Flat warming!

Posted by Simon Welsh | 18 March 2011 | Comments (3)

For those few of you that don't know, I have left the apparent warmth of Kilbirnie to the frozen wastelands of Karori*. Due to the frozen nature of the suburb (or something like that), I apparently need to have a flat warming. So, let's do this.

My flat warming will be on April the 2th, that's the Saturday a fortnight from tomorrow, starting at say 1300. So I have enough time to wake up and clean up and stuff. If people are still around at dinner time, we can order pizza. Mmm, pizza. I might order some anyway.

The flat's at 38B Verviers Street, Karori.

I should also mention there'll be no alcohol and there may be wifi. If you would like the wifi password, it'll pay to let me know beforehand so I can send it to you (it's 32 random characters. You don't want to have to type it). I make no guarantee that you will be able to get on, or even see the network (my phone can't).

Since one of the purposes of a flat warming is free stuff, I suppose I should make some sort of list.

  • Another cactus so I have 5 again.
  • More snuggly elephpants. Or just more snuggles.
  • A freezer that'll fit in my kitchen.
  • Cooking/eating stuff that I can call my own.
  • Dragon(s).
  • A zombie defence system.
  • A Mac Mini Server I can stick in my closet.
  • Extension cable and protection.
  • That thing you may or may not know I want that may or may not be too inappropriate to put on this list.
  • A LEGO™ Turing Machine
  • Candy.
  • More candy.
  • Maybe some food that isn't candy.
  • Coke.
  • Lots of coke.
  • Seriously, I've only got like 4 cans left. You should get me some more.
  • Sparkly pens.
  • A friend for Rocky
  • More shorts. Having to wash clothes each fortnight is just ridiculous.
  • At least one of these, though the 24" model would do as well. I'd probably need a USB->MiniDisplayPort dongle thingy so I can plug more than one in at a time too.
  • An iPhone 4 (non-CDMA model) so I can tether without needing my Vodafone mobile stick over HSUPA.
  • Random stuff to maximise amusement
  • Other random stuff to maximise functionality
  • Stuff to pretty up the flat, cause I can't be here all the time.
  • Blutac.

Note: to those of you reading this on social networks, this still applies, so I won't see anything on any of the things I'm ignoring until Easter.

* May not actually be frozen or a wasteland.

    Me? :D

    Totally misread this "Sparkly pens."
    Was mildly horrified.

  • Ahh Karori.. or Mordor as I like to think of it. The only thing it's missing is a flickering orange glow in the clouds from a volcano.

    At least there is no giant spider on the way in.

    I do kind of like it though - lived there for a while myself

  • Ooh, I might be able to come along. Though probably later in the afternoon or evening, as I plan to use my weekends in Wellington for walking during the day.
