As a new year is now well into existence I realise that I really should start to plan into the future a little better. You never know when your car is going to cost $800 to get a bunch of crap done to it. Though I know when that will happen, it happened last week. [...]

I have a very good friend. I’ve known her for years and will for many more. She’s a top bird, and she shares the same first name as my wife (coincidence, I swear). I’ve shared many drunken nights with her, road trips, I even bought her old car, Camilla, years back. I’ve crashed at her [...]

And so another year closes its eyes to rest and be no more. It’s been emotional, 2009. It surely has.
I look at what I wanted to do with 2009 when it first waxed into few. I had a plan to write a lot more, and to marry my gorgeous girl. I look back on 2009 [...]

It’s the end of the year and I got a lotta problems with you people, and now you’re gonna hear about them. Yes, I’m celebrating Festivus, as usual, and the feat of strength is to find a top entrant for each arbitrary aspect of the year I feel like grieving about. Well, what are we [...]

Things have been pretty slack lately, or at least in the department of words it has been. Here are my many, and paltry, excuses:
I got married.
Granted, during the ceremony I did get to read the vows I wrote, and then later read the speech I wrote, with much ad-libbing, but otherwise an unproductive writing day. [...]

I absolutely cannot get enough of notebooks. Honestly, right now, I have about four of them on the go. They are all for different things, and they all look completely different from one another. Why do I do this? Because I love writing things down, and I love having a little collection of words from [...]

I have to know my limitations. Everyone should, or else people will herniate in vain attempts to lift cars, or their brains will leak out their nose as they try to define quantum physics in front of a room full of dangerously smart scientists just looking to pick a bone after some time travel shut [...]

1) My mother once: cooked hand-cut chips in the oil cooker. It wasn’t until after serving them that she realized she hadn’t poured oil into the cooker, it was apple cordial. She laughed so hard that I knew it was the only thing holding back the tears. It’s always been that way with my mother.
2) [...]

I’ve got an enrichment Year 5 class for the rest of this year. It’s only one term, so they’ve, apparently, learnt most of the Year 5 content to be covered, but there’s still more to go, plus I have a firm ideology that all learning is life-long, there’s no good time to stop or rest, [...]

I’ve had one of those days where I feel like I didn’t do anything, but actually I kind of did. I need to give myself more credit. I do okay, sometimes. My problem is I don’t do a job in a normal amount of time, nor do I do it in one stretch. While working [...]
