Bad Timing

Energy Australia got their Earth Hour timing a bit off, sending the City Center into involuntary blackness at peak hour with a power failure.
I traffic jams were the norm in the CBD, however people trapped in lifts is a bit out of the ordinairy. Makes you wonder just what these 'City Folk' would do if the lights went out for good.
In fact I think I could imagine it very well after reading the 50's SciFi novel "Earth Abides".

Harnice the power of doughnuts.

Using donuts to create electricity? Sounds dubious right?

Personally, I would be concerned as to why donuts contain titanium dioxide? Apparently it makes stuff white, and if it's good enough to make white paint white, then it's good enough to put on your sugared donuts.


Alternatively save time with the washing.

Fast Folding: How To Fold A T-Shirt In 2 Seconds - Explained

The blame game.

There are reports in the Sydney Morning Harold (The "quality" shitty tabloid!) of a woman "suing the Department of Education for negligence [...] by failing to recognise the 'increased risks of horseplay' at the end of the school year"

Apparently, after her teacher dismissed class early, in the ensuing horseplay she fell from a height (Read toilet seat) after a "waterbomb" shattered a window she was standing behind.
Now, she claims that the injuries she received were the reason for her dropping out of school at the age of 16, and being unable to attend university to study for a career as a marine bioligist.
Her injuries also spoilt her backup career as a country singer, as she can't remember song lyrics or play the piano or guitar.

Now at 23, she's seeking damages for "injuries as well as for future economic losses".

So I assume she wants the average wage of a marine biologist AND that of a country music singer.

Well, boo fucking hoo!
What arsehole took this case up?
Is this the same guy who will represent me because the Sydney Bus didn't stop for me last week while I was on my way to buy the winning lottery ticket? And what about my future earnings on the accrued interest?

Let's just get one thing straight... this women who was about 13 at the time, had her life spoilt by a Teacher, who let the kids out early on the last day of school.
Not by her playing the fool with the boys.. or the waterbombs, or standing ontop of a wet toilet seat, or by dropping a window on her head?
Perhaps the department of education could countersue, as this woman obviously came to school without a clue that day. Shit happens, live with it, wise up, don't let it happen again, and get on with your damn life.
Don't let it fester for 10 years and then start complaining that you've been hard done by. Why? Because I'm sick of reading this shit in what passes for a newspaper in Sydney!

And just so you know that it's not a freak occurance, a google of Standing on Toilet actually finds photo's of daft schoolies standing on toilets!



Perhaps this sign that I found so rediculous when I first started working here, actually makes sense. Yes, in australia, you have to actually inform people that this is wrong!



On a lighter note.

Busy times.

So 5 weeks 5 days to the big date.

All the barrels are loaded, and the relations and party goers are all preparing to land.

To add to the busy weeks, both K and I have been infected with the fitness bug. Trying desperatly to get the most out of the last of the good weather and long evenings.

I've been sporting myself to exhaustion..
Monday - Touch (Rugby) training
Tuesday - Jogging with K
Wednesday - Cycling 20k to work
Thursday - Touch (Rugby) training
Friday - Cycling 20k to work and 25k back

It's nice to not have to think about excercise on the weekend.
And I still REALLY LOVE watching all the fools in car's waiting in traffic, while I wizz past on the bike path. Muhahahaha!

And did I mention that I've given up the grog for Lent.
I didn't think that one through... Paddies Day on the March 17th and Touch Comp on the 22nd and numerous other temptations. Well I guess I'll just have to grin and bare it until easter sunday.
Do you reacon they do beer flavoured easter eggs anywhere?


[Update]
Oh my... I think since I've been such a good boy I should get one of these...

I wish I was this creative... the remix reaches the next level.

This shit happens to me all the time

I know, I should really do better that posting something everyone's surely already seen.
But honestly, this made me laugh, and then it made me think, "I do this all the time".

I especially hate the dreams where you start falling and then you wake up so fast, that you end up catapulting yourself out of the bed onto the floor.



The Next time I go to ikea, I'm so doing this!


On another note, if anyone has some spare readies, can you buy me one of these
