Some things before the story: there has been some kind of contest on the radio here for a few weeks, some kind of scavenger hunt where you had to find really old obsucure things that only some people may have. So yeah, my mum entered in it getting everything (including some 2.5litre bottle of NT draught - some kind of beer that was made up here - and an old vinyl record).

So at about 6:30 this morning mum comes in and wakes me up saying: "Wake up, the people from the radio called and they want me in there now. Do you want to come?"
me: "Ugnnhhh"
her: "I'll take that as a no"
Seeing as I had to take a devilish crap I thought I was going to get up and wait to see why she went to the radio station. 7:45 rocks up and I still hadn't heard anything about it until I heard mum yay'ing in the background of the DJ's on the radio (I was busy feeding my face with some breakfast). Long story short, they counted up all of the little things she had (she had them all, gg mum) and announced that she was indeed the winner of the little scavenger hunt and that she won the main prize. Yay her! Mum came home at about 9 some time and I find out she won $8500 worth of prizes "thanks to the Telstra shop" which consisted of: a 143cm LG widescreen TV (fucked if I know if it is a plasma but yay if it is), a LG washing machine, and a LG frost free fridge/freezer. Needless to say some :coal: stuff. We are getting them delivered tomorrow sometime so I'll have photos of the whole event occuring so the internet will know about it (don't steal my stuff.)

Inbetween waiting for mum to appear on the radio I was watching a documentary about M. Night Shyamalan (I think that is how you spell it.. - he directed and wrote: The Village, Six Sense, Unbreakable and some other ones) and by god it was kind of creepy. It wasn't a kind of scary creepy (like Texas Chainsaw Massacre or Bambi..) but it was more, "Holy snapping duck shit, this seems reasonably believable". If people out there like me and like documentaries, I'd suggest you watch it. It was made this year and it might have been called, "Buried Secrets of M. Night Shyamalan" (I dunno, IMDb it).

Oh and what else! Went into Harvey Norman's just after lunch time to see if we can find something similar to the TV we would be getting (oh, and for me to spend monies!) And huzzah for that, I lay-by'd my new amp. So now all I have to do is to sell my old one for some kind of price so I don't have to use as much as my own money to pay my new amp off. (If you want to know what my new amp is visit the thread about it and click on the Sony amp one). By the way, if anyone is interested in buying my old amp (not the best one), email me here or here and I'll think about it. Images: front of amp, back of amp.
