A very rushed assembly

After the principals assembly yesterday, there was this almighty great rush to get all the year 13's in for an assembly during interval. That wasn't so bad.

As it turns out, it's year 13 week this week! But it's only for Thursday and Friday... Sad. The idea is that we dress up according to the daily theme. Thursday is future career and Friday is superhero. I am quite happy to reveal that on thursday, I am going to be going as a Sound/Lighting Technician. As for Friday? The guessing is left to you. I've been spending the vast majority of this week so far getting everything ready and I have to admit, it's coming along really nicely. (REALLY NICELY). I'm actually making my costume.

Also, in other news, the Year13 hoodies are nearly ready for ordering. This makes me happy because I really want to get one and I hadn't heard any news about it up until now. The same applies for Grad dinner. This does unfortunately mean that I have to dress up in a suit... again. But, on the plus side, I still won't have to dance. That will never happen.

In futher news, the world is still being slowly destroyed due to various factors.

And finally, I have signed up for the Slave Auction Thingymajigy for Thursday. So if you just so happen to attend my school, please come and purchase me! YES! I AM FOR SALE!!! (Despite how wrong that may sound...)

That's a law?

I've always found it fascinating how the rules and regulations of airports work.

Specifcally, when it comes to customs. You probably don't know this, but as soon as your on the other side of customs, after the padding, the passports and the x-rays, your no longer in your original country. Yup, your now in a tiny country with absolutely no centralised government.

Fortunately, the government of the country that surrounds the countriles void once set down regulations for airports so that they still have to follow the laws of the country - So no, you don't have to worry about getting stabbed and your attacked not being charged because it technically didn't happen in the country.

However, even so, this does raise an interesting point. Technically, as long as said airport follows the laws of the country, they can come up with whatever sort of laws they want for their own little private paradise - and it all comes into affect when you cross the border.

You could be prosecuted for having a red handbag.

It's really possible...

Ardon District Line - W.I.P

So, I've been working on the Ardon District Line - A fictional USA based route in Trainz 2012. The main focus of this route will be multiplayer based but I really like how it is going so far.

Just because I am nice, I decided to give you a screenie!



No. 9609 awaits track clearance at the bridge in front so several tonnes of coal can be transferred onto a waiting ship.

Oh, and this is the most detailed bit so far. <=D

Here's another screenie after I did some building work. I have to admit, despite not having much to work with, I am quite satisfied with the outcome. =)

Admittedly, the ground is not yet textured. That will probably come last for this section.
