Home by proxy

This morning I was running errands before work, so I decided to – finally – check out the Aussie importers store just down the road. It put me in a good mood straight up as I parked outside, seeing the sign: Nice. :D Inside was about what I expected – way too many boomerangs and… Read more

Stinky clean

It took two hours, but my bathroom is finally clean[er] again. I suspect I can no longer have children, but, such is the price of cleanliness. You know those houses you visit where you use the bathroom, and there’s grime and crap around – it’s not filthy, but it’s a little nasty. I walked into… Read more

Goodbye, cruel edu

It appears that La Trobe has finally shut down my student email account… it’s possible their server’s just bjorked at the moment, but, I suspect it’s for real this time. So, time for the final laggards to move to my newer email addresses.

However, at about 8:50am I suddenly realised I hadn’t set my phone’s clock forward, so it was… Read more

New Zealand Day 0

Cairns

So, my recent trip to Australia. The flight over wasn’t too bad, all told – I was way up the back of the plane, in the middle seats, so I had nothing to look at but the seat in front. So I watched the Chaser or whatever on my phone, for a bit… watched Die… Read more
