Touchy.

I owned a guy at the 3H’s hotel last night.

I gently bumped in to some late 30s guy’s shoulder with the back of my leg when I slid between two chairs in the outdoor dining area.

He turned around and said in a surly tone, “you right, mate?”

I was a bit put off, since it was just one of those general brushes that no one really pays any attention to. I inquired, “sorry?”

“You hit me with your arse,” he responded, trying to sound tough in front of his girlfriend/wife, his mate and his mate’s girlfriend/wife.

Now, I was already put off by his tone, given the circumstance. Usually I’d get even more put off if someone started being a little menacing like this guy was. Somehow, though, I reflexively retorted by looking him in the eye and asking, “did you like it?”

The man’s face blushed nearly instantly until it was purple as he jerked his head back around to face his table. Mid-swing he only managed to blurt out an awkward “…NO!”

He didn’t trouble me for the rest of the night.

It still feels good.

Degree Confluence Project:

Global Positioning System mapping and photography merge to produce one of the most impressive projects on the web. The stated goal is to visit and get reports from “each of the latitude and longitude integer degree intersections in the world”. Pictures and stories from each visit (or attempted visit, if it was discovered to be unreachable) are then posted to the site, offering an amazing snapshot of our beautiful planet.

A total of 160 countries have been visited, including 69 of the 82 confluence points in NSW, with four incomplete attempts. There are still 400 points in Australia up for grabs, so get a GPS unit, a camera and a car and get busy.

Oh dear.

Finally, some controversy:
Do the Schiavo!
Terri again.
Do the Lynndie!

Update:
Arnie is governor of California, Jesse Ventura was governor of ?Minnesota, Carl Weathers is apparently soon to be governor of Louisiana and now Sonny Landham (Billy from Predator [former 70s porn star]) is running for governor of Kentucky.

THE CAST OF PREDATOR IS RUNNING THE USA.

Not that that’s a bad thing. Man. It’s fucking hot, that’s what it is.

OMFG.

My dad just came out of his bedroom (mum and dad sleep in separate rooms because “he snores too much”) naked and raged me for not turning off the air conditioning, then stumbled around in the dark trying to work out how to turn it off.

I’m scarred.

For life.

I don’t know what scares me more, having him running around in the dark raging me whilst naked, or finding out he’s been sleeping naked in his bed all these years…

On to brighter things, I finally bothered getting the new series of Smallville after Ross told me it had started again. So far it’s awesome. Lois Lane (Erica Durance/Parker) is a cool character and is cute too. So is Lana’s new squeeze. Yes, cool and cute. Goodo.

I hope Lou goes well in her job interview tomorrow. I’ll find out in about 12 hours. Whee!

Polls!

Does anyone else support my notion of making Howard and Latham have a SimCity 4 playoff to decide who becomes PM?

Gotta go to ivLAN tomorrow. Oh the drama.

Hey Eri, stop stalking me! ha!
