Space Cadet

I've had one of those days when you don't feel like yourself - really!

I've had trouble all day concentrating on tasks and articulating my words, which isn't good considering I'm on the phone and computer for over 9 hours a day. I couldn't focus properly on the computer screen and kept switching off and staring into space.

I honestly don't know how I made it through today without either having an accident or even falling asleep.

I guess I can trace it back over the weekend. On Saturday I had a rotten headache which was concentrated on the usual side, my left side - head, neck and shoulder.

But by Sunday it had swapped over to the right side. I hardly ever have a headache, sore neck or shoulder concentrated on that side, so maybe that was it.

I'm off to get some rest and hopefully that will get me back on track.

Should I Tell Her?

I've been friends with someone for a long time, however, we have drifted apart over the last couple of years for a couple of reasons. One, I was always there to support and give her advice, but when I needed support, she wasn't there for me. And secondly, I couldn't stand her boyfriend! I never told her my feelings, instead I bit my tongue and said nothing.

Now I have a dilemma. I bumped into her first serious boyfriend about the time she hooked up with her new guy. We have become friends and I've caught up a few times with him (more often than I have her in the last few years). The opportunity to tell her never came up because on the occasions I did catch up with her, it's all been about her love life, her problems - not once has she asked me about my personal life, so I've said nothing.

I was there to pick up the pieces when they broke up years ago and she was absolutely devastated. If I were to follow the 'Best Friend Code' I would have nothing further to do with any exes my friend had, but we are no longer 'friends' as we were back then.

The question is, do I tell her?

Movie Review: Wild Hogs

I've wanted to see this for a while now and I've just realised that it is coming to the end of it's run in the cinema's. I've also heard they are filming a sequel. Normally I see the sequel but never get around to watching the first one (Bridget Jones Edge Of Reason, Oceans 12, American Pie Wedding). This time I wanted to do it in the right order.

Plot: A group of middle-aged friends who decide to rev up their routine suburban lives with a freewheeling motorcycle trip. Taking a long dreamed-of breather from their stressful jobs and family responsibilities, they can’t wait to feel the freedom of the open road.

When this mis-matched foursome, who have grown far more used to the couch than the saddle, set out for this once-in-a-lifetime experience - they encounter a world that holds far more than they ever bargained for. The trip begins to challenge their wits and their luck, especially during a chance run-in with the Del Fuegos, a real-life biker gang who are less than amused with their novice approach.

As they go looking for adventure, they soon find that they’ve embarked on a journey they will never forget.

Carjacking In Joondalup Last Night

This could have been me. I was right there!

It happened when I was driving home from work last night after getting dropped off at the train station by a friend. The other car was slightly in front of me in the next lane.

The bogged car was on my side of the road, yet the girl jumped out from the middle of the carriageway into the other lane in front of the other car!

As soon as I heard on the radio this morning that the driver had been carjacked I contacted the police to give more information. They took down details and said they would forward them on to the investigating team who would probably contact me for more information later.

Pretty scary! Thank god I drive with my doors locked!
