Eurotravesty

Dear False Dan,

Lithuania was goddamn ripped off! What the hell, man?! Please use your Euro-connections to fix this Euro-tragedy.

Joe

PS: Hi, how are you? I am fine.

He's here!

Baby Surly has arrived. John Haven, born 11:53am 13 July 2008, 3.775kg, 51cm.


Dan and I got to meet him this afternoon and have a lovely long cuddle. So now I've had my dose of newborn... can't wait to get some more in a day or too.

Congrats, guys!

Joe - The Day My Computer Said...Hello...

Do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do.
Hello...
Do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do.
Hello...

Today I spent 3 hours trying to find out how one gets a German dictionary into Word 2003. It was not the most thrilling 3 hours of my life. Elle's sister had a baby! Called George. Off to Canberra on the weekend to visit the new being and, you know, buy a bunch of porn and fireworks.

Joe - woooo-oooo-ee-oooooo-It's the theme from Dr Who

Got a bunch of stuff done at work today. And Elle had her interview!
Achieved nothing on any of my upcoming assignments...Boxing in a sec and then setting meat on fire for dinner!

Joe - No need to huff and puffa

Great weekend. Did things. And also stuff...Actually spent entire weekend on cough drops and Bex Powders. No idea what the hell went on. Woke up this morning with a traffic cone and a tattoo of the Dutch national anthem in 12 point font across my thighs.
I blame APEC.

Joe - Everything you have is yours and not stolen

Agree completely with Anna re: post-boxing pain. Additional: When your boxing coach says he's a got a "special" class planned it does NOT mean any of the following things:
1. When you punch the bag a clown jumps out and gives you cake.
2. Exercise replaced with beer and a nap.
3. Taking the class to Mexico.
Generally, what he means by "special" is "lots more punching than usual".
Had a good day. Found and punched some wireless security holes we had. Fixed some network issues. Ate some Thai.
Now it's free drinks time! Yay!

Joe - but now all the poodles run to my house for the funky cold medina

Smashed network problem! Rar! About to go boxing while soaked in flu medicine. We'll see how it goes. Elle and I sat on the porch last night and watched the moon thingus - it was pretty sweet. Also entertaining was watching our neighbour realise that she had lost her car - not lost as in stolen, lost as in no memory of where she parked it. So if you're in the market for a late model Volvo station wagon, there's one going free out there somewhere.

Joe - I'm the root of all that's evil yeah but you can call me cookie

Fluey. Bashing head against network issues. But spent a couple of hours learning about Petra. Petra is awesome! Woo!

Joe - Muggs is a funk fest, someone's talking junk

Great weekend! Crazy ladderless roof fixing dude totally fixed the roof! Now the rain stays on the outside of the house where it belongs. Spent rest of the weekend sleeping, reading, pottering in my herb garden and watching Die Hard 4! Yeah! Kapow! 'Splosions! One liners!

Handed Bezley off to his folks for his glorious American adventure. Just to repeat: He was alive when I saw him last.

Joe - You know say daddy me snow me-a blame

Busy, busy, busy. Weeks worth of work at BMRI coming to a head with the big move. Note to self: Find person who decided that med computers should be named by their room numbers and punch his face. Wrote an essay on medieval ivory carving. Utterly failed to tempt workman over to repair leak in our back room. Bezley staying over for the next couple of days.

Joe - I'm too tired for Latin...Remember when John Hurt did the Dance of Dawn? That was messed up, yo.

Did work. Have tomorrow off! Have great weekends, all:)

Joe - Omnes viae Noviomagus Reginorum ducunt

Much more proactive day at work - actually got stuff done. And finished setting up Elle's mum's new machine. Boxing in a sec and then on to evening class. Really have to make a start on an essay tonight...

Joe - One True Prince of Chichester

Complete waster of a day. Too long meeting. Too long class. Some work done but nothing of any great merit. Elle's sister staying over tonight...Er...Which isn't part of the waster aspect of the day...Seriously:)

Sweet Jimmy Smits!

Heh, check the guy who doesn't check his mail over the weekend. Had a busy day today. Trying to organise the last of the network hardware coming into building F here at BMRI. Had two hours of class - Roman archaeology of the Near East. About to head off to boxing, home for a quick dinner and then to Al's place for D&D where I will, no doubt, cast Magic Missile. At the darkness.
