I shot Mina. It was fun!
I recently noticed a six pack of these in the fridge:

You'll have to excuse the poor photography, but the label asserts that the drink is an 'energy lager'. I'm assuming they belong to my flatmate, but my question is this: what the heck is an energy lager? Beer makes me feel relaxed, if not sleepy.. I don't understand how one could possibly make you feel energetic regardless of the chemicals in it, and even if you could, I don't see the appeal...
All I can say is, crazy Japanese... The game would be more fun if you could play it with a Wii remote though!
Me and my friend were driving around the bays last Sunday night, and we spontaneously decided that we would see if we could get to my house via that side of town. Generally to get to Karori, you have to either go through the Aro Valley, or go right around the other side of town, but knowing we were geologically close, even if there were no known roads we decided to give it a shot. So in the dead of night, driving along we reach a place where the road appears to end. Fortunately, we spot a 4WD track along the foreshore. Sure, we were in a crappy little student car that was about as far from a 4WD as you can get, and we were nearly outta petrol, but it was worth a shot. We drove for quite a while, nearly getting stuck on several occasions, but Mattt being the awesome driver that he is we managed to pull through. Eventually we reached a rocky steep pass that we knew the poor car Betty could not get through. Sadly, we turned around, prayed that we had enough petrol, and drove home via a more conventional route. I managed to plot our path on google maps:

My flat is not much further than north of where the map ends. I'm actually fairly impressed with how far we got. One of these days we are going to have to get a 4WD, and try it again...
