A list, a list… everybody loves a list. Today I had a brand new installment in my list of Top 5 stupidest things I’ve carted across town on my scooter.
Betsy, my darling, my drafthorse. Bearer of a fool and his silliest whims. Today, #2 on that list was well and truly commanded […]
Somewhere out there, in the shallows of the pacific swims (or whatever other verb describes the movements of a sea louse) a very content sea louse. A few hours earlier, the louse, no doubt hungry from doing whatever lice do, decided to feast on my sausage and spuds. After settling ‘pon my nether […]
I found this website interesting. It shows that top 100 contractors used in Afghanistan and Iraq between 2004-06. At first I thought the sums were large… and then I realised I’d missed a few 000’s and realised they were huge, $52 billion in all. Although I’m not in the line of fire, […]
Well… honours is done, submitted, completed, finished, and over. In what was a stressful final few days and weeks, the paper took on its final form with not too much drama and slowly tottered towards the required word limit. After a final proofreading on the due date and the requisite printing dramas, it […]

Locked in a slow burn of blurgh..,
Like a boar on a spit in perpetual rotation.
Crackled and grizzled by ever patient coals
Woe is me; fair game, for the next sorry soul…

I’ve been to a few places in my time. I was fortunate enough to spend a year and a half overseas drinking calimocho, beer and revelling (with some compulsory study attached). I was also fortunate enough to get to attend my good friends’ wedding in India with Storm. From these many adventures, […]
Given that I can’t afford one, I may as well run with the other…
So, as you may have noticed, I have now switched to the Chaotic Soul wordpress theme. The old default was getting a fraction plain and boring. I really like this one; however, the text does appear to come up a little small. […]
I guess it’s finally happening; this time for sure…
After two failed attempts and countless thoughts of quitting (for reasons too multifarious to mention), my honours has reached the point of no return. Last week culminated in the handing in of my last ever assignment - a 3,000 word research proposal. It was a stressful affair, […]
