Finally!

2009-12-21T21:47:55Z

I finally finished the cross stitch for mum. Here it is, in all it's painstaking glory... Then I framed it, and it looked a bit better... and in case you were wondering, the silver mess at the bottom right is supposed to be a silver fern (natio...

What the hell was I thinking?

2009-11-17T22:50:43Z

I did the spin/boxing combo classes this morning. About 5 minutes into the spin class I realised this was a bad idea. But there was no way out. I was trapped in a sea of sweaty cyclists and had to stay for the entire class. I had my bike set on ...

Don't waste your money

2009-10-18T21:48:26Z

On going to see 'Couples Retreat'. I'm just saying, because you won't get that hour and a half, or your $20 back. I was really looking forward to it, and we even went to the drive in to see it. But it was so lame. Vince Vaughn is just not that fu...

Windy with a chance of the apocalypse

2009-09-23T00:57:40Z

This is Sydney this morning. Everything is covered in red dust from 'the worst sand storm Sydney has ever seen'. I knew we were in for some fierce winds, but had no idea I'd be woken to a red sky. It's not only the red sky that's causing the f...

Random thought

2009-09-16T04:39:03Z

G's post on age bought it back to my mind, but I was thinking the other day about when I started showing 'the physical signs of aging' and ironically it was AFTER I stopped smoking, dabbling in recreational drugs and drinking myself (literally) un...

I'm not kidding

Everything hurts. This 'next level' of fitness is bloody painful. Even my fingers are sore. It kind of hurts me to type.

Walk, walk, walk

2009-09-14T03:09:31Z

I don't know quite what is out the back of my house. Well, obviously there is a backyard and a walkway to the lane, but its the business across the lane that I don't quite know about. There are no signs. There is a skip that is full of boxes and ...

Apple, you bite.

2009-09-02T03:37:11Z

I used to be a massive Apple advocate. I've used them (both privately and professionally) for years. I was one of those annoying people who totally aligned themselves with the 'cool' stereotype of Macs and thought that PC users were boring and an...

Weekend plans

2009-08-19T23:50:57Z

Is it the weekend yet? No? OK, it's close, only one sleep away... Can't wait. The end of my month-of-living-breathing-hell is coming to an end. After today and tomorrow I should be able to function like a normal person, with the busiest projects...
