On a whim I decided to head to the Sydney Roller Derby League grand final tomorrow. It will be my first live game (other than the one I reffed in). Some of our girls are bouting because the Sydney league is currently riddled with injury and swine flu. It will be great to cheer our girls on and see how they do it there! I...

Kick boxing is fun for the little bit that I've done.

I got my grades today for my first semester of university EVER! There were two grades I expected, a distinction in theory and a credit in technical drawing (I was sick and missed a few classes), but I didn't expect a distinction in life drawing or a high distinction in my workshop!

My septum piercing was a reward for the good mark on my essay,...

Hey bitches, I'm back!

After many months of ex-related and fuckbuddy dramas, they are now over. I've moved in to the unit my partner and I bought late last year and started university at the ANU School of Art which is fantastic.

I cycle to school most days and I've taken up rollerderby so I'm a lot more fit but quite tired.

I sort of...

I finished reading Dan Brown's 'Digital Fortress' last night.
Worst.Book.Ever. I would say that was worse than 'Talk Nerdy to Me' which I didn't finish.

Dan Brown seems to be obsessed with and enthralled by sixth-grader level codes, puzzles and historical trivia. Maybe it was because I was in high school in the last decade, but I found very few of his 'revelations' new or...

Thank you!
Yeah, I made the polymer clay beads, they are so much fun!

I usually read a magazine in bed, so even if I fall asleep while I'm reading, I don't miss anything that important.

Hmmm...I haven't been reading much fiction in the last couple of years but that is a particularly tricky request. Good but not too good?
Kurt Vonnegut? He is always insightful and entertaining but never has a particularly strong narrative drive so you don't get a "what will happen next" urge.
The Lindsey Davis Falco novels are always good light reading but can be difficult to put down.
Asimov's Foundation series are all quite episodic so there are plenty of natural breaks at which to stop.

So does anyone here have a trade?

If so, what is it? How do you find it?

Females, is it particularly difficult?

I've been considering getting a qualification in something. I'm tossing up between a few things, carpentry, landscaping, electrician...

Plumbing? I don't know how things are in your hemisphere but in the UK plumbers are making more than phds.

My friend loved her jewellery. She was particularly impressed by the quality of the workmanship because she used to make her own and she recognises the skill and care that went into the pieces.

Tradies are so hot right now.

Here in WA if you're a skilled (or even largely unskilled but able to walk upright without dragging your knuckles too much) worker you can pretty much walk into a job anywhere and be on excellent money.

Carpentry is a sure thing as most chippies can go from housing, to furniture to cabinet fitting almost at will. (Which is good, because it's usually done indoors in new homes with aircon.) Plus, in carpentry you don't have to worry about electrocuting yourself. And have you ever tried to get mate's rates off an electrician? It can't be done - because sparkies don't have friends.

The only draw back is carpentry leads to marijuana use....or it might be that marijuana leads to carpentry...I forget, but the point is, I have a wicked bookshelf to keep my albums on now.
