We had a birthday picnic for Sombra Jnr on Saturday at the local coucil waterpark. My mum got to meet the in laws and a few others and the little guy had a ball crawling through the water spouts as did his cousins.

Then after that the brother-in-law and I helped out a neighbour when a fire broke out in the gully across the road from us. No damage to property thank goodness, but I now know not to put sugarcane straw mulch on any garden I may ever bother with, that stuff went up like crazy when some flying embers hit it. Took out maybe a hectare of scrub due to all the dry grass and the tress still had embers burning all night and into today, so we kept an eye on it.

On the down side, my Order of the Stick evilgasm tshirt got totally covered with soot etc when the firies turned up and started blasting with their high pressure hoses. Hopefully Napisan will get it out without ruining the print.

Today, it's the little things. After coming home from shooting one of lowest scores ever for the indoor archery competition, my girlfriend made me a cup of tea and a sandwich. Those kind of things make me happy.

Been to a Wing Chun seminar tonight with Beijing Sifu Wang Zhi Peng. An eye opener to say the least, I'm now suffering a mental overload. It was excellent came away with a Tshirt and a sore arm.

For those in the know, this guy chi-saued on one leg, and he was like a rock. Unbelievable. A different class.

second day at work today. could be getting my own work station and all the software set up soon, this shit seems very learnable and doable. bring on the orders!

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.

My city's mayor just admitted live on TV that he smoked crack.

"probably a year ago"

"Probably in one of my drunken stupors"

And said he didn't lie when asked about it initially 6 months ago...everyone just "didn't ask the correct questions"

Yeah...this asshat is running my city.

Fuck.

Wife went to the ER Sunday morning as she couldn't feel the little one moving around. By Sunday evening we where officially parents after the doctor decided that a c-section was in order. So "Little" Beardface was born Nov 3, 2013 @ 8:57pm at 7 lbs 3 oz and a month early. Unfortunately he had to go to the neonatal intensive care unit and be put on a ventilator as his lungs where not fully developed. But today they took him off the ventilator and he's breathing on his own. All and all a supremely stressful couple of days but well worth it.

Life is pretty peachy right now. I've been jobless for 7 working days, cutting down trees in the garden and chopping firewood (I have my first ever axe (and a file for sharpening it which I've been doing while I watch TV)!) and seeing friends. Tomorrow I'm making chutney and demolishing ugly fitted wardrobes and on Friday I'm going to Munich for a few days. It's all rather dull (apart from Munich) but I'm terribly contented - Mr PigDog has even accused me of being "nice".

Thought you were gonna say "It's all rather dull (apart from the axe)"! Have fun chopping the hell out of stuff.

What's making me happy: Male Novelist Jokes.
http://the-toast.net...novelist-jokes/

Q: How many male novelists does it take to screw in a lightbulb?
A: He lit a cigarette. His glass of whiskey lit a cigarette too. “I can only truly love my best friend,” he said, “but not in a gay way. Women wouldn’t understand it. They’re too gay.” Both of the cigarettes agreed.

Q: How many male novelists does it take to screw in a lightbulb?
A: The beast, which had represented his feelings, was dead. “I think I’ll do a pushup,” he announced to the sea. The sea respected him for it.

Wife is out of the hospital and the little man is starting to eat on his own rather than via tube, he's still in the NICU but hopefully we'll get to bring him home early next week.

Ukrainian president Viktor Yanukovych (twice convicted) was declared "missing" by Russian State TV. As per his own site, on Saturday he planned an urgent visit to Russia for Sunday.

The plane left Kyyiv, never arrived in Russia. Ukrainian president is "missing"

All Uki Internet comments about this can be roughly split into two categories

Category 1: "He's missing? Thank God! Good riddance!"
Category 2: (@ Category 1) "Shut the **** up! You'll jinx it, and he'll turn up!"

Reading such comments is making me happy.
