Bits And Pieces

A warm welcome to all of you loyal and semi-loyal readers out there. In case of emergency the exits are here, here, here and here and oxygen is readily available, particularly outside.

I took my first day off since going onto a 2-day-a-week contract at work (in preparation for uni) and I spent it hooning around on golf carts and pretending to be a golfer down at Warburton. I have to say it's the most fun I've had all year, for certain. We did some big 180s, "burnouts" and terrain jumps on the carts, Trav and I "hotwired" Dean and Will's cart and many taunting-related hilarities also occurred. This is what working people miss out on.

I should also add I'm sheleighlying the Sun's ass in our battle for supreme honour. I had 2 pool days during that 40 degree spell and visits to the tennis unscathed and I only had a small part just above my sock line burned at golf. I'll call it 5-1 to me then and with February upon us, that's a nearly unassailable lead.

Shaun Micallef's book Smithereens is fantastic. His writing style would be inspirational if it was conceivable for me to mimic its brilliance, but it is stratospheres above my league.

I've been downloading a bunch of one-off songs to see if there's any albums I should be buying. The Raveonettes' Love In A Trashcan caught my attention. I'm also enjoying The Strokes' First Impressions Of Earth and Kaiser Chiefs' Employment albums.
