My life & thoughts

Blech

17 January 2007 by kristarella

Hmm, this morning I formatted my iPod for Mac because it was behaving very badly, only allowing about 600MB available memory (advertised as 1GB ) and somehow became read-only on my computer so that I couldn’t delete the half-transfered songs.

Bloomin’ ‘eck

12 January 2007 by kristarella

I’ve been up for 15 minutes and today sucks! It’s already hotter than it’s been pretty much all summer. I felt wretched all of yesterday with waves of pain in my back going right through to my stomach. I couldn’t tell what it was, in a way it felt like hunger, but I ate – […]

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.
