Coming in at night as well as the day is a complete waste … the net result is that during the day you’re too tired to do anything anyway. I’m like a zombie.
Major HBs to Woo and Rhys today. Man, we got Woo an awesome present - I think he will crap himself when he sees it. That’s the goal, anyway.
Bryce came over to chill and share dinner. I turned leftovers into an amazing feast last night, was hella good. Tried not to leave too much mess, but I figure that with the cleaners coming today to clean my apartment, I didn’t need to knock myself out.
I hate ants. Really, really hate them. I heard recently that ants will never cross a chalk line. Is this true? Can anyone verify this? If so, I’m thinking of attacking the underside of all of my kitchen with discrete chalk markings. I’ll let you know.
I desperately, desperately want a new digital camera. One with a zoom, preview screen, and rechargable battery. Will I be able to buy myself one for christmas? I hope so, but I’m not sure if I can wait that long.
Having lunch with Leyton today. I’m by myself at the office which sucks at the moment. I think Carla’s coming in later this morning, but I can’t be sure. I called Energex to bitch about the hot water situation this morning, or more specifically, the lack of it. Ah, shower in a can, how you saved me.

On ants and digital cameras:
I don’t know about chalk lines, but I know ants hate talcum powder. HATE it. And it could make your kitchen smell nice at the same time.
To whet your lust for a digital camera Deano, try this link: http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/compare.asp
I’m sure a web ninja such as yourself would have found it soon enough, but it might save you some time.

Hey ya……yes ants won’t cross chalk lines…but from my experience when I lived in Cally…my land lord used to go to an asian market and get a sort of blue chalk that was specifically used to chalk out ants….and I’m telling you it was amazing! It worked alright. I haven’t tryed regular chalk but I can’t figure really what the difference may be. Give it a try!

Thanks for the comments, guys. I’ve tried the talcum powder before, and it worked great, except the ants just find another way in. grrrrrrrrrrrr
Yeah I’ve seen that link, Dave
I even know which one I want … Pentax Optio S. $699 from Rainer’s in town, and they’ll give me a trade-in on my SLR. The question that I’m struggling with is: do I want to give up my old SLR? I don’t think I do.
