hmmm makes you think eh

so we went totally egghead n watched a Star Trek next gen DVD today.
had Joe Piscopo in it. Now I have just looked at his website n noted he seems a well known person in North America. Fair enough. Outside two one line references to him in the Simpsons I dont think ive ever heard of him.

So we watched the DVD. Then we watched the simpsons. Guess which episode was on?
Yep. This was two shows one after the other. I have NEVER seen the bloke b4 to my knowledge.

On top of that I mentioned to the gurl this morning how i used to see ***** all the time driving round Bathurst **** comes from a small town we used to live in.

So about 10 minutes later we drive into town n who do we see? Now I havent seen **** driving abiout for at least 6 months.

Dunno where Wind River, Wyoming is (ok smart arses it is in Wyoming USA). But I imagine it is a one horse town in the middle of no-where - which happened to be mentioned in the last TWO books I read. One a scifi novel set in the 4000th century. The other a sort of horror/serial killer drama set in new Jersey in the here and now.
Just googled Wind River
Applied for the information packet
looks like a lovely place eh. Pity about what they do to it in 3960AD LOL

anyone know a good way to go to sleep?
I havent had more than 2 minute micro sleeps in about 2 weeks :/

congratulations to:


anthony ricketts for winning the Australian Open
(oh..ok.. the Australian Open SQUASH not that phoney tennis tournament)
defeating David Palmer (local lad that) in three sets.

Chris Atkinson (Aussie lad wot) who is currently 2nd outright at the Monte Carlo Rally at his first ever attempt at the event.

marcus Gronholm for leading the event in a new team and a new car (go marcus even if youre NOT in a Peugeot this year).


I had possibly the best game of squash the other day since my head injury .
Felt like i was in the zone finally. Hitting it EXACTLY where I wanted. Volleying at will (no jokes about what will thought of it). Covered everything thrown at me just about. Sometimes you are just caught by a shit hot shot from your opponent though eh. I havent played that well since I was 20ish. Actually... I think I hit it better now than I did then. Just wish I had the speed I had then n the older brain. Undamaged would be good though. Shit my reflexes are slow.

The latest gym programme seems to be working really well for my squash cuz at last i have a trainer who understands the only reason I GO to the gym is to get fitter fer squash (youall should understand when I type 'gym' I expect you to mentally pronounce it 'gime' ala Homer J Simpson). I feel stronger with fewer than normal workouts. I'm hitting the ball consistently harder with the same effort as b4 n My leg drive is much improved. So I think I'm faster cuz instead of running everywhere I'm taking a couple of sorta hoppy leapy things - one jump insteada 5 steps so I feel more explosive. Still a LONG way to go before I'm happy though.

I'm hoping I can claim some superannuation back (dont think Ive mentioned this b4). So I can buy some new michelins for the Peugeot (french car french tyres nest pas).
also get the AC fixed in it too cuz again it is BLOODY HOT. Thinking about A getting this stupid box upgraded by the gurls' brother or B getting a portable AC for the house too. It is ok inside until mebbe 3pm then it just starts to cook in here. Oddly and in an american ironic way just as outside is cooling down! BTW where i went to school 'irony' is a 'mocking discrepancy between fact and fiction, appearance and reality' not just a bunch of funnily coincidental shit which our north american cousins seem to think of it as. If you couldnt repeat the above definition by week two in 1st form at high school you were, shall we say, in for a lovely time in English with Mr Packer (THAT was irony - cuz you werent in fact in for a lovely time and you were soundly mocked by Mr Packer)hah hah. Betcha 27 years later there isnt a person from that class who cant define irony exactly. Cant remember anything else about that class except Mr packers' leather elbow patches. Which, youll agree, is odd.

hmmm
I like (love) that Martina Hingis is playing tennis again. Not that I like tennis. Cant really stand it actually. I do like watching Martina hingis PLAY tennis however. Never quite understood the anna kournikova thing meself. I wanna perv at 16yos (when she came on) I just go down the local shopping centre.See much cuter ones. AND close enough to touch ! AND able to be flirted with if the mood takes! Martina though... *sigh* She has curves. In the right places.

ENOUGH!

lol

If I dont get to see martina play I try to watch Toni pearen on Australias funniest home videos. Dunno why but she reaaaaaallllly floats my boat. Even with the totally crap outfits they make her wear. The woman is 33 fer chrissake folks NOT 17! Ok she is a fresh faced, slim, sexy as hell 33..... Dress her like an attractive alluring WOMAN not a bloody rack fer teenybopper clothing that frankly looks stupid on her. N people she has A waist! N it isnt immediately below her tits! Try further south.

