Just got back from my first workout at the gym. It was pretty cool actually. I might even say I enjoyed it. Amy has put me on a five day a week schedule - three days of cardio and two of weights - so I am going to have to jiggle the timetable a bit. […]

From Popbitch:
Kate Bush’s long-awaited new album Aerial is out next month. Kate did a few interviews, then started cancelling press appointments. Then she allowed a few phone-only interviews. And then stopped again.
The reason? Apparently Kate feels she is looking rather fat.
Kate of course is one of the music industry’s most famous stoners. At […]

I’ve been swotting up on chemistry a little and I found a good resource at about.com. It includes some chemistry safety recommendations:
Dress Appropriately (for chemistry lab, not fashion or the weather)
No sandals, no clothes you love more than life, no contact lenses, and long pants are preferable to shorts or short skirts. Tie long hair […]

Very hungover after a big night out for Max’s 19th. The Matterhorn is a dangerous drunken place. Parents of young toddlers beware! It was a fun night though. I was forced to cancel my gym meeting with George as I felt if I had launched into any physical exercise today, the results could have been […]

I’ve put in my enrolment form for CHEM191! Back to school for me! Let’s hope it works out a bit better than the last two times I went to university. Let’s just say I seem to last a year and then crash out spectacularly. Still this is very very part time (one paper!) so hopefully […]

Momentous day today - Jan and I have joined a gym! We went to check out one a friend has joined called BPM (yes Glyn, I know), where they have an incredibly cheap deal - $250 for 12 months off peak. It means you can’t go between 4 and 7pm, but what parent is going […]

Sorry about the lack of bloggage - it was a public holiday here yesterday, Australian readers. We had a nice long weekend. On Sunday we went to an old childhood haunt of mine called Percy’s Reserve. It’s a park on the edge of the Hutt motorway with a duckpond, picnic tables in the bush and […]

Finally got World of Warcraft to install (after having to download a 250MB patch!) and am having a blast playing it. I’ve set it up on Jan’s machine too so we can run around bashing trolls over the head together. How romantic!

Unfortunately “Aunt Flo” came to stay at my house this morning. She’s just like clockwork! So no pregnancy this time around… On the bright side, I am having a huge latte today.

Jan is thinking about enrolling for some university courses and has brought home heaps of info from Victoria and Massey. So of course I have now got obsessed with doing a particular degree - Bachelor of Biomedical Science. Cool huh? Unfortunately it would take me about 8 years to do it while still earning […]
