Rethinking Autism

I’m sure these videos will do more to convince the general population that there isn’t actually a link between vaccines and Autism than logic and reason and well-researched papers ever could *sigh* More here…

We survived

Survived the lamb attacks.

Married and grey

Or married and gay. My sim just proposed at the rip old age of 87 days to a hot little number (also greying) named Fatima, who has now moved in and taken on her surname…. She has also become a bit of an artiste in her old age, as the garden failed… I still aim read more..

Rain rain

I don’t think I’ve had so many rainy days as this in Canberra since I’ve been living here… Give me back my cold sunny winter days! 1 more day til school holidays. I swear I’ve had a week-long headache counting it down… Nearly there! Rumours of staffing movements abound – fortunately not involving me…

New Month, New Wallpaper

Currently trying to find my July desktop over at Smashing Magazine. Something to make me smile through the month at home and at work. Sometimes I have two different ones, but usually I stick with one, and leave it for the month. 2 more days of term left, then I have 7 days leave, 3 days read more..

Next time, Gadget

No level 3 position for me this time. But I’ve been deemed as suitable, which means they can use this recruitment round to keep filling positions for the next 12 months if they so wish. Not exactly sure where in the bottom 4 (ie top 3 got permanent, 4th got a contract) but some place…. read more..

She wore red shoes

Had a job interview today, applying for one of the new positions (at a higher level than I am now) promised to us in the May budget. Yes, they pushed it through fast – it’s not even passed as a bill yet! Like my shoes? They’re redder in real life. If I get the job, I’ll read more..

Old Photos

So, who wants to see me aged about 3? One of my cousins uploaded a heap of family pics from my Dad’s side to facebook. Gotta love scanners and the internet :) Nanna! One of my incredibly cool cousins on his skateboard. Dad with a league trophy that I remember playing with as a kid. My grub of a read more..

Pink Guitar Hero

So, I bought Sims 3 yesterday. Made an experimental Fiona sim. She has some cool purple hair and glasses, but I forgot to edit some other stuff, so now she wants a rock career. So she bought a pink guitar. She’s as clumsy as me – fortunately she can’t afford much furniture, so she’s only tripping read more..

Burn.

Ahh, my first real experience of Canberra’s firecracker availability over the June long weekend. I thought I’d taken a photo, but that wasn’t of fireworks, since I can never get good shots of that. Instead, it was of a shopping trolley filled with sticks, leaves and yellow-pages, with a few crackers thrown in, set alight read more..

Sunday Mutterings

Feeling a little slow from a lot of wine last night, so Unconscious Mutterings is about my speed… Hockey :: roos Twirling :: The aliens from the Simpsons becoming president Montreal :: Morn. Another Simpsons ref Better :: harder better faster stronger New :: for old replacement Rally :: the troops Stanley :: knife USB :: christmas read more..

Wonder Wall

It’s one of those weeks at work. Half way though term, racing towards mid-year, and everyone is walking around in a tired daze. Not completely dazed, they’re still churning through their work, rushing from client to client, tapping out reports at 8am, over lunch or after five… with the part-timers starting to take work home, read more..

June.

So. June is here. This means a few things… May is over. I can write May off as a dumb month without a computer and with too much illness. It’s winter. I can officially complain about it being cold. Job applications are due. June 11. Now that I have my computer back I can write these sorts of read more..

Tokidoki!

I now own these boots. Life is good :)

New Toy

Aside from having Rish back (yay!), I also have a new toy :) I got a new phone on the weekend before last, and coated it with a purple devil skin from Smiggle… It WAS a red E63 til then, and I’m posting from it now. Question: is there a better way to post to wordpress read more..

Looking up

Barely a sniffle these past few days, aside from battling with a red curry last night :) Went with friends for dinner and then to see Gomorrah at Dendy. I can’t believe I’ve not been to Dendy in the Canberra Centre until now – the seats are so comfy! And wide! :) The movie was hard read more..

missed me missed me

(now you’ve got to kiss me) *waves* Still alive. Still sniffling. Trying to lose my voice at work – Monday I was really struggling by my last kid of the day “i’m not talking over you, I can’t”… Work is very very busy, I have a to-do list a mile long and I don’t think I’ve put it read more..

Catching Up

Apparently I’m running in the mother’s day classic 5k tomorrow. I had a gym session on Thursday (light weights session which I kept getting dizzy in) but I haven’t really don’t any other “exercise” as such since about 3 weeks ago when I ran my last 5km (that was my best time to date, read more..

?A daily grind

Okay, here’s one for Huong :) Tracey, over at _sh1ft.org is promoting doing a Day in the Life which is making me reminisce about the “Daily Grinds” we used to do where we would photograph our perfectly boring days, and perhaps find each others’ interesting for the food we ate or perhaps the fact that we read more..
