Shikari are screaming emo shyte – though Supergroove & the Bleeders are a plus (and Tom Morello). Still – I’d pay that much just to see Rage…

Nothing that you gave You took away from me

There's always some idiot that doesn't know when to give up.... unfortunately I made the mistake of picking up the phone on Friday...

I've been pretty busy lately, work + study + work + work means I'm getting used to being in the building at some odd hours. Just for sh**s sake, I started just after 6 on Friday. After the first couple of people (who came in after me) mentioned how early I was (only 3 1/2 hours earlier than normal...), I started getting cheeky and replying that they were just late...

At one point during the day a client I was dealing with asked my age because I sounded so young... I'm used to being told how young I look... being told that I sound young just compounds the problem...

Anyway, I left work just after 5 (life's unfair... get over it) since I had tickets to the Warriors match (10 rows back on the 20m line - its not what you know, but whose ass you kiss... or something to that effect).

When I get home the phone rings... this particular dumbass caught me tired, irritable and then had the effect of poking a grizzly bear with a sharp stick... he got off lucky...

Me: Hello?

Idiot: Hi, can I please speak to an adult?

Me: <in an indignant tone> Excuse ME?

Idiot: I asked if I could speak to an adult?

Me: …and I was hoping that from my tone you could tell you got that one wrong…

Idiot: Sorry, you sound really young (just keep digging buddy – China’s that-a-way)

Me: Uh huh…

*At this point, the intelligent person would realise that after insulting the person, they’re less likely to buy your crap/care about whatever you have to say. What’s worse is that if you’re doing it to me… I’m going to be a prick about it… because I can…

I was dealing with an idiot, so instead of doing the smart thing, they kept on trucking.

Idiot: I’m from the Young New Zealanders Group (at which point I switch off because he sounds like a Mini-National Party supporter… a species of noxious pest) blah blah youth suicide rates blah Do you know why NZ has such a high rate of youth suicide?

Me: An infestation of Emos?

Idiot: I’m sorry?

Me: …Not as sorry as I am…

Idiot: Do you even want to hear what I have to say?

Me: Couldn’t give a flying f*** <slams phone back in receiver>

Sure, I could have stopped the torture earlier… I also could have been much nastier…

There was a great atmosphere at a packed Mt Smart Stadium for the Warriors match… my only issues were with the officials and the final scoreline. At least I went to a match this season…

I'm the hand that takes you down and brings you to your knees...

I've definitely managed to sort myself out with a Warriors ticket - the next trick is to bull**** my way into getting a second - I won't be able to get more than that (unless I pay $100+ per ticket on trademe... and I'm paying almost face value for a ticket on the 22 instead).

I hate the fact that Aucklanders jump on the bandwagon when the team is winning - the damn thing sold out in 20 minutes! Sure, I support the bulldogs - but it's not exactly the strongest of allegiances - I've only been to Sydney for all of 30 minutes, and only supported them as a backup team (because of their colours) as a kid - I preferred the Bears! (and have the same amount of Bears tops as Doggies). Admittedly, I supported the doggies more recently because of their dodgy accounting practices (the irony of my profession is not lost on me).

But anyway - been pulling some bollock hours at work - though most of it seems to be centered around study and personal work. It's frustrating to be there for 13 hours and have barely 8 hours chargeable time - the traffic to get home is good though. I also have to consider whether to charge a client (who is among a group of friends etc) or not for work done. Last time it took 8 months and threatening baycorp (right before they were to sit their law profs) to get the money out of them. Truth be told, it took me about 3 hours to complete this year's stuff which I could charge anywhere up to $500 for - but pigs will fly before I see the money.

The study is going well - involved in a group project against other groups - and we a kicking butt! Unfortunately this doesn't relate to the important assessment, only the coursework portion. Thankfully, with the help of a colleague my group is changing their outlook on how we will prepare for the next workshop.

As usual, I am using most of what I have at my disposal to get the required result. I just need to work smarter - not harder.

Apparently I'm going running tomorrow - this will probably end up as pathetic as my last attempt (4.2km before I had to stop... what happened to my fitness?). At least now I have running shoes that won't damage my feet.

And one (of several) things I learned today - how to use hemming tape. Of course this was after learning how not to use it when I wondered my its wasn't working. The reason was that one 1 side sticks (funny that...). It still doesn't mean that I'm going to read the instructions.

The old man's somewhere around Columbia - I told him not to "bring anything back" from there... he does have to go back through the US... :P They changed the run again, so I assume he'll be back... holy crap I've just realised he's been away for 9 weeks!

