Last night I was driving home in the rain and lost control on a bend in the road. I tried to brake and then accelerate out of the slide but there was just nothing to grip onto and the car slid straight off the road. Don’t really remember what exactly happened next as it was all too fast but i smashed into a heap of trees on the side of the road and came to a stop backwards just touching a fence. That fence was blocking off a massive drop down an embankment.
I jumped out quickly without a scratch on me but my baby was totaled. My insurance should consider it a write-off which is what I am hoping for because my excess is $1250 and I can’t really spare that just before xmas.
It’s been awhile since a regular blog entry so here goes it.
Umm I’ve been back a couple of weeks now, first week was good just to relax after the pretty full on trip (as you can see by the NZ entries). I had my job interview/meeting 2 Friday’s ago and all went well for me to start the Monday week, I was kinda glad because I was enjoying my holiday life and needed another week to get use to getting up early.
So by lunchtime on Monday I was officially over my holidays….I was soo freaking bored I made myself some party finger food (biscuits, olives, ham and cheese), cracked open a bourbon and watched a cooking show….definitely time to go back to work. So I guess Tyrone must have been in-tune because he called that afternoon and asked if I could start on Wednesday….WoooHoo!
The new job is awesome, heaps more challenging then my last job with loads more opportunities so I am extremely happy…having money coming in again instead of just going out is a plus too.
HBO has released a cross media new show/experience called “Voyeur”, it’s a series of concurrent events all shot in silence from a voyeur’s perspective. They have released a teaser trailer (above) for the new show that will coincide with the current site here and building projections.
The great thing is that they have developed “Character Artifacts” in the way of distributed print media, exclusive mobile content {very 3 mobile big brother esk}, online “character” blogs and sites that give you clues about what is going on….it’s a treasure hunt that will immerse the viewers the the whole “Voyeur” experience.
There is also a cool blog that HBO have organised to document the entire process, check it out if you want to know more or have no idea what I am talking about

I’m a little bummed that we wont get the whole experience here in Australia but thanks to YouTube and the web we should be able to keep up.
Well I have been putting in a lot on long hours at “The Office” lately and I have almost finished “The Godfather” game on XBOX.
This game is one of the best games I have ever played, it’s like a mafia GTA
Matt and I started playing it last year, I was playing on PC and he was playing on XBOX, it’s been about 7-8 months now and we are finally back into it. Matt’s mate Doug is also playing at home on PS2….so it’s a race to see who will finish first. {I think I might have an unfair advantage though, not working and all}
EA have also released this game on XBOX360, Wii and now PS3 with a heap of new features and game play options….I watched a video of the Wii version and I think I’ll give it a burl once I finish the XBOX version, however I really really want to get it on XBOX360 so I will be ready for GTA: IV in October.
Almost got pulled over by one of these last night!
…On my way home from seeing ‘Blades Of Glory’ last night I overtook a sporty new Toyota Aurion and as I pulled away it’s dash lit up with blue and red, I thought I was done for.
I was only doing about 6 or 7 Km’s over the limit so I quickly pulled back to 60 and sat on it….they didn’t flash again or hit the siren so I just kept driving….they followed me for about 5mins but then turned off. I was freakying lucky!
Anyhow I was just surprised they the COPS now have these cool new cars….I’m quite impressed as I a absolutely hate the commonwhores they usually drive.
