Trippin'

Good trip up the coast yesterday. trashpants safely delivered. Met her family - explains a lot :D

Prius did an even 5.0L/100km (distance 705km petrol pump to petrol pump). I wouldn't say fully loaded, because some of the boxes were fairly light.

Return trip today was done on 4.5L/100km with just me and a hitchhiker I picked up about Seddon[?]. He spent most of the trip asleep - 3am ferry crossings can do that to you I suppose.

[Moskau!]

Was tired enough to take a nap when I got home - interrupted twice by a work salesperson with questions that indicate it's going to be a long week. Pushed through the tasks already in my inbox and anticipation (anti-anticipation?) of which had already sapped my mood before I even got home.

Currently feeling kinda -blah- . The weekend was good, even with aforementioned work I shouldn't be feeling this far down :(.

Sirens are screaming and the fires are howling
Way down in the valley tonight
There's a man in the shadows with a gun in his eye
And a blade shining oh so bright
There's evil in the air and there's thunder in the sky
And a killer's on the bloodshot streets
Oh and down in the tunnel where the deadly are rising
Oh I swear I saw a young boy
Down in the gutter
He was starting to foam in the heat

It's a tradition in my family that we *always* listen to all of Bat Out of Hell on long car trips - with my Dad and I usually singing along. I do believe that Meat will be keeping me company on my trip from Dunedin to Waimate on Wednesday.

Absolutely - Bat Out of Hell has to be one of the best roadtrip albums ever made. I can recall a couple of long solo trips in the US where it helped me stay awake for 300 mile stretches of 6 lane freeway. Ahhh... nostalgia...

BoH II had it's turn in the CD player duing the trip - I also have BoH & Dead Ringer in the car.

705ks is pretty good. My car barely manages the 100ks with $20 of petrol.
