Awesomeness

Listening to: an assortment of stuff off the hard drive. Lately though I have had "The wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald" stuck on high rotate in my head. Meh, there are worse songs.

Awesome I

All the cool lightning last week. E.g. from Thursday night:

Normally you would be able to see the lights of Wellington in that photo. Its out there somewhere.......

Super Saturday for the NZ sports people. For the overseas readers slideshow linky here, story linky here, and here

Going from no Olympic medals to five in a few hours, and I saw every one live as it happened. The twins performance was legendary, only outdone by Mahe Drysdale being an absolute and utter legend, destroying himself for a bronze, when he probably should have been in a hospital bed. Valerie Vili destroying her opposition in the shot put. And the AB's smoked the South Africans too. Also cool was Bolt's 100 metre win. Starts slowing down after 80 m, and still breaks the world record. How cool is that? And Phelps becoming the greatest was kinda fun to watch. Loving the Olympics.

Awesome III
More awesomer than all of the above, Senor Twotrees got hitched to the lovely Ms West End on Saturday. Wish I could have been there to celebrate like D3vo and Morgue.

Chur chur and a toast for absent friends to you both.
