A whole tray of steak for $9? Get in!

Things that ive been up to this week - Mainly being knackered! I managed to win a ticket to the Melbourne Film Festival though, and im going to go and see 'Sex&Drugs&Rock&Roll', which is the biograpy about Ian Dury (Drury??), of the Ian Dury and the Blockheads fame. Theres a group of people heading down from the hostel, and it sounds pretty good!

At any rate, I like that 'Hit me with a rhythm stick' song, and their bound to play it at least once! :P So that should be good. Today ive just been wondering around Victoria market, getting myself some bargains. A tray of steak for nine bucks, a pinapple for 1.80. That sort of thing. Ive now eaten so much bloody pineapple, my mouth has gone all tingley...

mmm. Tingely mouth.

Yesterday I went out for a few drinks with my friend Lara. We went and had a glass of mulled wine in this place called the gypsie bar, which was just starting some reggie night, then we had pizza at this restauraunt, then went on to this bar, which was pretty cool. There was a bottle shop (off license) right next door, and you could buy drinks in there, then drink them next door in the actual bar / pub. We chose a nice Pinot Noir, i think it was (get me being the wine buff! Its because beers so sodding expensive over here, its all i drink now!), paid $7 each for it, and had a really nice bottle of wine that lasted for the rest of the evening. The rock / metal band playing was a bit shite, but the company was good, so thats all that matters!

Apart from that. Well. Last weekend, Id gone out for a few quiet beers down the local pub before work, and then headed out to this really cool bar in town for literally a drink because it sounded really cool, and i was with a good group of people. It had a really cool pool table, with a zebra skin print on the cloth, instead of the green felt normally used. It was impossible to get an angle. Even for a Pool Champion such as me!. So I went there, Had a pint. Had a game of pool. Got the tram home for work the next day. It broke down didnt it. So i ended up having to walk back AGAIN!

So i got in at 130am again. Then I was up at 630am for work. At work, Everyone gave me coffee (strong, 2 sugars). So i was already bouncing off the walls. Then I got back, and headed over to the nightcat, which is this soul club that has a live band playing until about 2-3ish. So went there, had a few drinks, was understandably pretty tired, so i just sank two or three monster energy drinks (well, they call them mother over here).

At which point that was it. Got back to the hostel, was up all night talking, playing the guitar, chatting etc, and just didnt sleep until about midnight the day after. Not the most healthy weekend, but it was a bloody good one.

Oh, and in other important news, IVE FOUND A REAL PUB, THAT SERVES REAL BEER, PROPERLY!! Warm Stouts, Ales, etc. Its got an open fire place, comfy seats, and not only that, Monday they have a comedy night, and Wed, Sat, and Sun they have live music, so ill have to check it out.
