My group went bowling today at the Strike on Wolfe. It’s been there for a while now, and I’ve always been intrigued, but I wasn’t sure if it’d be anything like the Australian ones, or what the clientelle would be like (knowing Cupertino :( )… anyway, turns out it’s much like the Australian ones, excepting… Read more
My plans for the brief Christmas break are still very much… intangible. As I think I’ve bemoaned previously, most people I know here are buggering off to all over the place to visit family and all that, which makes the prospect of a ski trip to Tahoe or similar – alone – rather unpalatable.

We just had an earthquake. Not a damaging one, but enough to shake the room, rattle blinds, knock [precariously placed] stuff off shelves, etc. It certainly gets the heart going a bit, though… now I get to sit here and wonder if that was just the precursor to something bigger, or not… And already there’s… Read more
