After my lack of sleep last night, my parents went out and bought a new fan, that will hopefully be less noisy than the old one. And then spent about five hours installing it - old wiring, the power not getting all the way through to the fan, fuses blowing. I won't ask another thing from them for the next three months or so, what with the palaver that a new fan brought...
But at least they were thinking of my best interests :)
Apart from that comedy drama, I watched the cricket today - and also salivated over the website of the Best Burgers In The World LOL - yum, and Burger Wisconsin even got a mention in that newspaper of newspapers, the Guardian, what with gourmet burgers in London. Very yum. And even some easy going laid back music on the site as well. With a choice of tracks mmm. Very Salmonella Dub, err, if I have the band name right...
When I saw the Hataitai address in the store listing, I just wanted to reach through the screen and recapture the best of 2001 and 2002. My at home life was pretty crap, computer and not much else, but when I went out of the house, I had fun fun fun. I heart Wellington LOL, damned homesickness...
When last I looked for Burger Wisconsin on the web, there wasn't anything apart from a passing reference on a travel blog - that must have been about a year ago now though. God, I miss Wellington, but I'm not so sure I could just slot in there again...
Oh, and found this website while lazily trailing through the BBC quirky stories. Some organisation is having an international vote for the current Seven Wonders Of The World, since the list hasn't been updated in 2000 years, and six of the previous holders have been destroyed. Very ambitious idea, and the global vote will take place all this year, with the 'winners' being announced New Year's Day next year...
I hope they get recognised more than just the usual vote a moron TV shows or websites, it's a pretty fantastic idea. For my money, the current top seven would be the Easter Island statues, the Eiffel Tower, the Great Wall of China, Machu Picchu - that old Incan city on the side of a hill in Peru, the Pyramids, the Statue of Liberty and the Taj Mahal. Go have a look see at the site, they have a top 21 to choose from...
Later peeps
