Somewhat productive in Stuff

Sorry about the gross-ness of the previous entry. I probably should’ve made a disclaimer :)

Man, the fb messenger app is annoying sometimes. I’m trying to type here and someone’s mug keeps popping up on my screen.

Anyway today was relatively productive I suppose. I paid off my suit (yay) and also my Mardi Gras afterparty ticket. I still ask myself why I’m going because I feel I’m a bit over it/ too old for it, but then I think back to previous years and its mainly been guys around my age there. Probably because the tickets are so expensive and the youngins won’t pay it. I dunno.
Ive bought a concession ticket because the ticketing website said it applies to health card holders, which I have valid until September, so I figured I might as well make use of it. I’ll be damn annoyed if I get to the front gate and they don’t let me in because of it. I’ll bring my health care card and show them, so they should let me in and I’ll protest if they don’t, but I’m just thinking back to last year when I had ticketing issues at a different event, so it’s on my mind. It hasnt arrived in the mail yet, so who knows what the hell they are doing?

I transferred some money to my Qantascash account tonight. It’ll take a day or so to reach it, but I figured I’ll use it toward my accommodation, which is the one thing Ive yet to book. I just can’t decide. I compared so many different ones today and I’d decide I’d like one, but then I’d read one disgruntled review and be put off.
Then I had the idea to look on the Qantas site’s hotels, because why not get some sort of benefit for staying somewhere for a couple of hundred bucks?
I figure they probably jack up the prices and I wonder if the points are worth it after all. So if I book on that site AND pay with my Qantascash, then it may be slightly more worth it?
I dunno. I don’t make use of it enough. Because my bank gives me back 5% on everyday purchases, using a different card for point benefits just hasn’t seemed worth it to me. But since this will probably be a bigger expense in excess of $100, I figured I’d set myself up for when I’m ready to pay for it.
I haven’t transferred enough though, that’s the thing. I may need to wait until next week to transfer a required amount, by which time the hotels may be unavailable. Hmmm.

I really need a tan. I hate how I look at the moment. I have one more day off tomorrow and would have to go down to the pool for a bit of Vitamin D, but it started raining on the way to the gym and I have a feeling this may be the beginning of the expected downpour that’s expected for South East Queensland this week.
A stupid tropical low has made it’s way down south far enough, so now we are expecting between 300-400mm of rain within 48 hours, and may even be on cyclone-watch.
I don’t think there’ll be much sun if that happens!
