8:36pm: Yes indeed, since due to the Rona Le Tour was postponed to the very end of August (it usually happens mid-July) so it's still going on right now.

Although much to my disappointment I'm still not able to get Phil Ligget's commentary :O( I've tried with VPNs and whatnot, but alas after ten minutes or so watching the dang thing pauses and has ( Read more... )

9:59pm: For the election which was today. And unlike last time thing's are looking way better...the Liberals who have been screwing us over for the past three years look to end up in a minority government, which basically means they can't just do whatever the Hell they want ( Read more... )

10:09pm: Yes! It's the second year it's been held - the women's race which is part of Le Tour De France, I've always wondered why there's no Grand Tours for women. Actually...I think are some, but you never hear about them, shame. This isn't actually a Grand Tour it's a day race, but it will certainly bring attention to women's cycling since all ( Read more... )

knee0pm: Ha ha undoubtedly none of you have any idea who I'm talking about, but in the third Monkey Island game this skull shows up and its utterly hilarious. He keeps popping up throughout that game and in the next and he's just shown up in the third chapter of Tales of Monkey Island. Aaaah beautiful ( Read more... )

10:39pm: Yes, indeed! I managed to find a copy of The Tales of Monkey Island at EB Games in North Sydney today for $9.95! Scoooore! I've just started playing and I've all ready managed to solve a few puzzles! All without having to use the hints screen, double scooore ( Read more... )

10:26pm: Except, I've gone and forgotten what it was, oh well.

In other news there's a doco on right now and the police officer in it is not holding the steering wheel correctly as he drives. I'm shocked, shocked I tell you. Although one time I swear I saw a cop talking on his mobile while driving so yeah ( Read more... )

10:29pm: In Le Tour that is. They're in the mountains and, of course this means the roads are very curvy indeed. Not quite as fun as roundabouts, but still pretty cool ( Read more... )

11:04pm: Yes! An Australian is in the yellow jersey at Le Tour! It's not Cadel Evans either (he's a mountain man), but a new sprinter on our new Aussie team! He won the stage two days ago and the team won the Team Time Trial yesterday so as a result he gets to wear the jersey! How exciting! Also makes us look good after the schmoozle on day one ( Read more... )

11:46pm: With regards to the internet here at my parents' house, I came over to go to the gym, but planned to go back to the apartment if it still wasn't working, which it wasn't. I called up Telstra again, because it's been like 5 days now and that's not cool. Basically they couldn't tell me anything, so ( Read more... )

10:14pm: Which is a damn shame because I feel better now and could probably watch it now. Shame. But on Friday the Olympics comes and that's very exciting indeed, although having it on Greenwich Meantime is a pain in the ass, everything is on in the middle of the night! How am I supposed to watch it? Fortunately Dad thinks he's able to set up the ( Read more... )
