I've been checking out airbnb for a few nights accommodation in San Francisco in a couple of weeks. Great service but it seems like every middle-aged, single man in the bay area has a room to let to travellers. Maybe I'll make some new friends?

BTW, is there an antidote for roofies?

So...I had to make a tough decision within 24 hours........


.............
Did I make the right call?
Going by your previous posts no.
You will be judged more by your first 6 months of work than your previous x years of uni. Uni is a door into highly paid jobs. Not the only door mind you. Sometimes gaining a higher qualification can pigeon hole you when it comes to job options. If a good job comes along and it appeals to you then jump at it. A years quality work is better on the resume than an extra year at uni. Once you start the ladder climb no one outside of academia care about your academic results.

I'd recommend Rectinol ointment.

Surely if you're going to San Francisco you're up for anything anyway? ;)

I've used airbnb once for an apartment in Harlem, the site was recommended to me from a friend who has used it a lot in the states and swears by it. Didn't have any problems. I'll use it again next time I go to NYC.

I was studying Mechanical Engineering with an eye on being a draftsman.

Never finished studying as I got a job in a similar field and never looked back. Allowed me to purchase a few houses at a fairly young age and I've never looked back.

Can suck it!
Fashion advice required..

As you all know every man has to have a favourite drinking shirt, something that you can get weird and messy in and stands out enough that you'll probably get a BJ for just wearing it, mine is a bright red Hawaiian shirt and it's glorious. Unfortunately, it leaks like a **** whenever I get around to washing it. I need a backup. I've been thinking about buying an 'I shaved my balls for this?' t-shirt, like Pete in The League but I'm not sure that would be appreciated enough by the opposite sex to satisfy the gobbie criteria.

What should I do my fellow random thinkers?

Since you're a fan of The League, how about something from the Andre collection?

hmmm I don't really want to but I guess I should go fight someone. Coz it's not gay if you beat them up afterwards, right?
Its not gay if 1 of you is wearing a Port Guernsey, or one is at least tastefully removed and draped over a chair. Not that there would be anything wrong with that.

Very excited about tonights gig.

Ed Kuepper supporting Television.

You young people have a listen and learn a bit about music....

I first saw Ed Kuepper on New Year's Eve 1986 on the 3rd level of the long since closed Sydney Trade Union Club. $10 for 10 bands playing on all three floors. The Celibate Rifles headlined in their first show back in Australia after their first overseas tour, and the evening ended with Toys Went Berserk on the ground level at about 5am before we crashed our hire car into a rock wall on the Wakehurst Parkway driving back to our friends house.

Which part of this post refers to the name of the band that you saw?

It doesn't. James Baker was the original drummer of the Hoodoo Gurus who was booted out by the record company after their first album. He owned and ran a hot dog vendor and would often be seen outside gigs around inner city Sydney selling his hotdogs in the 1980's.
