Chan­nel NewsA­sia : One Deed, One Life­time: “It can be some­thing as con­crete as giv­ing a liver “.

Are they not over the liver thing yet? And how is some­thing ‘as con­crete’ as giv­ing a liver?

Again I […]

Lis­ten­ing to: Lucy in the Sky With Dia­monds — The Bea­t­les — 1967–1970 Disc 1

This is where I’d paste an ‘Under Con­struc­tion’ icon, if I could be both­ered to find one. But I can be both­ered to post this notice say­ing that the new Blog­ger engine isn’t very agree­able with my for­mer template, […]

Lis­ten­ing to: Steal My Kisses — Ben Harper — Burn to Shine [Aus­tralia Bonus CD]

Lunch wasn’t all that bad this after­noon, although my brother and I were in dan­ger of being ear-blasted off the table because we had both missed church. Thank­fully, bro-in-law and sis­ter decided it […]

Lis­ten­ing to: Walk Away — Pink — Try This

It’s Mother’s Day.

And a ‘Coin Pulse’ (see phone cam pic of the week) is a cross between a coin purse and coin pouch. Or a coin-operated pacemaker.

It is with great trep­i­da­tion that I wake up this morn­ing to see […]

Lis­ten­ing to: La Boheme: Che Gel­ida Man­ina — Andrea Bocelli — Aria: The Opera Album

Again, I have a ton of things to do. Again I am not doing them yet.

I have been ‘bug­geris­ing’ on the net, as an erst­while friend once put it. I’ve found this novel (to me) way of updat­ing the […]

Lis­ten­ing to: Some­one To Watch Over Me/I Got Rhythm — Stephane Grap­pelli — 85 And Still Swinging

I live in a nor­mally quite neigh­bour­hood. It hasn’t been nor­mal since the prop­erty next door was pur­chased early last year. The new own­ers haven’t moved in, but a bat­tal­ion of con­struc­tion work­ers rep­re­sent­ing the […]

My busi­ness associate:

I keep remem­ber­ing the weird­est shit about yes­ter­day.
I was try­ing to stop the blood gush­ing out his neck, and I looked up, and saw these two school­girls in uni­form and they were gig­gling!

Lis­ten­ing to: Arg­wydd Dyma Fi — Cerys Matthews — Cockahoop

My nerves are still rat­tled by this afternoon’s inci­dent, even if I wasn’t phys­i­cally there. I seem to be eas­ily rat­tled these days.

I nor­mally eschew quot­ing lyrics. But this one’s dif­fer­ent. It’s Welsh, and it’s doing a darn good job of sooth­ing my […]

Lis­ten­ing to: Cig­a­rettes Will Kill You — Ben Lee — Breath­ing Tornados

Early this after­noon, my busi­ness asso­ciates were on the way to an appoint­ment at a pri­mary school when they encoun­tered some­thing quite horrible.

They saw a young Malay man, pos­si­bly in his late teens, tear­ing down the street being chased by […]

Lis­ten­ing to: I Still Call Aus­tralia Home — Peter Allen

There were at least 10 power out­tages this morn­ing. The new power board we installed last month obvi­ously isn’t work­ing. Some­thing is trip­ping the thing. I checked with my cat, and he isn’t respon­si­ble this time. He’s already used up 8 lives, so […]