Ima think about her tits n further south some.... Love how those high heels make her arse look all perky too. ok...


cold shower time fer this cute little black duck.

quotes

hah shit meself laughing at this....


John Macenroe: "I didnt ever question a single line call like Anna Kournikova is a virgin."

scuse me while i crack up again.


Archaeology...hong kong archaeologist Zhang: "the artifacts unearthed mainly are middle- and large-sized ones, differing from those unearthed in the northern
areas which are mainly small. "
No shit eh there was some big stuff and some small stuff. Well waddya know.

Me yesterday : "get me a couple of lettervelopes please."

Uhuh I actually said 'lettervelopes' Felt like a stupid kid whos mum wrote into bloody No Idea or Womans' bullshit-about-stars weekly.

Rocky (after a BIIIIIIIG night): blonde hair big tits...drool.... *drops catch*

Australian captain Mark Taylor: " our plan is to win the game by scoring more runs than the opposition" (the funny part about this is that this totally tongue in cheek remark was splashed across an Indian newspaper as 'Aussie captains' secret tactic to win test match' ...well...DERRRRRRRRRRRRRR

Yeah I thought it was going somewhere too until I got to this point n it just died.

Ok TV shit time...


Supernatural: cool show. Sucks to be the female company fer those boys. Didnt fuck about with backstory - enough to get you up to speed. Bidda boom biddabam n into the story. love the 65 (?) chevy pillarless. Well its a 65-67 somewhere in there ok ok i know i SHOULD know but its been a BLOODY long time since I saw one or opened a book on them so sue me.

Top Gear: I think i absolutely LOVE this show. Yep I do. It is my current fave. 3 mad pommies thrash the tits off new cars, make guests do a fast lap of their test track n put their time up for ridicule. Anyone who can look straight at the camera n say 'ferraris bore me' has me fer a willing watcher. They bore me to tears too. Never driven one. Dont want to. I like that theyre actually AWARE that the only time Porsche win races is against OTHER porsches. When ever another make gets involved porsche get hosed. Lemans, 1978. Porsche GT cup any year since it became open to other makes. ANY time theres another car on the track in roughly the same classification (i dont expect my peugeot 505 to beat ANY sorta porsche any time soon except for comfort ... n longevity...n reliability...n bootspace (thats 'trunk' to my poor misguided north american readers)...n legroom front AND rear. yeah yeah its a sedan ROFL *choke*.
Oh n I LOVE what they do to caravans...
no they dont like caravans any more than I do. I'd work on this show for free.

south Park: still the sick freaky laugh yer balls off n wait fer cartman to sell them back to ya show its always been. Glad we havent seen any more of Ms Chokesondick though. *shudder*

Inspector Rex: possibly the best cop show on tv. An actual smart cop (the dog) with sidekicks who dont get in the way. Good to see walthers n steyrs n such insteada the steady diet of smith n wessons, colts n armalites you get bored with on american cop shows (beats ours though our lot still play with pissy 38 revolvers on tv).

Brainiac: didnt like this at first cuz i suspected the host was a total twat. Then I saw him on Top Gear n realised he is ALWAYS about half a feather tickle from shitting himself laughing all day n it was alright suddenly. I like the brainiac girls.. i like i like i like i like stop I'll go blind.

Got bored with real fast:

Ghost Whisperer... ok J. Love Hewitt gets hotter every year but once youve seen one sad lonely ghost wanting closure (n generally not even with a juicy murder or two tacked on) then basically youve seen them all. I was bored after 2 episodes.

Blind Justice: yep.. inspector rex without the smart dog or a cop who can see. Once you get past the other cops being pricks theres not a lot to hold me to this show. I lasted 5 episodes.

Awaking The Dead: *YAWN* shit acting. Poor forensics. Scripts so wooden they make movable type seem like 21st century technology. bring back Old Dogs PLEASE its alright its ok....

Cold case: actually never got me - i was bored with her cutesy lil girl got caught in the big bad rain shower hairdo thing after 3 adverts for the show. If I was her boss Ida sacked her for showing up like that the 2nd time it happened. Ergo no show.

