The other evening, a curious sight was beheld: a sandwich in a zip lock bag. Perhaps not so remarkable on its own, but presented below for all to see.

What, pray tell, could be so interesting about this?
Why, the efforts one puts into getting inside!

This little pigeon struggled to pierce the plastic stronghold, but alas, in […]

I’ve long heard that those who are pregnant notice a lot more pregnant people around. The same for those who wear glasses - suddenly it seems like everyone wears them. No, I don’t have any large announcements to share.. but anyone who has been on the roads with me probably has had heard enough about […]

The other day, I purchased new laces for my old basketball shoes. The game on Sunday night felt a lot easier on my feet than games previously; my shoes were tighter, stronger, safer. I felt almost as if I had a new lease on my basketball life. Or at least that the life of my […]

That’s right; I’ve found the secret. After a (relatively short) lifetime of saying goodbye to friends (as much as you can do when you live in your home town for 20 or so years), and struggling terribly with it, I’ve made a discovery which will possibly shock the world. Or at least this part of […]

Thanks to Kevin Rudd’s desire to stimulate the economy, I now have some unexpected cash. It’s a strange position. I did nothing to earn it, yet it’s there. There’s actually a peculiar discomfort with it. I cannot quite articulate it properly, so I might just fumble around a little and try. It’s an undeserved gift, […]

On Saturday evening, I had the scariest driving experience.
As some would know, I’m still learning to drive, and as such, am liable to find myself in fearful positions every so often. Driving home from Woollahra with the Walls, we ended up in Bondi Junction and along the main road there back to the city. The […]

Reposting this for the non-Facebookers (I know, I didn’t believe it was true either!).. so really, feel free to ignore if you saw it already, there are no differences between this one and the one on Facebook… or are there? Muahahaha… if nothing else though, it’s a nice snapshot of what is going on at […]

Last Friday evening, I had my first real camping experience. Competition to that title could include ye olde camps that placed me in cabins, and warm nights spent out in my backyard as a child. In all honesty, I hardly think there’s any competition: this was by far and large the winner.
We headed out past […]

Today, reports of Atlantis flitted across my table. With the launch of an Ocean in Google Earth, searching beneath the ocean has never been easier. How exciting to have this opportunity! The fact that oceans cover nearly three quarters of the entire globe, yet we know so little about what is actually down there is.. […]

Colours thrown quickly, grace these walls
The artists are, but a few small squalls
Lines drawn purposefully, across crimson bricks
Slowly begin to wonder, if my mind’s playing tricks
There’s a figure vague, amidst the hue
A moving leg, a yearning arm or two
Why are they there? I should know
They shimmer briefly and brightly glow
I wish I could, just discern […]
