Oh Man
I’ve just been told that an old friend of mine, whom I’ve known for like 15 years since we both lived in Timaru (and who’d also moved up to Auckland) is in the central Auckland hospital – His parents called me tonight to let me know that he’…
What Colours Do They Come In? I'm Just Asking.
Saw this site today: http://www.lifegem.com/ I feel slightly evil, in that my very very first thought was that one could decorate one’s throne, crown, etc with lifejewels made from one’s conquered enemies. Must! … Stay! … Good!…
Eagle Has LANded.
SO, Chris had a small LAN gaming session ’round at his apartment last saturday, which I attended. It’s much easier to pick up and go to those when you have an LCD monitor. I plan to purchase a new case for my machine that’s smaller than full-tower, to…

Maybe Whittling?
I won an auction for a digital camera! I am so happy. I haven’t ever had a real one before. Only lame little low-res crappy ones. Also, I left my cellphone at home today, for the first time in a long time. It’s a very curious sensation. I…
