Away for a week in Trieste, Italy. We'll see how easy it is for me to get online but failing that, back in a week or so!!

For some reason I remembered about this supposed "history essay" compiled from school student essays with funny mistakes and whatnot in them, and I googled it and here it is.

My poem from this thread wasn't up for a minute before the thread was closed.

I'd like to think I write top notch LiveJournal angst poetry, so I thought I'd share it here.

Off to Melbourne for a few days.

Lately, the girlfriend and I have been to a couple of shows -- the Goodies, and the Kronos Quartet.

It fills the Domain, a large park between the Sydney CBD and the suburb where I live -- thousand of people out in the late summer evening to see a bunch of short films. Somewhere along the way (from its...

I just saw the oddest thing on campus. (Yes, the rarified environment of an inner city university campus.)

A car driving along a narrow campus road, with SMOO WAGON written in large letters across the top of the front windscreen.

("Smoo", in case you're wondering, is a particular Australian vernacular reference to a lady's, um, intimate ladyparts.)

Then, as I watched it go past in...

So I got back from Coffs Harbour after a week up there. It's a lovely part of the world, sub-tropical northern New South Wales, but it's kind of a dull town. But the whole shindig was at a fancy resort (here) and I have to say, there are worse things than a week of that. A few of us did go to a...

Heading up to Coffs Harbour tomorrow for most of the week.

Sometimes my job does suck,

Not likely to be at the computer much, so I'll catch up with you lovely people when I'm back.
