Claire had her birthday bash on Saturday night! We had a bit of a Xanga gathering, with Claire (Purcey), Terri (Phoenix_Anti), Wayne and Sherri (PerfectComplements), Jen (ElfQueen), and yours truely. I was instructed…
Jenny suggested that my next blog should be titled 'Fun and games in the city with Jen', but that blog will have to wait. I have more important things to talk about right now. Today's blog is titled 'Nudie'. Jen and…
This is the view I look out on every day from the laboratory I work in. I love that every day it looks slightly different, depending upon the weather. Banks! Yes, I know, I've whinged about them before. But…
Here you go Bernie, a pic of the genuine elephant bullshit for you, as requested. I sat it on my statistics book to take this photograph....not that I think statistics is bullshit or anything, it's just hard. I got a…
There are some quite nice native gardens scattered around the uni. I admire these grevilleas every time I walk past them. I think they're lovely. I've done a little survey to see how many people use their 're…
I've never been to a suprise birthday party before. Lastnight I went to Gabe's suprise 40th party. It was Julie's (his wife's) birthday last week so she told him that he was going to his sister's house for a BBQ dinn…

OK, I had my little rant earlier today which made me feel better. Hopefully the access will all be sorted out soon and my student card will swipe me into the computer lab like it was supposed to 7 weeks ago. …
I'm trying, I really am. It takes me hours and hours to work out how to do statistical questions. It takes me a huge number of hours to do these assignments. It's really hard for me, it's like learning another languag…
I have been sifting through my photographs that I took overseas for three reasons: 1) now that I have a printer I'd like to print some, 2) searching for something decent to post on Fotolog, and 3) a friend of mine in Me…
Fight for your opinions, but do not believe that they contain the whole truth, or the only truth. Charles A. Dana I have been browsing quotes recently to try to help Janis with a little project that we're work…
How would you like this to be your final resting place? I walked some of the Bondi to Coogee walk yesterday, which is a coastal walk between the two suburbs. I think the entire walk takes about 2 hours each way, just g…
Early morning/late night radio. How often you listen to it? I drove up to Wayne and Sherri's for dinner last night where I also caught up with Dusk. It was a lovely evening, and given that it is about a 2 hour drive h…
OK, perhaps life isn't so bad...I'm only saying that because my assignment for this week amazingly got done...I'm not sure how but it all kinda came together yesterday. Someone refreshed my memory of year 12 maths (well…
OK, my life is officially hell. Why is it that I'm studying and putting myself through this? I remember being so happy the day I enrolled. What was I thinking? Heather...take note! PS Statistics sucks.
I got an email today from a friend telling me of the birth of her (and her husband's) first child. Two things stuck me instantly and simultaneously. 1) I didn't even know she was pregnant...what sort of a friend does t…
Well, it has been a busy week. We have a guy (Wim) from Holland working with us for the next 3 months (I worked with him when I was over there earlier this year). He started work on Monday. Work was pretty bu…
Who still gets normal mail, the postal type, snail mail, that doesn't consist of bills? Much as I love it, I rarely receive mail. But today was an exception to the rule....I received 3 postcards! THREE!!!! One from m…
September 1, officially our first day of Spring. I didn't realise until recently that other countries don't recognise the change in season until later in the month, using nature and the time of the equinox instead of an…
