Those crazy Japanese architects...

Designing houses like this must drive you crazy!

From the "I can't believe someone made that" files...

I saw this earlier today on the Zazz site - one of those web sites where you get an option to buy a miscellaneous overstocked item each day, like 1-day or Catch Of the Day. I presume similar sites exist for the USA.

I don't know how many they had to sell, but as of 9:41pm AEST, they're all sold out. Yes, that's right, someone bought it. Possibly a lot of someones, depending on how many boxes they picked up...

This is not a problem we have in Brisbane...

No, seriously. It doesn't snow here, folks... our average mid-winter minimum temperature is 7.4ºC (45ºF). Our highest mid-winter minimum temperature is 19.5ºC (67ºF). Dayum. That's warm... I wonder what year that was in?

right now, at 8:05pm AEST, it's 25.7ºC, with an apparent temperature of 29.5ºC (that's 85.1ºF for our north-american friends), and 82% relative humidity. Apparently it was forecast to hit 37ºC today, but we only made it up to 32. Surprisingly, no thunderstorms around at the moment. We had one at about 3am this morning - when I really would have preferred to be sleeping, but it was a loud one.

Why you should never talk to the police...

'nuff said.

Although I'd be interested in hearing what any other people who happen to be police officers (or are married to people who work for the police, hint hint) have to say...

You want me to wait HOW long?

Ok, so as I've stated on here before, I play Warcrack (er, World of Warcraft).

For those of you who don't follow these things, a new add-on pack was just released for Warcrack - the second addon in about four years, in fact. The Wrath of the Lich King. Whoever that is (I don't really get right into the story, unlike some).

So, anyway, last weekend I logged on, played for a few hours, logged off, nothing unusual.

This weekend, I go to log on. Oh, no, it says, you need to wait, as the server is full. You're position 519 in the queue, and that'll take about 30-odd minutes on average - obviously, they get about a thousand people an hour logging on/off when the servers are full.

No biggie, says I, I'll log onto the other server I have characters on.

"You are position 1,479 in the queue..."

I didn't bother waiting to see how long that was going to take. :D

I think I'll go play Armed Assault instead, and log on to Warcrack later, when it's about 3am in the US, and all the addicts have gone to sleep. Well, some of them, anyway!
