Big bada-boom..

Last night I had the pleasure of witnessing a car window being smashed in.

Taking a moment to lean out the window and enjoy the view of the mountains at 1:00am or so, (coincidental timing being my specialty..) I happened to look down into the alley below me, and saw a man peering through a 4WD window. I watched as he balled his fist, and drove it through the passenger-side glass with a loud crackle as the window gave way..
It took me a second to get my act together, and after yelling a loud 'Oi!' into the night, echoing down the thin laneway, he retreated from the car, and ran off down the street glancing around nervously.
The funny thing was that after I yelled out, he withdrew from the car and sent back a loud, defensive: 'What?!", while he was trying to find where the sound had come from. You serious buddy?

I reckon my efforts were in vain though, I suppose with no window, the car would still have been robbed by morning.

Anyway, last week saw Invoke move to a new office. Friday night came along, and saw most of the employees helping out with the big shift to the other end of town.
The new office is awesome. Location.. kinda awesome, but once you get past the crackheads and bums it's a lovely part of town..
The removalists were useless also. They stood by the truck as us guys from the office moved everything from the fourth floor to the ground, (thankfully with the help of the elevators..). But luckily, once they were done 'helping' they disappeared quite quickly into whatever abyss they'd materialised from, and we were left in the new office playing games on the Wii with the projector, drinking and chowing down on pizza.

All in all, a good weekend. Last night I went mini-bowling downtown with some mates, Jeff and his GF Sherri, and tonight (Joy!) I get to finally watch the season finale of Battlestar with a friend almost as obsessed with it as I am! ("Possible how!?" I hear you say with a hand to your hip, and retort with "Easily!" in an equally loquacious fashion..)

So! That's about it, work is great, home is cool, and friends are nifty-ifty.
I'm hoping I hear back from a certain Australian guy soon RE: Hawaii, because.. damn.. I can't wait to do that, but until next time dear readers, be safe! (and lock your cars somewhere safe too, I suppose..)
