I have FINALLY forced myself to finish the last of the BS "reflection journals" for my pass-fail course this semester.
Once I have my final exercise in that class on wednesday, I'll be officially done with that class.

New office. Can feel like proper corporate rats now!
It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; because there is not effort without error and shortcomings; but who does actually strive to do the deed; who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotion, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement and who at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly. So that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.

I went into Brisbane friday night and I came home sunday. Most of the weekend is just a patchy blur with the redolent of vodka as my only solid recollection.
What is strange is that I just went through my bag to find a copy of The Sound and the Fury by Faulkner within... I do remember going to the book store whilst hung-over, but I suspect that I might have acquired this book before then... I can find no receipts.
God knows how it got there, I hope I didn't steal it.
In any case, I've been wanting to read it for ages, so I can only thank my drunk-self...

Ah reflection journals. The education system never gives up on those. Drip some water onto them to simulate tears....

I'd have thought the NAB cup final would have brought you out of hiding and posting in the Messing Groove.

Should have expected your hand to be the eventual catalyst

I'm happy because I now own Llama & Camel earrings XD

Hmmm, not too sure what this "NAB" cup thing is? Some type of std? All I know is if it were something of value, Collingwood still couldn't get into the Grand Final ...

That was THE BEST PART!

Lol, the only time he isn't crying is when he's standing in a hotel room with his buds naked and there's an underage girl hanging around.

I had the big fat carnitas burrito with black beans, guacamole and sourcream I've been thinking about for the last week. And it was good.
but are they worth preserving?

I finally succeeded at making properly rising bread.
On the fourth try and I know what the problems were. It can only get better from here.

I was told today that the only person I can't stand at my job is transferring out to my states version of riften at the end of the week (hopefully) never to be seen again. I'm getting a promotion to her position, and my boss (who is the biggest name in my company in the portland market) has me slated for a second promotion within the next three months. I couldn't be happier right now.

Got a Distinction in my Grade 3 Piano exam -- highest possible mark! (though I just scraped past the boundary). Well-chuffed

It is perfectly monstrous the way people go about nowadays saying things against one, behind one's back, that are absolutely and entirely true.

I bought Game of Thrones on Blu-ray (and the map insert is awesome, I want to frame it), Kingdoms of Amalur for the PS3, tickets to see The Hunger Games on Friday after work AND it's sunny and gorgeous outside. Oh, and I finally beat a boss in Dark Souls that had been kicking my ass for the past 5 days! Happy dance time!
