  • Sam Kekovich goes to the United Nations

    Sam Kekovich goes to the United Nations. I know that my vegetarian friends are probably sick of these ads, but I’ll admit they give me a giggle. (The one where he says “My fellow Australians: The world economy is ROOTED!” actually made me laugh out loud.) I’m really looking forward to putting some lamb on the barbie for Australia Day this year…

  • Top Rated Jobs

    Whoa. According to this CareerCast.com list, I have the third best job in the world. (I moved up from web developer, which is #15.)

  • Carl Sagan’s Apple Pie

    Carl Sagan’s Apple Pie. I bet that inventing the universe is actually easier than getting our crappy oven up to temperature.

  • Tiger Muffins

    Tiger Muffins. Awww, I predict Eva will love those…

    @gilmae Are you talking about our game? Because I do that all the time.

    @gilmae Lucky for you my set of letters is only useful for making words in Russian. MY KINGDOM FOR A FRICKIN’ VOWEL!

    I hate when the doctor’s reception “forgets” to tell me he’s running an hour late. I didn’t have to leave work early after all.

  • Roller Skates

    Did you own a pair of these roller skates? I own a pair EXACTLY LIKE THAT. I really should take them skating, but I have no idea where I can skate in Sydney. (Also, I really want to go to that Powerhouse exhibition.)

    Someone set fire to a tree in Chippo today. http://bit.ly/5Mqzfu Why?

    The thing that occupied my afternoon: http://twitpic.com/xhnvn. Yep. 200L of manure.

  • Weekend Recap

    Friday night the Snook and I met up after work for an early dinner at Baja Cantina. Every time we’ve been lately they’re full up, but luckily they managed to squeeze us in. (I hate local restaurants that take bookings; it should only be fancy places!) I had an excellent pork chimichanga, while the Snook had the chicken molé. I spent the rest of the night preparing for Saturday’s Guild meeting. We got up super early Saturday and drove the GoGet wagon over to Flemington Markets. We needed more supplies from Ace Ohlsson for the garden, and we also stopped in at Bunnings Ashfield on the way home for compost. Back in the city, I headed off for the Guild meeting. We had 40 people again! It was a good meeting (though I worry that I overmoderate). Afterwards Rose and Geraldine (the other Guild officers) and I met up to work out the workshop schedule for the rest of the year. By the time I got home, I was bushed. I ended up zonking out on the couch for most of the afternoon! Sunday was dedicated to work in the garden. The full update will probably be a post of its own, but basically we pulled out a few dead/old plants, mixed up a new batch of Mel’s Mix, topped up our planters, laid down mulch over everything, and planted a few new things. All on an extremely hot day! I also managed a 6.5km run at midday, and we did a big shop at Broadway in the evening. And people wonder why I always look tired on Monday mornings…
