busy much?

Posted by maria on March 02, 2008

Pinch punch, second of the month. No returns. Ok, ok, so I am a day late. March kinda slapped me in the face yesterday and with that then end of the calm before the storm. It’s been nothing but zoom, zoom, zoom…..AAARGH in the life of Maria. I’ve always bitched about there not being enough time in the day to get things done. I never realised how busy life can get once you score a small promotion at work for simply knuckling down and not faffing about.

I’m now a Sales Coach at work. All the bouncing around like a lunatic, drawing up strategies to get results and being extremely vocal at my desk has paid off. I now have an excuse to bounce around and be annoying. If it gets results, it keeps the powers that be happy and if the powers that be are happy, I can ruddy well pay the bills and buy food.

Yay for capitalism!!!

It hasn’t all been work, work, work though. I recently discovered the aural and visual cocaine that is Audiosurf. It’s the trippiest puzzle game this side of Sudoku. You control a little spaceship that rides along a highway that is constructed and controlled by the type of music that’s playing. I highly recommend this game if you love games that are musical and pretty. You can purchase Audiosurf from Steam.

If I could describe last month in a youtube video, this would be it.

where’s the cheese?

The UK has Jamie Oliver. The US has Martha Stewart. Australia had Peter Russell-Clarke. Australian television really needs more celebrity chefs like him.
