Happy "State of Origin" Day!

1).  Game One in this year's State of Origin series is being played in Brisbane tonight. Queensland v. New South Wales. It's LIVE on channel 9 into Melbourne which somewhat of a major breakthrough for Rugby League in this State. 

( Rugby League... Blah Blah... State of Origin... Blah Blah... )

 
2).  XP is still going great at work. Everything is so much faster now and I LOVE having the newer version of Outlook. I use GMAIL exclusively at home so I'd had no experience with Outlook 2003 at all. It's really nice.


3).  XP BONUS: For Christmas Sam and Nick gave me a Winnie the Pooh USB mouse. I could never use it at work because it was USB and it didn't work on NT. It's more then likely I could have found a driver for it but anyway. Today I remembered to take it into work and now I have a Winnie the Pooh Optical Mouse working perfectly. the size is going to take a bit to get used to. I think it's designed for children. Wonder why? Love it none the less and it's got a really cool LED blue glow.


4). I've only got another day and a half of work this week. I'm off to Sydney this weekend for the Manly v Storm game at Brookevale Oval.

Wednesday Weird One

This little challenge arrived to me via email this morning. I've seen it before but it still cracks me up.

Try this:

1). Whilst sitting down, lift your right foot up off the ground and make clockwise circles.

2). Now, at the same as making clockwise circles with your right foot, draw a figure "6" in the air with your right hand.

YOUR RIGHT FOOT WILL CHANGE DIRECTION!!!

Apparently there is nothing  you can do about it either. I'm not convinced. If you can pat your head and rub your tummy at the same time why not this? 

*is off to practise some more*

Half Time in Origin 1

Grrr Argh!

From a Queensland supporter's point of view, the first half has been frustrating as all hell to watch.

Here's hoping for a better 40 minutes after the break for the Maroons. 

Full Time in Origin 1

WOW.

Much. Better. Half.

( Queensland really turned it around... )
