I would be totally surprised and really sad if an American of my age didn't know about the Lewinsky case. However, I certainly discovered a Tasmanian today who didn't know ANYTHING about it. And they're at Uni, where the educated supposedly thrive. How could you not know about it at all? That's one of many things that I thought many people should know about, even if it is kinda silly. What things you thought most people would know that someone did not know?
So in the past couple of weeks, thanks to the wonderous world of social networking, I pretty much have every Saturday (including this one) for the next month tied up with invitations to birthdays or going away shindigs or both, mostly for 21st birthdays. The celebration of the 21st birthday is mostly redundant in this country as all our laws focus around the ages of 16 and 18 (like joining army, drinking, voting, getting a learners permit, etc). 21st these days really doesn't have any meaning, b
Now why on earth did I use the American spelling? Well, you'll soon see. Oh, and once again, have a happy Good Friday!

They have a Chimoru spinning avatar thing, probably lives in the US but is vague on the detail, has a banner for his epic and appears to be a writer of sorts. Cool.

Things are going along nicely. I should be getting the last of the lines any day now and I have photographed all but two scenes for the whole thing. And I have over 10 minutes of completely finished work, which is great. However, here's a question for you. The last two scenes I have to do are tough, as there are lots of characters doing lots of things at the same time, and they have to all be captured. One of those scenes is pretty much the large chunk of Part 3 of Titan Olympics. So, before I s
It was a surprise to me to see this today. Even though it is September. Anyway, here's my usual rant about this one. First off, I was surprised to find this little number within the catalogue. Yes, a little Fire Boat. They should really do this more often, otherwise I'll get so annoyed with getting these magazines. But, hey, I'm getting them free, as I say everytime. This issue came with Mahri stickers, which for once look pretty pretty nice. Onto the actual magazine though, and I find an improv
And what did I do in my Easter Break? Pretty much nothing. This is the one holiday of the year where I'm disadvantaged. While (I'm assuming) you guys get at least 2 weeks, I only have 1. So I'm sad. Oh well. Easter was way too early this year. And now no holidays till the 30th of May. And Daylight Saving ends next Saturday. Yay, a gained hour! Not like I need it though, I'm sleeping too much. Which is making me tired, funnily enough.
Every year, three of the major retailers in Australia (K-Mart, Big W and Target, although more may do it as well) have a huge toy sale at the start of July and lasts for a few weeks, with lots of savings, layby and all of that consumer jargon. You would think that releasing the new wave of sets (not just BIONICLE, but all the lines) around or before that date would be good for sales, and not a whole month later. Not that I am economically or business minded, but that is my understanding of how t

What about my AC#16 entry? The Eighth Magazine I got features the LEGO themes Adventurers, Speed Slammers (?), Star Wars, Race and Knights Kingdom. It is September 2000. Page 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 22, 23, 24 N.B. This one actually came late, from memory, and came in mid October. This was apparently due to the Sydney Olympics, and somehow this disrupted their work on this great literary journal. I hardly blame them, it is still in my opinion the bes
Thanks to all of you who voted for my entry in AC#14. I'm pleased to have come fourth in my poll, coming behind three fabulous entries. I'm stoked I got the support that I had, so I thank you for that. Secondly, Work Experience finished on Friday, and yeah...I never want to see a movie trailer for A Might Heart, Stardust, Evan Almighty, The Brave One, The Kingdom, Rush Hour 3 or Death at a Funeral ever again. Although Death at a Funeral looks like a funny movie, so I'll probably go to that at so
According to Coolguy's Law, the popularity of the host is inversely proportionate to how much fun you can have at their house. Since family card games (such as UNO) are notorious for hosting the worst slumber parties, one can assume that the aforementioned card games are some of the most popular people in the world. WHAT DO THEY HAVE THAT I DON'T?! D:

For me, Christmas is 2hrs and 12mins away, so I probably won't be seen till Boxing Day. For now, Merry Christmas! And to everyone else, have a great time with your festivities! And let's hope we all have a Happy New Year! - HELP!
Well, we were led to believe that the rest of Australia would get onto Daylight Savings at the same time as us. We were wrong. We are still in the unfortunate state of being a whole hour ahead of the country, and therefore meaning that everything in the media will be behind by an hour. And I am ticked off. So Heroes will be on at 10:30 on Thursday. Graah! Oh, and I'm talking to you from my Vista computer. I'll make an entry about it later today. Vista powered Titans..

So, from tomorrow (the 8th) till the 13th I will be in Adelaide on a sort of nostalgic trip. I used to live in Adelaide for nearly 4 years, before moving back to 2001. Yes, not long after coming back to Tasmania I first found out about BIONICLE. So yeah, it will be interesting how the place has changed and all that. We've even got accomodation in the old neighbourhood I used to live in, which is pretty sweet. Shame it's the exact wrong time of year to be going there, it gets beastly hot in summe
With the current election, there are two differing plans on how to improve internet speeds in Australia. Because our internet sucks, not one of our cities are in the top 100 in the world. Dumbing this down greatly, and maybe not completely accurately, but if you're interested enough go read yourself somewhere. Plan 1 ('Ford') is to spend about $6bn on a fibre-network hub, which could incorporate all present and future technologies and be able to handle 12 megabits per second. Plan 2 ('Ferrari'

That time of 3 months again. Where I rant about a certain mag I get in those kind of intervals. First off, and the only real reason why I get the magazines now, there was Endgame. Oh, it's just so great to have the comic in hand. Best decision LEGO Australia has ever made to get the comics. Not that they've had alot of good decisions. There's the usual 25 word contest, this time for a Speed Racer set. Um, right. I was kinda hoping for a BIONICLE Vehicles contest. Hint hint. There's also a sticke
I've made it to 4000 posts. And, if you feel like it, but are in no way obliged to (really), go and vote for Matoran Spheres, which is entry 4.
