F.U.B.A.R.

Everything  is F.U.B.A.R. today.

I was going to go down to Sydney to look at an art exhibition. To do this would mean driving my EazyRide early morning to Cardiff Station, and then catching a Train down to central.

First set of problems - the bike wasn't fully charged, and I couldn't find my backpack or the keys to the bike. The backpack turned up eventually, but I had to wait until 10:40am when Kevin woke up and he found where he'd left it (he used to bike to do some shopping Monday).

OK, I left and was in a hurry. Drove over the footbridge and up a hill in Barnsley and then the grip on the throttle came off! I lost control and the front wheel went sideways and the scooter fell on top of me! I have a grazed wrist and the muscle on my right leg is badly bruised where the kickstand dug in. My left shoulder is aching too. After about a minute of shock I managed to push the bike back up and drive home. The steering was bent slightly (Kevin fixed it after I got back) but the left pedal is bent up and back so I can't pedal or reverse it far - there's no way I could continue on to the Station.

When I got back home I discovered that the latch on the connecting door between kitchen and lounge had broken and the door was stuck! After removing the pins from the hinges and with the help of a Jimmy bar Kevin and I were able to get it out. If I can remove the handle and replace it, we can probably put the door back on.

Sigh, what next? Everything feels like it's fucked up beyond all recognition. What if that accident had happened in traffic?! I think I'll be staying home today (my right leg feels very wooden).

Kevin walks in and says "Microsoft have done something good!" And he pointed my browser to Microsoft Research WorldWide Telescope, which Kevin described as "Google Earth in Reverse". I went to the "experience it" page and there was a flash movie entitled Kids React to WWT with the following image:

The first time this loaded and I ran it nothing happened, just the static picture - 'that good?' I thought. In fact I thought of a multitude of captions for this image:

Kids react to...
                      ...the new budget;
                      ...the American elections;
                      ...the current season of Big Brother; and
                      ...et cetera.

Haven't tried the program yet. I've downloaded the 20 mb file (you need Nett Framework 2.0 to run it) but haven't installed it yet.

Oooooh, this program is sexy and seductive. Check out the screenshot below:

I could burn up a lot bandwidth using this program.

I'm going out to pub in Holmesville with Kevin for dinner at the bistro. Apparently they have a bus that picks you up and drops you back home.

Feeel so so tired.

Oh, don't forget [livejournal.com profile] kath_ballantyne -  NEW HOUSE TONIGHT.

OK, two things connected to Trek:

What next (expects a barrage of weird links).

Fuck fuck fuck fuck.

Kevin got the days wrong. We got all dressed up and ready to go and when he phoned, was told that the bus service was between Thursday to Sunday. This being Wednesday here, we were fucked.

Can I go to sleep now?

 

 

Actually, I'm going to try taking a hot bath. My left shoulder is still hurting.
