We’re officially halfway through NaBloPoMo, and I’ve just been cruisin’. Hell, half the time I have to refrain from posting more each day. I’ve been surprised at how many people seem to find it difficult though. I’ve been following Rashenbo’s reviews and it seems like fully a third of the participants are out of the…

Blog-birthday boy Kevin pointed me to this trailer for the upcoming Charlotte’s Web movie, and while I can see his point about the Hollywood voices being distracting, I still predict I’m going to love it. I also predict I’m going to cry a lot. I can remember the exact day I read the ending of…

You know how you can try really hard at something for a long time and be sorta okay at it, but then you introduce someone else to it and they’re a friggin’ natural, and then you’re torn between being happy for them and being frustrated that it’s so hard for you? Yeah, well that was…

Thanks, Paula!I went out for my third(!) run tonight with the Nike + iPod kit. I ran all the way down Harris Street through Pyrmont, then around under the ANZAC Bridge by the Sydney Fish Markets, and back up Wattle Street to home. It’s almost exactly 5K, which worked out pretty nicely. I’m still trying…

Kel has discovered myspace. Hey, that’s one more friend for me! (I log in to the site about once a month. I’m pathetic.)

Another Baby SurpriseMy sister is, like, officially a week overdue now, and I’m getting nervous. I haven’t had any word from the family this weekend so presumably we’re all just playing the waiting game. (UNLESS SHE’S HAD IT AND THEY’VE ALL FORGOTTEN ABOUT ME. Sometimes I get expat-paranoia.) Anyway, I used my day off today…

Movember UpdateIt’s officially ON, folks! Unbeknownst to me, the Snook decided today was the day to finally do some manscaping. I had the day off so I sleepily kissed him goodbye this morning without even noticing. He was home a good fifteen minutes tonight before I did a massive double-take. Yes, he decided to go…

Idol Blather: And then there were three. I was recording the show as usual but decided to switch over and watch it live (since the Snook was cooking and I had the remote). I clicked over just in time to see Holden on his feet, Marcia actually crying, and the whole audience having a Damien-gasm.…

David Reidy is “an Australian bloke who knits” and he’s recently launched a new knitting podcast. Mary-Helen‘s a fan but I haven’t had a chance to give it a listen yet. To be honest, I was put off a little bit upon meeting him at SSK yesterday when he made a snarky joke about how…
