Point and Click

Seems like all I do is moan on this blog, so I've got up early to post something, as I'm always upbeat in the mornings. I had pancakes for breakfast, filled with salad (because that's what needed finishing up: lettuce, tomato, cucumber etc), so healthy! Except all the butter coating the pancakes says otherwise.

I'm running out of programs to watch with dinner, having gone through 2 seasons of Arrested Development, 3 of Black Books, Darkplace, Firefly, FLCL, and most of the movies I brought. Right now, I'm on Bucky O' Hare (he goes where no ordinary rabbit would dare), after which I decide whether to watch my way through Kenan and Kel... or just not.

Oh, I did get an email from google just there now, telling me they're excited to announce that finally the nexus one is available in the uk! grrrrrrrr...
Yes, yes, I know I'd rather have a droid, I'd rather have any android phone really, I've got ideas for a few killer apps and a will to learn how to make-em.
If I had a smartphone I'd want lots of surfing time, but I don't have one, and I don't make many (if any) calls, which Australia's mobile services don't seem to cater for. I did ask at a 3 shop recently to find out what deals they do, and the best they could offer me, the lowest use prepay (pay as you go) offer, was to top up the minimum ($10 probably, though it could be $20) every month, and what you don't use always expires at the end of the month, so you have to top it up again. The only way to not get charged monthly, is to sit on an empty sim card and assume the first phone call you make will cost $10-20.
I had £5 on my phone in the uk for about 3 months, always available even if I never used it, most of it was still there when I left for Australia.

So I'm sitting in the computer barn at west campus, waiting for the banks to transfer some money into my account, then I can go buy the laptop power supply, use the laptop to restore the flash drive, open the flash drive to get my files, take the files to uni to work on, finish and submit.
Feels like I'm in a point and click adventure.
