( more aquarium pics , featuring otters )


a rather "interesting" looking creature, a granulated seastar

and thats all of my pics from that trip :]

Incase you hadn't noticed it's VERY hot today.

Also evaporated soy milk still tastes really strongly of soy milk. I used it in pasta sauche today, and when it was actually on the pasta it didn't seem to matter so much, but the taste was REALLY strong during the cooking.

The end.

Lost his battle with cancer. Will be sadly missed.

Hello

Well, Christmas is pretty much over and if you are lucky and generous relatives gave you cash for Christmas, your thoughts may be turning to……shoes, naturally!

Here are some of my current favourites:

Mina Perhonen, I saw these in Japan, but they were way out of my price range, Im never certain about Western boots, but these had butterflies

( Read more... )

last night we went and saw Sherlock holmes. must say Watson was great (Jude law, well improving with age) quite an enjoyable film all up, and a good few hours entertainment.

I did think the woman playing Holmes love interest was way too young to be his love/nemesis adventurer criminal world traveller type, and that annoyed me a bit, but the actress was fine enough other than being at least 10 years too young.

today we went to the Zoo. public holiday on top of xmas break meant it was awash with prams and strollers and toddlers and small children so the journey through a lot of the exhibits meant we just didnt get to see some things (monkeys, butterflies etc.) as it was crammed full, and i couldnt be bothered , but got to see most things and took lots of pics , whcih I'll go through once i finish editing and uploading my Mooloolaba aquarium and my xmas snaps :]

and here we go again...

BleedingCool.com showed it off yesterday. Your first look at the cover to Wormwood: Gentleman Corpse Volume 2 the Deviant Edition Hardcover. Should be out later next year. ( As opposed to early next year ). When I know more details I'll scream them to the world. Going to be a large chunk of extras and spiffy trim in this one, as with the first Hardcover.

hi ya , I'm home from tassie !

had a good Xmas , though the week preceding the kids were sick (with a childhood illness called slapped face/ fifths disease, it looks like German measles) so we didn't get to go anywhere exciting this time, as they were to be in isolation and were feeling sick and awful.
but lucky they were all better by Xmas :]

we had some family around for Xmas dinner at my sisters, and more family for leftovers for tea, and today was (our) traditional boxing day lunch of more leftovers, with some family that had stayed around :]

I got a salad spinner for our kris kringle, which is what I wanted , but had a worry when i was packing my suitcase that i wouldn't fit it in, but managed to just squeeze my clothes back in around the box :]
(oh and apparently my tallest Santa has ordered something for me, that will arrive in the mail, and its' a surprise :}

hope you all had a great Xmas eve/ day / boxing day and that Santa was good to you too :]

Merry Christmas to all of you. It's a little sad for me: there's nothing like spending 'family time' with mostly strangers to make you realize how lonely you are.

On the plus side, Scott really seems to like his present. I bought him a Nintendo DSi with Scribblenaughts. Watching him summon forgotten souls to kill bees and beating a bear to death with a shovel to complete a level is kinda awesome.

I'm pretty terrible at gift giving, but it was nice to finally have the money to try and improve my skills in that regard. And also nice to be so conveniently located right near an EB. I've been stuck at work for weeks and worried I wasn't going to get the chance to do ANY shopping whatsoever.

I'm back to work tomorrow, but, I did get myself the best Christmas present ever: some time off and a reduction in hours/days worked. I think I really need the break.

Also, he's not letting me have my present until tomorrow. Grrrrr, I hate surprises!