I also have the "joy" of seeing my "brother" when he visits in November. Last time he realised that I can't be manipulated as "easily" as the thought, I'm expecting this time to be somewhat tedious given the change in circumstances. As the Radiohead song goes "You do it to yourself..."

Finally - how did a Michael Buble get on my iPod... there's probably worse on there....

Shouldn't I be asleep?

Sleep is for the weekend. For some reason my week starts off busy and gets busier - but not in an enjoyable way.

Managed to get the flu from the run I did on the 19th - who said that exercise was good for you? They lied!! So throughout the seminars and such I was dosed up on codral - I reckon the pseudoephedrine was the only thing keeping me awake. Seriously - a friday and saturday every month stuck in a room full of accountants and no way out - what did I sign myself up for??? I still managed to arrive 6 minutes late on the Saturday morning... the problem being that I live 5 minutes away. They might have heard me coming... whoopsie...

What worries me is the intelligence level of some of my "peers" (and i use that term lightly)... there are a few that I swear need instructions on how to breathe! That should worry me... but doesn't suprise me.

I have to meet with my group seeminly 1-2 times a week. The current project is the run of a fictional online bike company against the other groups. It's not exactly a hard task... just people management (but to the creators of "mikes bikes"... damn you). Unfortunately the group is not time-efficient... and I have the attention span of a goldfish at times (like... all of the time).

I now have a choice of cars to drive: the one without the warrant or the one without the registration... the registration's "in the mail" (paying online by creditcard the day its due = another stupid idea) and the other one (not mine) will get the warrant at the GI testing station on saturday (oh goody... an early weekend morning - yay me), but I really should get my **** sorted out.

Th lunar-eclipse was pretty cool. I left work at about 10 - so had a good view of it before it rained

Another year older, but still none the wiser...

OK, I have another of those annoying PAS workshops on friday - but the topic is now something that I am comfortable with - considering I aced a few papers in it a few years ago. A few...wait a sec that was 2003!

Now I'm starting to feel old...

Yeah, got older as well. Didn't get Jack (Jim or Johnny).  Spent teh day with the phone off doing very little - though I did go on a 4km run and cleaned my car, which hadn't happened for a while.

Dad's somewhere off the coast of Brazil at the moment - even though he has a satellite phone & modem I havent heard from him since the 13th. Hopefully he's well away from that hurricane that's about to decimate Jamacia - he's too smart to be anywhere near that kinda crap. I almost wish to see the look on his face when he looks at the date and says "oh shit".

Perhaps I should check the home email... it hasn't been checked in about a month. Last time I did that there was about 700 messages and I'd gone over the broadband limit - not pretty.

Work's calmed done... just means that another shitstorm is around the corner. Though a workmate seemed to get himself in some ****. You see "what goes on tour, stays on tour" - right? Not when the tour appears at work... and you're married! Apparently nothing happened and he'd just lead her on etc. I reckon he's full of **** and his lies caught up with him. There comes a time when it's a good idea to come clean - for him, that was a long time ago.

A friend got Linkin Park tickets. Seated. This will be the first concert where I have not been right in the middle of the mosh pit. I do not understand the concept of a seated concert - it's not ******* Andre Rieu! I'm not the greatest fan of Linkin Park (understatement of the year), and only agreed to go because Chris Cornell was touring. Then I heard his latest album. I like it about as much as his forst (when Soundgarden split). I'm hoping for Soundgarden and Audioslave (which is getting desperate) covers.

Apart from that I'm kinda/sorta going to the gym and with the running, I've dropped a kg or so in teh past fortnight.  I can't believe I was 57kg not so many years ago (and totally unfit). I guess that's what starting work at 2-3am gets you (I like to think of it as no life and "skeletor syndrome")

The muscle atrophy is wearing off. The plan for this cricket season is to move more towards increased fitness than muscle - a few of my londer innings left me pretty exhausted last year. Actually the plan is to score ****loads of runs and not to drop catches (proving that I can't play at slip)

Reminded myself why I don't like the TAB by betting on the Warriors to beat Canberra... and people wonder why I'm a doggies fan? Now I've just got to cut back my trademe addiction :P.

For some reason I've had a nagging urge to buy a GT4 Celica (or failing that, an Evo)... at least now I'll get cheaper insurance. It's not worth it, I'll either crash it, have it nicked, or skitz out in a couple of years when I realise it's not work jack ****.

I need your grace To remind me To find my own

It's good to be off work. Xmas bonus' are awesome (especially when in cash), though I'm getting sick of getting bottles of wine - I hate the stuff. Dad is more than happy to deal to the bottles of white, I'll just have to regift the bottles of red.

