Pitigliano Top 10

I've always felt as if I'm missing out on something when it comes to music. I feel like I was late to the game, and I'm still catching up. I'm certain I didn't really know anything at all about music until I was in high school and even though there are songs from before then that will bring back memories - good and bad - I couldn't name them. Even well into high school I don't think my interest in being a music fan had reached tipping point and my music taste certainly hadn't matured to a point where I ... more

Taking out the trash

It's high time I took out the trash. Each of these paragraphs summarises a draft that I never got around to publishing and more than likely never will: I got a new job...ages ago. In fact I'm only four weeks from leaving that very position. Sometimes, friendships slip away, not because you don't care for the person anymore, but because you and they simply forget to maintain it. Even if you still call yourselves friends, there's not the same level of comfort and intimacy that there once was1. I have this vague idea that I should keep and regularly review ... more

Nature Shines

This afternoon1 was one of those afternoons when you step out of the office and everything is gorgeous. It's as though that little box chock full of beautiful stuff which the world usually keeps mostly hidden away has just exploded and there's beauty just dripping from everything. Looking out my window and watching the clouds roll in from the south-west it strikes me that I don't have an umbrella at work and I don't particularly feel like getting wet. Normally storms make me very excited, but this isn't really a storm, more just an afternoon shower. As the rain eased, ... more

Happy 26th week of the year!!!

Yep, it's the last week in June and my life is getting very interesting; I'm about to go part time at my current job and start building a mighty cool business. I was in Melbourne for work last week where I was lucky enough to catch the Australia v. Croatia World Cup match. The tension throughout the game and the celebrations at the end at Federation Square were pretty damn fantastic. Pitty about the poor result in the early hours of this morning (but we still love you Socceroos!). We (that's Laura, Jiselle, Tony and I) saw Coldplay on Saturday ... more

The coming chaos

Well, today is the second day of winter and it was freezing this morning1!!! June is promising to be a very busy month, as is July, August and most definitely September. I have about a week until the chaos really hits. Soccer finals are on their way (assuming we make it that far, given the Ooze is unavailable). We gave the bottom of the ladder mixed team an 18-0 drilling last night (or somewhere there, you lose count when it gets that high) which was a nice follow up to our poor performance in mens'. I'm going to Melbourne for ... more
