I saw this quote a while back (in a Stephen King book I think) and put in my palmtop. I just found it and thought I’d share.
Love’s a mystery to everyone except the poets, I guess, and nobody sane can understand a thing they write about it.
I’m enjoying watching the Olympics. I was amused to see the medal tables on the ESPN website versus the one on the BBC website. All over the world (AFAIK) and as long as I can remember the medal table has been sorted first on the number of golds, then silvers and then bronze medals. This, of course, means that a country that wins one gold medal will rank higher than one that’s won loads of silvers and bronzes (as it should IMO) Maybe ESPN wants the US to look as good as possible… here’s the medal tables from the two websites:
ESPN and tada – the US moves into 3rd!
Delayed for at least two hours in Auckland. “Technical difficulties” with the plane 🙁
Maybe those big bucks I spent on Qantas Club membership might come in handy – just had a bite to eat, a beer and I have somehere to plug my laptop in next to a comfortable chair 
Right – off to see if they are going to live up to their 14:15 deadline…………
After two episodes Vic and I are hooked on the weirdest reality show Outback Jack.
12 American city girls in the Australian outback competing for the affections of a hunky Aussie bloke. The first episode had the girls in limos in LA all tarted up and thinking they were off to some five star resort – then they were told they were going to Oz – then they had to jump out of a plane to get to the camp where the show is filmed.
All in all a real hoot watching them flounder in the middle of the bush
Phew – my visa came through for China today. I leave on Friday and have two nights in Hong Kong on the way.
In Hong Kong I plan on buying an all plastic “toy” camera called a Holga to play around with
While in Shanghai I would have liked to visit the factory of Shen-Hao to look at their cameras. I don’t have the time or money to justify a 4×5 camera at the moment 🙁
Here are some really cool adjustable measuring spoons that I bought Vic They were even giftwrapped! By Kitchenart
Here are the mousetraps I bought. I can’t find a decent picture of them anywhere on the web. “The Better Mousetrap” by Intruder Inc
Thanks everyone for your “stick around” messages – I’ll try to update more often and make visiting more worth your while
? The upacking is slowly going forward. Once you have all the day to day stuff unpacked the urgent need disappears and the pace of unpacking really slows down. The 90 day maintanence list is getting longer by the day as well………
? We caught our first mouse a couple of days ago! AKAIK it’s the only one here (yeah right but no other mouse crap has been found since) We got the best mousetrap and it worked a treat – if I could find a link I’d post it……
? I have a thing for comedy show wives. Debra – Everyone Loves Raymond, Jill – Home Improvement, Lois – Malcolm in the Middle…. not so much. I’ve discussed this with Vic and she just thinks I’m weird
? Our yard is flourescent green! They got around to laying the topsoil and then sprayed on a mixture of seed, wood pulp and fertiliser and it’s the brightest green!
? Vic’s Mum has gone to the UK for a month and for that month we are a two car family Since her’s is a manual (stick shift) I’ve been told to use it. It might look strange but it’s a bit of a hoot to be in a tiny car. And it costs about half as much to fill up with petrol.
I’ve calmed down a bit now…….
I got this from Gina. It’s a 10 question multi-guess quiz that I set to see how well you know me. Some are a bit tricky
