Iron Man - Theatrical Trailer 2

Well, what an eventful weekend…

Apart from watching “Death-proof” - instant Tarrantino classic, and featuring a New Zealander stunt chick - Zoe Bell as herself to boot!! I must admit, he could make a 30 second advert for TV and it would be an instant classic!! The man’s a LEGEND~!

So, anyhooo - come Saturday evening, and my landlords invite me along with them and some friends to Timaru (near Upper Hutt), Speedway to take in the season finale - Stock Car races, and Demolition Derby. For $15 you get three plus hours of gritty, petrol fumed pure adrenaline! I even got to wander round the pitts during the races…TOP! The highlight of the evening was seeing the Super-Saloon Class racing, all these soop’d up slick cars, AND a Mini!!! The Mini held it’s own however - I even had a chat with the driver; since he’s the nephew of one of my landlord’s friends?!

Goood times!

First interactive Widget of the day! I will never need to navigate away from my blog to enjoy my Dilbert Mantra! This is sooooooo cool!

Gah?! I promised myself no more MMORPG’s?! (That’s Massive Multiplayer Online Role Playing Games) - Think Everquest, World of Warcraft, Star Wars Online…..and now??

I have downloaded a demo of “Lord of the Rings Online” - and I must admit it’s got a happy mix of features from both Everquest and World of Warcraft, and yet manages to stand apart from the crowd as well, with a few unique touches too. Earning XP isn’t as much of a drag as I had thought; and the quest structure is pretty immersive particulary through the introductory lvls.

I’ve been playing a Hunter, which is kinda like a Ranger from Everquest (my first MMORPG, I still have a lvl75 Wizard there lol). Anyhoo I’ve been playing this new “toon” (what we in the know call our characters) for about a day now, and I am currently lvl7 - if anyone out there also plays I’m on the European Server > Snowbourn and my “toon” is called ‘Sparticulas’ - regardless of game I always use the same names, I use the convention that whatever name I choose it has to contain ‘Spar’ it’s kinda my signature and it has got me recognised a few times in the past when I’ve crossed from one MMORPG to another…this comes from my love of David Eddings character - Sparhawk of course?!

meh it’s another distraction from the real world I guess.

Speaking of which…must dash - I got band rehersal in like an hour…
