Yes it's true, last week, while I was sitting peacefully at my local Starbucks, blissfully sipping my grande double-frosted vanilla-creme decaf latte macchiato, I was approached by a man I had never met before. He seemed to be in a rush, I hadn't seen him approach.. But before I could ask who he was or where he came from, he thrust a piece of paper into my hand, and while I glanced down to look at what it was, one return-airfare plane ticket to the Bermuda Triangle, he vanished without a trace..
Two days later, I was walking along the beach on the outskirts of a village named 'C'osachota', the waves lapping at the shoreline, and exotic seabirds wheeling lazily in the sky above and singing their early morning calls to the open ocean, when out of nowhere, the Flying Dutchman rumbled into sight in the shallow water and plowed into the sand in front of me, stopping not two inches from crushing me under it's hefty bulk.
Suddenly, I realised that the story I was telling was going nowhere, so I quickly ended it and went back to my normal blogging..
I suppose sometimes it really is true, reality can very much be stranger (and more entertaining!) than fiction.
I just want to reassure my readers, (some of who may be skeptical ;) ) that the stories I tell in this blog are 100% true, 84.3% of the time. (The other 15.7% is reserved for embellishments, exaggerations, omlettes and misc..)
Seriously, I wouldn't fabricate half the stories on here! I wouldn't have the heart.. Also, I've had enough real content flung at me this year to fill Wrigley Field, so it's not particularly hard to come up with new things to write about really..
Anyway, I just thought I'd clear that up, don't want any skeletons in the closet.. Or moths, but more skeletons, because I don't think I'd scream if I found a moth in my closet..
So, for real.
Saturday night I went to a Pirate Party, where Hey Ocean! was performing, it was great fun, live bands are teh l33t, the audience was so jacked, dancing, cheering, just good fun. Though I didn't go in my pirate outfit.. I should have found a feather or something to wear, but I didn't.. Have to wait until Halloween I suppose (which, by the way, is coming soon!! Oct 31st people! Oct 31st!). I've already planned that outfit.. Oh yes..
Cheers all!
Jimzip :D
(P.S.. I got through a whole entry without mentioning the vodcast!! Wait- oh.. damn!)

9 thoughts are now mine:
You would SO scream if a moth was in your closet. You just wouldn't run from a daddy-long-legs... nope. That's aaaaaall my territory.
And you should have just worn an enlarged album cover for the pirate party... cos... y'know... like two people would get it and the rest would beat you UNMERCIFUL!
And with that, SEVY AWAY!!!
...i dont get it
Ha ha ha! Yay! Nice blog. I knew I was onto something. ;) By the way, I've been doing my bit to plug the lemonlime vodcast. Can you believe that Andy hadn't even heard of it!!! These people without the Internet scare me. Anyway, Tim and I quickly updated him and played him a couple of episodes on the big screen. Just like when we all used to watch Veronica Mars (only without the murder and bloodshed - on the show that is...not the watchings of the show...oh you get my drift...I hope). Ok, I'm rambling. Bye for now.
Bonjour there, my Canadian counterpart. Just realised i hadn't logged onto this 'ere blog for like... EVERRRR!!! oh my GOD! *flicks hair back... revealing like, TOTALLY shocked face*
Seems that these blog thingies are the new black, and i never get any reply from the passe email system anymore, so i figured this might get a response. :)
ANYWHO... sounds like a typical overseas life to me... stolen this, torn/deflating that... gees, how about some excitement... *sigh*. Was a bit shocked to hear about the whole.. u know, decreased lung capacity and all, but glad to hear it wasn't as bad as it could have been. I've been told lungs are very 'now' and required to live, or something. blah blah doctor talk.
Anyway matey... glad to hear most things are going really well, and look forward to sitting down with a nice hot cup of cocoa (or a cheap bottle of vodka... i'll get back to you on that one) and sifting through the missed entries. But for now, the hum drum of uni calls... BAH!
Speak soon

p.s. i realise this is less a "comment" and more a "thesis", but meh... what can ya do?!
Ed: No I wouldn't!!!
Ok, maybe I would, but it would be a small scream.. More a squeek I think..
I stick to my story!
And I almost decided to wear Bob Seger's 1972 album Smokin' O.P.'s, fashionably decorated with streamers made from pressed dried egg, japanese style.. But I decided against it in the end because of moral reasons..
I do enjoy our little chats!
Lissy: Read the comments in the last blog entry.. Muhahaha.. Nah there's an explanation to the madness there..
Luke: Indeed!!
What did Andy say??! No doubt something about increasing the production values, and that Bryan Singer would be better suited to directing it? (I kid I kid!)
But seriously, that's cool.
Actually after work today I went to have dinner at a restaurant, and Veronica Mars was on the TV there. I just had to go to the video library on the next block and rent season 1 to watch again.. I almost (but not quite) forgot how good it is..
But thanks anyway, and I'll be glad to get home so we can once again, have our famous movie nights!
Mike: Ah ha! So he lives!
Yeah I got an e-mail from Timothy today explaining that he's almost finished the work on your garden, I'm sure it's looking faaabulous! (Also flicks hair back [conveniently lit by a stream of sunlight] and laughs merrily)
I still expect pictures!! Yes I do!! But at this rate I'll be home again before you take them!! Grr..
Also, I hope you're sending your e-mails to my blue cube address.. or my james at jimzip one, because I haven't (sniff) heard from you in a while!!
Anyway I'll be sure to trawl though my past correspondance and make sure I've replied to them all. Alas, e-mail is a little mossy, no longer as chic as blogging I agree, but I still enjoy it..
Cheers!
Jimzip :D
Hey,
Yeah Andy was very impressed. At one point during the first episode he almost wet himself at something Michelle said. Then went, 'Ahhhhhh, I like her.' Oh and he did a little, 'Awww, I miss James'.
Tim then pointed out that you can tell what episode you are watching by how big your biceps are. Like Pamela Anderson's breasts, they get bigger every ep!
Oh! And now I need to show the latest ep to people at work because they were mocking my excitement at Snakes on a Plane...so I can finally show them a good review!
Haha, well remind them that I got caught in the moment!! I prolly should have given it one lemon, but I just had so much fun, plus Michelle was waiting for something outrageous!!
Cheers Luke!

Yes, iv started up "Armwatch". Its a club that started after serious demand. Like pammy's and lara crofts...assets, Dannii "the other minogue"'s facial features and john wood's lack of logies, your arms have become a feature "watch this space" item. I sent you a check in the mail, mounties should deliver it anyday now, i swear.
Actually, we're all just jealous, the group here has just started so sort of emergency get-fir regime. Badminton nearly wiped me out last night eesh. Got to be a real man to play that stuff!
hey jimzip, thanks so much for visiting and commenting my blog. I checked out yours, funny stories! ;) Keep it up.
