Stormy Weather :-(
Well, yesterday was an event. We woke up to pretty strong winds. This was good, because it meant the morning fog of the day before was blown away (walking to work in 2ft visibility while all the "important" people use new 4x4s is scary - no footpaths).
However, lack of visbility didn't last long. Sandstorm hit and stayed all day. Walking out was a bit like a strong facial scrub, with a cup of salt to wash it down. Sandblasting.
The sandstorm died down by night fall, but the elements must have thought they hadn't been busy enough, so they gave us an electrical storm. Again, pretty hair raising walking about in the desert....
Did Mother Nature stop there? No, she did not. We then got thunder, followed by rain. Just in time for me to walk back to the office. Nice. The best thing about rain here is that it turns the crappy dusty ground into a sticky mess. I reached the office 3 inches taller!
Election day was yesterday, so lets see what happens now they are truly in charge (nobody can protest about puppet governments).
On the Futurama front, I have sadly finished off all four series. It hasn't failed to make me laugh at least once an episode and the Beastie Boys were featured too! AWESOME!
Choosing a new source of entertainment will be tough, but I have seen the Family Guy box set...

Ooh, Family Guy is good. Also, if you can get hold of it over there, American Dad, by the same people who did Family Guy. Very hilarious.
Sounds like someone pissed off Mother Nature over there. I'd be lucky to see all of those displays in one year, let alone one day!
Still waiting for snow. Got a bit last time I was over here, but I was further North.
I am keeping an eye on all box sets of DVDs until one grabs me. There was one about Batman and Catwomans Daughter and her mates who fight crime. Plot looked shaky, but the women.....
