Some days

6 June 2007 by kristarella

Some days are just good and some days aren’t even if you had every intention of making them great. Saturday was good for me. I got to sleep in a little bit and I managed to clean the bathroom, do some dishes, two loads of laundry and a little bit of uni work all by […]

24 May 2007 by kristarella

Since a couple of the guys left the library lawn coffee cart for larger ventures the same attention to detail isn’t there. They don’t make the effort to remember you and your drink. Which is why it was nice this evening when I wandered into the bottle-O on the way home for a bottle of […]

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).
