Life. Updated.

It’s a veeeery slooooow day at work today. The majority of the office is either in Sydney for the regular monthly meeting or are off “sick”. I’ve organised event stock up to a month in advance (the usual lead time is two weeks) and I’ve posted out all the mail in our out-trays.

Next week will no doubt be busy, as one of the monthly Big Jobs will be needing doing, but until then it’s all quiet on the western front. Hence all the blogging.

Having posted music videos, comedy sketches and political rants, I figured I’d round things out (and make the parentals happy) by giving a Life Update!

(if I had a Life Update theme tune [or “sting” as they call them in the radio biz] I’d be playing that right now).

- Job’s going well.

- There might be good news on the manuscript front. Cross your fingers for me and stay tuned.

- Cara’s staying at our place at the moment, having moved down from Queensland and now in the middle of house-hunting. I don’t know if I’ve bored her to death with Japanese-game-shows-I-like-to-watch-on-cable yet, but no doubt her demise will be any day now!

- I’m going to Derby Day. This would usually get its own post (and might very well yet) but I can’t be bothered right now. So let it be said I’m off to see the ponies run (I’m going to be in a marquee! For free!) and have that be that.

- Anxiously awaiting the arrival of two new shirts from Threadless.

- Thinking of heading back to Brisbane for Christmas. Will see if it’s possible.

- I like ham.

- I’ve been browsing laptops, and there’s an HP I really like the specs of … but its mouse is shitty! Is it something I can adapt to, or would it drive me berserk? Do I go with an inferior machine based on mouse-control? Do I pay more and go with a superior machine, once again based on mouse-control? Oh, the dilemma!

- Cheese is quite good, too.

- Rome took over from The Sopranos as my going-to-bed DVD series to watch. It started slow but built up beautifully. I can only hope the wait for season two isn’t too long! I now go back to Angel season 5, which was my original Sopranos replacement, but I didn’t get too far into having already seen it on TV.

- I don’t like Kanye West much, but hot damn if Stronger isn’t a fun song! But how much of that do we attribute to Daft Punk? Hmmm.

Eh. I think that’s enough now. I grow weary of this navel-gazing. Bring me a fatted calf, so that I might sup on its flesh!

Hoo yeah!
