Wow, over a week since last update.

Haven't really felt like posting much either here or on TrekBBS - can't really think up much to say (yeah, yeah, what else is new?). Things going pretty much as normal.

Could've scored myself a mystery bag on the way to work today - fell off the back of a truck, literally! Victoria Ave? has a steep hill with lights halfway up, and the truck wasn't doing too well re-starting. Wasn't much to do but get it out of the way of the other cars and not manage to get the driver's attention.

Got really close to a pair of black cockatoos - was walking almost-underneath a bottle-brush tree (they flower at this time of year, large round hair-brush like red flowers) when I heard a flower drop. Looked up and WHEEE-AAAAAHHHH!! WHEEEEE-AAAAAHHHHHH!! (have I mentioned that these cockatoos are loud? They're loud.)

Some people can't switch off. I got an advertising spiel at the bus stop today from a rep for a new paintball place while he was waiting for his lift. Strange place to be advertising, since the stop isn't exactly in the CBD at that distance.

Have picked up Thud! - good case for looking things up online first, saved $15 by knowing to look in Angus & Robertson instead of Dymocks or Collins. Thanks to someone's influence, I'm now reading all the Willikins scenes as Alfred. And the telling of The Story, Ankh-Morpork style, made my mind move to a horrific place - babysitting by Nobby! :lol:

And since I haven't thought up anything more to say, have a few quizzes!

New Mutant
You have 66% X-Factor!

Well, you aren't completely up to scratch but you know some of your
stuff. I'm guessing you are either relatively new to the subject, or
haven't picked up a comic for a while

A respectably tough test - and beat all but one person in the "recently took this test" column.

ZOE: Soldier
You scored 60% roughness,
40% intelligence, and 50% isolated!

Congratulations, you are Zo�!!!

Mal's second-in-command, Zoe Alleyne, fought by Mal�s side in more
than
a dozen campaigns, including their planet�s final battle for
independence against the Alliance. She was the only other member of the
57th to survive the bloody fight for Serenity Valley.

Zoe�s passion is keeping the ship from falling into oblivion.
She�s
a career soldier and is completely loyal to Mal, which sometimes causes
friction with her husband.

Zoe�s husband, Wash, is her opposite: a good-natured pilot who
loves to fly but hates to fight. Zoe�s a killer...and that�s
far from
who Wash is.

And after a hard day at work commiting numerous felonies, wherever
necessary, she always come home to Serenity and to her husband.

Zoe? Shiny and all, but given the answers I gave, I guess it's only because I didn't choose plastic dinosaurs all the time. ;) Wash seems closer to me.

Ralph
Congratulations! You scored 100%!

You are the physical incarnation of Ralph Wiggum in
the purest form!

*snork* I won! I won!

Quasi-Cynic
Fine, take your 34 points
and get outta here!

You're getting there. Keep on questioning everything. Eventually,
you'll find the truth in anything if you dig and dig until people are
so fed up they'll tell you the truth just to shut you up. It's a hard
road, but in the end, very satisfying.

Wow. *blink blink* I'm not a total cynic? My world as I know it is shaken,
I tell you! Shaken!

Captian Carrot
You scored 90
intelligence, 56 morality, and 71 physical strengenth!

You are an intriguing character. Good hearted, incredibly strong, and a
headful of information that makes that Jeopardy guy look like a bar
trivia hack. No one knows what to make of a six-foot tall dwarf who
dates a werewolf, and may be the true heir to the throne of
Ankh-Morpork. But you can make everyone get along, and are a born
leader.
