December/January Round-up
Well, it’s been a while since I made a proper post. I’ve sat on this for all this time so I could get some good pics to go with it, especially of my car and PC, but here it is at last. 
It’s simply a good round-up of the happenings and events around here since I last posted.
My Civic Duties
First and foremost, I guess the most exciting news is that I bought a car. Yup, I finally got all my hard-earned pennies and cents together and dove into the world of automobile ownership.
Midway through November I had asked Gerry (my bro-in-law) to keep an eye out for me for a good deal on a decent car, since he works at a dealership and knows a great deal about cars. After a couple of decent but overpriced offerings from a couple of his sources, he came through and found a great ‘95 Honda Civic VTi for me at a reasonable price.
My new awesome Chair!!
So yesterday when I got home I found Pily had picked up my parcel from the post office (and didn’t think it necessary to tell me about it before I went to pick it up myself 
[thanks Pily 
]). It was my chair!!
I had bought it last Saturday on DealsDirect.com.au and had arrived at the post by Monday. :o How’s that for fast delivery?
I’d been hunting for a chair like this for months and whenever I went into local retail stores, all the chairs of this type started at the ridiculously ludicrous price of $600+, with one specimen waaaaaay less featured than this one going for $799 at Domayne!!!! I was like, WTF! 
So when I saw this one on DealsDirect going for $220, I just had to snap it up. Actually, I’d been waiting for them to restock this item for a couple of months, and had settled on this one until they got the other one on again. Coincidentally, I sold the other chair to my sister since their chair has totally and utterly had it.
So anyways, I got home and got the (huge!) box from the car and proceeded to try to put it together before I had to go out again for dinner.
A few minutes into the assembly, I remembered I should’ve got some unboxing pics but since it was too late for that, I got a couple of pics of the assembly and then the finished product. I’ve yet to get in-action shots.
