Of Plastic Knives, Ice Packs and Paper Napkins

This weekend was the celebration of my beloved's birthday, so a number of friends and I decided to treat him to a day trip to Sun City. He had never been during the day, and it seemed a fitting gift for a 25th birthday.

Conversion

Have a listen to foreign music if you get a chance. Alright, let me rephrase: have a listen to non-English music if you get a chance. You may well find a number of really excellent songs that have missed commercial success because, well, they're not sung in English.

To Buy A Fat Pig

I remember the rhyme now:

Blast from the Past

I'm finished! On a whim, I typed in the name of the console computer system I had in the early 1980s, my first computer if you will, and I found it!

To Market, To Market

I forget the rest of this nursery rhyme, but it’s a reference to my being back on the market career-wise. I’m looking for work, so wish me luck. I have several interviews lined up already.

Standard Crank

I just tried to log into my CC's bank account now to find that I cannot get in – it says no accounts are linked to the card number. How bizarre!

Unimpressed

I had a massive argument with my ex last night (the one who broke up with me in December) and I'm feeling terrible. I only managed about 4 hours of sleep, which matches the 4 hours from the previous night.

Revival Tour

What to say when someone you are over asks "so when are we going to be lovers?".

Project Dreamwings

Tonight I was inspired by the story of Arthur Piercy, an ex-fighter pilot who was shot down during the Border War and became a quadriplegic. He is an impassioned speaker and it's worth checking out his website, Project Dreamwings.
