http://www.hello.com/ These little chargers are everywhere, just like the other little chargers I previously posted about.

Tomorrow I’ve planned a bit of an adventure for myself. I’m hoping to make it to St Petersburg because there is a Dali art gallery there. That should be pretty cool. I’ve been informed that on the way I’ll be going through real southern hick country, which should be even *more* cool. It’s supposed to be a 4 hour drive there so I plan to leave around 8 in the morning. I have to check if my new Multiaccess card has come in as well. It’s bloody inconvenient not being able to withdraw money out of my account you know, especially when I’ve just been paid. ...

I see that the new Motorola Razor V3 (or for more info look here) is coming out very very soon and god dammit, I’m getting one. I’ve been reading a few forums and lots of people are complaining that it’s too expensive and they’re not going to buy it and Motorola made a bad business decision in pricing it the way they have. Note to those people who are complaining: YOU DON’T HAVE TO BUY IT! If you can’t or don’t want to afford it then don’t get it! I think it’s quite obvious which market segment Motorola is targeting this phone at, and whatever certain people would like to say about would be purchasers of this phone brings a big care factor zero from me :-) ...

It’s one of those days where sticking a needle in your eye would almost be more entertaining. I obviously didn’t get enough sleep last night so I’m in a super-fantastic sarcastic mood. I’ve actually discovered a few things about myself and others while I’ve been over here: I really can’t relate to full-on nerds all that well. They really don’t like going out and partying, and they probably believe beer should only be consumed while participating in a LAN party. I only consider myself a *partial* nerd, and really, I only make nerdy comments “for a laugh”. Honest. ...

It really has been a seesaw while I’ve been over here. I’ve had some extremely high highs but some really low lows. If you’ve been reading this blog you’ll know what some of them are. Whenever something good seems to happen something bad will happen just to even things out. I actually found some people who liked going out - much unlike a lot of the other people I’ve met here. I was so glad to meet some other people my age who were like this. A lot of other people at work are either married or in a steady relationship or just plain uninterested in going out. So Friday night was a really good night because I went out with some of the party people from work. Today I was planning on going to Key Biscayne for a swim and to get some pics because I really liked it last time I was there. There is a spot where I could get a really good shot of Miami at night. Anyway, I left at lunchtime today and I had to go fill up with fuel. I got to the bowser and couldn’t find my credit card. It wasn’t in my wallet anywhere. Ok, maybe it’s somewhere in my car. Nope, not there either. I found this really curious because I don’t carry my credit card around without it being in my wallet. I spent the whole afternoon looking for it and I can’t find it anywhere. This is really bloody weird and also highly inconvenient. So, the seesaw strikes again - good Friday night but that’s been overshadowed by losing this card. Bloody hell… ...

and you don’t even need a pocket protector. These notes are taken from my observations here at work. Wear sporty sneakers. The whiter the better. Sneakers like Asics Gels will do fine. Wear a pair of denim jeans. The lighter blue the better. Basically whatever your mother bought you for last Christmas from the bargin bin will do. Wear a belt. This will not coordinate with your sneakers at all of course, so it can’t be white. This basically leaves you with brown or black. It can be pink if you want to suggest something. ...

Firstly, props go to Frosty at http://tvrfreak.blogspot.com for alerting me to this. This is way cool. I’ve always looooved the Koenigsegg and I non-stop dribble about it. It’s always been the desktop wallpaper of choice for my computer, and OMG, it’s coming to Oztralia. I wish I could go see it at the Australia International Motor Show. If you live in Sydney or are even planning to go there for this, please go and appreciate this awesome supercar for me. ...

At night these little chargers can be found jumping around just outside my apartment. This one is about the size of a 20c coin. I haven’t stepped on any… yet.

Oops. Credit where credit is due though, that’s normally a pretty hard thing to do.

Yay! I passed a Florida driving test today. All in all, both the written and practical exams only took 3 hours, which is supposed to be pretty good. I aced the written exam - that was pretty darn easy though. I got deducted 2 points in my practical exam however because I failed to indicate whilst reversing out of a car park. What the? Anyway, I receive my driver’s licence in about 3 weeks, which will make for quite a nice souvenir I think. ...
