I am a massive, massive fan of the BBC car show “Top Gear”. The trio of presenters work just so well together and make it absolutely hilarious to watch. Frosty (who at one time maintained his blog!) used to have screenings during work back in Adelaide, something I always looked forward to.

Richard Hammond, one of the presenters, was recently in a car crash while trying to beat the British land speed record. I’m not surprised at that, I’m surprised he actually got injured (and pretty badly too). Here’s hoping he recovers soon!

Story is here.

I’ve really, really been getting into the Spanish/hispanic thing lately. I’ve started listening to a lot of the music, local bands like Minimal and now branching out to some other groups like the superstar Mexican group Cafe Tacuba. My fav song from them so far: Eres. Even if you don’t know a lick of Spanish, it still sounds damn good.

Wow.

One of my best friends over here in the US, Omar, and his wife, Jessie (who is also a best friend), just informed me that they are six weeks pregnant. I was informed of this via a text message today that said:

(news)We’re pregnant, talk soon!”

It took me a little while to recover from falling off the floor. Awesome, awesome news. Congratulations again Omar and Jessie! I know you never read my blog but what the hell I just had to write this down anyway!

This adds to the list of friends over here and back in Oz who are pregnant or who have had kids recently:

Plugger and Kate
K9 and Debbie
Cepi and Arlene
Javi and Glenda
Todd and Heidi
Susan and Rick

Wow. Just wow. The ground is covered in babies.

I’m currently chillin’ in Miami airport waiting for my flight to Managua, so thought I’d upload a video of a recent night out at “the fifth”. It’s a very SoBe sort of club. Very expensive too (da, that’s SoBe as well). The music was a bit dodgy earlier on, but once the DJs decided to do away with the “hey, we’re a club, let’s play hip hop” cliche and actually play some decent dance music, then things got a little better.

Here is a pic of one of the dancers at the club:

Here is a short video clip from the club:
