Fubar drinks vodka and ice, ladies Thank you to everyone that made it out to my party on Saturday night. It was simply amazing to see such a great turnout for such short notice. And I didn’t have to pay for a single drink that night except when Fubar thought he’d be really clever by…

Ok I’m stumped. Where is a good bar, lounge or club to hold a function? I’d like something in the city and there would be about 30-40 people. Dress code would be smart casual (because I’m not so full of myself as to submit my friends to formal dress). What are some of your favourite…

Seven years working in this marketing job without a hint of job satisfaction since the first two weeks of his starting there. Adrian was the sort of everyman that aspiring writers across the globe wanted to weave into the centre of their novels; to paint the quiet agony of the faceless drone and represent the…

So I’ve had my Sony Ericsson K750i cellular phone for over a year now. It has been very good to me. It has helped me take photos, check email, take phone calls and read Wikipedia. Here are some interesting words that I have had to teach my phone: The built-in dictionary actually already has a…

Taken at Chapterhouse Lane Little girl in a blue dress Who knows a good website that might list more places in Melbourne (or Seattle) where I can find some really intriguing graffiti?

I went to submit my papers for an Australian E-3 visa in the Melbourne Consulate yesterday. Here’s some quick tips. Reduce the amount of metal things you carry. There are two sets of metal detectors to go through and you feel ridiculous carrying your belt in your hands. While there is a booking system, that’s…

Here is the sequel to Link Fiesta 2004, it’s Link Fiesta 2005! These were all at one point, things that I linked to on my blog during 2005. I’ve picked some of the more interesting ones (and thrown away all the broken ones). Feel free to peruse them and see if you actually remember any…

So I’m back from my vacation in Venus Bay (in Southern Victoria). After spending eight days just staring out at (what I assume to be) Bass Strait, I feel a little stronger. Like I now carry around a little more life experience. 22 Candles Thank you to all those that partook of my birthday muffin…
