Domain

Yep, I went out on a limb on Saturday and bought a domain. Why? Because I can. On advice from a fellow G33K, I went to www.godaddy.com and checked out some domain names. I ended up buying www.sulk.cc for USD 19.99 and got free hosting (thanks Rob!).

So, what am I doing with this space? Not too much, just wanted to host my photos etc. I got a blog for general banter, so I figured that would do me.

It was a nightmare to set up though. The godaddy ~~webshite~~ website was horrific to navigate through, and for someone like me that has a fair bit of computer skills, it was tough going. Anyone new to the web would have been lost from square one and ended up buying addons and packages and shit. Everywhere you click there was something else in the way. All the "free" things that are included in buying a domain were kept well hidden. I wouldn't really recommend it to anyone, but I guess many other "buy online" domain sales would be much the same. ˜

Again, big thanks to Rob who helped a sister out in setting up databases etc. (I know nothing about MySQL at all!) and for hooking me up. You're a star! CC on Friday nite yeah?

So, here it is... www.sulk.cc - hope you like it!

Hog's Breath Cafe

Trav took me to dinner last night to the Hog's Breath Cafe in Joondalup. The place was really something different! There's a saloon and ye olde western swinging doors, car parts, USA number plates and the food was amazing! They have steaks galore, but I've been a little off beef recently so I stuck with the Hog's Platter (with calamari, beef kebab, chicken strips and spring rolls) and grabbed a cheeseburger with the lot for mains. That was a bad idea, I got two bites into it and thought I was going to die!

Here's the aftermath - yep, today's BREAKFAST!!!

The one thing that did bother me was the bright orange power lead to an old car with the front headlight on. Really discreet guys! LMAO! I recommend you head there one day and grab yourself a steak or a burger! (cos you can't make friends with salad).

AHG Tuning Day

There was a Tuning Day at the AHG track at Perth Airport today so I mosey-ed on down to check out the boys and girls at play. When I got arrived, there was still about half an hour of track time so I still got to see a fair bit. Took some photos on the new camera and caught up with some fellow riders. I really need to look at booking myself (and Trav) into one of these on day...

Some photos...

Photochopping

I must have gone mental. I couldn't help myself. I've been dreaming of this suit for ages... so I did a virtual changeroom session. Damn, that's looks a bit of alright. If I ever buy one, I'll make sure the "real" photo gets on here. Till then... *sigh*

At least I have the boots and the helmet already...

OMGWTFBBQ?!?!?!

Yeah, mum and dad bought a new BBQ on Thursday. A Beef Eater one. That's kinda weird because the only meat that I'm "off" at the moment is beef. For some reason, the meat that I had to have every weekend is now the one I can't stomach any more. Still love my lamb and my pork (teehee!) but can't eat beef. Anyway... here it is!

PS: Yeah Julz, you can come round for a BBQ too if you REALLY HAVE TO...!

1987

Tonight, I went back to 1987. I didn't really want to, but thought "what the hell". Morley Rollerdrome is a scary place. The way you would imagine a rollerskating rink back when you were 5 years old - you can re-live it here. The place even had 1987 prices - entry was $8 for 4 hours of skating and a mega strawberry slushie was $2.80 - simply fascinating!

I didn't actually feel like going out tonite, but I had some paperwork to drop off and you had to pay to get in. Meh, what's $8? And hey, I might even have a go. Heaps of people from Perth Riders were there, as it was Krusty's Birthday (oh yeah, I don't think I wished you a Happy Birthday!!!).
So I got some blades and pretended they were ice skates... they're not really the same thing, but I did find it a hell of a lot easier skating backwards than forwards just from the foot movements, but stopping is a lot harder.

Things were going well till some dude was going waaaay too fast and took me out, what a magnificent fall, it was almost scripted as I lay on the ground. There will be a bruise on my hip for sure, but GOD DAMN that was a wicked stack! Frank can prove it. He was there.

I ripped into the slushie machine about half-time and started the trend... slushies all round! I was the only spastic with a strawberry one though, grape was by far the big winner.

After a few competitions such as toboganning and dodgeball (which I won out of the PR group), it was back to doing a few laps and simmering down. It was really hot in the rollerdrome for some reason, must have been all that legionnaires in the air-conditioning! Check the photos for the proof!

And of course, can't have an adventure without the regulation clown: Frank got his bike gear on (minus gloves) and did a lap of the rink.

After that EVERYONE got their cameras out and just started going mental. I bet there's a few photos of me that aren't that purdy (ech!).

Let's get to those photos aye?

Kids all over the place
