It is 28.5 degrees C with 74% humidity. This is painful.

Needless to say I am no longer outside and have my air conditioner on. Seems like Christmas will be another bastardly hot one like four or five years ago when my cousins were up from Brisbane. It was horrible. The heat, I mean, not having my relatives up.

Cool shower time.

The hat in question. It is a Christmas present but Mum decided there's little point in having a hat and not using it since we got it mostly because I don't have one and now I'm working I walk in the sun a lot. Plus after Christmas I might not have a job anymore depending if I'm renewed again.

I have a cavity in a tooth. Damn. I think I can blame work for that. I never managed to brush my teeth until after work which was 3 or 4 in the morning so tea and desserts were milling about for a good ten hours.

The way they were talking it sounded like tonight was the last night but there's tonight and Sunday/Monday next week by the look of it. Excellent. Of course, they'd be finished by now if they hadn't taken it off for over a month. Mongrels. No matter. We get it and that's what matters. Which is more than we can say for Season 4 Farscape or Melbourne ( Read more... )

Quite a few days ago we got lots of rain. It was lovely. Even a little storm too.

Here's a picture of Tuesday evening near sunset.

The ever talented sole_confined took many pictures around the place recently and I felt that I should show off my lovely town. Specifically the Kershaw Gardens on the highway. Be advised they are a little bigger because they're 'landscapes'.

In a rare mood yesterday evening, I decided to hire the last two The Matrix films. Not the best investment, as it turns out. I have the strange sense that the overall theme might have had something to do with Choice but I can't really be sure. ;)

I don't exactly wish I had chosen a different movie as it completed the series, but I wouldn't exactly ( Read more... )

I watched The Day After Tomorrow yesterday. It was better than I expected but still fairly ordinary and done-before in many respects. One thing to say in its defence is that the events have a meaning, they don't just happen like other armageddon films. Armageddon, Volcano, Twister... All natural events that just occur for no good reason but to make ( Read more... )

I am hiding in my room because my brother is home sick and making awful sounds over the toilet followed by the occasional little splashing sounds ( Read more... )
