Ch-ch-ch-changes
Yup, theme has changed. Provisionally.
There were always problems with the other one. People often told me it was difficult to read. I knew it. I was just waiting to find something to change it to.
Giving this one a try.
Not sure yet… it’s readable, that’s for sure. And there’s no stupid thing down the bottom.
But, I dunno. Seems almost too simple.
I haven’t quite decided…
What do you think?
Am I a traitor?
So.
The French beat us. 20-18… and NZ is out of the Rugby World Cup. In the Quarter Finals. I don’t think many people thought that would happen.
And to think I got up at 8am to watch it… dragging Shannon with me. Who only realised quite near the end that it wasn’t actually the final of the world cup - and then couldn’t comprehend why we’d gotten up so early to watch it.
I was ready for us to win. Had a load of witty remarks about how disgusted the French must be with the presence of the NZ Rugby ball, or countless posters of Dan Carter all around Paris.
But no. We’re out.
A repeat of 1999, we won’t hear the end of it for a while. As one (foreign) workmate said on Friday, he’d hate for New Zealand to lose because then the whole country would go into mourning for months.
He’s not too far wrong.
I realised only once I got home from the supermarket that my choice of lunch wasn’t overly patriotic - a loaf of French bâtard bread, and a roll of camembert.
Ah well.
Complete Clapton
I’m not the only one that worships Clapton. IG Blog has a post up talking about Clapton’s forthcoming release, Complete Clapton, which is, as you guessed, basically a “best of.” From what I understand though, it’s not so much a greatest hits, rather it’s a collection of some of his best work spanning his entire career, including songs which were and weren’t hits.
A true representation of who, exactly, Clapton is.
To go with it, he’s releasing his long awaited autobiography, entitled, also Complete Clapton (Or, Eric Clapton, the Autobiography depending on where you look.) As IG nicely enough shared with everyone, the Times Online has an excerpt from the book, covering his affair Patti Boyd and his slip in Heroin abuse. He’s led, without a doubt, an amazing life.
There’s even an official trailer up:
That trailer is bloody well put together.
I’m excited about it.
It’s all being released on October 9 (in the UK.)
I can’t wait.
I only had three beers, honest!
Can I smell paint?
Nah, must be imagining it.
*Time passes*
Wow I’ve got a headache. And I’m still smelling that paint….
*More time passes*
Hrmm. I probably just need a drink of water.
I lift my feet from their resting place on the coffee table and- ah shit. I’ve knocked Jordan’s model glue over.
It’s all come out in a nice pool on the table. Oh, and on some keys. And around some bottles.
*Prod*
Yup, it’s glue all right.
Oops, fast drying super strong model glue.
*Washes hands*
Better move those keys, clean them up with something. And move the bottles. And the other crap before it gets permanently attached to the table.
Damn, more glue on my hands.
*Washes hands* Hrmm, fingers… sticking… getting tougher… shit, why is the water cold?
*Turns water up, adds way more soap*
I have dried glue all over my hands. But, luckily, they’re not glued together.
Hrmm. How should I clean up the pool?
Paper towels of course! Nope, none of those. Maybe some toilet paper. Holy crap we’re out (I’ll spare you from the rant about how annoying this is).
So. I can wipe it up with a burger box, a paper bag, or a tea towel.
None seem like a brilliant idea.
I might just let it dry.
The house smells 
Stella Artois: Eternally Doomed?
Ok, so a lot of people are coming to my site in their quest to save Stella Artois from the depths of the ocean.
A few, not finding the answer to stopping the setting sun, are loading Google’s cached page, hoping to see it there.
It’s somewhere here alright, you just have to look a bit harder.
Try in the comments on one of the posts.
If you still can’t find it - never fear.
Jack over at the Stella Artois blog is doing a series of posts giving you the necessary hints to succeed in all the challenges - without giving too much away, of course.
Looks as though tomorrow is the final day, and the official hint for how to prevent the beer from being lost in the ocean will be revealed.
So if you can’t figure it out, or find the answer here, you only have to wait a couple of hours 
Any of you who’ve been having trouble with the other challenges (I know you have) can also head over there to get a little prod in the right direction.
Top work Jack!
