Bored bored bored.

I'm waiting for Ayano to pick me up so we can go and celebrate Josh's birthday.

While doing said waiting, I've been messing around with Wordle (Link: http://www.wordle.net/create). It's nifty.

Live long and prosper. <3

I want a wand- this wand.

Magic Wand - TV Remote [via ThinkGeek]


"You know you have always wanted to be a wizard. But not one of those swish and flick wizards from the movies. You want to be the Dungeons & Dragons wizard - the party's controller. See that word there? CONTROLLER. It means you control the battlefield; you control everything! Sure, you're squishy and sometimes there's collateral damage when you let out a blast, but it's all in a day's work. As a wizard, you have a choice in implements, but everyone knows The Wand is the ultimate when you want to be an elite controller.

Our Wand may not make legions of kobold minions explode into flames, but it will learn up to 13 commands from your existing remote controls and map them to particular magical motions. Flick the wand from side to side to flip the channels, twist the wand to turn up the volume. A beam of light will shoot out the unicorn tail hair and magic will happen! The Wand can learn from any remotes in your house and once you master its 13 movements, you can mastermind a symphony of electronic enjoyment from the comfort of your couch. Then, and only then, are you an epic level controller.

Product Specifications

• Magic wand television remote for witches, wizards, and the occasional muggle
• 13 magical functions (the number one would expect in magic!)
• Learns from your existing remotes
• With a little practice, you can train yourself to do magic with household electronics
• Flip the channel with a flick of your wand, twist your wand to turn up the volume
• Compatible with almost all makes of TV, DVR, or really anything with a remote!
• Buttons are sooooooooooooooo out, wands are in. Trust us."

You know you actually need this.

Hobart Museum.

I went to the museum today. It was quite nice. I've been before, quite a few times actually, but I always love going again and again. It's pretty. <3



I also am pretty sure I have an obsession with clocks. I've always loved them, but it's getting worse. I saw a lovely one in Harvey Norman (?) the other day. I spent at least 15 minutes staring at it, until Shane finally managed to drag me away. I'd own it now, if it hadn't been $4500.



How nice is this globe? I want a nice globe (and a nice chess table, but that has nothing to do with the museum). I want it to be like the Inglorious Basterds globe though, with all the drinks inside.

That movie was awesome.



Well, I had a nice day.

Formatting.

Wow, the formatting on the last post really screwed up. =\

I'm on (was on) a boat.

I had a good day today.

I woke up in my cousins house, showered with her giant (and I mean
giant) shower head, and then hopped into the car, and we made our way
towards somewhere.

I don't remember where this somewhere was, but we went to a really,
really, really nice cafe called Eucalypt. It was really nice. Really.

After this we went on one of those oversized rubber adventure boats,
and went to Tasman island.

I saw the worlds cutest seals. They were ridiculously cute. *squee*

Then we got pies, and are heading home. It's almost 3pm, but there's
no phone service at the moment, so I might not post this 'till later.
It doesn't really matter though, 'cause I doubt anyone other than me
will read it. :D

I love Royksopp. <3

Man vs Machine.

I want I want I want.

Leviathan, by Scott Westerfeld.

I just finished reading Leviathan by Scott Westerfeld last night, and it was one of the best books I've read in a long time.

I actually picked it up at a bookstore a few weeks ago, but put it back down, after reading that it was about WWI. I generally don't enjoy books that are about modern history, prefering to read about the adventures of Aeneas, prince of Dardanos during the Trojan war. If you know me, you know all about Aeneas. ;)

But I was in another book store, and it's beautiful steampunky cover made me stop and have another look at it. It was only $20, I wanted a book and it looked nice. I know people say you should never judge a book by it's cover, but I did anyway, and went ahead and bought it.

To my surprise, I loved it.

"It is the first in a Young adult fiction trilogy set in an alternate history World War I, wherein the Central Powers (Clankers) are characterized by their use of mechanized war machines, while the Entente Powers (Darwinists) are characterized by their use of living creatures evolved specifically for war. The main character is the teenage son of the Archduke Franz Ferdinand, and his love interest a cross-dressing Scottish girl." - Wikipedia

About a chapter in, I stopped to text Shane about the new book I'd bought. My text was something along the lines of "History, science, steampunk and robots- this book is the greatest".

I continued to read. I would've loved to get it all done in a day, but as difficult as it was to put down- I had to. I'm meant to be on holiday, spending time with my grandparents.

I finally finished it last night, and immediately hopped online to find some information on the next book. Unfortunately, as Leviathan was only released in October (?) it'll be quite a wait.

Damnit.

Anyway, I followed Scott Westerfeld on Twitter (@scottwesterfeld) and am planning to buy some more of his other books sometime soon- I saw a box set for only $30.

I decided to blog about it, hopefully filling in some more time before the sequel is released. Because I want it. Now.
