Time to begin

November 4th, 2008

It was all meant to be so good- we’ve celebrated Franki and Carl’s wedding- it was such a gorgeous and relaxed wedding. She’s truly a beautiful bride.

Spring is here

September 3rd, 2008

It arrived all of a sudden. Now my wonderful business suite seem useless, I’ve left my coat at home, and the numbers on the scales are making me nervous.

Meanwhile, I don’t know if it was the fireworks on the weekend, but the city itself has taken on a lease of life as well. People look happier, they are dressed brighter and even the pedestrian traffic is moving faster.

Extingushed

August 27th, 2008

It’s funny how the mundane and extreme can bore us.

I’ve had a few late nights and dsiruption to my schedule- which has slowed me down a little. MIL’s surgery and prognosis is good, Dad’s back in the country for a couple of weeks before jetting off and my contract is slowly coming to an end.Took some interesting pics on the weekend, but waiting for the files (I love borrowing memory cards).

This weekend should be creative with Tiger banana cupcakes, riverfire and a bridesmaid dress fitting all on the cards- I might even squeeze in Hellboy 2, which I’m itching to see.

Funny story- my mother is a little concerned about my dad’s trip, even after 12 years of divorce- she rang up tonight with a warning about organ farmers. I know it was genuine concern, and she means well- let’s just say she was insistent and I will warn him.

Heart of the city

August 25th, 2008

Even though I’ve lived in Brisbane on and off for over 10 years- I never feel like I’ve got to the heart of the city until now. I ran through the city on my way to work for over 3 years, and I like to come in occasionally, but I’ve never really had a good reason to spend sometime really getting to the heart of the place. It’s about more than shopping, although no one can argue the shopping in the city is so much better.

Bubbling over

August 18th, 2008

It seems that my brain is bubbling over at the moment. I’m not sure why.

Knock wood, I’m hoping the flood gate have burst and my little bit of creative block is over. I’ve got a whole list of blogging and photo topics to think about, but while my brain is ticking away, let me share with you some of my thoughts.

Brakes and breaks

July 16th, 2008

It seems something always puts the brakes on what I want to do. I was sick through to Tuesday- brakes on skating and the new job.

Already I’ve broken my promise to walk and record. I missed the perfect photograph. Instead of being grateful I’m feeling a little unloved and resentful.

I wish I could be more postitive about this positivity thing :)

Changes

July 15th, 2008

It’s been a while. I guess 2008 is going to be one of those years- not one thing, but lots of little things eating away at me. Like being nibbled to death by ducks.

So I’m trying to change- change me, my habits, my situation, my mood. That’s hard.

So today I …..

  • started my new job
  • recorded my feelings
  • walked
  • wondered
  • photographed
  • talked to a stranger
  • met new challenges positively.

They are little steps, but indeed a start.

Tomororow I will…

  • walk
  • record
  • and be grateful

Sex in suburbia

June 5th, 2008

No excuses about being slack- it’s the same old same old, same reasons for pic of the day; although I have have mobs to upload.

What has brought me out o my winter slumber is reflection on how I am changing and mellowing over time, highlighted in particular, by a lot of undue hype about a particular movie. Continue reading »

Paralysed by tabs- a true story

April 20th, 2008

Well, it’s getting late on a Sunday afternoon, and there’s still a pile of marking staring at me. I’m feeling rather chipper thought- because I’ve worked my way through a paralysing number of tabs on my desktop.
It might seem strange to suggested that a number of links to website would leave me lost, but they have, for weeks. I’ve had them there- cluttering up firefox, while below, I do my current work.
That’s as far as I can explain, but I feel incredibly unburdened by doing so.
I’ve also done a few other (computing) odd jobs to day, including setting up and redirecting the team website- Filed under Life, Nerd-dom | Comment (0)

Re-evaluating
