Cat vs rain
It's been raining fairly steadily here today and I know we've been having a drought and all but the grey cat seems to be having particular difficulties with the concept of water falling from the sky today. This is a cat who hates water and yet has managed to get...
Hope
I am not a terribly political person. I rarely find politics and politicians inspiring, particularly in Australia politics. Kevin Rudd finally saying sorry to the stolen generation was about the only time I've heard an Aussie politician give a speech that gave me...
Made of win
Blatantly snitching this from amazoniowan but she's right, this dude deserves an award. I don't know a lot about singing a capella but four part harmony with yourself on video with added bonus awesome geekery! The force is strong in this one......
It’s a small world
Also known as you never know who knows who on the internet...or six degrees of techno-geekery perhaps. Today I was reading blogs on Google Reader (I am a convert to the blog aggregator concept) and saw that Elizabeth Bear had an interview on Adventures in Sci-Fi...
Change of personnel
So one of the snippets I wrote in the last few days was the beginning of the beginnings of Witch 2. So tonight I figured I'd play around with the collage, see what that might stir up. For Witch 1, my placeholder for the hero was Chris Isaak. As usual not quite right...

Smooth operator
My fridge is working again. Hooray! Cold food. Vegetable crisper. You don't realise how handy they are until they're gone. And I managed not to spill my breakfast all over the kitchen, unlike yesterday (there are mornings when I really miss caffeine lol). To...
Murphy’s law
I have been taking my baby steps back into exercise. Walked on the weekend on both days. Went back to pilates on Monday (which was an exercise in 'ow I used to be able to do this much more easily'). Have been eating healthily and stocked up the fridge with good...
Taking care of business
So daylight savings has started and the days are getting longer and warmer and the thoughts are turning towards exercise and health and the whole weight can of worms. I've been following Jenny Crusie's posts here and here and reading Barbara talking about celebrating...
Status report
Good stuff: Crockpot roast chicken (yum). Daylight savings meaning it is lighter in the evenings. Reading Old Man's War by John Scalzi. My new camera. Look - pretty pictures (even one of grey cat who is notoriously hard to photograph due to being a wriggly beast and...
