I went to the city today to sort out the Flemington shooting range booking. I'm going tomorrow afternoon at 2 pm straight after my last exam. Will be keepin' it real G style and post some photos tomorrow to boot. ;) Anyway, you know how Pepsi came out with Pepsi Twist? It's normal Pepsi with a slight lemon taste. It's only available in KFC for the time being. Well, I was grocery shopping at Coles the other day and saw that Coke has something similar. I don't know which one came out first, but here's the Coke version:
Diet Coke with Lemon flavor
I prefer the Coke version. Pepsi tastes too sweet to be thirst quenching unless its watered down with ice cubes. Diet coke is my drink of choice. Anyway, I've noticed that the KFC chicken here are absolutely miniscule. The drumsticks are half the size of the Malaysian counterpart, if that. It's only slightly bigger than the Ayamas frozen mini drumsticks. While having 3 pieces of chicken will make me feel bloated in KFC Malaysia, here it just made me feel slightly full. And that's the ultimate 3 piece meal with the Picnic bar, bun, fries and mashed potatoes.
KFC's The Ultimate 3-piece Meal
Well, I took a lot of pictures while I was in the city today. I've been getting the dreaded "System Error" that plagues most Nikon digicams. I figured out that it only happens when the zoom lens have not been retracted properly for some reason. The remedy is to manually push (not too hard) on the zoom lens, so that it is 'docked' again. You shouldn't touch the actual lens with your fingers, just apply pressure on the side if you have this problem. Anyway, I've been doing a bit of gadget shopping too. I went the the really cheap computer hardware place opposite Melbourne Central. Picked up a Canon CanoScan N670U for A$170 and a Surecom self powered 4-Port USB Hub EP-1004P for A$45. I saw this Wacom tablet going for slightly over A$100. I don't draw, but I felt a nearly uncontrollable compulsion to buy it. Just because. Good thing I walked out of the store before I did. Heh. I did notice that the first thing that the Quick Start booklet of the scanner says is "Scanning of certain documents, such as bank notes (snip) may be prohibited by law and may result in criminal and/or civil liability". Oh? I had already scanned a crinkly 50 dollar bill and was about to post it with some quip about printing it but on second thought, that might not be a good idea.
Anyway, here's a complement to yesterday's POTD. I found this today while walking to the bus loop.
Rumble of the Peters: A 3-Way, all out, no holds barred, "no need to keep the dinner warm honey, coz I ain't coming back" cage match.
Peter the Possum
Generally regarded as the crowd favorite, this little critter can run fast and has pretty sharp claws to boot.
Peter the Possum Man
Not much is known about this bloke, but I hear he catches possums for a living.
Peter the Speed Racer
Because of the speed his vehicle is capable of, there are no known photographs of this menace to the roads. Question mark picture taken from CRpuzzles [crpuzzles.com].
The result:
Peter the Speed Racer Wins! (with a total knock out)
