Surprise Song Sunday: End of Line - Daft Punk

I was listening to this song because it's cool, then I realised that it was sort of poignant.

Almost there.

Surprise Song Sunday: Instant Crush - Daft Punk

Surprise Song Sunday was skipped last week due to my pre-occupation with absorbing the awesomeness of Random Access Memories.

Just kidding.

But not really.

A little time with you is all that I get. 

Best song on the album.

Surprise Song Sunday: Get Lucky - Daft Punk feat. Pharrell

So funky. So fresh. Pharrell. Daft Punk. A match made in heaven.

500!

So last night, I log onto my Dashboard, and I see this:

How bizarre. After my 500th post, I hit 10,000 pageviews. Couldn't have planned it better myself. 

But yeah. Wow. 500 posts. Half of a thousand. Cinq cent. The big five-oh...oh. Together, those figures - the 500 and the 10,000 mean two things (but also, possibly quite more, but also maybe quite less, because, as we all know, you can read anything or nothing from stats):

1. I say a lot of things. 
2. Some people read some of these things that I say. 

To commemorate (for want of a better word) the 500th post, I've rejigged the blog layout. Allow me to guide you through it (if you haven't figured it out already. I know it took me a while to figure out what the hell was going on).

Click on posts to expand them. Just thought I should tell you, because it's not very apparent that they often expand into something bigger and greater.

At the top of the blog, I believe you can do all sorts of nifty things i.e. changing the layout. I think I've defaulted it to 'Magazine', because it's the one that doesn't make my blog look like a newspaper collage made by a three-year-old. Not that there's anything wrong with newspaper collages, per se. Or three-year-olds. Or both of them together even. It's just not really something that takes my fancy. But yeah, go ahead and make it a flipboard or whatever if it floats your boat.

See?

On your right hand side, there's this grey bar thingy, where you can access the followers, subscribe, profile, archives, etc. 

Pretty cool yeah? Yeah.

The rest, I think, is fairly self-explanatory. In case it's not, from newest to oldest posts, read from top to bottom, left to right. Any questions related to the new layout, the blog, me, or just life in general, please ask. I know you won't (I'd be happy if you did), but the offer's there. 

Time to bring back the old Daft Punk video. A little bit because of celebration, but mostly just because.

One More Time

So the Deloitte gig's all over for now, and I managed to secure (and, just a couple of hours ago, accept) a grad offer. Which, on top of elation, elicits from me a massive sense of relief. I've finally gotten something, after all the trials and tribulations and whatnot. I'm thankful that I worked with really great people, most of whom really tried to help me along.

The last few work-free days have been good. I'm kind of starting to miss it already. It's more missing the other vacationers than the work. I liked those guys. Or a number of them anyway. Hopefully will get to see them before we all start back at work next year. 

Also, after what seems like years, I've finally managed to find me a girl problem. As in, a quandary that is in the form of a girl. 

Well done me. 

I'll not talk about it here, but feel free to hit me up about it next time you seem me online/in person/on the phone if you feel like a bit of goss, a bit of romance, more than a dash of unrequited love, and impossible odds.

I should work in movie marketing. Or something. 

So yeah. Work's over, so normal service resumes. Hell, it's so normal, that, right on queue, the day that I finish work, a truckload of mulch and firewood gets dumped on our front lawn. Which, of course, means that I'll have to move it. Much like the time before I commenced work.

The greatest thing about finishing this whole thing is that I get to see my friends again. Having good chats all around. 

Like on Friday, having good old chats with the other vaccers. Learned a lot about everyone, had good times, etc. Should do it again more often. 

Or like Saturday, where my homies and I went to celebrate my birthday/offer with some weird dinner-ice-cream-Time Zone hybrid. 

Iced Dinnerzone. 

What a zippy name. As I said, marketing extraordinaire right here. 

So apart from doing things with friends, this week I am going to:

• Upload a massive lot of photos
• Blog (which is happening right here, right now)
• Continue the revamping of my room
• Plan for Gold Coast trip
• Finish moving the pile of stuff outside my house to the inside of my house (being my garden).

I think that'll do for now. 

I promise the next one will be a lot more orderly, and a lot less thought-spewy. 

Also, more about Noel Gallagher gig next. Get excited. 

I'll leave you with this clip that was promised by the post title.
