Recapping: my weekend. It was more bizarre than usual, I think you'll agree...
Reeling: from the sheer tragic-ness of the karaoke I witnessed at the '80s-themed 30th b'day party I attended. Watching my cousin-in-law and nanna-in-law attemtp to harmonise while singing "I'm not a girl / not yet a woman" a la Britney Spears was somewhat traumatic.

Reading: Michael Marshall Smith's Spares. I've read it before but had forgotten how much I like his worlds. It's just about the last of the summer reading I can do. As of March 7, it'll be back to uni texts. And first year texts at that - I'm tutoring a fresh set of noobies this year. A nice change from second year tutoring and...

I like your idea about the ugly babies. If I ever lose my mind and procreate, I'll keep that one in mind.
I teach an introductory writing class (part of my grad student peon duties.) We focus on argumentative writing.

Listening: to my cat trill. Seriously, she sounds like a budgie. She spends a significant period of every day just walking around my study trilling at me. It's not normal and it kinda freaks me out.
Waiting: for inspiration to hit me. I need to get this chapter finished but I'm...
Suffering: from a bad case of writers' block. Dammit.

Yep! You just plug it in and when it asks you to update you choose Autofill and there is something to check about "replace all songs" or something like that. 
Celebrating: that my submission for a chapter in a collected essays publication called something like "Parades and Protests" has been accepted. Bring on the fame and notoriety that will inevitably follow. *snicker*
Scheduling: the actual writing of the essay itself. Yeah, I did the whole put-in-the-submission-before-actually-writing-the-piece, trick. Still, it's not due 'til November so I've got plenty of time... (famous last words, anyone?)

oh i always get so giddy when i find out that people have had me bookmarked. giddy giddy.
it was actually a reflection on my six years of photographing protests and where i see myself and my photography in terms of the north american protest movement (toronto and new york, to be specific, although i was raised in the peace movement on the west coast of canada). i also talked a lot about the progression of my protrest photography and how i approach it now. i'm in an undergrad photography program, so our thesises (sp?) aren't nearly as academic as those done by people in other programs.

Oh man, I've been sitting here all day....I think I can feel my bones rotting.....
congrats on the acceptance, btw!
I`m glad you didn`t abandon SG afterall, I know how you feel tho.

Retracting: that last entry. I'm not cancelling my account. I do still enjoy certain aspects of SG and the cost is just not that big a deal so I'm staying.
Cancelling: my SG account. Just doesn't seem much worth the $ anymore - I hardly look at the sets and don't really have the urge to contribute to the groups or boards in any significant way. If you'd like to stay in touch - hit that contact tab and I'll get the email.
Wishing: everyone the best.

Aww... but SG is fun! Maybe!

Take care girl!!!
Watching: the Australian Open. I'm talking a good 5hrs of tennis a day. That shit is addictive.
Lusting: after Marat Safin, the Russian millionaire playboy tennis star. Sure, I'm gay but that man is so spunky he'd turn anyone.
Qualifying: that last statement. It's actually a big deal that I find anyone attractive at the moment. I'm going through a prudish stage in which sex...

Clicking: "send" on that f**king report. It comes in at just under 120 pages long and 41K words. Now let's hope they publish it!
Googling: my first girlfriend. Turns out she had an art show in Melbourne just before I was down there. Might have to look her up and get in touch... I feel the past, lately. *sigh*
Wearing: tracky-dacks and an old t-shirt....

If I could get away with murder it would be because it was someone I didn't know. That's right: the world becomes slightly safer with every, "Hi, my name is..." I hear.
starcandy:
I love the way that entry was written. I so may copy that one day. That's if you don't mind of course.
Completing: the LJF report. Some of you might remember me talking about this ages ago. It's a report on the use of Forum Theatre as a community legal education technique for recently arrived migrants and refugees from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds now residing in Sydney's western suburbs on issues of domestic violence and how the law deals with it in Australia. I'd forgotten how...

thanks! although ball point doesn't really last well in the sunlight. i killed a few pictures before i started putting them under uv glass. 
shayne:
I did that too! I pulled everything out of every drawer, shelf, cupboard .. all of it. and it sparkles and is perfect and beautiful and sanitary and neat. We made a day of it, cleaning in our underwear and trying not to get.. um. distracted.
Enjoying: being home. Two weeks of holidaying was great but I missed my space, my cats, my 'puter, my bed. Especially my bed.
Appreciating: my Chrissy loot. I did very well: CDs I've wanted for ages; candle holder; candles for said candle holder; beautiful framed photo of my sister; mortar and pestle (very much desired!); make-up brushes; Taboo board-game. And other bits and bobs.
Lamenting:...

hehe have a wicked new years and hope everything goes to plan for ya in the new year!Resisting: the urge to eat coco-pops for breakfast. There's nothing good for you in them but they beckon to me, fuck'em.
Watching: my neighbour prep a chicken. From scratch. By which I mean, it was there, feathers, head, feet and all about 10mins ago but has now been plucked, washed, had its innards pulled out, and is waiting on a chopping block. I've never seen...

I confess to a mild addiction, mostly subsumed, for Cap'n Crunch. *hangs head in shame*
Happy holidays to you too, lovely one.

don't feel too bad i had mock-pepperoni pizza, smarties and pop for breakfast. all hell is let loose during the holidays
I'm thinking maybe going out and dancing and mingling might be good for me too. Apparently I missed an old friend spinning electro on the weekend. sad.
