I spend far too much time on the internet

Today I woke up at 9 – checked my email – checked my blog view counter – had a look at a bunch of blogs – checked the podcast network for new comments left comments, checked for podcasts etc and went to uni at 10.30.
I got home at 5pm and since then I’ve:

  • checked my email
  • uploaded photo’s onto flickr
  • checked my email
  • spent an hour trying to teach myself css so that I could fix up the layout of the blog in relation to my flickr photos
  • Jumped up and down like a mad thing yelling and screaming because during this time I got my first comment on my blog
  • sent some emails
  • checked all the blogs that I read this morning again just in case anyone had posted anything new
  • checked my email
  • browsed the podcast network again
  • lurked on the vogue forums
  • decided to reorganise my email
  • posted a new blog entry

Its now 9.30 and I’ve only taken a 30min break to make and eat dinner.

I actually have a structural mechanics report due tomorrow. Why do I procrastinate so much???

I think I just got accused of being a guy!

It may be my imagination but I think Cameron Reilly just accused me of being a guy. Either that or he was subtly suggesting that I should email him nudie pics but I’m going to give him the benefit of the doubt and assume that he isn’t a weirdo pervert.
This is the conversation in question:

can you prove that?

For the purpose of context the reason for my comment is that in that particular episode of G’day World he claimed that he has no female listeners with his sole evidence being that no female had left a comment in ages – which incidentally I had.

So to answer your question I’m either a girl or a very pretty boy with boobs and without a penis and quoting Blackadder:

a boy without a winkle is a girl

And now for the fun of it here is some evidence of my female status:

To the left is a photo of my mother and me acting like fools… As you do.

Below I have a strip of photos of my sister and me from a modeling doodad we did for a salon in Sydney. It would take an exceptionally pretty boy to pull that off. For reference, the one with the straight lighter coloured hair is my younger sister. I’m the one with the psycho curly hair.


Goodbye sweet friend


It is sadly time to say goodbye to my friend the treo 600. Over the past 6 months I had proudly downloaded all sorts of useful apps like a uni timetable system and a diet tracker. However I have now moved on to a v3x and the phone portion of my lovely smartphone is now pointless so I will sell it 😦

Fortunately that means that I can now think about buying a new pda 🙂

I was devastated to discover that the Palm T5 is now no longer available as by my reckoning it is way better than the TX however given I have a couple of SD cards handy, its an ok substitute (and I do like the gun-metal grey) However, being an impoverished uni student I’ll have to wait until I’ve freed up some cash by selling the treo before I can afford it so I might carry the treo around for the pim functions until I find a buyer.
