Stupidity and the smoke

22 January 2007 by kristarella

I had an appointment to check out Fernwood women’s gym at 10am this morning. Nothing like an appointment to make you get out of bed at a reasonable hour after a bad night lacking in sleep. It was so hot last night, I barely slept during the wee hours. I had things I wanted to […]

This is Australia

21 January 2007 by kristarella

I had a whinge about the heat earlier. Admittedly that was purely selfish but there are major disadvantages to mega heat and north-westerly winds. Bushfires. One about 10km from where I live (my place isn’t threatened) started earlier tonight causing the closing of the freeway, trains, roads, parks. It’s not only the potential destruction that […]

iPod alzheimers

20 January 2007 by kristarella

Losing Memory I had some frustration with my iPod nano this week. I have been using it on Linux with Rhythmbox, which I find quite good for organising and playng my music, but it doesn’t have great iPod support. It can copy files to the iPod and it pretends to be able to delete them, […]

Had a great Saturday at the GKR Karate State Title Had a great Saturday at the GKR Karate State Titles! I was a sub for @jamesxuereb.me in the Blue Flame Dragons thanks to his sprained ankle; we won first round and came fourth overall!
I did a bunch of judging and officiating, which was really good.
I didn’t place in my individual events, but had a very fun final round of kumite (sparring).

A little book I made from Bunnings paint sample ca A little book I made from Bunnings paint sample cards. It’s going to be for mini paintings and collages. Sometimes it’s nice to start with a colour rather than a blank white page!
