That myth is heard again and again in popular movies and television.
That myth is the horror of parallel parking.
Well guess what??
I did it, FIRST TRY!!!
There is nothing hard about it, WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE!!

It Came From the Internets: Portal Theme Song.

At the end of an interesting puzzle game called portal, this song plays during the credits.
The premise is it is being sung by GlaDOS, the main antagonist in the game.

Heres a video of said credits:



If you liked that song you might be interested in trying it yourself, it is a really simple song to play. Read more!

My Wonderful Week Off: Final Part: Back to the Big Smoke


This post has been a bit delayed, but here it is:

Wow, how fast did that week go.
Yes, I have returned to "the big smoke" and have resumed my life as normal.
Worst part: I'm back at work.

Apart from that not much more has happened, but when something does happen, I will let you know.

P.S. Full credit for the title goes to Jonathan. Read more!

My Wonderful Week Off: Part 3: The Old Dog and The Sea



Ok, so the dog isn't old, but I just like snappy titles =P.

Anyway, my Friday was enjoyable, we went to a nearby dog beach and let our mutt (Named Miro) loose.
We had the beach ourselves, it was wonderful.

I remembered my sunblock again, but this time I got burned.
No, I wasn't using Cancer Society Trigger Spray SPF30+.

I simply didn't expect to get burnt where I did, My Feet.
Yes, my feet got sunburnt, and it is VERY VERY irritating.
I don't look forward to returning to work and having to wear shoes again O.o Read more!

My Wonderful Week Off: Part 2: The Beach


Ah the sweet sweet sounds and smells of Orewa Beach.
Wait, what's this large yellow thing in the sky, IT BURNES!!!
Just joking, I remembered my sunblock.

Anyway, as you can guess I went to the beach, and swam too... it was brilliant.
Now we are going to take the dog for a walk at a nearby dog beach.. that will be "interesting."

Until next time I post, I will be busy hiding my "Will Kill for Peace and Quiet" signs, I suspect that Adam is stealing them. =P Read more!

My Wonderful Week Off: Part 1

Ah, sweet sweet relaxation. It seems so long since I last could sit back and not worry about work or other things.

So far I have rocketed around on a quad bike, taken the dog for a walk, and just enjoyed the wonderful weather we have been blessed with.

Right now I'm at my dads place (Really old map, we are in the trees) and looking out the window to a cloudless sky.

Sigh. Read more!
