Fingers crossed, but I'm not overly optimistic.

Still gotta apply for summer clerkships...

Shouldn't you be doing them now?! From memory, all the stuff closes like end of july. Apart from legal stuff, you should apply to the accounting firms (kpmg, ey etc..) as well. They pay alright and it's pretty chill work for a summer intern. Apply for auditing or something, good corporate exp that looks good when you're going for law firms and stuff later on!

US amazon, which was another mistake in hindsight. Should have gone for a JP unit instead.

Makes it easier to send her pics of your wang.

If you got a phone number you'd have to follow up your original SMS with like "so, did you get those pics of my wang?" because maybe her phone doesn't support MMS. Awkward.

I am doing them now, but I hate every minute of it, lol

Well, we just wrapped a production cycle and I don't have anything else to write for Hyper (except animuz), so I guess I'll have the week to do them.

Hobart, Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane :p

Clipper hasn't done Melbourne, I haven't done Sydney, you haven't done Hobart. Assuming we all make it tonight.

Edit: I was wrong apparently :D

Also, sal, I walked past pulp fiction. I thought, "oh, that's a wanky name for a shop. Ooo, food court."
You work there or something?

So'd you go for Jackpot Noodles, Red Fan or the fill-up-your-plate place?

Also, this information may be five or so years out-of-date (I'm getting old), but I seem to recall Pulp Fiction having a very cute girl working there. Best place in the CBD for sheer volume of eye candy though, is George street, especially the corner of Alice Street (uni entrance) or the balcony of Irish Murphy's (corner of Elizabeth street).

That's free advice and it works no matter if you're into male or female eye candy.

You act like he is overreacting. $47 is a lot if you're struggling to get by as it is.

im not saying he is over-reacting, its fine to want to be frugal :)

but 47 as a starting price when we usually get 60-70 isnt so bad

Jintor you should do some research but you can claim a number of things via tax as you are a games journalist for your taxable income right now.

You might want to talk to DW about it but back in the day my crew used to claim magazines as research, games as research and consoles over the depreciation life.

obviously not 100% of them, but you can claim a portion

Kritz is first to the meetup. Me and clipper are showing up early. Someone not from the Internet has sat down with me. Lady, if you are from the Internet, please introduce yourself.

Yeah, the process is absolutely horrible! lol

Ummm, quick tips though they might be obvious. Try to keep your resume one page if possible. If cover letters are required, tailor them and don't be lazy like me and make a general one. Also, luck plays a huge role in these summer intern things, unless you're an hd superstar, so don't get discouraged after a few rejections!

And stick around whirlpool if you progress further. Always lots of good info there.

Ohoh and make sure you use key words in your application answers. Things like, leadership skills, attention to detail, strong communication skills etc etc.

Heh. I actually remember that episode! I never got the joke at the time either. I guess I just accepted that there were 7 Rocky movies and that Adrian was a dude he fought.

I hadn't seen Rocky at the time.

Forget your BrisGAFs and what have you, I'm off to see Karnivool tonight. Yeah, wooo!

Actually, I'm not feeling 100% got a bit of a cough and the sniffles but lengthy dose of a great Aussie band should be good for me.

Also, The Living End are doing something unique for their next tour late this year. They're playing all their albums in full during a seven day period (first album gets two shows). Which is awesome because all I ever want to hear from The Living End these days is their first album and maybe their second. Seven shows in a row is crazy though.
