Prepping: for yet another job interview. I actually very much want this one ... which makes it all the worse. It's tomorrow morning, first thing. Man, it'd be good to know what I'm going to do with the year before, say, February kicks off.

Reading: Salman Rushdie's Midnight's Children. I've been meaning to for years and have just started. As expected, I'm loving it already.
Spending my Sundays feeding homeless cats. They are so sweet and adorable. Last week two of my favourites found new homes. I see my future: it involves a crazy old lady with too many cats.

steven:
Ima Shiduni-wa nanji desu ka?
If it's any consolation, consider how bad their english is:
Housing in Canberra is probably worse than Sydney. Haven't shopped around their lately, but it's hard to imagine anything worse than this.

Breathing: a sigh of relief. My Mum had been staying for the last 10 days. Yesterday, I saw her off on her flight to NZ. I love her but 10 days of her in my house was enough. More. Than.
Loving: the new year. 2005 sucked bad. 2006 is going to be better, I can feel it.
Asking: what great loot did you rake in...

Looking forward to seeing you today/tonight, hopefully 
dogslife:
Just had an excellent 3-hour session in which we re-wrote the first and most of the second act. As the 4th act can stand as-is (and "act" is a loosely used term--the whole play coming in under an hour) we're breathing a bit easier.
Bawling: my eyes out. But in a good way - my sister is pregnant.
Planning: the Xmas menu. It's going to be a seafood Xmas, I think.
Reading: the weekend Sydney Morning Herald. My newspaper subscription ran out a month or 2 ago so I've been reading news online. I forgot how much I prefer reading the broadsheets spread out over the dining table with...

Gathering: my courage. I have to get a tetnus shot today and I'm not looking forward to it.

I've lost contact with many of my HS classmates
It sucks
Luxuriating: in 4 days at home. The weather is warming up, Xmas plans are in the works, and the recent panic re my current joblessness is settling down. Life's good. Bring on '06.
Searching: for a good/interesting recipe for home-make chocolates. Anyone?
Loving: making dodgy movies. Could spend all day doing this.

Do you think the ballast provided by the beers will competely dampen the noisy fridge resonance, or will it also need lubrication as others have suggested?

Reckon I have a recipe for chocolate-coated chillis somewhere ... let me dig around.

No luck with the recipe, sorry
However I have acquired an extra-large bucket of water based UltraLube and will apply a liberal quantity to my fridge, all its contents and what the heck the stove as well, per your advice. I hope you're right about this...

shayne:
just think about the advantages... how often do you get to have so much time to get the things done that need doing? You'll probably spend the rest of your life working... so enjoy the lull while it lasts.
Can you pay your rent? ... if the answer is yes, then you're fine.
That's my attitude for the time being. Once I start to wonder if I'll be able to come up with the money... then we'll talk
