1. I missed March

SPOILERS! (Click to view)
I am at the stage of monthly updates lately, but I couldn't even manage that last month. I'm not exactly sure why. Maybe it didn't help that after spending a lot of January and February away I had things to write about and pictures to show off. Not so much this last 4-6 weeks. Just back...

1. Back Home

SPOILERS! (Click to view)
I got back the other day from a month away. Vietnam pics in last update, and some more pics to follow. Stockholm was the next destination -- quite a contrast, snowy, grey, beautiful. I rugged up in stripey longjohns, a scarf, hat and gloves, and explored the town when I wasn't visiting the Institute that I was...

Have I told you just how fucken awesome you are lately?

steven:
Riders of the Apocalypse. Rain of frogs. Cats and dogs living together in sin.

I picked a lousy week to give up booze.

Update for January 2007

I have been busy doing not much (first few weeks of January), which could fall into the category of recovering from 2006, and have more recently been travelling. This is a three-leg trip: Vietnam again (I'm halfway through a two week stint here) and then on to Stockholm, then finally New Zealand. Back in Sydney mid-February.

Pictures from Hanoi

Your place would make a fantastic poker venue, I must say. Do you have a table on the balcony? That'd be bloody great.

So Sunday the 4th of March? That sounds very good to me.

I'm a poker genius and I plan to get very rich from my skills.

That really sets me up for a deserving and funny beating.

pointblank:
The "Drinking while Pregnant" thread is a brain crusher; i suggest you stay clear.

And Vietnam seems amazing.

I've just had a birthday, as some of you very kindly acknowledged. Thank you all so much. smile

I am not sure I have anything profound to say in this update. That's been kind of an issue lately in general, as I am mostly absorbed with work, fighting fights, managing squabbles and tantrums, and battling for resources. It may be that the year ends well ......

Work is still occupying most of my time and energy, which is other than how I'd like it to be.

So, if you'll all forgive me, something of a lame edit, relying on the simple pleasures of Youtube to keep you entertained in the absence of anything entertaining from me.

I wish I could send you a prize for being the first to say' congratufuckinglations.' And the lyrebird: "copying the sounds of all the other birds around him... that was a camera shutter" what?! Nature. What a trip.

Later and lamer than usual. All I do these days it seems is either work, or fretting about work. I'm very boring these days, more so than usual. I've been worse than usual, if that's possible, at being good at commenting in journals and replying to comments left here. I'm never the best, but I've been really bad lately. Hmmmm.

Man it's just harding fucking graft at the moment, eh? Seems that way for a lot of peeps right now. Must be the planets.

That remake is so good. So good. I must have the mp3 and learn the tabs...once I get a guitar again and actually follow through with learning how to play. blush

And about your girl: I gotta say- not many people get to fall in love with someone they admire and respect. My husband has done some stupid shit in the more than 11 years I've known him- (for instance) But more often than not, he's such a good man. He probably doesn't know it- because I don't do a good enough job telling him but I respect him more than anyone I know. Anyway, you're lucky.
steven:
I feel compelled to advise you that My Chemical Romance are a Queen-aware band and hence rather good

btw you missed your monthly update...

I have been to the far edges of lameness in terms of updating and commenting and replying lately.

This entry will be just random bits of whatever until I decide to go to bed.

Last week was Kyoto. This week and next = Vietnam. I am just a wandering minstrel, and net connectivity is spasmodic, hence my comparative absence/silence around this place.

T-shirts in English in Japan are wonderfully odd. One girl in Kyoto had a very girlie-girl-pink t-shirt with the slogan:

LOVE
ME
BOYS
MY
GIRLS


on the front, and "HONEY" in smaller letters followed by a heart...

Have a good time and safe travels in the Orient (are we still allowed to call it that?) wink

The obligatory 6/6/06 update.

So, I'm curious.

Girls: is this your idea of Good Porn For Women?

I'm genuinely curious.

UPDATE:
My girlfriend, TheFuckOffGirl, aka the She-Beast, who is more than a decade younger than I am ... looks poised to be earning more than me.

Can my male ego take this?!?!?!?! She's pushing six figures.

I'm back, at least for a wee while ... there's no need to talk about where I've been and how I'm doing. I just will be very scarce around these parts, necessarily and unavoidably.

But thanks for missing me smile

Tonight the She-Beast* and I watched "People Like Us", which if you have not seen, you should.

Then she watched some David Attenborough, because the...
