LAB073 Down the drain & Berlin Wall

littleaussiebattler@gmail.com (Scotty) — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 02:43:56 +0000

. I tried to do a quick show, but ended up taking me a bloody HOUR to do. Stupid iPhone crapped itself and stopped recording. This quick podcast has taken 1.5 hours
. Here is a toilet update, and new flatmate update.
. Oh, and in world affairs tonight, I talk about the 20th anniversary of the pulling down of the Berlin Wall. And get side-tracked on some Aussie politics; AKA Bob Hawke.

On a happier note, I give a recommendation on visiting Berlin – next time you are in Europe.
(Just watch the Brits and the Germans fight it out over whose towels go on the deck chairs each day!)

(my Evidence exam is looming, and I am wasting time on a podcast. Shoot me now plz)

Salt Mine bake off 2009

littleaussiebattler@gmail.com (Scotty) — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 12:54:03 +0000

Today, while I should have been studying Evidence for my exam this coming week, I decided to do a big bake off of dinners for work.
As I work the night shift at the Department of Salt there is nowhere to buy any food. After all, it’s an office building in the suburbs. On top of this minor technicality is the other small issue… that we only get a 15 minute smoko break! That’s not much time to chow down our tucker and get back to data-entrying.
So, to stop me going to Red Rooster or Hungry Jacks at 4pm for ‘dinner’, I do a big bake-off every 2 weeks, and freeze my dinners to take to work. Here is today’s session. Enjoy!

A quick taste test… Ah yes, al dente!

All done and packed away in the freezer.

I am really struggling today to do any study here at home. And now my mind is on Mario Lopez ~ the hottest guy on earth!

Look at that smile! Can you believe those cute dimples, AND all those nice muscles to match?!

Ok, now this is NOT the face I’d be pulling if Mario was behind me!! (brown chicken brown cow)

This post might be getting a bit long now. and i really SHOULD be studying!! So here is one last pic of Mario…

LAB071 Coin laundry

littleaussiebattler@gmail.com (Scotty) — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 13:14:06 +0000

. i recorded this show driving too and from the Dept of Salt today.
I have no clue now what it is about. I think I have caught Archerr’s CRS!
I am pretty sure I talk about the dunny unblocking issues again, and… oh yeah, US democracy and the decision in Maine.

I briefly stop in at a coin laundry too. LOL. enjoy.
and please, call or email in your horror stories of things you should NEVER have seen! :-O Thanks.

Listen here, if that’s what suits you

LAB070 Map of Tasmania

littleaussiebattler@gmail.com (Scotty) — Wed, 04 Nov 2009 13:55:05 +0000

. I had a rather unproductive day at Uni today, hanging out with all the cool, young, brainiac kids in the library; studying for Evidence exam.
. Even though I don’t look, or act, my (old) age, I really don’t fit into the Gen-Y crowd either.

Do NOT eat before or during this podcast*
. I have seen the Philippino’s “map of Tasmania”! :-O

please feel free to ring with your own horrifying stories of eternal scaring, 206 666 5917

LAB069 Purina Prisoner Puppy Poo

littleaussiebattler@gmail.com (Scotty) — Tue, 03 Nov 2009 03:26:19 +0000

The answer to checkerboard time is Purina it seems, part of the evil Nestle conglomerate. I wonder if they are still killing African babies?
I take a walk down memory lane as I fondly remember ‘Prisoner: Cell Block H’ Aussie TV series from the 80s.
Certain blogs have also reminded me of the joys and wonders of having dogs and a litter of puppies while growing up. They really were great years.
1 to 3 of my flatmates are going to be up to their neck in POO tonight. The latest blockage resulted in the plumber coming out today. I hate to think what that is going to cost.

please consider a quick phone call, before my listener line is deleted. 206 M ONLY 17

Why not listen now, this second?

LAB068 LaRoux LurryDean

littleaussiebattler@gmail.com (Scotty) — Mon, 02 Nov 2009 13:14:36 +0000

The most topics EVER in a podcast today. As I drive in Mong-mongi from my volunteer job to the Dept of Salt, I wax lyrical about Britney, LurryDean, Jetts gym, crazy psycho Christian parents, studying with Gen-Y kids at Uni, and seeing -
T H I S . I S . I T ! – Michael Jackson film

I dunno how I cover so many more topics when driving, than when sitting at home. Enjoy.

Listen to the show this very second here!

Brisbane skyline ^

littleaussiebattler@gmail.com (Scotty) — Fri, 30 Oct 2009 03:13:00 +0000

Do you like the new theme that SteveintheUK(ok) did for me?
It is a picture of the high-rise buildings in the CBD, as seen from Bowen Terrace, Fortitude Valley lookout I think. Or maybe it’s New Farm? The Valley/New Farm is the GAY part of town.
(the Brisbane River winds quite a bit through the city).

I will post a picture in this post too I think, to give you an idea of ‘the city’ CBD. (Or, ‘down town’ as Americans would say).

If you look really closely in the theme picture at top of page, you might just be able to see one the listeners of the Little Aussie Battler podcast too!
