Guitar Hero 3...what a game...but more on that later...
I'm back in Bathurst now, after a heck of a trip...well, it was actually quite pleasant...got to Central at 0640 this morning, then jumped onto the train...bought a book to read, which is going alright so far, interesting story line ('The Beijing Conspiracy' by Adrian d'Hage)...and yea, just sat in my booked seat, and just chilled....the carriage though, was a full one...but there was a pair of seats across the aisle that were empty...so, they offered a hot breakfast (which I was glad to have taken - didn't know when my next proper meal was, which was dinner just then), and while in the buffet car, asked the chief purser if I was able to move across to the two seats...he said he'll find me when we've gone past Penrith, and if there's any spare seats, he'll move the passengers around...so, anyhow, Penrith came and went, and he came by, and asked me to grab my bags and find him in the buffet once I'd finish my breaky...so, did just that...and got moved to First Class...:D...man, is the legroom so much better or what! In the entire carriage, there was five of us...so I was sprawled across my seats and half the foot leg area...it was good....it was very good....and I managed to get sleep for about 40 mins, which was great...
So, got into Bathurst (on time at 1040! In fact we were early!) and took a cab to the house...and I rang the door bell...it's technically not my house anymore...I mean, I've got keys and all, but I still waited for Bill to open up...and yea, we caught up...and played Guitar Hero 3...:) Craig dropped by too, and we were catching up and all that...*sigh*...I miss this...but I dare say things will eventually become similar up on the Coast...
Then Bill and myself did something that I definitely miss...go to the movies on Sunday evenings and play video games...:D...and they got the "new" Time Crisis 3 just when I was leaving...so, off we went, and attacked it...first time ever that I've finished the game...and first time that Bill's played it (I think)...
Whoa...am just watching Without A Trace...and there's this absolutely great line..."Offense is the best defense, and it's normally the way of guilty men"...hmm...sounds familiar...maybe something that's currently going on now?
Anyway, back to TC3...we were shooting for 30 mins and change, and anyone who's played any Time Crisis knows of the step pedal (step down to "stand", release to "hide/crouch and reload")...mine was stuck, as were the sights on my weapon...which sucked a little...but we did a whole run through of the game, from start to finish...finished with something like 1.6 mil points...and came FIRST! Numero Uno...we logged the fastest time and highest score...hehe....good ol' "BMH & NIC" at the top of the list...and we both though 13 minutes and change of TC2 was a good time for us...
Apart from that, went for dinner at The Ox, they've changed the place completely...and saw a bloke win OVER9000 dollars on the pokies...never seen something like that before....six digits in the "WIN" column...the damned thing was going off for ages........lucky fella....
And yea, watching TV now, and about to call Grace...who's now back at home...without internet access...man, I miss her...and she misses me...or so she says...I managed to talk to her earlier...and she was commenting about our little night out in Maroochydore on Friday...and she was glad she did, because she trusts me more now, after seeing how I interacted with other people that knew me and was just being me...score another point for me being a good guy...
*Sigh* Well, just have to wait for further advise from university and find out what my options are with the real estate agents up on the Coast...
Going to call Gracie now...
Be safe.

- Saving someone's life is like falling in love. The best drug in the world. For days, sometimes weeks afterwards, you walk the streets, making infinite whatever you see. Once, for a few weeks, I couldn't feel the earth - everything I touched became lighter. Horns played in my shoes. Flowers fell from my pockets. You wonder if you've become immortal, as if you've saved your own life as well. God has passed through you. Why deny it, that for a moment there - why deny that for a moment there, God was you? I realised that my training was useful in less than ten percent of the calls, and saving lives was rarer than that. After a while, I grew to understand that my role was less about saving lives than about bearing witness. I was a grief mop. It was enough that I simply turned up.
