So, today was a productive day. Nicole came over at 10 for work on our paired lesson on space. Mum and Dad were expecting Gary, and he arrived shortly after. We managed to get a few hours solid work in before a hefty lunch of lasagne and salad. Getting back to work after eating is always hard, and this was no exception. We did get it done though, so that’s all good. We’ve just gotta practise our delivery now.

Then after that, I went into uni to do some printing. Some of you may or may not be familiar with a program available on the internet called “Rasterbator”. It takes a picture you upload and blows it up to be poster-sized. I had a few photos in mind, and thought “I’ll only print one out and see how it goes”, because I thought the printers would take ages, but they all printed out (some were full A4 pages of solid black, and in the vicinity of 15 pages) surprisingly quickly, so I printed all four of them. Much quicker, better looking and cost effective than printing on our bubblejet - it barely woulda made it through 1 page before crapping out.

So one is of Jess and I in a recording room at a mate’s house - very cool, another is of a full shelf of beer from when I went to Rocky - for the fridge door, one is of Chazzy in his kennel and it’s so dam cute - I think it’ll reside above my computer when my room’s set up properly. and the last one, which is the only one in colour, is of a dancing Elvis on the dash of the old corolla. It’s pretty dang cool too Not sure where I’ll put all of them, but I’ll dam well find a place.

And so Jess came over cos I wanted to show her the pic of us, and she was well impressed.

Oh, and in regards to the title, I received in the mail a lovely “Mobility pack” from the suppliers of my laptop. It was advertised on their website as having bluetooth, when it shouldn’t, so in compensation for their cock-up, they sent me this stuff: Carry case, notebook mouse, flash drive, and maybe something else that I can’t remember. But it’s all really well made - the carry strap rings and buckles are made of real metal, the handle is nicely padded, and it generally seems well made. So, altogether, a really cool day.
