The Hulk

So, I thought edward norton did a good job. I quite liked the film. Marvel is doing well now. Ironman + the hulk + hancock.... will be an interesting cross-over film.

So yeah, the incredible hulk is worth watching. Stan Lee doing his normal cameo appearance. Liv tyler did well...she's odd but sexy. The other actors all did alright.

Australia lost to China, but are through anyway. yay. Is it wrong to know more about european countries football teams then you do about Australia's.

anyway, stress is not good.

anti-religious games

SO, with the trend of violence in computer games now comes a trend of violence and anti-christian/muslim. A new game previewed here http://www.wsls.com/sls/news/local/article/object_of_new_video_game_is_to_stop_the_spread_of_christianity_and_islam/11957/

focuses on killing religious leaders, abraham, mohammed etc before they get a chance to spread religion. The atheist designer seems like an immateur toss, and I know most atheists would not share his opinion.

But seriously - how screwed is the world?

heads up to sendai for pointing it out to me.

Football, the real football

Euro2008 is underway. My $15 has allowed me to watch (at least parts of) 4 games so far. Setanta-by-broadband is pretty cool. Especially with skitz fast net. hmm Skitz, haven't used that word in a while.

Anyway, unsure who I am going for in euro08 yet, germany, italy, croatia, spain..... I wish Turkey had a better team then I would support them.

So yeah, lack of sleep come the week of the finals... damn talk gets in the way a bit.

Working

So today is a public holiday for victoria, and many other states. For some reason, Monash university has declared it not a public holiday and everyone must go to work. We get 1.5 days leave in compensation between christmas and new years. Somehow, the EULA contract the union has sorted out with monash syas its ok, even though it is not an AWA or anything. c'est la vie.

so 54% of people say they are now worse off with Rudd then Howard. http://news.ninemsn.com.au/article.aspx?id=577014 interesting - the headlines say MOST Aussies are worse off... I guess 54% is the majority, but "most"? ahh well, I agree.

Anyway, working is good, tax isn't. Tax return should be :)

Week of crap

So, a week of really crap lab results, or no results, triggered by continuous stuff-ups by myself. Intermixed with random bits of crap, my car overheating going down the M1 and me luckily pulling off (and noticing it) just before roadworks would have prevented stopping for about 5 kms. To top that off I was sick for a bit, but got over it pretty fast. The weekend was good, victory vs juventis friday night. Melb played better than expected though the end killed them with some awesome Juve' goals. Sat night was colonial tramcar restaurant with steph, Em and Seth. A little over-rated, but good nonetheless. Following this was casino, random walk across the city to get coffee and then chai back @ my place. sunday was a bit of shopping, and bunnings and using the BBQ to cook dinner (after buying gas from bunnings). So a decent end I guess... except for sunday's work (in between shops etc) and monday's work giving NO DAMN PROTEIN from my purification. argh!. I am use to things at least partially working lately.

tiger vs top gear

So if you are watching TV and not watching david attenborough's Tiger finale, or Top gear, then you suck. Both awesome shows... though tigers gets the main showing and top gear during the breaks. Log cam is a damn interesting feature, and the tiger's seriously ignore it. Great work for mobile cams carried by elephants.

Anyway, top gear also rocks. Jeremy (host) recently got caught out telling a reporter that he did 186mph on public roads. That's 300km/h.

Damn I want to race in a lambo against a porsche or aston. Though that is probably the only porsche I find attractive.

So yeah the new lotus/proton elise is hot. As are the new protons. My 97 model proton sucks. Not only is it damaged (body) but it is currently in the shop getting the water pump and aircon pulley replaced. Hopefully it's just that, or I may well be ditching it.
