anonymoose_au5:27pm: Air Crash Investigation is back on Ch 7 tonight! At 7:30! Now apparently it's coming to National Geographic Channel next month but will it be the same series? Probably, but I do not wish to take that chance, so I shall tape it tonight. Luckily, Cold Case is on at a later time because of the Swimming, not sure about next week though...Dang.
Fortunately, I am able to do this even though The Chaser's War on Everything returns tonight because it'll be repeated on Friday and on ABC 2 this Sunday. I'll take a peek at it if I get the chance.
In other news, I had some disturbing dreams last night, at one point I was doing a U-turn in my car trying to get to work on time when out of nowhere this green van appeared and policemen jumped out and arrested me! Yikes...Prior to that I was trying to figure out what to do about my monetary situation, yesterday I went to the St. George Bank to ask about transferring some money into my Australian Credit Union account and the dude behind the counter said it would cost $33! The Hell? I hope that's just because it's an account at a different bank...even so, what a rip!
So anyway in my dream I was running around trying to find out if putting money in and taking money out of this account will set me back. I'm hoping if I just take the money in personally to the Credit Union or transfer it over the net I won't be slugged $33 because that's ridiculous! I may have to complain, I've been happy with St. George Bank thus far, but shame, shame, shame! (Oh my God I just channelled Darryn Hinch!)
I'm wondering about my laptop options as I discovered last night that I can't see the fish in the pond in Sims 2! Even though I've turned the graphic detail up to high and even used that booprop thing. Bummer...Now you can still fish of course, but it's not as fun. Of course, laptops are expensive, so I probably won't even if I'm making all this money at work, since half of it has to go to my parents for rent anyway. I wish it was easier to get a new graphic card for a laptop (I don't even know if you can, acutally), 'cause that's all I need really.
Today I said goodbye to my old supervisor at my causual job because he won't be in for the rest of the week. He wished me good luck and said I'm always welcome to come back. Awww, I feel loved!
Anyway, I'm here at the parentals for dinner, so I can do more of the Mega Survey, dedicated to![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
smudge_pot, who is me public :O)
Questions 2001-2050

2006. Let me tell you a little story.. there was a country that had a problem with rats: too many rats. So they imported lots of mongooses because the mongooses ate the rats. The mongooses started breeding like crazy, stealing food, attacking children, and generally becoming worse than the rats. A rat problem was traded for a mongoose problem. We did the same thing in the USA. We had a problem with criminals, so we brought in police. Do we now have a police problem?

2023. Is the highest-priced item the best quality item?
Hell nos!
