I went and saw Keku's Story, the egyptian exhibit at the QLD museum the other day. It cost $11 for an adult so it was a trifle pricey. I miss my student card ( Read more... )

I hear you ask? Well maybe you didn't but I'll tell you anyway. City of Villains ate my brain. One of my flatmates got me into a 14 day trial and it's been sucking what little life I have left away since I got back from Armidale, around the illness and computer type issues (I can get usually two missions done before my video card overheats and then ( Read more... )

It appears that the ash and tar-pit strewn expanse of my lung cavities was fertile ground for the culturing of the vile armidale plague-flu. The weekend was great, and I came away from it with no serious injuries which is always a plus. In fact most of my war-wounds were developed on the friday afternoon when I was practicing in front of the ( Read more... )

I've been hitting the Sunday markets at Rocklea of late and been buying up books for my new bookshelf and plants for the front rooms and garden. Last sunday I managed to score a romanian printed edition of the Complete Works of W.Shakespeare. It doesn't have a printing date on the back of the first page, judging by the general look of the pages and ( Read more... )

Since I have Saffron on the brain for some reason, I can't help but mentioning that ol' Mrs Reynolds of Firefly fame reminds me of one of my friends (in looks rather than personality) that I haven't caught up with in ages. Isn't that funny how things remind you of people you knew/know. One day when I'm old and wrinkly there will be no new faces, ( Read more... )

My current obsession for Firefly/Serenity has no bounds, it abands across rolling green plains with nary a care in the world, caparisoned in rose petals and glittering with silver longing ( Read more... )
