The Snook and I participated in the National IQ Test tonight (while taping the Queer Test, of course). He ended up scoring 128 while I had 124.

I was craving spiciness tonight so I tried out a new low-carb recipe: Hearty Pumpkin Chili. As I didn’t have any canned pumpkin, I just steamed some fresh and then mushed it up with a fork. It really gave the (bean-less) chili a nice thick texture. The Snook and I give it two thumbs up!…

My weekend… Dinner at the new Bridge Street Wagamama. Way too many carbs, but oh. so. yummy. Cheap bacon and egg breakfast at the greasy spoon down the street. Again, yummy. Browsed through the DVD sale at Kmart and picked up a copy of Strange Brew, which the Snook has never seen. Eh, hoser. Managed…

Australia wins! We’ve become the first defending Rugby World Cup champion to make it to the Finals the next year. We’ll be taking on either France or England next Saturday. (If it’s England, I know at least one household that’s going to have a difficult week…)

Whoa! Madaboutwine has finally died. It was the first dotcom I worked on and, four years later, it was one of the last ones standing. I feel oddly sad about it.
