Have fun relocating.

/b

Glad to hear that things will be resuming goodness in your life soon.

I also started painting and repairing my new room at a mates house.
The house was vacant for a long time and the son of the owner used the place for some wicked house parties, raves and doofs. There was at one time, over 800 ppl in the house and back yard.
My room was where the main dancefloor and DJ booth used to be. Currently painting over fluoro graffitti, picking up empty baggies and sweeping up god-only-knows from the floor.
We decided that the carpet was unsalvagable and ripped that out too.

I hope your relocation has less risk of needlestick then mine

It’s good to stay in touch, as the telecomunications adverts would have it. But more importantly, it’s been good to see the things that are normally only accessible through the internet.

I’ve entered the last week of homelessness, finishing on Friday. it hasn’t been too bad. I’ve been fed and watered, washed and sheltered by a combination of friends and family… all of whom have made me feel very welcome and without them I’m not sure I could have coped.

I could turn this into a lecture on how homeless people have a really rough time of things, and that if you should see a homeless person, and have some food or such that you can offer… but this isn’t the place for that, and besides I know everyone here is kind and considerate anyway.

I’m looking forward to retiring my bindle.

In other news, being out and about so much I’ve picked up a couple of new skills. Roofing being one of them. I was fixing a 110-year old slate out-house yesterday.

Happy birthday Justine! i hope you got loads of nice presents and cake and such…

I like the fact that I turn my back for one week and someone or something always breaks the laws of physics.

And Beemoh! You too, congratulations. How does it feel to be so old

Great Joe, I agree, the new Trek was pretty good… I could have done with more Bones though. You ride a tricycle? Aren’t they the devil’s work? Awesome.

And Ben, how was your birthday…. I’m assuming debauched enough? I might have to rename you ‘BenCNN’ as your updates were fantastic. I was able to chat about the whole daylight saving thing as if I actually knew about it. I am very happy that Australia has finally banished chubby kids.

Well, a fuel tanker explodered a few suburbs over, two days ago.

Our state government just spent a shite load of moolah to hold a referendum on whether or not we want day light savings.
531,786 people said no, 426,531 people said yes and the count is still going on from last night, however, it is in the bag for NO.
Both sides were filled with dickheads and wankers, the entire state was polarized and many bitter and spiteful words were exchanged.
Interestingly, both sides of the debate argued that DLS is responsible for childhood obesity.
Personally, I voted NO (would have if I was allowed to vote). Mostly because I think it is a stupid idea. The only reason it was put to the polls was that it was an unimportant issue, but, ppl like to think that they have an effect in what goes on in parliement, forgetting entirely that they elected some one to have an opinion for them so that they would not need to go to the polls for little things like this.
blah I hate democracy.

Swine flu is killing less persons then regular flu does, so, no one really cares about it any more.
Seems that many ppl who were dieing were already ill with some thing else major anyway, so the flu alone didn’t really kill them as such.

This is a spider a friend found in their house. We have a reader here from Adelaide right? If you see one of these, DO NOT lick it, the hairs will make your tongue itchy.

The job market in Perth is looking pretty shitty right now. I suspect that any good jobs are going thru word of mouth and not being advertised.

I hear whisper in the wind of an epic new webcomic. Sneak previews reveal it to be of outstanding quality.

We want news from you too Adam.

A 30yr old american plumber gave birth to his twin brother, in a scene that was describe as being like something out of the first Aliens movie. I personally suspect it was more like some thing out of the scene where I removed a splinter from my thumb last weekend.

In an event that can only be describe as being subtley ironic, termites have been described as a miners best friend. This earnt a uni student a Phd, even tho, Africans have been extracting gold and other minerals from termite mounds for a long, long time now (or longlong if you are talking in pidgen). None of the Africans were given Phd’s.

My writer’s block is even worse but I did some paintings with oil pastels but now I’m out of pastels and I don’t have any money to buy more.

It looks like they put Denzel Washington and John Travolta in a new movie involving a subway train that I hope I never have to see because I hate both those guys. In fact I can’t decide which one I hate more, but I guess Travolta as he is more flagrantly awful.

The new Star Trek was pretty damned good, I was particularly impressed by Karl Urban’s portrayal of Dr. McCoy. Note I am a major Trekkie.

Doctors in Britain are using a patient’s stem cells to grow replacement bones (chin, cheek or jaw) in moulds that are implanted into the back to “grow”.

In my world, I’m still employed, despite being sure I’d be laid off this past week. I’m not sure if I’m disappointed or happy about it though.

The new Amazon Kindle DX is out, to rather unenthusiastic reviews. It’s got a 9.7 inch display, which is suppose to make it good for newspapers and magazines, but they hiked the price to 489 USD for it. Not enough increase in size to justify that expense, in my mind. Maybe if it were full-sheet, and colour, or something.

That’s all I got for the moment. More news as it happens.

I like how those two developments are next to each other. Who knew someone could tire of Robin Wright.

What more could you need to know?

I’d go out on limb and suggest that maybe some idiot using a powertool might have started it.

Fires have been raging in Santa Barbara, CA and the culprit might be a power tool.

Nevermind the use of “boarder” instead of “border” in the first sentence.
