What's happening?

Okay. I'm back in Brisbane now.


Oh, and Sigur Rós were great. I caught up with some great friends, met Rys for a short spell one afternoon, and was fairly unwell for the last 36 hours or so.

Still haven't fully recovered. It's a weird feeling.

I'm in Melbourne from today until next Tuesday.

I'm seeing Sigur Rós tonight. Should be great. It always is.

Meanwhile, I'm microblogging at twitter.

This one's more or less just informational. More or less boring.

It was two weeks late but yesterday I handed in a project plan for a report tentatively titled "Look Who's Talking: Why your brand needs an online community manager". I am hoping for good feedback. Meanwhile I have to produce an annotated bibliography.

Erin, with whom I shared the birthday party last week, had a small dinner with friends on Wednesday night at the Himalayan Cafe. It was crazy delicious and, between 9 of us, it worked out at just $20 per person. Afterwards we drank some wine at her place and then we realised it was after midnight so we all trundled home.

On the way home, I decided not to put my scarf on and, as a result, I ended up with a wicked sore throat which ballooned into some sort of flu-y symptomed horror. So I spent Thursday in bed (typing up the above project plan) and today was spent in bed watching The Machine Girl and Hellboy.
Miso soup is doing wonders for me. I might cook some pasta shortly, too.


Tonight I'm going to head to a little house party. And I'm still a little bit flu-ish as I write this, but a lot better than I was yesterday or this morning. Bed rest FTW.
Tomorrow (Saturday) night, I have a small dinner party to attend.

Supposed to meet someone at the State Library, too, but we're still organising that.

And that's it for now.

Did you get this plague going around?

What are you up to this weekend?

Unquestionably the best birthday party I have ever had. Quite possibly the best party I have ever attended.

The party peaked at about 30 or so people, and the night finished with about eight of us discovering the sun coming up, realising it was time to head home.

Thank you to all who came, especially Tez, Rook, cleverthings, Conjure, Daeos, Necrosis, Kye, ponderch3rry, Dye and S_Eldorado (pretty sure that's all the SG people who came, right?). It wouldn't have been anywhere near as fun without all of you.

It's one I'll never forget.

Happy birthday to me. I am turning 29.

Thank you to those of you who texted me or sent me other messages in the wee hours of this morning.
You're wonderful and thoughtful.

I'm having a birthday party next weekend. The details are yet to be confirmed. It'll either be a house party or out to a bar somewhere (or both?).

Since my last post, it's been a weird few weeks. I've been angry at friends, resolved problems with friends, disappointed by friends, made new friends. I have started to better appreciate the local music scene of Brisbane: there are some great musicians here.

I've been re-learning to have a good time, too. I kinda forgot after some uni chaos, so I've had to learn it all over again. I'm enjoying it, though. The ups and downs. The thrills and spills.

Change is good.
