Back in the ussr ... i mean melbourne I always get them confused

just back today from nearly a month of blissfull nothingness in New Zealand. I had a wonderfull holiday sharing my time between my dad and step mum in wellington and my mum in greytown. What did you do on this holiday you ask? Mostly watched the living and food channel, ahh, and occasional bursts of gardening and a serious amount of grazing like a large land mamal (more than a humourous simile believe me).

I had a sojourn to the hawkes bay with me dad to visit cousins that did not even know i existed 'rosie? I don't have a cousin called rosie" but now they know ah hahah ha! And saw my nany which was nice.

Also spent some quality time with my old dog barney, he is the snore of king kong in the peter jackson motion picture. He is a cool old dog, very old now.

And of course all my wonderful siblings were around for festivus minus shaun and will in london (that is not really all is it? most anyway)

Now I am back and warm and happy and I am going to go for a swim without fear of hypothermia which is always reassuring.

whitesnake - here i go again

Best ever! I love you jasmina!

melbourne vs wellington

I am at work in the shop today, sitting with the big fan pointed right at me.

I just checked the temperature on the internet, it is 41 degrees here in melbourne.

Then I checked for wellington ( i will be there soon) is is 14 degrees in welly right now.

What the hell is going on? why can't anywhere get it right! Welly better heat up before I get there, arg!

Fleeting Freedom!

On monday I handed in my last little bitch of assesment for the semester, hoorah!!

I am celebrating by eating a lot of porridge.

I ate a lot of porridge before too though...


However my freedom is fleeting, I am doing a spring elective starting this monday in espanol (that is spanish for spanish in case you did not know). Although this is back to the drudge I am happy because it is only 3 weeks long and it the same points value as a whole semester elective and I love Spanish and it will be so different from design work it will be like a holiday anyway.

At the end we will have a test! A test!

Haiku for Cables

Jasmine wrote this Haiku for me about cables:

devotion bordering on obsession
a thick rope of wire or nonmetallic fiber
a cable by any other name
