Forgotten how to be alive?

Posted on Monday, 30 August, 2010 by Jeremy

I’d really like to get my car finished then spend some time outside in the sunshine, taking photos at waterfalls and enjoying fresh air. I think it would be nice to remember being alive. I haven’t done it for a while.

To a mouse (Robbie Burns)

Posted on Friday, 20 August, 2010 by Jeremy

Wee, sleekit, cow’rin’, tim’rous beastie, O what a panic’s in thy breastie! Thou need na start awa sae hasty, Wi’ bickering brattle! I wad be laith to rin an’ chase thee Wi’ murd’ring pattle!   I’m truly sorry man’s dominion Has broken nature’s social union, An’ justifies that ill opinion Which makes thee startle At me, thy poor earth-born companion, An’ fellow-mortal!   I doubt na, whiles, but thou may thieve; What then? poor beastie, thou maun live! A daimen-icker in a thrave ‘S a sma’ request: I’ll get a blessin’ wi’ the lave, And never miss’t!   Thy wee bit housie, too, in ruin! Its silly wa’s the win’s are strewin’: And naething, now, to big a new ane, O’ foggage green! An’ bleak December’s winds ensuin’ Baith snell an’ keen!   Thou saw the fields laid bare and … Continue reading →

MX5 painting

Posted on Sunday, 11 October, 2009 by Jeremy

This last weekend I have been helping a friend to paint their car. Well I’ve been getting them to do all the sanding and surface preparation and I’m silly enough to do the paint spraying (and inhaling). This weekend we got an undercoat layer on the outside of the panels and did a coat of colour on the inside of the panels just to seal them off. Next weekend we’ll do the final outer coats. The unfortunate thing of spraypainting with just a dust mask for protection is you’re really without much protection. Fortunately I’m not spraying two pack but I’m still not feeling the best after the experience of spraying in a comfined space. Before I do any more I’ll be buying a proper breathing mask that can supply an external air supply. The undercoat was looking so good … Continue reading →

Queensland Raceway 03/09/2009

Posted on Thursday, 3 September, 2009 by Jeremy

The MX5 club of Queensland is held a sprint track day at Queensland Raceway today. I recorded some video and photos of the action. This was my first time around Queensland Raceway and I completed 16 laps of the Sprint circuit and 23 laps of the Clubman. I even managed to do a alternator/waterpump belt change between sessions – I only made the next session by the skin of my teeth and was the last car out of the pits. My best times of the day: Sprint 1.09.4168 and Clubman 1.11.5856

New Doctor Who companion

Posted on Monday, 1 June, 2009 by Jeremy

The BBC today revealed that the companion for the forthcoming series of Doctor Who will be Karen Gillan. Twenty-one-year-old Gillan will star alongside new Time Lord, Matt Smith, when the smash hit drama returns to BBC One in spring 2010. With filming due to begin this summer, Gillan beat off dozens of hopefuls to land one of television’s most coveted roles. Gillan said: “I am absolutely over the moon at being chosen to play the Doctor’s new companion. The show is such a massive phenomenon that I can’t quite believe I am going to be a part of it. “Matt Smith is an incredible actor and it is going to be so much fun to act alongside him – I just can’t wait to get started!” Lead writer and Executive Producer, Steven Moffat, added: “We saw some amazing actresses for … Continue reading →

Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles cancelled

Posted on Saturday, 30 May, 2009 by Jeremy

I was browsing through wikipedia tonight looking at the T800 series Terminators in response to the fourth Terminator movie Terminator Salvation was to be released soon. I was surprised to read that the tv series has been cancelled after leaving the second season on a cliffhanger. Series writer and executive producer Josh Friedman has issued the following personal statement: By now most of you have heard the news that T:SCC is cancelled. I received a call earlier today from Peter Roth at Warner Bros. and I appreciate both his personal and professional support throughout this show’s life. I know a lot of you are angry about the cancellation and want to find a place to direct your anger and to that I say do yourself a favor and find a way to move past it. Every network wants a big … Continue reading →
