Ah that explains the low word count to post ratio recently

Welcome back to normalcy.

The longest federal election campaign since 1969.... as if we haven't had enough of politicians (and Prime Ministers) in our faces in recent years, now we have to face 2 months of them headlining the news programs and papers.

That's it, I'm off to hibernate. Wake me up when it's July 3rd...

What if we wake you up on July 2 so you can vote?

I spoke too soon. 'Net conked out on Friday night and only got up again this evening. But now we have no gas/hot water and won't be back up until tomorrow! All this on top of an incredibly crappy day at work... oh yeah...

Take a moment to feel for the Americans who's presidential selection goes for a year and a half. Or other countries in the world who's only elections are military coups.

Hmmm maybe use this to mention to the missus that the Feng Shui might be out of whack in the house. Could be a good time to pitch for that larger Transformer room again!

Maybe spoilers for the new Netflix Voltron cartoon

In the trailers, the team has a new character in the black outfit, not Sven, who's clearly older than the others and seemingly "in charge". Was jokingly thinking "hope nothing happens to him" but it got be thinking.

Never quite understood as a kid why Keith and Lance wore different coloured uniforms to their Lions. In the original anime was Sven the leader and Black Lion pilot until he died was badly injured at which point the other two rotated? I could imagine that might happen in the new show and wonder if that would actually be accurate to the original story?

Nope, Keith was always the team leader. Been ages since I've seen the show but in the first episode where they pilot the lions (think it was third episode in to the series...?) Keith actually flies the green lion due the black lions key being missing, plus Pidge was separated from the team at that point, but right from the outset Lance flies the red lion wearing the blue uniform and Sven flies the blue lion in the black uniform. There's no apparent reason why that was the case, if those two had of been the other way around then Keith/Sven would of been the only lion/colour clash but giving Lance the red lion just made it that extra bit confusing. There was at least one later episode where Lance ("correctly") flies the blue lion.

Plus, when Sven is (largely) written out of the show, the Princess takes over the blue lion wearing a pink uniform. And unless I'm colour blind, Hunk's uniform always looked more orange than yellow. Then much later when W.E.P. commissioned Toei to make more Voltron episodes after they'd run out of GoLion episodes to dub, for some reason in those episodes the green lion/Pidge's uniform is coloured in a shade of green that's so dark it almost looks black.

Ugh.

What's the go with Kmart. They plonked the checkout / pay station right in the center of the store ... as well as at the front.

My local only has it in the middle. I dont like it at all. I just wanna grab my stuff and head out. It being in the middle means I have to go further to buy things.

Only thing it is good for is my step count.
