11:34pm: It's that guy who slept for 19 years! I saw this doco a few months ago and it really was creepy, I mean imagine been in a car crash and the next thing you know it's almost 20 years later! :Oo Although, it's kind of hard to tell because the guy has some serious brain damage so maybe he can't remember properly.

But seriously, I don't even like the idea of a general aesthetic where you only lose like 5 hours! 19 years that would suck! It seems this doco is almost three years old, I wonder how the guy (his name is Terry) is going now.

Anyway, I was on You Tube where there's this video of Queen Elizabeth II coronation, interesting, but I can't watch it because it's so jerky that it's make me feel motion sick! :Oo But I saw George III's Gold Coronation Coach, fine piece of work that thing. Been here for...uh...a while, like 250 years. Nice.

I have recently been wondering if patriotism and what not is kind of over rated, last week I was ~~arguing~~ talking with Grandpa about how the Developing World is overcrowded while the Health Minister of Australia is telling Australian women to have three children to combat the aging population. Anywho, I thought it would make sense to rearrange the world's population, but of course you can't really do that...Because people don't really like having to leave where their roots are and the laws are different and jazz like that.

Hmmm...puzzling...

The thing is though Australia really shouldn't have more people, I mean we're running out of water! We should probably keep people in work longer or something...but that would probably suck. Ah confusion!

( Anyway, catching up on yesterday's Late Memes: )

Wow, there's a guy on this show who suffered brain damage and now he doesn't have any emotions! What the Hell? How horrific is that? I'd seriously consider killing myself in that case, I mean imagine having no feelings! Although ironically I would bet if I was in that place I probably wouldn't care at all.

But how sad for his wife and son. :O( Imagine having someome who doesn't care at all and could leave you at any time without giving a shit. Thanks a lot.

Still don't know what to do about that short story thing... So I'm asking you, the public, to help. And I'll do it in poll format, for we all love a good poll.

[Poll #919913]

Right, it's almost half past twelve and I stayed up pretty late last night so I better turn in now. Don't forget to have your say. :OP

Goodnight all!

11:19pm: Tonight David Attenbourough's series about the Natural World was on ABC and tonight's show was about the Frozen World, in other words Penguins! Oh they're so cute waddling around the place in their tuxedo like feathers. :O) And I was surprised to discover that lots of stuff from Happy Feet such as the 'singing' and the bunching up for heat thingos are based on facts. Cool. But it was very sad when a group of little chicks got seperated from their group and ended up dying. :O( They were so cute and fluffy! Poor little penguins!

So I've written up a short story, of course the problem is...it's kind of a last minute job, bummer...Well, you can't win if you don't enter I suppose. I'm not sure if it will even be of interest as it's about Queen Charlotte's journey from Germany to England to get married (it's not as dry as it sounds, LOL!) Of course, I kept getting distracted by the fact I've made a Font of Queen Charlotte's handwriting to go with George III's. Unfortunately there's no memeber of the Babysitter's Club who has similiar handwriting to Queen C (snicker, that's got to be the biggest coincidence I've ever seen!), so I had to do it from the ground up. There was difficult due to the fact I'm left handed so half the damn letters were tilted in the wrong direction, but I figured out how to fix that. I think it looks pretty sharp if I do say so myself.

Anyway my stupid hip is playing up again, I think I must be sleeping on it wrong or something, I will take the advice given of WebMD about how to lie and see if that helps. I'll also do some more walking tomorrow, that is to say, I'll actually go out. I was going to go shopping today, but I got distracted and there were good shows on tonight, so I ended up not going.

But yes there will be walking tomorrow! Looking for that Post Box for one, I wonder what I should do if I can't find it...oh well, I'll cross that bridge when I come to it.

I be tired, despite the fact I total overslept today (which is why I ran out of time for shopping), what's with that shit anyway? The body is a pain in the ass I swear.

Sat 8

::The Superbowl Edition:: (Oh great...)

1. Did you participate in competitive sports as a child? If so, which one(s)?

Well except for the one time I was in a trampolining competition (I can't believe I did that...go me!) nope. Competitive sports aren't my think, team ones paritcularly, because having people scream at me when I do something wrong isn't my idea of a good time.

2. Were there any sports that you wanted to participate in, but could/did not?

Tennis, diving, gymnastics...the first I just suck at, the second I can't do at all and the third I tried to do, but I wasn't very good and with my muscles...well let's just say I can't even touch my toes!

3. Did your High School have a 'good' football team?

We had a rugby team, but I don't know if it was good or not, it was the chick kind of rugby though, where you don't tackle people you just tap them, so it wasn't the biggest of spectator sports.

4. Did you go to high school football games? Why or why not?

Hells no, I didn't go to any of the games, it's not that big of deal. Although, that's probably changing now because there's so many fat kids now. In the old days you were able to stop doing P.E (Gym) in Year 9 (15 years old), so sport wasn't big. The only time you had to go see a sport was the Swimming and Athletics Carnival. Gawd I hated that shit.

5. which was the best in your high school: the Football team, the cheerleaders or the band?

Um, we had no cheerleaders, and football wasn't really football, so it would be the band. We had some very good musicians though.

6. Are you more partial to college football, NFL football, or arena football?

They all suck.:OP

7. There is some contention among people in regard to the college bowl system vs. the NFL playoff system; Steve Spurrier has been very vocal about his desire for a true play-off system for college football. U'm not well-versed in this as I am an ice hockey fan, so I'm doing some research on this to form an educated opinion on the system. Do you think that the college system should mirror the play-off system for the NFL?

What? Hey, Steven Spurrier is the name of the killer in a Patricia Cornwell novel. :OD

8. OK ... Bears or Colts? Who's it going to be tomorrow?

I really don't know who those are...I'd say the Bears, because they're like the Cubs and you know what Back to the Future II says about that.

Saturday Six

1. Who's going to win the Super Bowl?

Who cares?!

2. Have you been invited to any Super Bowl parties? (Or are you throwing your own?)

No.

3. If you were invited, would you go, even if you hate football?

If there was good food and my friends were there, probably, maybe we could invite some other friends who hate football so we can all go off and talk.

4. Have you ever thrown a party focused on a television program?

I'm sure it will surprise my father to hear that this is a no. :OP

5. If you were given free tickets to the Super Bowl, would you attend? Why or why not?

Oh fuck no, first of all I hate football, second of all I don't like stadiums and I sure as Hell ain't gonna go to see a game I don't like or understand.

6. Do you worry about security at such an event? Would those worries prevent you from attending or in any way make you less likely to attend?

Nah. Although I heard it can be a bit dangerous to go to a soccer game down here, because for some reason there's a team that's considered to be 'Serbian' and another that's considered to be 'Croation' and there's always a bust up when those two play each other. So I wouldn't go to one of those, if I liked soccer, of course, which I don't. :OP

It's that Kitchen Crime Scene show again, I've been trying to see if there's any criticisms of that show. I'm still not getting how if these people have all lived in their house for some time and have not suffered from illness why they're so worried. I mean dude, it's not likely to kill you if it hasn't yet. This show can't be safe for the microphobes, LOL!

Ah, whatever, I'm going on about nothing again, so I'm going to retire to my bed.

Sleeep!
