The other things I do

Most of these things include slowly killing myself from overwork, stress, caffeine, and less than legal caffeine like substances...

I'm a busy guy, but it's not all so one-dimensional as to be an regular IT nerd...
I'm also a big Sci-Fi nerd!

I went to a convention that was on in Melbourne this weekend (and I'm sad enough to do it in Brisbane next weekend).
I dunno if you guys have been to a convention before, but if you have, you know what they're like. If you're into it, it's a LOT of fun, but also really draining.

But that wasn't enough for me... oh no! I had to go check out this new darkwave/alternative club that opened up.
I think to myself "Yes, what! Pip pip! I shall drop in for a Tom Collins, talk with some lively chaps, and then off to bed at a reasonable hour, so that I can do calisthenics in the morning" because in my own mind I sound like someone from the English Industrial Era gentry classes...

... I was there till 5am, dancing...
... my calves are purple from the bruising...
... I went back to the convention the next day and got in line... at 9am...
... Then I went out drinking with some of the guys that were doing a wrestling show in one corner of the con... till about 3am...
... Then I got to work at 9am today, hung over, and am pretending to do work by writing this blog post ...

I can't believe I get to do this for a living!
