New Years was good this (last) year. Went out for dinner with Amanda and Michael and stuffed ourselves with good food, and good dessert. Then off to the Goodwill bridge, where we watched some of the fireworks at 9. Back to their place just near Southbank for a few hours, where we sat around talking, and generally catching up. Finally, back to ( Read more... )

It didn't initially occur to me to write an entry on my brother in this series, but reading through some of my older journal entries, I realised I haven't said much about him, and he was and still is an important part of my life. So this post is dedicated to my brother, Nelson

Nelson is my younger brother. Born in 1978 he was 2/1/2 years my ( Read more... )

My writing career *cough* has been a rather small affair, consisting of a few sections in one single Shadowrun book. Yet that being said, I am proud of my efforts. Writing for Shadowrun was a dream of mine that I can now say I fulfilled, even if I never go any further with it.

We talked to each other from time to time, and had met each other in person once or twice, but we didn't know each other particularly well. That changed when I got divorced. After the divorce I was living with my mum for a few ( Read more... )

Well I just cashed in all of my invite codes and it paid neatly for another two months of paid account at LJ. Guess they had to be good for something :)

I'm reading a book at the moment by the name of "Is Anyone Out There ( Read more... )

Ok,  a bit of history.  In March, 2002, there was a man.  A man who we shall call Mr Gander.  Mr Gander decided, for some reason, to try and fake the creation of a wireless broadband company capable of providing unlimited internet access for $70 a month.  He placed a small advertisement in the Courier Mail here in Brisbane and even hired a call ( Read more... )

My first week trying to go to the gym was a disaster.  Between forgetting to bring in a change of clothes, Helena not being able to bring them in for me, friends coming over and me piking, I outright simply didn't go.  But I was determined to fix that.  So last night, I got everything I needed, made sure I remembered it and headed off after work.
