My father and I went into the city today; he wanted to look in some hobby shops, and I wanted a trip into town for more general reasons :-) Actually, the real reason why my father *had* to go into town was to see the new William Street platforms at Perth station - the same reason why I went in a few weeks ago!
Anyway, while we were there, there were two girls holding up a handmade sign saying "Free Hugs". There were a handful of guys taking advantage of the offer. Since I was with my father, I was too proud to go up there and give them a hug, even after he suggested it. I suppose that’s part of the whole thing about not involving my parents with my interpersonal life.
But the slightly sad thing was that I seem to be craving female affection so much, that I *really* wanted to hug them. I mean, REALLY. So much so that I’ll probably go into the city next Sunday to see if they’re there, and if they are I’ll give them a hug.
That’s a bit of a sad act, but such is life. (Why does everyone say "Such Is Life" so much these days? It’s like how back in the days of the Spice Girls, people used to say "At the end of the day".)
My monitor is really playing up, but I didn’t have time to go to the place in Wangara to buy a new one. I guess I’ll go on Wednesday.
I’m quite tired today, because I spent most of last night troubleshooting FFMPEG, compiling a new version, and then writing the GUI frontend. That’s the power of Pythoncard though - I was tired, yet I still managed to write a graphical frontend and bring it up to 0.1 release in an hour or so. In fact, in the background, the program is encoding some more Two Ronnies. My eyes are a little bit sore from watching The Two Ronnies through a 1.8 inch screen on the train.
