Sick Sonny

Tuesday, May 4th, 2004

Poor Archie has come down with a dreadful cold and had us up most of the night with horrible wheezing croup. Poor little fella, he just doesn’t understand and breathing difficulties are very scary for him (and us!) He seems a little better today but has developed a Panadol phobia - awkward as [...]

Lappy Part Two

Thursday, April 29th, 2004

Yes it has arrived! And it is so cool… but now it will suck up my life installing software and files on it - still, I’m not complaining!
We are heading up to Rosie & Danny’s holiday house for the weekend. Going to leave about noon tomorrow so hopefully Archie can sleep all the way [...]

Some courier guy just rang and said he has a computer delivery for me! 3 days early!
Very excited now.

Narcissism

Thursday, April 29th, 2004

Harry has begun to notice himself in the mirror, and you can tell he really knows that it’s him. And of course, he loves himself! But fair enough, he is very cute. He is growing up so fast! He loves toys now and needs to be entertained. He really interacts with objects [...]

Rampant Consumer Desires, Pt 2

Monday, April 19th, 2004

Funny how selling one’s house kicks off all sorts of evil impulses. This here is the Xclef HD-500 40gig, better and cheaper than an iPod! Of course, not as pretty and unlikely to be featured in a 50 Cent video.

Pioneer DVR-510H - then my life would finally be complete!

Versace!

Wednesday, April 7th, 2004

Just went shopping and bought a new pair of shoes and a pair of jeans. Shoes - Royal Elastics, almost identical to my last pair. I am the kind of person who only has one or two pairs of shoes at a time, so my main criteria are comfort, style and they have [...]

Easter Show Excitement

Monday, March 29th, 2004

This year on the Royal Easter Show site, they have a Showbag section where you can search or browse this year’s showbags! It has sent me into quite a frenzy of consumerism. Here is my current wishlist:

Finding Nemo - with snowglobe! Hurrah!
Star Wars
Sesame St
Elmo!

We are going to go nice and early this year [...]

K Mart Woes

Misleading Sign?

Just had a very exhausting hour at K Mart over the road. They had this special on, 2 Playstation 2 games for $40, but only on selected titles. But they have a sign stuck on the shelf that just makes it look like ALL the Platinum games are 2 for $40. [...]

Coolest Car In The World

Wednesday, March 24th, 2004

Dins has just educated me on this incredibly funky car, the Nissan Figaro. Only 20,000 were ever made, in 1991 in Japan. Me want!!
