    Calling all AUSSIES out there!

    So we're going to see this guy on the next episode of Airport, when they become suspicious that he's planning on staying a year with little funds and no work VISA?

    Or go to a doctor and ask him which option is better. If he has to pull it, he might at leat give you some local anaesthetic, and instructions on how to care for the gaping hole in your toe.

    What did you want to be as a kid?

    Wanted to be an electrical engineer, became a computer systems engineer. Pretty similar, CSE wasn't around when I was a kid, but taught exactly what I was interested in; electrical circuits, microchips, and programming. I was fascinated by Transformers (the toys), in fact, all robots when I...

    Reccomended me some books.

    Check out the works of Peter F. Hamilton. It always struck me as being very realistic. When it comes to sci-fi, I far prefer watching movies, and find sci-fi books far more boring than fantasy books, but I've read Hamilton's 'A Night's Dawn' trilogy several times, and still love it.

    Is it just me, or is the Transformers plot just plain retarded?

    First of all, Papa Smurf didn't create Smurfette. Gargamel did. She was sent in as Gargamel's evil spy with the intention of destroying the Smurf village, but the overwhelming goodness of the Smurf way of life transformed her. And as for the whole gang-bang scenario, it just couldn't happen...

    What are some things you splurge on that others may gawk at?

    Transformers toys. Collecting old G1 toys I always wanted but my parents never bought, all the characters from the 2007 movie, and collecting the Masterpiece line as well. Spent maybe $2000+ on them since the movie came out and renewed my enthusiasm for my old toy collection.

    Is it just me, or is the Transformers plot just plain retarded?

    Actually, it was an Australian accent. They hired an Aussie who couldn't speak in any voice other than her own. I've seen plenty of English actors do US accents, and US actors do English accents, but the first time she opened her mouth, I cringed, and thought, in no particular order: -Why...

    What is the next thing you will be ordering online?

    This. I just got my MP-04 masterpiece Optimus Prime with Trailer yesterday, and feel like giving him a black blaster. I'm ordering it as soon as they can get me a shipping cost.

    Listening to the new Nightwish CD

    Definitely gets a like from me. I can get my Tarja fix by listening to her new album (My Winter Storm) anyway. Anette gives NW a nice, fresh sound, I think.

    Why is there a sexual connotation when referring to some electrical connections?

    And lets not get started on gender-benders. We had one kid in high school, working in the theatre, that got it mixed up a little. In a half-crowded theatre, there he is, running up an aisle, yelling "HEY GUYS! I NEED A MALE SEX CHANGE!"

    Biggest raise

    Got a 25% raise when I switched jobs two years out of uni. Of course, that wasn't hard to do, considering I was being paid well below the minimum graduates of my year were expecting.
