I'm enjoying the sun in Indochina so can't be at home for the celebrations, but I'll still raise a glass and no doubt find some Aussies where I am - I just need to look for the nearest bunch of yobs sinking some beers and singing the 80's classic from Men At Work!<br />

I'm not sure if you know, but we have a citizen test now here in Australia, you get to sit an exam of 20 random questions chosen from a pool of 200 if you decide you want to migrate and become a citizen - Through my contacts I've scored a few of these questions, so if you ever wondered if you could cut it and become an Aussie, go ahead and give this a try:<br />

Steve had a barney and a bit of biffo.'<br />
<br />
5. Macca, Chooka and Wanger are driving to Surfers in their Torana. If they are travelling at 100 <br />

I am looking forward to getting out of Aussie for a bit and visiting places I've never seen. I've got one of the Man Made Wonders of The World planned from the original 1968 list which I'm a little stoked about as it will bring my tally to 4 in total - only another 6 to go!<br />

Very interesting to see how far IT has infected all aspects of your life, especially when you don't have it!<br />
<br />
I've actually had this outfit for a while, but courtesy of my old laptop I couldn't show it until now! It comes from the same team that created the <a href="http://steamsstyle.blogspot.com/2011/12/science-fiction.html" target="_blank">Science Fiction Tuxedo</a> I featured in my last post a few weeks back . It does includes a few extra options I've not shown including a ripped tee and a bunch of chains you can wear on your thighs, arms and torso... however as soon as I saw it knew it would right at home down at the crack den RP Sim...<br />

A bunch of fantastic stores have some great stuff out for you - below are a few items I've picked up so far and I've only been to 25 or so stores...<br />

Anyway enough of my complaining, even with time pretty tight I wanted to blog a new skin and shape I picked up from Essences - Claudio. This is not my normal look as you all know, but I still liked what I saw.... and thought I'd go old skool and go play the pinnies like back in the day when the ciggie pack was folded up under the shirt sleeve and smoking was expected!<br />

I am a reformed smoker, so does that make it [or me] worse? Anyway, in case you've not been down to <a href="http://slurl.com/secondlife/Juicy%20la%20Joila/65/56/23/" target="_blank">PHILO</a> lately, they've just released this great leather jacket and shirt which I've thrown on today to help keep those impending winter chills at bay! It's pretty cool (or hot... whichever is the right descriptor here) and nicely textured. I also threw on the Thanksgiving gift skin from Akeruka which I thought added more of an urban appeal.<br />

I tried and I tried, I had primmed down and my render cost was tiny (115 in case you're interested), but still I lagged no matter what I tried so in the end.... I gave up trying to check out the Vintage Fair (the number of avis >10k was staggering) - maybe today? In the end I just trolled my inventory looking for things I've had hanging around for ages and this was the result:<br />

I followed the link and thought, hey I'd like to give that a go! The rules are pretty simple, spend less than L$550, use only items currently available and don't use anything from your library. There is no doubt that it's pretty damn hard for us fella's to put together a complete avatar for next to nix, but armed with half a fistful of dollars, off I went - you can check out Gogo's challenge <a href="http://juicybomb.com/2011/11/04/newbie-style-challenge-ii/">here</a>.<br />

In the end I knew I had to do something, so on the way home from work one day I spied a public phone, my cell had a flat battery so I parked up and dialed her and waited.... my heart was thumping, my mouth was dry, the expectation was killing me.... but what the hell was that noise behind me?<br />

So in honour of the majority, here's Zombie Steam, just ripe for the killing down at Zombie bloodbath...<br />

The beach has always had a cathartic effect on me, growing up and spending endless summers at the beach had set a pattern to my life. It was my escape and right now it was just what I needed...<br />

The sound of the surf, the feeling of the water as it swirled around me and the sand between my toes, it all started to make sense. I knew what I had to do.<br />

"The world is going downhill,fast" , my old man used to say, "And there's no way to stop it." Of course, I didn't fully understand that then, but I could still feel, and see the poverty and misery we lived in. By the time I was born, the world was slowly falling in disarray. Wars being fought at every step, water reserves diminishing, inflation. Then, the nuclear war started. We never knew who launched the first missiles. <br />

But that doesn't even matter now, the Mechs came next. Some say they were created by the Steamers but no one knows for sure. They were human once, but not any more. Now they just hunt and kill, leaving only devastation in their wake. <br />

It's not a decision process I recall with a whole lot of clarity, although the result seems clear enough now...<br />

I do remember waking up the next day with my self medication surrounding me and a fair amount of tingling discomfort wondering what, why, how and then finally... WTF!!<br />
