Turning, cooking in its own juices

These last few days have been a bit of a blur.
Had a parents’ meeting for cebs on Wednesday night, then on Thursday, we had a dinner out, and I went into the valley after that to see “The Herd” (Aussie hip-hop crew from around Sydney) play at the Empire hotel. It rocked. I [...]

Losing Interest

Happy Friday to all. I’m oh-my-god-so-grateful that it’s finally here. And I’m guessing I’m not the only one. Leyton finished exams yesterday, so yay for him. He’s coming around for lunch and accounts today, so as they say, no rest for the wicked. Except if we don’t finish lunch and skip the accounts. Then it’s [...]

Day at the Races

Yep, the Treasury Social Club is going to races again and we are looking for people to help make up the numbers.
Here are the details:
Where: Brisbane Turf Club

A Plea

Dammit. My mate has work on Thursday so he can’t go see the gig as hoped. Major bummer.
So, who’s up for some Thursday night aussie-hip-hop shenanigans?

Bye

So I’ve got a bye from uni for today. It’s the second week back for us at QUT (for most of us anyway). The first week back was quite good, except for one class that wasn’t on without any warning. But anyway, I’m over it and my timetable’s starting to look better.
I [...]

Afternoon Tea is Good

Last night, ladies and gentlemen, Tall Tower received it’s first payment. Come, come … let us slaughter a young lamb and feast upon it’s roasted meat to celebrate. There shall be much wine and merriment. Bring your spouses.
Let’s talk briefly of the weekend, before putting it to bed and getting on with the week ahead. [...]

Fax me to the moon

Man, I love risotto. I made one last night that was just the epitome of risotto. I’m enjoying it for lunch right now - it’s not as good as last night, but still very good. It had mushrooms, over-roasted baby-capsicums and African-style lamb sausage. Delicious.
This morning I was out installing some old guy’s computer. Now [...]

Mexican Fiesta

So Thursday night at the Valley was quite a good night. A month ago we were in the valley and met up with Dale and Clare at the Zoo, and while Morg and I were going to get a kebab - becoming somewhat of a tradition - we were talking about how we caught [...]

I’m in London, Still

Alan and Liza’s wedding presented me with what I’ll herein refer to as an “Oh Shit” moment - it was like I could suddenly see me life in the third person, and I could see it so clearly! I mean, don’t worry y’all, I didn’t fall for any of that “love” crap, but I did [...]
