Does anyone else think that the internet is sucking our will to live?
I mean, at the moment, I come to work and spend a lot of time just surfing the net. I am less interested in what is happening around me than I am at reading the latest NBA news, finding out from IMDB which celebrities have their birthday today, what the latest news is on stuff.
The internet is like the ultimate in user chooses viewing. What do you want to look at or read about? You can do that. Why do something yourself when you can read about or watch other people doing it? Are we becoming watchers rather than doers?

Hey Wellington folks,
Anyone got a spare ticket to the Kings of Leon gig on Friday night? I'm dead keen to go. And yes, I am checking Trade Me, but they all seem to be going for exorbitent prices (over $200).
Cheers,
Jon

Wellington City Council want to get rid of the green recycling bins and replace them with bags you have to pay for. This will likely result in less recycling occuring, as people will just throw stuff in the rubbish rather than recycle it.
To voice your disapproval of getting rid of the green recycling bins, sign up to this petition:

Last night I watched WWE’s No Way Out.
I really liked it.
( The Action - Spoilers )
Trying to put my finger on why I liked it is a bit tough. I think it was the fact that they took convention, what you thought was going to happen, and turned it on its head. They had a plan for the whole night, the two brands interacting, not just each brand doing its own thing.

... are the Instant Kiwi (1) ads with the crazy conscience guy.
I think you can see it at:
youtube.com/?v=BwXpPDZGFx0
(I can't access YouTube at work).
So you've got this wavey haired sales assistant, and he's in the barbers, and his crazy (mexican sounding) conscience (who is only visible to curly haired sales assistant) telling him "you should get a perm", "but it's not the 80's any more", "get a perm", "I'll look like an idiot", "get a perm". Cut to him trying to sell a TV to an asian couple with his new perm, and the asian man replying (in a foreign language, subtitled) "this lady really knows what she's talking about".
The other ad (same guy, same conscience) is him sitting around the staff room, and there's one biscuit left on the plate in the middle of the table, and his conscience is trying to talk him into eating it. It's not as funny, but I'm really enjoying them.
(1) For Non NZ-ers, Instant Kiwi's are a little scratchy ticket that cost about $1 or $2 and offer the chance to win up to $10,000. You have to match three symbols and you win that prize. The most I've ever won on one is $10.

Hey folks,
Here's a list of the stuff I'm trying to source for my film project. Anyone got any of this, or know good ideas about where I could get it:
Black eye patch
Devils horns
Lawyers wig
Silver hair spray (NOW SORTED)
Security guards uniform
A Lawyers gown or a full on devils costume or a red suit that would fit a 6'4" guy.
A clipboard
Any help appreciated!

1. Reply to this post and I'll assign you a letter.
2. List 5 songs you like that start with that letter
3. Post them to your journal with these instructions
![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) panda_pitt gave me 'B'
Heck, I can list at least 10 songs that I really like that start with a B. I'll give you my first five, and then a bonus 5 (because I can)
1) Brick by Ben Folds Five
2) Bizarre Love Triangle by New Order (also the Frente version is really cool)
3) Black by Pearl Jam
4) Blurry by Puddle of Mudd
5) Breaking the Habit by Linkin Park
The bonus 5 which I also love, but maybe not as much as those top 5, are:
Better off alone by Alice Dee Jay
Bring me to life by Evanescence
Burn by The Cure
Block Rockin' Beats by the Chemical Brothers
Bitter by Shihad

Probably only relevant to people who have played the game, or played Battletech. Or someone with a strategic mind who might be able to puzzle out the problems with my strategy.
So, I’ve been playing Mw4 recently, and there are a few missions which are consistently really tough. It’s worth noting I’m playing on Veteran at the moment...
Last night I was playing the “Patrol in Force” mission. It’s frigging hard. Your lance of 4 mechs has to move through the area, going to five nav points (Alpha to Epsilon) and destroying the defences there. Pretty standard stuff – but the quality of the opposition makes this really tough.
( Read more... )
So, I started playing this scenario about 8pm last night. It takes about 30 minutes to play I think. I finally passed it just before 4am. Man it was pissing me off.
So, my new computer has Windows Vista.
I tried to install Dawn of War, one of my favourite computer games and one I haven't been able to play in ages.
Installs fine, runs through the game intro (but won't let you skip through it), will let you load your profile in the main menu and select the skirmish you want. Takes the time to load it, and then crashes out, giving a windows error. Oh, and it tries to send an error report, but the error reporting doesn't seem to want to work (which sucks, as normally the error report will direct you to a page which will tell you waht's wrong).
I'm wondering if it's a problem with my computer, or if the game just won't run on Vista. I've seen some web page which seems to indicate that the game is "unknown" whether it runs on Vista or not.
