Clairport.

On Sunday, as I was about to drive Claire out to the airport, I did something I think I should be a proud of.

I saw two guys walking along, looking like complete wallies, confused looks on their faces, spinning around looking around, they looked utterly lost, so I said "Can I help you guys? You guys lost?" and they said "No, we’re found, but maybe we can help you." and like magic produced some horrible looking "Christ will save you" pamphlet, not even a Chick tract or anything cool like that. Anyway, I was about to say: "Wow, you guys are completely deluded, I could smell it on you, but I hadn’t quite put two and two together, now, I suggest you get the fuck out of my neighbourhood before I have to put you in the boot of my car with a bag of lime and a shovel, I don’t really have time for a trip up north right now." Instead I said: "You’re talking to the wrong guy." Just like that.

We finished loading the cases into the car as they wandered off, looking completely lost again.

On the way home from the airport, I dropped in to Mitre10 for some supplies, and I drove around the neighbourhood for a couple of hours, but they’d disappeared, I think someone else must have gotten to them first.

Drunken. Happy/Sad.

To temper my sadness at the departure of my beloved, I had a stein of bailey’s & milk (over ice) and now I’m watching a Balinese $1.50 DVD rip of Fear & Loathing in Las Vegas while my Skyy chills in the freezer.

Good times. Suntori times.

Fare thee well.

Just got back from seeing Claire off on her world tour at the airport, feeling very sad and lonely already, invitations to social events of all kind are invited, including sitting around watching tv or bbqs or movies or whatever.

Beautiful! Perpetrating evil through ASCII art, who’d ever have thought it?

Happy Birthentines Day.

Firstly, thanks to everyone to came to my birthday BBQ, this might just be the alcohol talking, but I had a really great time, I hope you did as well.

Now, the erstwhile unnamed cat is now called Eddie, we think this is a great name for such a lovely little girl. She was quite a hit at the BBQ. So much so that I think George got a bit jealous of the attention she was getting and had to make a scene. A few pieces of steak seemed to shut him up.

There are photos in the gallery section.

Fine isn’t good.

More presents, and a lovely afternoon in a park. Great day. Shame about the pathetic little council prat at Judges Bay, at least he had the sense to give me a ‘warning’ rather than a fine ($400).

It’s strange that fines are called that, when they really aren’t, don’t you think?
