Much joy. I spent the weekend up in Yeppoon at a conference. It wasn't half bad.. although busy and at some points a bit full of hangover. So, in lieu, I took yesterday off (well a few hours at least) and went to see my family. Little Lolly is so precious, even when she's not feeling well. She does this off thing though where occasionally she ( Read more... )

Chivalry is on vacation. We'll at least that's what it seems like today. I decided to continue my personal commitment to the environment and catch public transport today, despite having three different places to go to. It all worked out really well. Except when I was on to the train heading home, an older lady hopped on. She used the rails to hop ( Read more... )

In my last post I wrote that "like who cares if I get sick". OMG, I so do care now. I have given up most of my weekend to sickness. Silver Fox was a sweetie and come over yesterday so we could go shopping together.. we'll actually more like me shopping and him providing great company. I ended up buying a new pair of running shoes ( Read more... )

Can you believe it? Mother energy drink is on sales at Coles at the moment for only 50c per can. I am in heaven. I didn't want to look like a freak yesterday, so I only bought 15 cans. Don't worry, I stockpile them and I only drink 1 a day and only on weekdays. I'm planning to go back and buy even heaps more. I have a feeling though that this means ( Read more... )

I'm a bit beffudled this week.. partly I think cause I've got a lot of different things happening which are simultaneously competing with my desire to read Harry Potter. Evil! Not much to update. My jaw didn't shatter from surgery, my facial palsy dread was unfounded. Just been spending time with Silver Fox, going to parties, heading to free, yes ( Read more... )

I think it's officially time to form an opinion Re: the Linebreaks I've been wearing (Linebreaks are sort of like skins.. sports compression garments.. but a different brand). I've given them a go for a few months on my morning runs. OK, well first testimonial is that I never did regular morning runs before now (or only with discomfort when I ran ( Read more... )

The whole water crises makes me think more and more of Frank Herbert's Dune. BTW, does anyone who actually read the books (unlike me who just watched the movies and played the computer game) know what people ate on Arrakis?

Finally my honours article got published. Only took 4 years ( Read more... )

I am so brave. On Friday I went and had 6 fillings done at the dentist. It all worked out fine in the end. Then straight to my podiatrist appointment, which went well. The rest of the week was pretty great too. I got a 2nd supervisor for my PhD, which is cool. I also managed to find a replacement for myself for Q-Health, so I start at the prison on ( Read more... )
