The Future

The future. The final frontier.

Space. A continuous area or expanse that is free, available, or unoccupied.

Enough of that.

I get excited aboot the future! More specifically, I get excited aboot futuristic cities!

The first video I saw that got me excited aboot the future was this one.

After viewing that, I thought to myself, “Why does that building shapeshift?” and also “sigh, it’ll take like an infinity of time before our world looks like that.”

But now, thanks to filthy oil-rich countries, my dream is becoming a reality. I give you….

MASDAR CITY!

Rather than explain it to you, just check out these videos. This nerd is annoying, but he explains most of it.

Nerd explains Masdar City

And this video gives you a 3D view of what it’ll look like. I don’t care if you think it looks sterile and boring. Get off my blog!

And the Wiki page.

Escape from L.A.

I’ve never really seen this movie, but I do vividly remember one scene from when I was flicking through TV stations many years ago.

Major Millionaire Fraud

So I just finished watching the 8 videos on YouTube about Major Charles Ingram, a contestant on the British version of Who Wants To Be a Millionaire.

You’ve probably all heard the story about it, but if you haven’t, I don’t want to spoil it for you. Each video is about 9 minutes long, but if you have nothing better to do, I’d recommend giving them a watch.

Rawhide

Well, I wasn’t going to post this as it’s not my best work, didn’t quite sync as I’d like, it was 4am, I was tired, and I was supposed to be studying…

but I haven’t written a blog in a while, and I don’t have anything else to write.

So here it is.

Perth Drivers

So after I recently just got involved in a car accident (entirely not my fault) I’ve decided to write a blog about driving.

My friend got hit twice in the space of 3 hours.

Looking at the Perth road rules, I can see why they’re such bad drivers.

How to get your Ps

Age Limit

Victoria – 18

NSW – 17

WA – 17

Recorded Hours in Log Book

Victoria – at least 120 hours of supervised driving in a variety of conditions, including 10 hours at night.

NSW - at least 120 hours driving time (which includes 20 hours of night driving)

WA – On or after your 17th birthday, and once your log book has been checked and verified that you have completed the minimum 25 hours, you can sit the HPT to get your provisional licence.

There’s your answer.

Why!

So I went to a party last night, and some gatecrashers tried to join the party. They were kicked out, so they picked up empty beer bottles and threw them at us. They also punched a few people. One guy had blood rushing down his face, and another had a big cut on his eyelid.

Tonight I went to a jazz concert. On the way home I got a flat tyre due to a nail. I didn’t have the right tool to get the spare tyre out, so I called the RAC. While I was on the phone to the RAC, someone drove past and threw an egg at my car.

So many thoughts, so little good thoughts #1

1. The word “thoughts”. It’s like the word “though” but with a ‘t’ on the end. Though..ts. English language is strange.
2. There are several songs I can’t enjoy anymore, or ever enjoyed. This is mainly due to their overuse at parties, socials, formals, etc. Here is a short list of the songs I don’t like, and why I don’t like them.

• “I’m Gonna Be (500 Miles)” – The Proclaimers. Typical song to play in a pub, with everyone drunkenly shouting “I WOULD WALK 500 MILES AND I WOULD WALK 500 MORE” and then the “da da da (da da da) da da da (da da da) Da Da Da Dun Diddle Un Diddle Un Diddle Uh Da”. Painful.
• “Grease Megamix” – Joe Masciantonio. I want to shoot myself when everyone in the room screams this at the top of their lungs. (I’ve edited the video so it’s only a few seconds long, isolating the most annoying part)
• “The Time Warp” - The Rocky Horror Show. I’m not sure what it is, but people just have the urge to scream as loud as they can in their falsetto voice. I think it’s hilarious. <sarcasm>
• “Nutbush City Limits” – Tina Turner. I don’t have much against this song, it’s just overused, and the dance is ridiculously repetitive.

3. I wonder if I’d make a lot of money standing outside loud night clubs and selling small earplugs for 50 cents.

4. I wonder if people who look after their lawns hate their neighbours that don’t look after theirs.

5. I like when people on the internet insult someone by saying “nice grammer” and they spell “grammar” wrong.

6. Why haven’t they created cars which have windows that become fully tinted when the keys aren’t in the ignition and the doors are locked. Surely this would help keep the cars more cool on hot days. You can also turn the tinting off if you want to see outside.

7. Why haven’t they created something to put on your windscreen which you can move around and place over the sun when it’s in your eyes. Car sun visors don’t help if the sun is setting.

8. I can’t manage to do the dishes without doing something stupid which leaves me soaking wet. I’ll hold a spoon under the tap and the water will spray on me. I’ll push the scrubbing brush too hard into a glass and water will squirt out on me. I hate doing the dishes.

9. Fifi Box is not funny.

10. The Big Bang Theory is not funny. And no, it’s not because “I don’t understand the jokes”.

11. I’m guessing I probably won’t go see Bride Wars.

12. Why is my signature different every time?

13. I enjoy going the speed limit in the fast lane. The people behind me get so angry and I just smile. I wonder if they’re thinking, “STOP GOING THE SPEED LIMIT! I WANT TO SPEED!”

14. My legs are pretty much healed up as best they can. Here they are, in a GIF. (This took ages to make by the way. Stupid Macs.)

15. This song is pretty mental.

That’s it for a while! Sorry for taking so long. Been busy moving into my new place. xoxoxox

My Legs

Don’t call your first born Humpty, if your surname’s Dumpty!

Don’t try to jump onto a brick ledge if you know you can’t do it.

On Wednesday the 13th of August, there was a competition to see who could jump onto a brick ledge whilst keeping their legs together. I failed.

I hobbled to the uni nurse where she filled the hole with putty, put on some bandages and sent me on my way.

Last night Julian took some nice quality pictures for all to see. 

WARNING!! THESE PICTURES ARE EXTREMELY LARGE AND I DON’T KNOW HOW TO MAKE THEM SMALLER, AS STUPID MACS DON’T SEEM TO HAVE IMAGE EDITING PROGRAMS! ALSO, SOME PICTURES MAY CAUSE QUEASINESS!

Firstly, here’s the wall.

WALL

and now here’s the left leg.

LEFT LEG

and now here’s the right leg. As you can see, the putty is attached to the bandage, and gives you a good idea of how deep the wound is. 

RIGHT LEG

Stupid blog. Stupid wall. Stupid me.

Thun Luzzy

Just a quick one. Not sure if you get these ads in Victoria, or Canada, or wherever you are, but this ad makes me laugh. Crazy accents. Make sure you watch til 1:04, oh, and 1.46. Umperfictions? Even bitter? Gold!

Deodorant

I once had a dream to make a deodorant that smelt exactly like chocolate (or, to be more precise, melted chocolate). Last week, I spotted a can of Lynx Chocolate deodorant. My heart sank. I thought my dreams had been shattered into shards of a broken dream. That was until I smelt it. It smells NOTHING like chocolate!!! I was so happy! And at the same time, so infuriated! Why would they call it Lynx Chocolate, and have an entire ad making you think it’ll smell like chocolate, when it doesn’t? Doesn’t bother me though (obviously it does) because I’m going to melt chocolate into a can and sell it. Also, I like the smell of clean washed clothes, but that smell doesn’t last long, and rather than just wash them again, I’m going to sell the scent of washing powder in a can.

While we’re on the topic of cans, I bought a red bull energy drink Thursday night. It cost me $6! I was outraged.
