I can't beleive another shark has been spotted only 500 metres out from the beach.
There goes my summer filled with carefree days at the beach!
I know its the sharks home but why are they coming so close now! they never used to .....must be all the commercial fisherman clearing out their stocks of feed.
those bastards!!

hey, thanks for dropping by my journal!. I live in Manhattan right in the middle of NY City. It's definitely an interesting place to live. Though I would rather be in Australia right now, as it is quite cold!
Good choice on Nina Simone . . . nothing else is quite as relaxing.

My family is so fucking wierd and wired. Last night was the celebration dinner for my uncles 60th and if it was a prelude for Christmas then we are in for an interesting day on Sunday. There is so much latent hostility that at the reasonably fancy chinese restaurant, when a fight broke out at a nearby table, just about every one at our table...

No, I work way out North..but it's worth the drive, great people to work with and the customers are alot more interesting.
I think we should definitely revive the idea of an Adelaide hook-up in the new year...if you survive your Christmas that is!
(I couldn't resist, I ate the Cadbury's Roses...not quite how I remember them)

Well, well....it never rains but it pours round here, literally AND figuratively. I've lost sixteen kilo's and when i returned home after a week recuperating at my folks, i found the results for my STAT test (the test to get into uni) and was astounded to discover that i blitzed it and made it into the top percentile, beating 99% of field. I was further...

Yeah, I finished a Bachelor of (Indigenous) Archaeology at Flinders...completed one third of honours...hated it...went to UniSA to do a post-grad in Information Studies (a fancy wanky title for librarian studies)...completed one quarter of it...hated it! 
I've applied for a Cert 3 in Beauty Services at TAFE for next year (fingers crossed, there are only six places being offered). That's something I've wanted for a long time.
The Indigenous studies centre at UniSA (Yunggondi?) is really good, if you get Wendy Nolan, Sid Sparrow or Keith McCon-something you'll have a great time. Very nice people. Wendy does contemporary social issues stuff and has alot of personal experiences that she shares...really brings alot of Indigenous issues to life.

Yes! Bill Edwards gave a couple of lectures for Sid's course, he is the cutest little old man! He has a good sense of humour...
I am familiar with the Findon road, Main North oppies (both very, very good) but am unfamiliar with the churchie one on Henley Beach road...I don't often go to churchie ones anymore simply because alot of them are shopped out and they have funny opening hours. There are two Salvo's on South road which are fantastic, the Glenelg/Brighton ones are good also as is one in Hallet Cove. Christies Beach is great, best jewellery and they sell everything...I was in there once and this tiny old man came in and enquired about walking frames...and they sold him one! They have alot of 70s light fittings and stuff you won't find elsewhere...Magill Salvo's has good clothing as does Port Adelaide and Elizabeth. In case you can't tell, I'm addicted to Salvo's...I like the way they're set up like a huge rummage store, they have alot of range and you're more likely to find something. I need a fix at least once a week

My son and I are going to stuff our faces (again) on New Years
Have a good one!
thanks for popping up in my journal.
nope it's not me in the pick, it was taken by a indy-journalist I corresponed with for a while when I was in Oregon. I like it, but considering the chaos that is protest, I think it would be unlikely to ever find an actual shot of myself... You know? Found one online about five years ago, but it was to obscure...
