Out to Lunch

This is probably my favourite screenshot from part two of Halfway Across. What a bunch of wet wimps, eh?

I couldn’t have thought this up myself!

Turncoat!!

Do you know what? I really don’t like Fernando Alonso either. Just when we finally get to say ‘adios’ to Mr Schumacher, his baby brother turns up in the form of Alonso. If anything - and I didn’t even think this was possible - he seems even worse. The tantruming bratty little brother. I mean, blackmailing his boss just cos he can’t handle being beaten by a rookie. It’s almost enough for me to start supporting Raikkonen again!

Warning: the rest of this entry is kinda crude!

Oh here’s a good one. This is really old, mind. I didn’t plagiarise this from Glenda Slagg, honest!

Quick sky notes. 04.00 Universal time, looking south.

A lovely view of Orion and Canis Major. Very bad seeing this morning, Sirius was flickering so badly it looked red. I tried to swing it like Dr Bates said, but it still flickered like anything. Oh well. I also saw two planets, which I guessed were Mars and Venus (and I was right, surprisingly!). Venus looked crescent-shaped through binoculars, but it’s hard to tell for sure as my binoculars are meant for birdwatching, not skywatching. Aldebaran in Taurus, Canis Minor, Auriga and Gemini were also visible. Nice view of the Pleiades, but it looked like a small blue cloud with my crummy eyes. Argh! another reason I need to see a Bates teacher!

Zoomed in:

Yah, I forgot to get a close-up look of the Hyades, perhaps I’ll try again tomorrow morning. But I did have a look at Orion’s sword. My binoculars are only 10×32s or something, the crummy roof prisms type, and because the objective lenses are so small M42 (the nebula in Orion’s sword) appeared grey, which is a beastly shame, but what do you expect from freebie binocs, eh?

And this is what the Pleiades really look like:

Cat-erole for dinner?

Sunday, September 2, 2007

Fancy this for your dinner?

An Australian chef’s curiosity has definitely killed several cats – and turned the nation’s wild moggies into evening meals.

Feral cats roaming the Outback are being increasingly caught and cooked, and transformed into casseroles or stews.

Children’s author Kat Kessing (yes, that’s her real name) says the recipes are not only appetising but can also cut down the death and destruction caused by wild cats.

But critics say the concoctions are in very poor taste – in more ways than one.

Ms Kessing has been turning cats into food for 15 years, after managing to trap one near her Alice Springs home.

She said: ‘When I started to skin and gut it, I thought the meat looked quite nice. And I knew the Aboriginal mob roasted them on the fire and liked them.

‘I thought I’d have a go too – so I made a cat-erole.’

But she has only just publicly introduced her favourite recipe for sautéed cat, at an Outback food contest.

The meal involves chopping and browning two small feral cats, adding dashes of lemongrass, salt, pepper, wild peach, spinach leaves and mistletoe berries, and cooking on high heat for five hours.

Ms Kessing, 57, has also been working on extended menus, including roast cat and cat sausages.

She describes the taste as a cross between rabbit meat and chicken.

But it’s not to everyone’s taste.

Competition organiser Linda Chellew said: ‘The judges all just bit the bullet and ate the cat.

‘I had to very politely go and spit it out in the back room because I couldn’t break it down – it was pretty tough.’

ROFL! This is great! If only they’d start a trend over here XD

No, he doesn’t think much of me at all, does he?

No, Tom, this isn’t about you! Something weird’s after happening. I’ve had over 100 hits in the last 3 hours. That’s very very strange. There was 1,000 hits when I logged on today, and now I’m up to 1,233!

Very weird, I wonder where they’re all coming from? Maybe it’s spam bots or something.

Edit: Oh I know what it is. They found my torrent on PMBD and got all excited hahahaha

I’ve finally finished chapter four of Jasmine’s story, what a relief. This one came out very dark, Jasmine finally hits rock bottom. I found this one quite hard to write, but I’m glad I’ve got it out the way. Now I just need to take a few more screenshots, clean up the first draft and it should be ready for upload. Gah! Now I can finish off part three of Lana’s story. Don’t worry, there is no way on Earth I’m letting that one leak into 4 chapters.

Here’s a peak at part four of Raindrops, just to whet your appetite:
