The cover song list
This one's for willfull , per Twitter request! This is the song list for the cover band I've been playing with (which is still nameless, despite having had a few gigs at parties). We haven't actually played any clubs, although we did play a big fancy birthday party at the Powerhouse, which is a cool theatre/art space in New Farm, the "yuppie" part of ( Read more... ) -
I went to the zoo today... Crikey!
So, my relatives from NY & PA arrived on Monday. I met them for dinner the past two nights and then today we went to the Australia Zoo (which I hadn't done before). It was okay, although the whole Steve Irwin thing was overdone ("Crikey!") and, now that he's no longer with us, they've started exploiting his children, which is a bit weird. What I ( Read more... ) -
Happy Birthday to me... (geek blog)
OK, I am officially a computer geek. I never really identified as one, but I now have a dual-boot computer with a freshly installed copy of Ubuntu 8.04 Linux. Okay, I took the easy route and used WUBI, which is a super-easy installer designed for Windows users to instantly create a dual-boot Linux/Windows computer. But it works like a charm.

So my poor laptop hard drive is starting to give up the ghost and I've gone ahead and ordered a new one. As an IT student at QUT, I have access to various Microsoft (evil) software products for my personal use, which includes both Windows XP Professional (I'm currently running Home Edition) or Windows Vista Business. Since I'll have to install ( Read more... ) -

G'day...
Oh, hi. I just got done writing a portion of a paper for a group assignment. I don't like writing portions of papers because I don't really know exactly what the other people are writing. Oh well, I'm done with it... for now. Until we have to put it all together and then figure out how to make it a cohesive academic report ( Read more... ) -
It's a small, small, small world...
So, last night, Susan and I went out to check out the GLBT scene in Brisbane, by going to a popular gay bar called the Wickham. They had advertised a Drag King show, and since we always enjoyed seeing the Cuntry Kings in Durham, we thought this would be a good introduction to the Brisbane lesbian scene ( Read more... ) -
Australian Wildlife
Today, I ran over a gecko with my toaster.
I didn't mean to! Really, it's not something I'd ever aspired to do or would even think was possible in one's lifetime. But I did it.

Hello from Melbourne!
Yes, we have landed safely in Melbourne, Australia -- just got in the night before last. It's about 9:30 AM on Thursday here now (16 hours ahead of EST). The weather is warm, but not quite sunny yet. Yesterday, there were a few sprinkles of rain mixed in with sunny spells. This morning we're getting some nice thunderstorms (I do like a good ( Read more... )
