things I'm a little over

It's Thursday. A little grey and humid. I'm currently feeling tired of having to sell myself to the vast unknown in order to move forward. I applied for a couple of jobs, sent good intelligent applications addressing all the criteria well, well written and confident without being over the top, and... Sign in to see full entry.

summer comes again

Summer's coming. Daylight savings has started. I went up to one of my favourite beaches on the weekend. I've always had a fondness for Palm Beach. I guess its partly because of the sweeping arc of the beach punctuated at the end by two big bluffs, one with a lighthouse. And then of course it faces... Sign in to see full entry.

ascending achievement

On the weekend I scaled the heights of a mountain (well with the aid of a well defined walking trail and some well placed ladders). Now there was a sense of achievement: ascending to a height; looking out on the blue undulating world of mountain ranges, forests and sheer cliffs; an entirely new... Sign in to see full entry.

what I wrote for my profile on a dating website...

If you know the pleasure of trees sighing in a breeze and sunlight dancing on the ocean read on.. I'm a man with simple tastes: love bushwalking and nature photography; travelling; movies; great literature; ice cream and jumping around when I hear a song I like. I like to see and be inspired by... Sign in to see full entry.

how baby got real dirty

I went for a drive up the coast for the weekend partly to see some new sights and partly to give my new car a trial. I found my way into Barrington Tops National Park via Gloucester. The track quickly turned into winding gravel roads punctuated by fords which provided great opportunities for... Sign in to see full entry.

the beginning of brilliant expeditions

I stopped by one of my favourite shops after work, Map World, a small shop in the city dedicated to selling maps, globes and other related items. I walk into the shop and it puts me in adventure mode. If I was living in a different place I'd be tempted to buy a big old fashioned globe. So I picked... Sign in to see full entry.

I have been slack

I couldn't believe the last movie review I did was back in May! Click HERE NOW! Isn't somebody meant to be keeping an eye on me in these matters. LLM! You let be get slack. You know sometimes I deserve to be treated bad, real bad, nasty! Oh its just a phase he's going through. Anyway I have reviewed... Sign in to see full entry.

my russian correspondent

One day, when I openned my email, I found one of those spam emails from the most beautiful Tatyana from Russia. A quirk search showed the city she was emailing from is one of the most notorious spam generating locations on the planet. But I was bored so I sent a rather indifferent reply. She replied...

the means to move

I believe that I have found the coolest car in the known universe. It's blue like the ocean in a deeply reflective mood or like some kind of very blue drink with a small umbrella artistically lodged in the top. I'm surprised at my enthusiasm over a car. It hit me all of a sudden when I saw it. I'm... Sign in to see full entry.

jazzing it up

There's a great pleasure in drifting through a Sunday afternoon in the sure knowledge that you don't have to be at work the next day. On this sunny day I took the ferry to Manly for the annual jazz festival. It's a very popular event and I'm sure that's partly because it's predominantly free. There... Sign in to see full entry.
