  • Pep Rally

    Got up just in time this morning to catch the end of the Pep Rally live on the Internet. Of course, the crappy Windows Media Stream doesn’t like my computer so I don’t have any sound, but it was so cool to suddenly recognize that everyone was moving their arms in sync and to have…

  • Stipey got Fugged

    Ooh, Stipey got fugged! As the picture was loading (from the top) I was thinking, “Actually, that isn’t really too bad, even considering the scarf-thing…” and then the boots appeared and I was like, “… OH.”

  • Sakai-san!

    Check it out! It’s Toast and Sakai! I know somebody who’s met an Iron Chef! (And if you came to our first Halloween party, you know him too! He was the proctologist.)

  • Knitted Cupcake Hats

    Knitted Cupcake Hats. Awww, those are adorable! I might need to make one for Marianne to match the butterfly cardi I have planned for her. (Hey Nat, this is a hint for you to send me her measurements!)

  • Eye of the Tiger

    Hardest. Boxing Class. EVER. tonight. Our usual Thursday night kickboxing-cardio group was getting too big, so they re-worked the schedule to split it into two classes. Albert and I chose the later, “boxing-only”, class tonight. As soon as I saw the instructor I started wincing. He’s this really small guy but he’s so strong and…

  • Moon Cakes

    It’s kinda neat reading about China’s second manned space flight while I’m also reading Tom Wolfe’s The Right Stuff (about America’s first forays into space). Does anyone know what the Chinese word for “astronaut” is? Mmm, now I’m hungry for pineapple-filled moon cakes…

  • Pick my hair.

    New Poll: Hey, I haven’t done one of these in ages! My hair has faded to a disgusting pink so it’s time to visit the hairdresser again. I’m getting that itchy feeling though, that maybe it’s time to change it up again. What do you think? Vote down there on the right.

  • A grey day for a funeral

    It turned out to be a grey day for a funeral. I got a lift with some co-workers out to Rookwood Cemetery, which just happens to be the largest cemetery in the Southern Hemisphere. (Australians love declaring things the “largest x in the Southern Hemisphere.”) Anyway, we found the Jewish office and were directed to…

  • Go Irish!

    Rumors are flyin’ in the lead-up to this weekend’s ND vs USC game. Bon Jovi at the pep rally? That’s nuts. Okay, so the game is in South Bend at 3:30pm, right? That makes it Sunday morning at 6:30am here. Ouch. The question is, how can I watch/listen/follow along to the game? Even if I…
