I got up about 10.30am, and mucked around on the computer.

I wrote a php script to parse the info page from tivoweb on my tivo, to make it accessible on my homepage.

I got a call from my mate, the drummer, asking what I was doing, I said nothing much, and organised for him to pick me up.

I had a shower, got ready, and then listened to some Led Zep while I waited for my mate to turn up.

When he did, I grabbed my guitar, and went to jump in the car. I noticed the damage on the back, from his prang the other day, and had a bit of a look at that. I don't know how they're going to fix it, since the damaged bit is basically the whole car, it looks like it's pressed out of a single bit of metal.

We jumped in the car, and drove around to our mate's place, but he wasn't there, his dad was, and let us in though, he told us that our mate was out somewhere, buying something for the fancy dress tonight.

We sat around, I played the guitar for a bit, while we waited, and then our mate turned up.

We were all invited to a fancy dress party tonight, an "F" themed fancy dress, as a Fiftieth birthday for a woman that my mates work with at Target.

My mate was going as "Freaky Jason", or "Friday the 13th" or something, (I'm not big on horror movies, they're just cheesy). He had a pair of overalls, and he splashed red paint all over the front of them, to look like blood.

He'd bought a halloween hockey mask thing, so he scratched that up a bit. There was an old sicle (sp?) (thing you use for cutting long grass), so he splashed a bit of red paint on that, to take as his weapon.

While he was doing that, I spotted some school photos in the garage, and had a look at them, heh the photo of all the staff was there too, the one I pinched out of the staff room.

We went inside after that, and played for a while, then we went to get some lunch, out to Erina Fair.

My mate who works for the ABC called, and we said we'd see him out there. My mates and I went around the shops, looking for fancy dress stuff, I still hadn't decided what to go as, I'll probably go as a frog though.

I didn't have much luck with that, and then we went to wait for our other mate to turn up. He eventually did, and then we went down to the noodle place, and had noodles for lunch. It was pretty good, they use a PDA of some decription to take your order, it gets radioed to the kitchen, and they start making your meal immediately, and it's served as soon as it's done.

I ended up having to wait until last as usual though, but the food was really good.

We had a chat, and then got the bill, $98 between the 4 of us, but I did have a couple of beers. We paid, left, and continued wandering.

I thought about finding something for fancy dress over at Toys R Us, so our other mate took off again, and the 3 of us went over there.

I didn't really find anything useful, ended up just getting a little rubber frog, and then it didn't have a barcode on it, so I had to wait for a price check, for them to find that it was $3, which I paid and then we left.

We got in the car, and started heading for home, there's a party shop on the way, it might be a place to look, so we parked, walked over there, only to find it had closed a couple of hours earlier.

We went to the bottle shop near where we'd parked, and I bought a 4 pack of JD and lemonade, and a bottle of Riccadonna.

We went back to our mate's place, and then our mate (the drummer) left, to go home, and get ready for the fancy dress.

My mate and I sat and played our guitars for a while, and then my mate gave me a lift home, I ran in, grabbed my green leisure suit, and a green Tshirt, and got back in the car, and we drove back to his place again.

We sat and watched some of Yellow Submarine, there's something seriously wrong with that movie, our mate turned up again, and then we all got changed.

I ironed my shirt, and found that it had a big stain on the front, oh well, too late now.

After we were all changed, my mate (lead guitar) done up as Freaky Jason or whoever he was supposed to be, our other mate done up as Frankenstein, and me as a frog, I loaded up the esky.

We were about to leave, when my mate decided he wanted to burn a CD to take. I still had my ipod, so I decided to take that, with a cable to connect it to an amp, in case we get a chance to use that.

We went in, worked out what songs we wanted on our CD, and then burnt it. I put my ipod in plastic bag, tied it up, and shoved it in the esky with all the drinks.

We left, headed for the party, our mate's dad was giving us a lift out there. We wanted to get some ice, so we stopped off at the servo, but none of the others would go in. I would have been sure to go in, if I'd been wearing a pair of overalls, with what looks like blood all over them.

Anyway, I went in, got some cash out of the ATM, bought some ice, and 2 bottles of coke, I went out, chucked the stuff in the car, and then we kept going, to the party.

We grabbed the stuff out of the car, our mate's dad took off again, and we went into the party, we sat around, chatting and drinking for a while, and then the food was served, and we ate.

There were some fairly interesting looking people at the party, here's a few of the F themed things I can remember:

A Fembot
Foxy Cleopatra (who looked more like Kath Day-Night, and could have been a "foxymoron")
The Flintstones
A couple who were "Fifty years married"
Flight Attendants
Fashion Police
First Fleet Captain

Anyway, after we'd all eaten, a woman stood up, and announced that she was a marriage celebrant, and was there because the woman whose birthday it was had decided to get married, on her birthday.

We sat around as they did the ceremony, I'm not sure what she was done up as, maybe a "Fairy Princess" or something, and her fiance/husband was the "First Fleet Captain".

After that was all done, they put the music up a bit, and quite a few of us got up to have a dance. We sat down for a while, and then we put our CD on, and more people got up to dance.

We stayed there, dancing and drinking, until about 12.30am, when my mate's dad turned up to give us a lift back. I'd chucked my bag in the car, with my "normal" clothes in it, so I got dropped straight at home, grabbing the bag out of the boot, and got home a bit after 1am.

I wrote some blog, and went to post it, but blogger was screwed again, with internal server errors, so I gave up, and went to bed.
