Some of my photos from my first trip to Hong Kong in December 2010.

It’s a city that attacks your senses more than anywhere else I’ve been too (including New York!). The tumultuous crowds, the smells, the raw energy and its hectic bipolar personality. Wow!

Some of my happy snaps from my first trip to Japan in November/December 2010.

A week in Tokyo, a couple days in Kanazawa, a couple in Takayama and then Kyoto, Uji and back to Tokyo.

Beautiful country, super polite-to-your-face people, food you could die eating because it’s so delicious, and just clean clean clean!

Barely hanging onto sanity

Dear M.L.,

Being defeated…

Vent all you need to. They ruined it and we’re the monkeys.

Looking for a photo

Do you have a good casual pic of me? I have heaps of casual pics of you.
I want one for my Slanted author image. A good one where I’m not necessarily looking at the camera but still seem friendly and intelligent – rather than stupid and stoned like the attached photo. Oh wait! That’s you in the pic not me!! =P

Better to be silent

If someone sends you a stupid forward message is it ethical to use their friend’s email addresses?

Perspectives

There’s only a couple of avenues I can take in replying:
1. Is to go down the BS street and tell you that yep things are going to be fine
2. Things aren’t going to be fine, that life is hard work and nothing is guaranteed
3. Things are going to be ok, even if they don’t go as planned.
4. Failing isn’t so bad, sometimes it means you can go somewhere else.
5. Failing is bad, life is going to suck from now on
6. We’re all going to die one day, who gives
7. Hey this is life, life is experience, life is about hard times, good times.
It’s how you approach it. Perspective.

did anyone reply P about the meeting he wants?
i read the script and thought it was stupid – so i ignored his email.

Reply: Under rug swept

Yep I read it, but I haven’t had a chance to talk to my sister about replying to him. She’s had exams etc. Apparently Cass also read it, and thought it was stupid.

Our broody hen (who has been broody for the last 5 weeks) finally has chicks to look after! Five of the eight eggs hatched, giving us two Rhode Island Red chicks and three Australorps.

Gorgeous and undeniably adorable!

We bought the fertilized eggs from Barter And Sons, located in Luddenham, which is just west of Badgery’s Creek and about 30 minutes west of Cabramatta. They specialise in pure breed Australorps, Rhode Island Reds, White Leghorn and cross bred chickens. Very helpful friendly family business with reasonable prices.

The “mother” hen is a bantam of some sort, I’m not sure what she is exactly though I suspect Brahma since mum said they used to have them in Vietnam.

I hope the chicks have mostly hens… or I’ll have to advertise to sell the roosters =(
