Rain, rain, rain

It's bee raining nonstop for the last 3 days here in Bundaberg where I live. Which is great, considering that it barely ever rains here, and Australia is still in the middle of a drought. Nothing beats sitting outside watching the rain fall and reading a book, or sleeping in, in a nice warm bed and listening to the rain. Yeah... I love it.

10 Things I Want To Do Before I Die

So I've been pretty bored lately, not feeling much motivation to do anything. It seems to me that despite all my best efforts to the contrary, my life is going nowhere. Now, upon further reflection I realised that life isn't all that bad, and hey being bored is a good thing. After all, it means you're not in any danger of starving to death/being killed/being abused etc etc.

Life is short, and atm I seem to have way too much times on my hands. So I shall henceforth be devoting all my spare time towards achieving 1 or all of this goals. Without any further ado, the

10 Things I Want To Do Before I Die

1. Become a famous (and inspirational) rock star
2. Travel the world
3. Climb Mt Everest
4. Become a multi-billionare
5. Donate lots of money to charity and really make a difference to people's lives in the third world
6. Stop a war
7. Write a best-selling novel
8. Have kids (and grandkids)
9. Go on a spaceflight
10. Invent a cure for a lethal disease

I figure if I can achieve even one of these goals, it will have given my life meaning. To achieve them all would be even greater.

So what 10 things do you want to do before you die?

Petrol price set to rise again.

Great. Just great. The price of oil has just reached $100 USD a barrel. Here in Australia, they reckon that the average price of petrol will soon reach $1.50 AUD. It just keeps going up and up doesn't it? And of course, with the rise in petrol prices so too does the cost of everything else rise >.< I think it's about time for me to start growing my own food.

The Hardest Game Ever

Ok so I stumbled across this video on the net earlier

"The Hardest Game Ever"
http://www.collegehumor.com/video:1795091/

It's basically a mario style game which pretty much exploits you and kills you off in oh so many infuriating and unexpected ways. Just when you're think you're all clear something stupid happens like the ground giving way under you .

You can download the game itself from this webpage:
http://www.geocities.jp/z_gundam_tanosii/home/Main.html
The page is all in japanese, the second link on the page should be the download link. It links to a file called syobon-action.zip.

I dunno if I'd call it THE hardest game ever, and once you know where all the traps are it's not that hard to get through, but it's definately difficult.