Cath & Kim: jaysus wept (irish accent) Ive not sat through more than 30 seconds of ANY episode of this show. WHY do the 'critics' think it takes shit n turns it to gold? Youd think it was the 2nd 3rd and 4TH coming of some sort of messianic figure. Instead it is cheap high school level humour (i use the word loosely) Taking easy shots at people who can't afford anything better. Mockery isnt satire. Mockery just points out how small mined the writers are. Take the piss out of people who deserve it. It is popular with people who need to be told what they should find funny, n where to go to church (the trendier the better), and with all the innercity aids carriers who think that because its on the ABfrigginC it MUST be intellectually superior (cuz that means that THEY are intellectually superior cuz they watch it).

Headland: does ANYONE think universities esist in towns that appear to consist of a pub? Does ANYONE think a small minded spoilt brat pissy princess type squealing that another student is an exotic dancer (NOT a stripper or a thinly disguised hooker) wouldnt be told to shut the fuck up mn mind her own business? The only reason I watch it is cuz its so funny it can reduce one to tears. OK that n cuz HSV seems rather fond of it for some reason. Mebbe cuz you dont have to think too hard.
Wonder when they gonna stop importing stupid american scripts holus bolus without even an attempt at modifying them for australian legal n political n schooling structures?

Solilique:
I actually wonder when australian soapies are gonna have a script that even conforms loosely to what happens when the evil developer wants to rape the 'pristine' coast? Like what ACTUALLY happens is : evelopment application is submitted. Has to actually COMPLY with both council ordinances AND State laws. HAS to be on display for ATLEAST 6 months at council chambers (n NOT way down the bakc of the dungeon where the lights dont work) AND be published in the local newspaper such that a reasonable majority of people who might be affected will see it. THEN respond properly to citizens' concerns. THen if THEY dont FUCKING WANT it it doesnt happen. THEY pay council after all.
NOt as soapies would have you believe... paperwork slipped in other council business n passed without any discussion. Residents only find out when the wreckers come through.... sure.

And in Australia Our state police services arent at the beck n call of the local aldermen. Council doesnt pay the cops. It is one thing you can be reasonably certain of - the cops arent in league with the local wanker who thinks he runs the town.
Ahem... Ive dribbled on again havent I?

thank the deity! or The rains're here!

Finally it is raining here!

Ahh the cool the cool!!!!!!
there was a seriously melting mongoose here for a while.

yeah yeah i know it is hotter in Queensland rockape. Ya just tougher eh.



or stupider


well Ive been reading about glycogen levels lately in some of my training books.
I think monday (errrr... today) I had zero glycogen levels after a particularly strenuous sunday. Went to the gym this morning n just couldnt be arsedf. I know theres a certain reader who will immediately say 'lazy fat bastard' n normally youd be right mate eh, but today I just felt drained.


Sad when you can walk into centrelink, say to the guy that you wanna claim some superannuation back n he bangs in your details n says 'no worries I'll print that financial hardship letter right up' n a moment later 'there ya go'. thanks :(
Well the car needs tyres dont it. n the a/c is somewhat less than functional.

enough to make ya laugh at the thought of taking drugs.

Gotta love where ya live eh. Another screaming match this arvo. Dunno where from exactly but close enough that we knew the little bastard was a fucking cunt who was even worse than his bastard pisshead good for nothing useless fucking wanker father.
to quote. Can you imagine yelling something like that at your kid loud enough that the entire neighbourhood can hear it? N then they wonder why theyre doomed to this eternal cycle of abuse n poverty. Dont blame us look at yourselves.
Mind you heh some punk kid the other day decided to swerve out in front of me on one of those little stupid scooter things they think are clever. The look on his face was priceless when he eventually realised A i wasnt gonna swerve to avoid him n B i wasnt braking either. I thought 'screw you ya little bastard car V arsehole = car' and basically I'm tired of this areas little hitler punks who think the road is for being as big a pain in the arse as they can manage on. Funnily enough since then I havent had to worry about bastard kids wandering out in front of me.

Didnt stop Mr Shitwit in a toyota van staring me right in the eye from the sidestreet and STILL trying to drive into my passenger side door. Idiot. Heard of 'right of way' wanker?

I maintain the rage against fucking bastards who run red lights.


I mentioned a while back my sister (bless her soul) acquired me a pair of 'good' scissors for my birthday. I am sure she spent quite an amount on these useless things.
They dont cut paper. They dont cut material (bloody surprising given my sister is tech editor for the main australian quilting mag). They dont cut skin (i tried...). They dont make good orange peelers. Hell they dont cut the stuff htey make racket grips out of (rendering them nigh on bloody USELESS for me eh what). To date we havent found a single thing they can cut with any degree of fluidity n grace. They are extremely well made and are attractive to look at. THIS DOTH NOT GOOD SCISSORS THEM MAKE. So fer execution of primary function id rate them zero. For sucking in trendy sistor id rate them 100%. For looking the goods -100% For giving me the tomtits -100%

They dont even make a good bookmark and arent heavy enough to use as a page holder while ya reading while cooking (you know... put the book on the counter, look round for something to hold it open while ya wizz back n forth doing cooking shit, every now n then returning to read a few lines). So frankly unless i can make them into a functional fishing lure (on the 'silver flashy attractor' principle) Im at a loss as to what to do with them. N no... they dont cut monofilament either. Thats fishing line to the iggerant.

