how far we've come, my god, you and i skipping and tripping through existence. you and i and six billion other versions of me crawling across the earth's crust like mould over orange skin. how much we know; how little we know. we can launch a jet of metal and flesh into the clouds and make it fly as a giant bird of gleaming white, as we rest inside ( Read more... )

I shouldn't laugh, but I'm reviewing a pile of 'Serious Adverse Event' forms and infront of me there is a reported case of 'Occult Cancer'. In the same pile is an equally funny report of 'unknown inflammation of the fifth left leg finger'. Sounds dreadfully inconveniant ( Read more... )

Well I'm back from my holiday. I only took one photo, at Adelaide airport on my return trip. The toilets were near the departure lounge and on the door of the female toilets I read the most wonderful sign...

Adelaide Airport uses recycled water

OKAY! I'm selling my gym bike because I go to a gym now and therefore don't need it.

I scratched at my scalp with bitten nails and wondered what it looked like underneath all that hair. I was standing at the bus station on a damp afternoon, everything a touch too warm for comfort. For a while I pondered shaving my head to reveal the skin underneath - no doubt scarred and blemished from years of a nasty habit, that abrasive ( Read more... )

*good sigh* I've nearly finished my first week as a full time office girl, it's great. My offical title is 'research assistant & data manager' and the work is more interesting than it sounds. I've also taken on some nursing duties, so I spend about an hour a day spinning blood samples and then decanting them into different vials or making ( Read more... )

Ahhh it appears Lesley and I finally have found a place to live! I got a very energetic voicemail last night ranting about massive rooms and a massive bathroom and massive kitchen and massive living room; massive seemed to be the theme, really. I'm just glad it's central (northbridge!) so I won't have to catch eleventy-three buses and trains to get ( Read more... )
