My commute to work involves two highways and a freeway, so there's always cars broken down on the side of the road. On Roe Highway, there's been this broken down Daewoo which has been parked on the side of the highway for over a couple of weeks.
At first, the car remained mostly whole for the first week or so. It then got a sticker saying it was reported. After a few more days, someone decided to smash the windows, where it stay like that for a few more days. Yesterday, someone decided to take the wheels, and so it was a shell resting on the road.
Over night, someone finished it off. It was a burnt out shell.

From a news article about the US election...
Senator McCain was given Kentucky, Oklahoma, South Carolina, West Virginia, Tennessee, Arkansas, Georgia, Alabama, North Dakota, Wyoming, Louisiana and Kansas.
Hahaha, no surprises there.
Asians are terrorists...
That's the conclusion that I've come up with. Or maybe it's just me. For some reason, 6ft Asian guys are dodgy.
On my recent trip to Sydney, I was bomb checked on both flights there and back. The security personnel explain the "random" searches and ask if they can perform a swab test. Do I look more suspicious if I tell them where to go?

A realisation at the Dragonforce gig
You know you are no longer a spring chicken when young people piss you off. And that's what happened last night at the Dragonforce gig.
The crowd at last nights gig were of a younger type and decided moshing was the way to go. When I first started going to gigs, all you had to do was bang your head, raise your fist in the air and enjoy the music. Young metal heads now take from their grunge counterparts and think that pushing and slamming into everyone is cool.
Whilst I believe in horses for courses, I paid good money to watch a band and feel my eardrums getting blown to bits. I don't need some sweaty, musty, fucktard slamming into me every time a fast riff / solo comes on.
And that's the end of my rant. How was the gig? Not including the aforementioned, it was a bit mixed for me. Both Universum (support band) and Dragonforce had mixing issues (I felt it wasn't balanced) and Dragonforce definitely sounded different live. This is probably due to the amount of layering they do. The CD may have 3 or 4 guitar tracks, whilst live, they only have 2 guitarists. So in some sections, the sound sounded "hollow".
I also knew the bands intro music too, and found it when I got home. It was Last Ninja 2 from the Commodore 64. Yes I'm a nerd....

Sony PS3 updates
Bloody hell. Sony seem to take the Microsoft mentality of system updates. Seems I'm forever updating this #&!(en thing just to get onto the Playstation Network. And every time they want me to update, it's > 100mb of quota.
Sony, take note: Get your shit right the first #*@(en time.

No need for new glasses
I got a letter from my optometrist last week saying it was time for a checkup. So today, I went for my appointment.
Whilst my eyes have gotten slightly worse over the past 2 years, the optometrist said there's no need for new glasses. They will only improve my sight marginally, but I can go for them at a later date. Good thing I guess.
