ROWR! We are officially Tiger-ing it up tonight. So far I’ve only been able to install it on the iBook (since the iMac is awaiting service… again). The biggest immediate change is that I’ve now gone RSS crazy. I went through all my daily reads and bookmarked all the RSS feeds so Safari can notify…

Why Geeks and Nerds are Worth It. Hee! The Snook and I got quite a kick out of that. He keeps telling me to “back that ass up” and “put on some make-up” now though. 🙂

Good grief. This year’s ND Shirt is butt-ugly. I can just hear the alma mater now: “And our shirts forever… FUG THEE NOTRE DAME!” (Link again courtesy of Brigita, whose blog I’m catching up on.)

Hmm. Check out this little blinkenlight that paces your bites of food at dinner. I can’t decide whether that’s brilliant or stupid. The Snook and I do have a tendency to wolf down our food rather quickly. (Link courtesy of Brigita, who is similarly of two minds.)

A few more photos from Monday’s bush walk. The first is me with the legendary “Three Sisters” rock formation (which I had previously only seen in its cross-stitch and tapestry incarnations).

Try not to get too distracted by my SEXXAY sweatpants.) The first issue was that the neck was too big. The pattern called for the…

The only thing worse than an already impossible deadline is an incompetent co-worker who loses three weeks of your work. I’m ready to KILL. Later: He found it. Thank Gawd. Urge to kill subsiding.

Rob’s uploaded a couple pictures from the bush walk yesterday, including this one I especially like. I believe that was the moment when I finally realized that, hey, canyons are pretty deep, and there’s no magical elevator that takes you back out once you’ve gotten in. You just gotta climb. It’s like you can hear…

DietBlog: I have officially lost 4.8 kilograms… That’s over 10 pounds! I’m a little shocked myself. My usual Monday meeting was cancelled because of the public holiday so I headed off tonight to Glebe to visit another group. I honestly had no clue what to expect when I stepped on the scales. It seemed like…
