Last week along the freeway, the overhead signs were turned on, saying last week was Motorcycle Safety Awareness Week.
I have a tip for all motorcyclists out there:
Maybe you won't die so often if you didn't try and weave in and out of moving/stationary traffic.
KFC quote
I frequent OzBargain and sometimes, KFC deals are posted. I like this quote, it's so true...
As i get older it seems to be disagreeing more and more with the lower part of my digestive system. But its still agreeing with my mouth so I'm still willing to make a compromise.
Two years into ownership
Another year owning my car (see one year ownership here). With a bit more fruit (fun parts) installed, still enjoying the car.
My one gripe with the car, it's not menacing enough. With the badges removed, the car looks like a garden variety Focus (there are differences, but only Focus owners would probably pick it), and so everybody thinks they can cut in front of me cos I'm a slow hatchback... *buzzer* wrong answer. The car has a power/weight ratio that enables it to make V8s worry. Standing start acceleration isn't very strong (stupid front-wheel-drive), but rolling acceleration is brilliant. And the noise! Mmmm.. 5 pots do sound good on full song.

Wannabe Hero
CB and I were walking to the shops this morning when a wannabe hero in a blue Commodore V8 ute decided to do a burnout whilst turning out of a street. He failed on a couple of counts:
1) His ute was that shitty that his LSD was stuffed and only did a burnout with one wheel. Single pegger burnouts = no respect.
2) He lost control and hit something. By then he had disappeared around the corner so couldn't see if he actually hit something or he mounted the curb and it was his car that made the crunch noise. I hope he's smashed a sideskirt, buckled a wheel and bent some suspension.
Too bad we weren't closer at the time cos I would've taken his rego and reported him. I am all for performance and modified cars but dicks like these tarnish the reputation of the majority who behave themselves.

Wrong turns
Why is it that drivers these days on Perth roads think it's OK to hold up lanes of traffic because they've made a wrong turn/maneouvre?
I see it quite regularly these days, people do not get it into their heads that they can't continue and turn back around, they HAVE to try and barge their way into an existing queue, thus holding up other traffic in the queue and people who want to go straight.

Skyrim finished....
So after 115 hours, I finally finished the main quest of Skyrim. I must admit, I didn't complete two of the last side missions that I received as I just wanted to finish the story to play another game. I found the ending to be a little anti-climactic after all the awesomeness travelling around Skyrim and dominating the Thieves Guild, College of Winterhold, Companions and Dark Brotherhood. By the time I got to the ending, I was too powerful and Alduin lasted mere seconds after he landed to attack me.
It was fun while it lasted, although the bug which only affected the PS3 which made the game unplayable was very annoying. It's a good thing Bethesda fixed it otherwise I probably would've put the game away and never finished it.
