Birchy Head. June 13, 2009.
The dive shop has yet to have my rental package ready yet when I go in, so I always get to wait while the clerk scavenges whatever is left after they’ve packed a dozen new student kits. They also seem to consistently charge me a different amount every time. Since I joined the dive club it is suppose to be a set price plus any extra tanks, but I’m ( Read more... ) -
Paddy’s Head. May 30, 2009
Had a rare weekend off, so I met up with the dive club on Saturday morning at the shop. They didn’t really have an idea where they were going and settled on Paddy’s Head, I think because I’m a noob and they wanted to take it easy on me. Paddy’s Head is where they take the classes to get certified. I’m not complaining, I haven’t been anywhere around ( Read more... ) -
"Its all so Concrete Blonde now"
Johnette in her prime, both vocally ... and otherwise. This song always gives me pleasent chill up my spine.

Fox Point: April 2009.
I can't hear a bloody thing today. I went diving on Sunday and my right ear, my good ear, hasn't fully equalized yet, so everything sounds like it is coming through a wall of thick felt ( Read more... ) -
Kinda sad really...
Wow I haven't updated in a while. Then again, my life is just not that interesting. -
Just so we're all clear on our definitions of 'rape, kidnapping, murder and plunder...'
I now hate "pirate enthusiasts" with the same deep and abiding hatred I normal reserve for people who want to teach creationism as science, and any 'Twlight' fan over the age of 14.

Luckily, she hates reruns of 'Friends' as much as I do.
Though she’s lived in Canada for well over thirty years, me Mum is a British citizen. I grew up with Coronation Street on in the background during my lunches home from school. Later on, my sister and father got hooked on the show and they’d watch it after the news as well. All that time, I never paid it the slightest bit of attention.
Then I move ( Read more... ) -
The Internet is for Ranting! The Dresden Files.
Just finished reading ‘Storm Front’, the first in the ‘Dresden Files’ books by Jim Butcher. Notable because the series got turned into a short lived SciFi series a year or so ago.
The book, pretty much felt like the TV series: Nothing we haven’t seen before in things like, Neverwhere, Buffy or Harry Potter. The mundane world is unaware of the ( Read more... ) -
Thinking about the Way.
There is a guy I work with who does karate (can’t remember which kind) fairly seriously. He brings in a flat wooden board, about the size of my hand, and wrapped in thick twine. During down time, he smacks this against his knuckles and shins to deaden the nerves.
How much of an art can it be when you have to kill a part of yourself to do it?
