sniper

I think there's someone somewhere in Australia who's pretty annoyed with me right now... I sniped an eBay auction for some RAM for my computer within the last 20 seconds and won it out from under them :o) mwahaha!

Gosh it's cold... I'm getting soft from living in the city so long!

a day at the terrace cafe

I really didn't feel like sitting at home doing nothing today, so I came into uni and hung out with whoever was at Terrace at the time! I stayed there for ages - I'm still there in fact! - and I've taken some photos!

Jane & MG... MG was a little unprepared...

The lovely Terrace Cafe... count the EUers!*

Roger... possibly the author of every known book on Rogernomics**...

Benita, with what could possibly be the largest potato wedge ever...

Garry posing as a fish-eater - until he ate the fish that is

Ben...

Luke trying to look hot... mmm mop-hair...

I don't think I've ever met so many people from the EU's ACES faculty as I have today! They're all pretty rockin' people too. Has been a good day of nothingness... mmm Terrace... my home away from home away from home :o)

**Rogernomics is actually the study of the economic/political reforms in New Zealand under one of their prime ministers in the 1980s. Any questions - ask Nick Pitt.

microsoft gets an F

Microsoft needs to go back to primary school...

The grammar checker in Word just told me my grammar was incorrect, and where I had written "I'm..." it recommended that I write "I is...". There is no possible situation in the entire English language where "I is..." is acceptable grammar!!!

Grrrr...

keeping the home fires burning

Richard is now going out with Monique... aww how sweet! :o) So the singles club is down to me.

well met

I went for a walk last night to clear my head. I headed down to Blackwattle Bay, as I often do just to escape everything that makes me think that I have a large part in this world. There's a good view of a very large bridge just across the still, misty water. It calms me.

I met Stacey and Amy down there, two of my sisters from church who live nearby. They were talking about where evil came from, wrestling with that weighty issue by the waterside. They invited me to join, and so I did, and there ensued two hours of thought about a topic far more fruitful and far more encouraging than what I would have thought about if I had been alone. Even when we moved onto other things, the company was still good and the focus was still God.

This was just another event that shows me that God knows what I need the most at any point in time. I am really struggling with loneliness at the moment, and I'm forever focussing my thoughts on relationships and such when all this time I would be feeling so much better if I turned my thoughts to God. I thank God for putting those two there last night.

I have to go and party now.

correction

I found this on a theological blog, and since I sent an email regarding this matter to pretty much everyone I know, I thought I should go some way to correct it publicly. Read the email that's posted there, because it gives a more accurate account of what happened to our brothers in Turkey.

ponderationalisingness

...is something that I've been doing a lot of lately... kinda.

Observation: the sound of my computers hard drive when it's chewing over something is almost indistinguishable from the sound of the crickets outside, and I find that annoying.

It feels to me as though there's a general vibe of "luurve" in the air... hmmm, let me put this in terms you'll "understand"... I have concluded, from observations made recently, that the relational potential energy P of the subshperes of existence of which I am a part is increasing. The increase is proportional to the number of single people s, to the latent individual breakup rate r=p/t by the Newly-Single operator S(r) (where S(r)=2rt=2p), to time t (in seconds), and to the EU Camps factor C which increases by 1 after each EU camp. The increase is inversely proportional to the air temperature T in degrees (this phenomenon is known as the Snuggle-Hugalot Effect) and to the number of people still at university N (measured in people/degree - also known as the Nerd factor). Thus, we have an equation:

P = s S(r) t C / T N

This gives the measure of the relational potential energy in units of relajoules, or people-seconds. No seriously... Basically what that means is that we're all spending an increasing amount of time/energy on relational stuff right now, and since it's only potential energy, nobody's getting anywhere.

Where's my dinner...?
