Rugby. Then rugby. Followed by more rugby. Then Wii.

My arm ached all today from badminton. Bah.

Went to Rob and Em's with Andy at midday and watched some rugby. First it was New Zealand defeating Italy, 76-14, followed by Australia defeating Japan, 91-3 and then finally England defeating the USA with 28-10. The scores don't show the true facts though, Japan battled valiantly against Australia and New Zealand were 'a bunch of cheating bastards' to quote Em on the matter. Also England played shite. This was followed by Wii bowling and laser hockey before everyone declared exhaustion.

This was accompanied by Pringles, pizza, homebrew beer, and we were introduced to a new Andy personality - Export Andy, who is very competitive even in the face of utter defeat. All good fun.

Working tomorrow. Boo. I could use the money but I really don't feel like going. Oh well.

Really tired now. Need sleep.

Today's random pic is of a Silicon Graphics IRIS Indigo workstation. This company made computers that looked aesthetically pleasing, way before Apple did. Very nice high-end systems, running a Unix variant called Iris and very solidly built. They commonly had very powerful 3D graphics and were used for film work. The other cool thing was the names: Indigo, Indy, Onyx, Crimson and Octane were just some of them.