However all is not lost on the useless implement front.

HSV came home from visiting her parents b4 xmas n came bearing a can -opener - that - works. LEmme say that again... a can opener that works. Madre de dios as the spanish would say. I gazed in wonder as she demonstrated. Can goes there. Twirl this bit. See can open. wow. TWICE without failure. To date it has opened more cans successfully than any single opener ive ever had b4. Yes i went on a can opening frenzy. See the trick is to make the can opener out of better (much much better) metal than the damn can is made from. screw appearance. screw 'design' (i htink a wanker term fer ppl who wanna pay more for shit than they can conscience n need an excuse 'oh yes yours works better n is superior in ever sense but MINE was DESIGNED'). So Im a 50% happy man.

Bloody scissors.

I now have a collection of wheel braces since the standard (unuesed i might add) peugeot wheelbrace the car came with unaccountably BENT when I attempted a wheel nut untightening. I was somewhat gobsmacked shall we say. I now have THREE cross braces. plus a Peugeot 404 wheelbrace (if i bend THAT I am spending too much time in the gym). Yep dad went nuts with the wheelbraces when he came up last heh.I feel like sending it back to Mr Peugeot n asking him wtf theyre playing at. I mean they MAKE their own steel. Oh well its been upgraded to an older version now. Typical. We upgraded my 505 starter motor to a 504 one. We upgraded my 505 clutch to a 504 one. Same with the d/s driveshaft. ok ok we changed the front struts for 505 GTI struts from mums GTI which got shall we say ... shortened? theyre stiffer n lower than 504 so they are better (its a bloke thing ok)

hello nobody

another coincidence

just read another book
had a character named 'caro' in it. I knowit is a diminutive of 'caroline' but I dont ever remember reading it b4. Logged on n in amongst all the spam mail was a new one from you guessed it - caro.

This isnt the only weirdy time Ive gotten email like that.
My exgf n I talk on msn. She likes getting called lulu. 2 days after I started talking to her again I get spammail from 'lulu'.

I think theyre watching me.

Right
hope everyone had a good blahblah blahblah.. etc

it has been uncomfortably hot here over Xmas. Whihc partly explains why I havent made any contributions lately (too hot in the puterroom frankly).

Theyre talking about building bloody trams in Sydney.
god no
proof positive too many Melbournians are moving north! Damn things a re dangerous n take up way too much space AND need electricity which is gnerally generated by coal burning stations n hence ecologically unsound. N theyre ugly. N they get in the way.

Extend the damn monorail if ya want people moved from central to circular quay. Shit
Theres aTRAIN that runs there anyway. Yeah spend billions on MORE rail when you cant make the railways we HAVE work properly. Wonderful
N as fer the moron who said today on radio 'we USED to have trams in sydney so the roads are wide enough' is a blithering moron. Smeggin wonderful logic that. we USED to have sodding horses n buggies too. Anyone wanna bring them back? There were also only half a million people living there then. So what a wonderful idea lets close down HALF the (already totally inadequate) road system through inner Sydney n stick big noisy clumbsy things running on steel rails (great in the rain if you drive over them in a car) there instead.

More proof positive the road system is run by half bald morons who wear grey cardigans, live with their mum, drink lukewarm milky tea n catch the train to work every day cuz 'why drive when theres a perfectly good public transport system' plus they probably failed their licence test. When will someone who doesnt fit that description, or isnt a minister who doesnt get driven to work every day gona run things?

Then we wouldnt have on every road in the country negative camber decreasing radius bends which practically GUARANTEE youll fall off the road if youre a bit faster than you thought, its a bit wetter, or theres some diesel you didnt see in the dark or youre a dickhead behind the wheel. It is hard enough dodging the morons. When the ROADS are laid out like racetracks its homicide. Racetracks are SUPPOSED to represent a challenge to the driver. Public roads are NOT. Then they just straight out blame 'speed'. mumble something about pissed idiots n ppl stare blankly. Say the roads are poorly designed n watch the ostrich effect.

bugger them
