Well, I nearly forgot to upload today's comic. Quick save at 5:30pm... oops. Not that A&M has an audience yet, or at all, or ever, but nonetheless I should probably try and stay on top of it.

Tom's birthday this weekend. His 18th. I love internet shopping. His birthday present takes it to a total of 7 purchases I have made online (actual deliver-in-the-post-items, not services). It's so easy. I just choose what I want, and then it comes to me in the mail like magic. It's the lazy man's way of shopping. No hassles. Just order, wait, hey look I got cool stuff. Sure, it takes a little while, but that just builds up the excitement for when you get it. That little bit of fear - "Will I ever get it?" "Is it going to be what I ordered?" just adds an edge to the waiting. I'm going to itemize what I've bought:

  1. Everquest (All the way from USA, before it was available in AU)
  2. My MP3 Player (although technically the order was by phone, I only paid online)
  3. Neon Genesis Evangelion Perfect Collection
  4. Brazilian Ju Jitsu Guide Book
  5. Triple J Backpack
  6. Fans for my case mod
  7. Tom's birthday present (for obvious reasons, I can't actually say what it is)
Not a bad effort eh? The advent of Visa Blue was a marvellous day for e-commerce. A credit card without the debt! Mostly because it's a debit card, but I can sign for things and therefore make mail/internet purchases by pretending it's a credit card. It's not. It's just like a normal ATM card, really, but it's cooler.

The movie Hackers was on last night. That movie is hilarious, and has now moved up to one of my favourites. Not because it's a good movie, oh no. Because it is TERRIBLE. Goto Hackers Transcript and do a find for words like 'hack' or 'virus' or 'insane' or 'righteous' etc. It's hilariously terrible.

I'm going to have to get a copy of it.

Welcome to my first rant. As the most mature (oldest) ranter on this site i feel it is my responsibility to bring the hard hitting issues to the fans of Algie & Mon. So strap yourself in and prepare to enter the world of my mind....

So anyway, what's the deal with arseholes? I was sitting in Uni today minding my own business on a PC wasting credits on non educational sites when all of a sudden Arsehole sits next to me. Not an Arsehole, THE arsehole. This is the sort of person who can enter and make an entire room instantly uncomfortable. The room was silent. Most people have the common courtesy to respect the state of the when they enter, but not this Choad. Let's call him Barry for now. So Barry sits down and begins talking loudly to someone, we'll assume that they know him but like you and me they wish they didn't. Barry begins screaming about something, god knows what it was, and banging on the desk. I am feeling quite angry right now as I am posting on some forums and my wit is being sucked out by this moron. He suddenly turns to me and starts asking me questions "What's that?" was the first one, I replied "A computer." I hate conforming to dickheads so I decide to be a smartarse. Barry becomes annoyed with me and shouts for a bit and leaves.

My point is: Wtf? Was he serious? Could this sort of person actually blend into a society seamlessly? I hope like most Uni students he was High at the time because in that case he was marginally acceptable.

If you are out there Barry, lay off the bong man!

'til next time.
