Feelgood fuzzy inducing video for the day

November 29, 2006

Tracey linked to this video first in her blog and I’m shamelessly following her lead here. Go to her to find out the history behind the piece, because its a great example of clever entrepreneurship. Otherwise, just enjoy. [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bNF_P281Uu4]

My world is full of blighted goals and promises

November 28, 2006

Well, I’m going to chock in a few posts today, in case I don’t get a chance to over the next few days, while I wrestle with mum’s technology. I mentioned my sister is staying this week, and accompanying us part-way on our leg home on the planes. During her stay, I was going to [...]

My Christmas has come early! (and perhaps my birthday too…)

November 28, 2006

I’d been hoping this would happen before we went away. We all went for a drive this morning and came home to see the mail had already come. Poking out of the mailbox was a crudely folded magazine, wrapped in plastic. I’d been told it was coming out sometime this week or next. I unwrapped [...]

Generation Gap: Or, “When I feel old”

November 27, 2006

My Sister: “Since when has there been a new introduction to Play School?”Me: “This has been the introduction for ages”“Well, I haven’t watched for ages. I work, you know”Me, getting huffy: “I work too, you know”“I work away from the TV set” That made me think, well she has a point. If I was going [...]

Does this increase or decrease my credibility?

November 26, 2006

Thanks to Schmutize, again, I have found a little badge with which to adorn my blog. Not that it’s the most flattering one ever, but it is quite timely as I was celebrating just the other day how my Technorati ranking has jumped 90,000 places in just the past six weeks or so, and now [...]

For anyone looking for a bit of joy in the festive season

November 25, 2006

Here in Melbourne, Myers (our version of Bloomingdales?) have a very famous window display that is uncovered every year by B-lister celebrities and people, baffingly, queue up hours to see it. These Koalas below were part of the display until they were taken down due to complaints about their…questionable…activity. For the record, they’re supposed to [...]

List time equals fun times for all

November 24, 2006

I stole this from Teena who got it from The Crazy Rants of Samantha Burns who saw it over at Diane’s Stuff, who got it from Skye who got it from Renaissance Blogger. The idea is simple … copy, bold the things you’ve done and post. Here are mine:01. Bought everyone in the bar a [...]

‘Things I don’t understand’ Friday

November 23, 2006

I don’t know what’s wrong with me. I don’t seem to have found a kernel of absurdity that I need to write down in what’s normally my rant-reserved day of the week. Don’t get me wrong; the usual weirdness has gone on in the world. Studios green-light movies such as Santa Clause 3 and yet [...]
