So, my monthly updates seem to have degenerated to annual. This is not good. Well, it is what it is. Last update was this time last year, when TheFuckOffGirl and I were about to head out on a week's holiday on isolated Kangaroo Island, off the coast of South Australia. It was warm but wind-blown and we walked on beaches and cooked each other food...

Nice list. I was going to make a crack about the Magna Carta but I couldn't find a way to say it without being snide, which apparently is a cause for restraint now. Who knew?
elichrusos:
Will do. Plans are likely to be short notice, but frequent.

"It's Time".

That's an interesting slogan to be hearing now, for anyone familiar with modern Australian political history.

I might talke about that some more when I get back. (I've been pretty sucky at the updating thing lately, eh?) Meanwhile, I'm out for a week. Kangaroo Island, here we come! biggrin

You kids play nice now. kiss

Thanks mate!

Dallas Dancers. Apparently its a really good place to learn because its small and non-competitive. And they hire girls with tattoos, which I've heard can be a bit hard here (or anywhere for all I know? I've never done this before!)
From what I've read, it doesn't pull in as much money as some other clubs, but its a really good place to learn smile
Have you ever been there?

I lost a week due to illness (see below), which means I feel like I'm behind where I should be. I'm still "in charge" and feeling like I don't belong. I've got the "faking it" down ok though. I pretend to know what I'm doing and people play...

If you get a chance - take a look at my most recent journal. I'm just a lowly political scientist and I could use an economists input.

I have nothing of value to write here. So please post your comments to my girlfriend here, as we both know she is the interesting one in our partnership, and the reason most of you ever read this journal.

I'll ensure she gets to read what you all have to say.
