Last night, went to a few of the nightspots in in Canberra! Wanted to use the term "club-hopping", but you'll see why I didn't...

We went to In Blue, which was a small little place that was pretty cool. From the street, you could see the disco lights and the general blue-ness of the place, through windows that went the entire length of the place - pretty cool. They played a weird mix of music. Everything from current dance-type hits (In Da Club etc), to older stuff (J-Lo's Play, followed immediately with Jenny From The Block) to 100% Pure Love and Don't Call Me Baby and even that Four Non Blondes song. Don't know the name of the track but I know all the words... which is sadder? ;) That was actually really fun jumping around to that song - it was these real bumping version of it and everyone was getting into it :) :) :)

Incidentally, my Chinese is actually much better when drunk. I think Jess can probably confirm this....

Then went to a seedy place called Southpac (South Pacific Rugby Club), where residents at Fenner get in for free after becoming a Member. I'm told that Southpac somehow sponsor Fenner in sports or something, so it means they can't make a profit from us. That means every Mondays it's free alcohol and every Thursday you pay $5 and get two jugs of ANYTHING you want... I'm told that. Not sure if it's true or not. Sufice it to say, every Tuesday and Friday mornings, Fenner residents who have 9am starts at ANU wish they didn't go to Southpac the night before....

White Sambuca and Tequila shots! I think that was the first time I had tried White Sambuca! Why not earlier, eh?
Afterwards, the girl I bought the shot for told me that "ËýµÄ¶Ç×Ó²»Ì«Êæ·þ¡° - literally "her stomach was not too comfortable" HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH. She wasn't Chinese but studies Mandarin, so we were speaking Mandarin the whole night....

In other news, discovered that Season 2 of Futurama and Season One of Deep Space Nine HAVE been released. This brings a smile to my already smiling face.

Oh, and thankyou to Zimon for this great article about Klingonese. To paraphrase Andrew (great name!) from Buffy, "Klingonese had much clearer transitive and intransitive rules"

I figure if you're wasting time reading this, you can mosey onto to this site and have a laugh while you're at it:
