Unrelated

I made Veal Cordon Bleu the other night. It had never occurred to me to try this before, I didn’t want regular veal schnitzel and I didn’t want to get take away. I realised I had veal and ham and cheese – perfect! I cut the veal steaks in half, put a slice of ham […]

Breakage

3 January 2007 by kristarella

Geez, stuff keeps breaking. My bag that I bought in October broke after about two months. My sunnies snapped, okay I’ve had them for five years, they did well, we’ve super glued them a couple of times but they keep breaking so I’d better just get new ones.

Tali

31 December 2006 by kristarella

Last night, while waiting for Browsershots to do its thing, I was playing games on my computer (just like I am now). I haven’t played all the games that are installed so I was pretty excited when I found Tali. It’s just like Yahtzee! It’s also much more attractive than the online Yahtzee. Play it […]

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.
