The days are longer, the pants are shorter
Woke up this morning from the strangest of dreams. I was in the biggest army that the world had ever...

Hang on, take two.

I woke up this morning from a very strange dream. I dreamt that my mouth was really dry, and no matter how much water i drank, it was just so dry that my tongue was sticking to the roof of my mouth and i couldn't breathe or anything. Then I woke up, and felt the same way, but without the water. I think I'm getting sick(er). Not so bad as a few weeks ago though. My nose is getting blocked-er too.

lots to do today though. No time to be sick. Thursday is busiest-day for Mark.

But it's very summery at the moment. Three consecutive shorts-wearing days. woohoo.

Life just seems better when you're wearing shorts.

Michael kicks out Johnny...
Thank God for REM

I know he did really well at the ARIA's last week, and Whispering Jack was my constant childhood companion, but could John Farnham please stop invading my conscious awareness, please.

Subconsciousness is fine, and I'm open to negotiating semiconscious space, but the conscious is a no-go zone buddy. no go.

Sad. ness...

Kaia has gone now. We said goodbye yesterday at Melbourne Airport. I just couldn't help myself, i had to wait until the plane left, and wave goodbye as it taxied onto the runway.


It was a really good week (5 days). We went on our first date. We found this realy nice restaurant in Mt Waverley. Vietnamese. Mmmm. I like vietnamese food. It's like halfway between Chinese and Thai. The service was brilliant, and really quick. The only draw back, I think, from Ki's point of view, was the fact that they had rugs on the walls for decoration. Me? I liked the rugs. Wouldn't necessarily put rugs on my own walls though...

It's Melbourne Cup Day today. That means Public Holiday in Melbourne. But I'm at work. Although I did sleep in. Quite a lot. But here I am.

Was trying to think of a funny/clever way to end this post.

a new pet!

I tried blogging yesterday, but then work things came up. sorry

Spent last night onthte lounge room floor. On a comfy mattress. It was nice and soft and thick and foamy, but a little skinny - there was no way to roll over easily. And being a fairly energetic sleeper, i woke up once or twice, teetering on the edge.

I have also discovered a new pet hate. Or more likely an old one, that I've just noticed...

Photocopies of photocopies of photocopies. They lose all the crispness of the original, and develop weird variations on hte straight line theme. like Lisa Simpson's sax during the opening sequence of The Simpsons.

Except, on paper.

and with lines, and edges, and stuff.

not really like the sax at all.

you know what i mean...

can't get enough of your blog babe
yeah, Barry white.

oh yeah, my 'essay' on image is now here

lounge rooms and horse riding
well, it's been a while.

I apologise for my inconsistent blogging. It's just that I don't have access at home, and last week was a bit psycho. It began with two days of re-experiencing the previous couple of days' meals...

sorry, a bit graphic. They were better he first time though.

And then on Saturday I had a breakout to coordinate for my centre, as well as preparing to MC the day. Breakouts are these day trip things that we run for young people. Good fun - this one was a WILD WILD WEST theme. We went horse riding. Well, I didn't get to go horse riding, but i did get to play charades.

Yep, non-stop action on our breakouts.

But I'm feeling better now. Enjoying a very healthy dinner consisting of Minties. Moments like these, hey...

So, the big news at the moment is that Kaia is coming to visit tomorrow. That's pretty exciting. She's staying here until Monday. This is the first time either one of us has seen the other in their natural environment. hmm, a bit nervous. But i'll clean my room tonight, I think.

I get to become more closely aquainted with our loungeroom floor. lovely brown carpet.

Hey! Eye of the tiger is on again... What's with Blogging and eye of the tiger?

And now, the moment you've been waiting for...
I've moved this essay on image elsewhere, because it was bugging me in the blog space.

I'll put a link to it somewhere, when I work out what's going on with my web page...

In the mean time, you might like to try the garlic bread.

*UPDATE* (I could have just deleted the other stuff, but i've done enough of that for one day)

The essay hes bee moved to here

Coming soon...
Yep, that big blog on image is on its way. I'm getting the mileage up on this one. In the mean time, Pirates was great.

Not as scary as I'd expected, and heck of a lot funnier. Johnny Depp was fantastic. I think I'm a fan, I'd like to see it again.

and now a word from our sponsors
it may be a little later than i originally thought. I'm going to see Pirates of the Caribbean...

Partly because it looks like a good movie, but mostly because i'm sick of being in conversations with people about it, and not being able to contribute to them intelligently.

Seeing the movie may not change that.

but hey, it's a movie.
