Mornington High, 1969

Today I came around to nana & pop’s again, browsed the web for a while, checked my email – all the usual. Chris arrived unannounced – albeit not entirely unexpected, given he’d mentioned potentially coming down today when I last saw him, last week – and together with pop we set about cleaning up the… Read more

The Old Computers

A bit before Christmas I decided it was time to get rid of all the old computer crap that’s filling up two closets, half a wardrobe, and the back corner of the study. There’s nothing wrong with any of it – a whole range of ancient Macs, printers, a pristine Apple OneScanner, Zip drives, hard… Read more

What Men Want

So who’s the female equivalent of Mel Gibson suitable for such a movie? Courtney Love? :P Anyway, Brett’s gone and darn well set me off again on a little rant, courtesy of his Ultimate Sex Appeal Item blog entry, to which my comment is: It’s a common fallacy amongst women that sexiness is directly proportionate… Read more

Return to the Beach

Yesterday started off pretty lazily – I worked through the middle of the day sitting out on the deck with dad & Jens while they did crosswords and whatnot. But it was such a nice day, I couldn’t spend all of it just sitting around. I messaged Sket & Bobo to see if they wanted… Read more
