Busy week/end

Well it has been another busy week and weekend but the office is very quiet this morning so I have time to post - I have been here for an hour and I am still the only person in!

Weekend almost made me feel young again... was out on Friday night, then a 21st on Saturday night then out again all day yesterday. Was fun though!

BTW a question for you all: who holds an outdoor 21st party at night in the middle of winter???

I know as usual it has been ages since I posted anything and since I don't really have much to say at the moment I thought I would just post some icons. No feedback required but say hello if you want.

I apologise to those people whose comments I am yet to reply to ([info]angst_angel, [info]saramund, [info]seldear, [info]njgoddess, [info]mebfeather and [info]nhwak78) I promise I will get around to it soon.

Okay, so I am finally back online at home and things are settled down enough for me to start looking at LJ again. Am exhausted from playing 2 hours of tennis last night - been a while but it was fun to get back into the swing of things. *g*

I will have to catch up on all your posts as well as reply to all those messages in my email. Until then I may as well just be a lemming...

Moving Day

Just to let you all know I may not be around much for the next couple of weeks as I will be moving next weekend. I am moving to a Sydney suburb called Ermington which is much closer to work (30 mins rather than 1-1.5 hrs) and closer to a fair few friends whom I hang out with. So if you don't see me online it is because I am packing or am moving or haven’t got an internet connection up and running yet. :D

I got my new work computer today! Wohoo! Now it may not seem like much but the other one was starting to get a little clunky - keyboard dying, slow processing etc

But the cool thing - flat panel montior! Doesn't mean extra good vision or anything but its the novelty value that counts. :D Unfortunately my little toy frog can no longer sit on top of the montior. Oh well, such is life. ;)

Last night at the movies...

Well last night I went with a mate to go and see The Last Samurai. Now I was expecting a decent movie but the trailers had left me with a sense of forboding of how Hollywood would deal with some of the aspects of the Samurai way of life. I can say that I was very happy with the production, the quality of the acting (esp a couple of young boys that did very well), the cinematography and the soundtrack (go Hans Zimmer)!

I reckon it is well worth a look but I think to really appreciate it you need to be in the right frame of mind. It is a true drama but with a lot of action as well as some good slow paced scenes.

Anyway this is one of the reasons that I have not been around as much the past few days. Hello to all. :)

Picture Update

Quite a while ago I went on a 4wd day trip with some mates. On that trip we went past a lookout to a waterfall - below is a link to a bigger version of a couple of the photos I took. I might say it was a beautiful sight but you can judge that for yourself. :D

Well I know I don't say a lot these days anyway but...

I am going up the Blue Mountains (west of Sydney) for a couple of days so you can expect even less interaction from me. Some of you may remember that I went 4WD some time ago and took some photos of a beautiful waterfall, well I have the photos back and will post them shortly.

Just got back from the mechanic and it seems my g-shock controller is damaged and needs replacing. As well as getting a boost controller and a turbo timer installed means I may be losing a couple of thousand dollars in the next few weeks. Just what I wanted. *sigh*

If I don't see you around, I hope you all have a great new year and 2004!

Well it appears I have not updated my journal for some time. There are a couple of reasons for this:
1. Life is just plain hectic at the moment.
2. Wanted to reply to all the comments in my inbox before I did a new post. Trouble is the more comments there are the more I put off replying to them all. That is done now so... :)

I probably won't be around much this week as I think tonight is the only night I will be home, I am not ignoring you all though.

Have a great week everybody.

Bleh - yucky weather

For the benefit of all of you who do not live in Sydney last night there was a little storm. Now this storm was a nice thunderstorm that happened to coincide with a nice little dust storm from the west. This means that it did not rain nice clean water but rather a kind of mud. Pretty much 2 out of every 3 cars look like they had mud sprayed on them. What makes this worse is that I washed my car two days ago and it was looking beautiful, now it just looks bleh! Now I have to wash my car again!

Season = Winter
You're Most Like The Season Winter ...

You're often depicted as the cold, distant season.
But you're incredibly intelligent, mature and
Independent. You have an air of power around
you - and that can sometimes scare people off.
You're complex, and get hurt easily - so you
rarely let people in if you can help it. You
can be somewhat of a loner, but just as easily
you could be the leader of many. You Tend to be
negative, and hard to relate to, but you give
off a relaxed image despite being insecure -
and secretly many people long to be like you,
not knowing how deep the Winter season really
is.

Well done... You're the most inspirational of
seasons :)
