it’s true, i do. is it not plainly evident?

to make up for it, here’s more random deviantART-ness.

The most viewed deviation on good ol’ dA. pretty quality stuff, well worth a watch.

EDIT: stupid deviantART plugin not working. just click here instead - [link]

my wife rocks. out of a couple of thousand entrants she’s a finalist in 2 categories of canon australias photo5 comp. essentially they send you 5 things and tell you to take a photo using each.

so i think ya’ll should go here and vote for her. she could win $5000 worth of camera gear for each entry ($10000!)

her pics are the 4 girls on the park bench in the pro entrants for the crayon (and also, take a look at how cute our girls are!) and the pro entry for bubbles against the really blue sky.

so help her win!!!

man, i’ve been so busy lately. more busy with this webdesign stuff than i think i’ve ever been. but i’ve been enjoying it also, so that’s a big plus :D

also, Melbourne Cup is on this week. tell me which horses to put all my savings on so i can get rich, k?

someone really should buy me this.

and finally, FISHCAT!

just waiting on jess to get home before i watch it :D

So the other night jess and I are headed to an early Christmas party in the city and we need to catch a tram for a couple of blocks. Now this is at peak hour and it’s a pretty packed tram but jess and I manage to get 2 seats facing each other with both of us sitting next to strangers.

The next stop the person next to me gets off and about 15 people get on. And every single one refuses to sit next to me :(

Finally this lady very reluctantly takes the seat, but only after leaning over me to open the window and even then she sits right on the edge of the seat.

At this point jess is in stitches and msg’s me saying “leper”. then at the next stop the chick GETS UP AND DECIDES TO STAND INSTEAD!!

:((((((((((

sup homies? not much? just chillin’? sweeeeeet.

so, $20 night on the town. well, it all started last monday when we (jess and i) had the kids babysat and went into the city for the evening. the AIPP travelling exhibition had it’s opening night so we figured we’d go visit there and make the rest up as we went along. oh, and we also sent a spending limit of $20 (we only had $30, so $20 seemed reasonable).

first stop was the tourist information centre to see what they could suggest us to do on our self imposed budget, and they were pretty much useless. we went for a walk around fed square, contemplated throwing things at the rowers (well i did at least…) and then started to potter down swanston street with intention of finding a cheap bar for a drink. instead we happened onto this kickass japanese skewers place and spent our first $5!

we wandered pretty aimlessly for like an hour, spotting cool places for jess to take photos and exploring parts of the city we hadn’t yet explored in the 4 years we’ve been here. plus i smooched jess lots, and she pretended not to like it.

7 o’clock rolled around so we went to the opening which had free food and drink - awesome. the photos were pretty cool too. we socialised a bit, i tried to convince my body it would enjoy drinking sparkling white, chardonnay and cab merlot, but it heartily disagreed with me, and generally just enjoyed the time with other adults.

after speeches, canapes and plans for the VPPI christmas party we headed off again. we jumped a train and made our way to chinatown and this awesome little vietnamese place we’d tried before and just had to go back again. $11.50 later jess had some soup (she was still pretty stuffed from all the canapes) and i had this awesome lemongrass chili chicken thing. it was a freaking massive meal for $8, look!

dessert followed with a sundae for me and a hot apple pie for jess from mcdonalds and then it was hometime, we’re just not used to all this partying like we used to be.

man it was an awesome night though. we have a starlight foundation christmas party at koko black this wednesday night, so that should be another awesome night. more free food and drink (and koko black chocolate!!!) FTW!!!!

peace out.
