Got Anything Random To Say

it is annoying that my cat has had 2 setbacks in her process of learning how to use the cat flap in the rear wire door.
the first one was when she pushed through the flap, and it closed on her tail. it took her a few days to gain confidence in it again, and she eventually became quite excited about how it works for her every time. she became more confident and was beginning to run through it.

but it does not necessarily work every time.
last night, i let her out the front door, and the solid main back door was closed (as was the rear wire door). sometime later, i heard a thump on my solid back door, and it suddenly occurred to me that it may be the cat who had tried to run through the flap but was thwarted by the solid door.

when i went out to look, she was there shaking her head as if she was going to sneeze, and i realized she may take a few more days to learn.

It takes approximately 3 hours.

Linkin Park's first two albums (well, three if you count Reanimation) always bring me back. Back to a time when things were better for me, and life was worth living. When I was a kid, and things weren't as complicated. I sat in my mother's room in our big old Victorian house and just watch the video for "Somewhere I Belong" on MTV. I would envision cities of my own creation, skyscrapers of thoughts scraping a sky of power chords and turntablism. It's funny, and a little ironic, because the same albums I enjoyed in the good times as a youngin' would carry me through the darkest days of my life as a teen. If only I knew then what I know now.

Alice Cooper rocks!

Went to Bunnings and bought some nice plants.

I went to a zoo today. The bird heads that I saw in the crocodile section were rather gross and made me sad.

i would like to find a book about the philosophy behind the design of swinging saloon doors of the mid 1800's, but i have not been able to find one despite many inquiries.

there was a show on the TV in the background last night that was an old western, and it showed some old swinging doors that were the entrance to a saloon, and it was typical of many scenes i have seen in my life portraying those types of doors on wild west saloons, but i suddenly wondered why the doors were designed the way they were.

they do not reach the floor or the ceiling, so they can not prevent ingress from dogs or children or birds or wind or dust etc, so i wondered why they were designed that way. why not just open the main shutter in the morning and leave the doorway empty?

the swinging doors would not offer much protection from the glare of the sun in the afternoon either.

i think that the doors are designed so that passers by on the street can not see the faces of those seated inside. it seems to be the only reason i can think of.
maybe it also affords patrons a foot level view of people approaching the hotel from the outside and therefore gives some warning to potential trouble.

if that was the reason the doors were designed that way, then what a paranoid atmosphere must have been prevalent at the time.

i guess i will never know.

Got my bling on...getting ready to go shopping.

I just found out that Cadbury Turkish Delight is rosewater flavoured.

I should go take a nap.

Sometimes I like to daydream.

My neck is sore, 2 inches above the shoulders.

I have Two keyboards and i keep using the wrong oneeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Why does a V6 yank sedan need Eagle F1 tyres on it?

Why didn't I factor in the cost of new tyres before? Tyres for a 300S will cost at least $400 each! . Maybe I should go for the 300C with its smaller rims.
