just too tired

Yes, I’m just too tired to think sensibly tonight. I guess that’s what happens when you’re doing 2 and a half jobs at once - none of them at all well, I might add - and coming home to chase two year olds about the place.
Luckily, there’s no security feature on wordpress that says “you [...]

stop it or you’ll go blind

Err… How can I put this politely? Beating off, wanking, masturbation, all that stuff; we’ve all done it. Well, not me, obviously, but allegedly the other 99.5% of the male population does it all the time. This is despite knowing that, according to various religions, every sperm is sacred, we’ll grow hairs on our palms [...]

an actual long run

I haven’t done a proper long run for I don’t know how long. What with babies and being sick, I haven’t had time.
I’ve done plenty of 12km-ers, a few 16km and two around the 18km mark, but I don’t count a run as being long until it’s over 20km. That’s just my rule.
So yesterday’s [...]

i like the queen

More specifically, I like her birthday. Even more specifically, I like the fact that we get a day off work for the queen’s birthday. The way we celebrate her official birthday, as opposed to her actual birthday, has me a little confused, but I’m willing to roll with it. At the end of the day, [...]

vague old me

Spending your whole working day slumped over a computer keyboard tap-tap-tapping away has its good and bad points. On the plus side, you tend to become rather well-informed on such fascinating topics as the use of ajax in faceted navigation elements. On the other hand, you tend to lose touch on the real world.
That happened [...]

atta boy bong su

I do like to use this humble column to celebrate life’s achievers, the famous and the not so famous. So it gives me great pleasure to extend a hearty clap on the back to Bong Su, the 34 year old elephant from Melbourne Zoo who has set a world record.
From theage.com.au today:
BONG Su, the 34-year-old [...]

night-time fog

I see Steve has been setting some sort of land-speed record around Latrobe Uni on the weekend. He should be careful, at that speed he’s in danger of taking off and landing somewhere unpleasant: Preston, perhaps or Reservoir.
My weekend was far more prosaic. Not for me the setting of 100 metre records, nor drunken brawls [...]

barack obama

I don’t know if you’ve been following the election in the good ol’ USA lately. I’ve been trying to avoid it, but keep catching glimpses of news stories out of the corner of my eye, so to speak.
There seems to be the normal bunch of nutters and/or born to rule types. There’s a Clinton on [...]
