it was my brother's birthday the other day - he turned 28. it's my mum's birthday next week, then a few of my cousin's add another year to their respective ages. my 30th birthday is less than a month away, and the rest of november is filled with the celebrations of numerous friends and family members. and just when you think it's safe to venture out again, my baby brother (i say 'baby' - he's

I found this while googling boredly at work today. Click the title above for the full page."There appear to have been two men named Daniel Katz who are significant figures in the history of psychology. One of them (July 18, 1903 - Feb. 28, 1998) was important in social psychology. But I don't know anything about the other DanielKatz (Oct. 1, 1884 - Feb 2, 1953). Can anyone share information about

i took a bit of a tumble at work last friday. a stool broke underneath me, and i went clattering to the floor. my knee has been buggered since then. it's getting better - last saturday i could barely bend my leg, and was in intense agony, but i found the whole situation extremely hilarious. i sat on by bed, trying to put on a sock, and howling alternatively in agony and with amusement. however,

As I was trapsing around Highpoint Shopping Centre this morning, my ears were assaulted by a high pitched squeaking noise - the kind of noise made by one of those rubber duckie-type toys; the kind of noise that has been designed to squeak at the exact frequency to make you wish that you had a blackboard handy so that you could run your fingernails down it to cover up the noise of the squeak.

I've left you waiting long enough. Time for the next instalment.Tuesday 14th MarchWe arrived back in Capies around 6pm, strolled along the beach, moved into our temporary abode (our cousin's place), refreshed, then out for dinner to the area of town known as the Waterkant (my mother never gets tired of mispronouncing that word), for a delicious Italian dinner. Then back to the flat, where I

Saturday, 11th MarchWe stayed in Knysna for 4 nights, using it as a base to visit various sites around the area. The first day, however, was spent exploring Knysna itself, which was small, uninspiring, full of Brits, but pleasant enough. In the evening, we headed out to the Phantom Forest Eco Restaurant, which, aside from having a cool name, was what their brochure would probably call a 'dining

There now follows a brief recap of my adventures in South Africa earlier this month. (Also, check out the new links on the right).R had gone to Bairnsdale to play a gig with EJ on saturday (4th), so I spent that night alone, and set my alarm to wake me up at 4.40am on Sunday morning - ouch. Taxi arrived at 4.55 (5 minutes early) and I was painfully tired. Flew to Sydney (the pilot's name was

The more observant among you will notice that this blog looks somewhat different to how it once did. I've fixed the problem with posting comments (should be much easier to do it now), but something's playing with the rest of my formatting. All the links and stuff are now right down at the bottom of the page, instead of where they should be, at the side. I'll try and fix this up, but it

OK, so it’s been a while since my last update. Sorry, but it’s here now, so you can breath easy once again. I started writing an entry about 2 weeks ago, but never go a round to finishing it. So I think it has been about a month since I last posted. Since then, our tiny cramped flat has become even more crowded – 18 boxes of my stuff have arrived from England. I have managed to empty about

I wrote such a long blog last week that I ran out of time to do all the things I was meant to be doing (the household chores had to wait). So this week, I’ve decided to type it all up on Word the night before. How organised am I?

So. Here we are. I signed up for this blog almost one year ago, and as you can see, I haven't written very much (although to be fair, I have occasionally written here - so that's alright). Two recent incidents have inspired me to put finger to keyboard, as t'were. Firstly, I read The Baghdad Blog by Salam Pax, which got me in the mood for blog. Unfortunately, I couldn't think of anything to
