Formula One is currently on in Spa this weekend and WTF is happening!


Force India on poll. Wha?!? Huh?? Umm?? He isn't even particularly light. I don't know what to say. Congrats to Force India I guess and for shame to the rest of the teams. Will be interesting to see how the race pans out.


I tried one of Macca's new Angus Beef burger. It is, completely unsurprisingly, quite horrible.
I'm not sure in what reality the bun would be classed as 'Sour Dough'. The 'Angus Beef' is as far as I could tell, is just a thinker normal Mac pattie. in general it was pretty much the same class of horrible as all other Macca's food. I did like the fact that is was a square. I'm not a fan at all of the round burger. Sandwiches are square for a reason, cause fuckin square are better.

Today I bought a bread maker. I like bread, but all the store bought stuff has nutritional issues imo. Making my own bread by hand was great for a week or so but really quickly got boring. I really didn't expect the machine to work but it does. How neat. Now to perfect my recipe.

I am a massive fan of energy drinks. I shouldn't be because they are BAD, but I am. So I am on a mission to taste as many as I can get my hands on. I will progressively post review of what I try.

A trip to Mexico

on 27 August 2009

Today I took a work trip to Mexico. For the uninitiated Mexico is the colloquial name for Melbourne, south of the border.


It was purely a work thing, but any excuse to get out of the office is good and fun.

I still managed to take a picture of some kind of Church like construction that was quite pretty.

Qantas managed to have both flights run late, a record that rivals City Rails fabulous record. Still, sending planes 750k's across a country is probably a slightly harder job than sending a train 20k's across a city.

So in other news... Snow Leopard is out tomorrow and everyone loves cute little snow leopards. While it doesn't look particularly interesting, or even exciting, it is only $39 so why the hell not.

It seems the 'ring's road car record got smashed again. I'm not sure how much of a 'road' car a Radical SR8LM is. I can't see anyone running the kids to school or picking up groceries form the shops in one. Anyway, the best point is this awesome, commented video of the lap. Seriously worth a watch.

Cheers

James Camerons Avatar has to be one of the most exciting movies due out this year. There is a new teaser up at apple http://tinyurl.com/mdtakl .

Have only managed to watch it on the iPhone thus far, but it looks pretty incredible.

Work, Suit Shopping, Cheesecake and Pain

on 06 August 2009

There we go, I've sucessfully summed up my day in four words. Let's work through them.

Work has been overwhelming busy for the last few weeks which is a bit of a double edged sword. I like feeling overwhelmed and busy, but it also wears me put quite a bit and limits both my fun time and the number of blog posts I make.

Next, suit shopping. Tomorrow night is my workplaces first birthday function. This function is, for reasons I am unable to fathom, a formal event. Now I am not a particularly formal guy and obviously don't own any formal atire. Ergo, suit shopping.

Nik made cheesecake. I ate some and it was awesome.

Pain, well. A lot of the above really, well, excluding the cheesecake.

Cheers

Wow. Another day.

on 04 August 2009

Indeed, today was, predictably, another day, just like the one before and inevitably, like the one after.


Tomorrow my new iPhone 3GS is due, which should be nice. Living life with only an iTouch and constantly having to hunt for wifi spots is just not that fun. I'm looking forward to it.

An excuse to spend more money on apps is always good too.