My plan over the next to weeks *should* be to go to the gym everyday. I need to regain the level of fitness that i was at a few months ago. Hell, I need to be way ahead of that by March. I may have lost a few kilos over the last six weeks... but it's from the arms to the gut.

I should be at the gym now... fat fucking chance. I'll also spend a bit of time down at the cricket nets... especially if the guys want me to keep bowling. I'll also have to do some running too... which is the least favoured option of the three.

One of the team (who missed the last game) came in for some accounting advice. I was suprised to hear he knew about all the game (though his flatmate did hit the winning runs).

Passport arrived today. I'm thinking about getting a British Passport as well just so taht I don't need to get the Caricom Visa.

I'm suprised that the PC hasn't blown up yet. I just installed some more RAM. The PC seems to accept it, but I'm waiting for it to blow up. It's bloody hard to source DDR333 PC2700 RAM these days... though I still managed it in less time and at 1/3 of the cost the tech guy at work could. He seemed very impressed.

Leaving Xmas shopping until the last minute was a bad idea as well.

Hey! Wait! I've got a new complaint Forever in debt to your priceless advice

Why is it I'm suddenly needed to bowl a full compliment of overs after I've screwed up my knee (we'll get to that later). have a tight shoulder (re: Cricket Practice) and have been on a 13 hour drinking binge.

Fuckers.

So I bowled at first change (talk about a dirth of bowlers). I was "lucky" enough to be bowling to a guy in form. My stats at the break were 5-1-19-1, and I was shattered. I was then called on to stem the flow of runs later... so my final stats were 7-1-31-1. Take out the 6 I was hit for and a shit ball that went for 4 and those were so damn good stats. I also got a case of heat-stroke. I missed a catch completely because I was trying to dry-retch.

We were meant to be playing dry. Nobody had brought any beers. However, some export gold promo girls were hnding out free 24 packs out of a yellow fire-engine (just like in the ad). Our game stopped as I ran up and grabbed some free beers. It would have continued... but I was bowling and might have had the match ball on me at the time... priorities...

The bastards then made me bat at #3. Then meant I was out in the middle on the 3rd ball of the innings. I stuck around for a couple of overs and got 4 before I played all over the top of a straight one. Actually, I think that was the first boundary I've hit all season.

And I'll edit and finish this later... places to go... things to do...

Okay so part 2 (some 4 hours later)...

I went back to the match before I was meant to go out. At some point last night it appears that I ripped my shoe. Dammit. Anyway we were doing really well, and I did my part by umpiring a few overs. I later found out that we won with 3 balls to spare!!!

I then caught up with some mates for 2-3 hours.

Last night... the short version was a 13 hour drinking binge involving Sangria, JDs, Tequila and the random Gin & coke I was given instead of a JDs and coke. I messed up my knee at one point when attempting to take a short-cut. I nearly face-planted but didn't... enough said.

Am very sore at the moment. Had cricket practice last night. I'm really starting to enjoy using the new bat.

About to shoot off to the work xmas function... carrying a slght cold - but a tonne of whiskey should clear that...

Oh... I also have a roll of duct tape in teh car... it's to fix my cricket pads... honest...

Growing darkness taking dawn I was me, but now hes gone, No one but me can save myself

F*ck I can't wait until work finshes for the year! The politics are crazy! The people that I can and cannot trust is crazy. I would say there are only 2 or 3 that I can trust.

Of course I am using this opportunity to fuck with people. I'm calm and polite with the person who tried to screw me over. Needless to say, they're confused and a bit scared... rightly so - I plan on having some "fun" when the opportunity arises...

I am unsure on my reaction to the work christmas party on friday. I'm either getting drunk on someone else's expense... or I'm there for the food then doing a disappearing act - which would send a very clear message to some people.

I'm also getting addicted to playing NWN2. I really need to complete it asap.

Finally some good news...

Being back at work is fun. By fun I mean it's stressful as hell and I'll probably go on a psychopathic rampage against half the office.

On the bright side it looks as though I'm getting sponsored to go to Antigua in late March. What's on there you say? The Cricket World Cup.

Tickets are about $500 a pop though... but that's getting sponsored as well...

Nothin is sacred to take and make entertaining (So take your seats coz the show is just beginning)

And it appears that a workmate is using my absence to settle a vendetta against me by spreading nasty rumours involving others etc.

The intent being to have nasty ramifications on me.

Forewarned is forearmed - but another mate is already onto it.

Not Happy!

I am going to have to think of something really nasty for my workmates.

Thanks to this.

It's all my stuff!!

The worrying thing is... I only noticed because the keyboard looked familiar.
