FACEBOOK IS COOL, BUT BLOGS ARE PRETTY COOL TOO

Beware of posts about basketball

At Omi's 21st last night we danced and the girls beat the boys in fussball, but we also named Campbell & Liz's new baby

if it is a girl her name will be Snow Whyte
and if it's a boy, he gets Barry Whyte (as a tribute to Briony & Harry)

Live Blogging The Pride & Prejudice Marathon

(*The BBC Pride & Prejudice Marathon)

Liz organized a P&P marathon because it had been too long since the last one. Intolerably too long.

EPISODE 1
COMMENTS

"Not much different to when i last watched it," said Liz.

"i can keep watching it, it adds more each time. Let's make haste," urged Briony.

EPISODE 2
"Collins is hilarious/awesome. He is also good in the new version".

Not.

Capital!

EPISODES AFTER
Elisabeth?
Yes, Mr Darcy?

Oh Baby, Baby

i am pretty sure
70-75% sure
that two couples (here and here) announced yesterday they are "expecting" before 2008 is up.

Maybe this will start a trend?

Anyway, a big excited Congratulations to both families to be!

Why is it that i am always just one letter off a seven-letter-A-Bomb in Scrabulous?

Or that i have the aforementioned seven-letter-A-Bomb but can't get a clear place on the board to write my destruction?

Alas!

However, my miserable 43% winning record would qualify me for the last seed in the Eastern Conference Playoff race:)

10 months later...

if you could find the traffic tracker for this site, you'd notice that it has been steadily ticking over long since everyone abandoned this earnest Yearblog.

That traffic would be me, of course, using the links to the right to follow everyone else's blogs.

Today two events brought me to this point of resurrection. Firstly, i laughed out loud while reading my favourite basketball site (Henry Abbott's TrueHoop), and remembered the glory of the blog. And then i found Alaina's facebook linking to her new breakaway blog, 1200 Babies on Ice (see links), and i found myself happily entertained.
And freshly inspired.

I'll see if i can wake up some interest amongst my latent blogger-friends, and nourish the once fertile soils of the people's Yearbook Yearblog


oh yeah, can you feel the potential?
:)

rOXFORD

Liz works for an international language school on Beaufort St.
A few weeks ago, a lady in her office was offered a 4 month position in the company's Oxford branch, but she had to turn it down because of family commitments. She recommended that Liz apply for the position. Liz laughed.

On friday, Liz was formally offered the position. She accepted on the following conditions:
  • her flight and accomodation was covered
  • she still had a job to come back to in perth
  • that her boyfriend could come too (and stay rent free), cause he is super cool
They accepted, too.

That means that from the end of this month, Liz and i will shack up in Oxford, England, until late August. I submitted my British passport application first thing this morning, hoping that the minimum 10 working days it takes to process the request will be enough...

Then i can work or collect welfare while i'm abroad!

Holla!

check out my travel blog from next June onwards, keep in touch

Guest Programme

in celebration of its 20th birthday, Rage held a competition called invade rage, effectively allowing a home viewer to guest programme the show for a night. This is my dream.

And this is my 20 song submission, trying its best to encapsulate the last 20 years of music, with a nod to rocking tracks and the medium of the film clip.
