Boys Will Be Boys

Well pimp my ride!!!!

I love a hotted-up car as much as any guy loves doing one up, and could only smile and nod when I saw these images. This guy must love his tipper and have money to burn. Imagine the smile on his face when it was done!


And in case you're wondering about my previous post, moving everything over to MT, well I've decided to cross-post, two different looks for the same blog. I'm a typical Libra and can't make up my mind one way or the other.

Blogger Play

I logged in to my Blogger Dashboard tonight and discovered a fantastic feature that the people from Blogger have developed, called Blogger Play. It shows you a never-ending stream of images that were just uploaded to public Blogger blogs. You can click the image to be taken directly to the blog post it was uploaded to, or click “show info” to see an overlay with the post title, a snippet of the body, and some profile information about the blogger who uploaded it.

I watched, fascinated, for 30 to 40 minutes and the images just kept rolling by.

Moved Blogger Site to Movable Type

Last week I moved everything from this site to a new Movable Type install that I've been playing with. One of the plugins was Import Blogger, so just to see if it worked, that's exactly what I did. Now I'm not sure which blog I want to keep updated, the new-look Toni's Alternate World on MT, or the current site here on Blogger.

So just in case you come back here and there's nothing new, maybe you should try the new site.

Grand Final Winners But Alex Didn't Play

The Junee Under 12s won the Junior Rugby League grand final on Saturday but Alex had his appendix out on Thursday so he couldn't play. The boys won 26-10 against Temora at Cootamundra and although I offered to drive Alex over to watch, he wasn't up to it. Both Emily and Lauren and their families came over on Saturday afternoon to see how the patient was doing. Lauren has her Lerner's Permit and has been coming over quite often to log some hours. She has to get 50 hours up before she can go for her driver's licence, and it's a half-hour drive from Wagga. It will take a long time, but she's not the most confident driver so she's not worried about that.

Alex has a few days off school and this morning I went to work for an hour and caught up on a couple of things. I didn't go to work Thursday or Friday, but will have to go tomorrow. I went to the library today and borrowed some DVDs and then to the video shop and hired a couple more, so there's plenty here to keep Alex going while I'm at work. I think he'll be right to go back to school on Thursday.

His operation was a bit of a muck around. Initially doctors didn't think it was his appendix that was causing the stomach pain, but in the end they took it out and it turned out to be swollen. Everything else is okay and we were home within 24 hours of him having them out. Pretty quick.

We watched an excellent movie today called The World's Fastest Indian with Anthony Hopkins. It was a true story about Burt Munro, who set a land speed record in 1967 on an old 1920 Indian motorcycle that still stands today. It was a really heart-warming movie and both Alex and I shed a tear or two. After that we watched two movies called Tales from the Neverending Story. After that Alex watched Godzilla, but by then I was all movied out, and needed to do something. Not a bad way to spend a day home from work though.
