Cynicism has left me empty

I've tried quite hard to raise a blog post... but every time I come here I just leave disenchanted, text-box empty.

But since I have managed to put some text to screen, I may as well be self-indulgent and mention that I have passed my exams. Equal top! In as much as a non-graded pass leaves everyone with the same grade!

*Car does massive burn out in the distance* That reminds me of something delicious. I was doing some Christmas shopping with Rohan on Friday night. As we were crossing Rundle street, your sterotypical hoon decided it would be a great time to put the pedal to the metal and gun it, with a huge screech of rubber and engine noise. He sped past us pretty quickly, in his commodore (of course). I caught a glimpse of the large, bald tattooed man and his equally bogan companion as they sped past quite quickly. People, dining on the street (not literally) all stopped and glared angrily. And then, justice! Sitting in the side street between two cafes was a stealthily hidden patrol car with a radar. He was off, lights flashing and pulling the car over straight away. My heart rejoiced! I enjoy seeing idiocy punished. Especially when it drives a commodore.

We then went shopping and had a grand old time. There was a cool band playing in the mall, called 'Jimmy and the Mirrors.' They were the best entertainment I've ever seen in the mall. I especially liked the guy playing the little piano you blow in to. So I purchased the CD. I was saddened to find that the CD version has that chap playing an actual piano though. But the mall music was good, and set the tone for some some equally amusing jewelery shopping experiences. I do enjoy bargaining people down for fun, but I can only do it when it's not money being spent. Weird.

Oh well, here's that band. It's not my favourite song, but it has a video.



The best part is that it wasn't Christmas carols.

  1. Re the title - cynicism about what? You sound more apathetic than cynical...

    Congrats on passing, by the way.

  2. I didn't think anyone ever read my blog titles. Cool. Well observed though. The title and content do not match. The title is what I wanted to write about, the post is actually what happened.

    I am the enigma of the internet.

    Also, Congrats on graduating Dr. PTR. Now that you have power over other medical students, will you let it go to your head? :P

  3. Ha - that's why I always write the blog titles AFTER writing the post. There's almost always a massive topic shift along the way.

    And yeah, you better watch man cos I'll be an intern soon and boy howdy I mean business.
