CAN I BE OF ASSISTANCE?

Brain Fried. Core Dumped.

I had an interesting an original thought last night that I wanted to share with you.

Unfortunately, I've forgotten what it was.

Two Long Weekends For The Price Of One!

So, just how often does Easter coincide with Anzac Day to give a three-day working week?

I'd work it out, but I think I'd rather take a nap.

Owwie

You know that headache you get just because you're tired? And all you need to do to make it go away is get some sleep? Only you can't sleep because you've got this headache?

I've got one of those.

And I Haven't Even Had Breakfast Yet

I have 20 impossible things to do before I go in to the office today, so I won't have time to blog.

Oh.

Oops.

Pixy Misa, Telecommuter

I'm working from home today. Yay me!

On a less cheerful note, I forgot to watch Buffy last night. Well, poot. And episode 10 is well and truly history as far as BitTorrent is concerned. Fortunately, Kazaa (well, Kazaa Lite) found it for me and is happily downloading now. Unfortunately, this is costing me, depending on how you want to look at it, $12, $60, or nothing at all.

I'm sticking with "nothing at all", thanks.

To Thai Or Not To Thai

Family dinner last night to celebrate my brother's 35th birthday. Since it was his birthday, he got to choose the restaurant, and as expected we went Thai.

I hate Thai food.

Probably because I'm a supertaster. Coffee tastes horrible to me (for all its wonderful aroma) as does pretty much anything alcoholic. I thought for years that wine was an acquired taste, until I learned that most people can't tell that it tastes nasty.

Anyway, everyone else in my family (with one exception) loves Thai Red Beef Curry. To me, it tastes like it's been boiled in dishwater. Some other dishes are even worse. We had a fish curry dish once - I'm not sure exactly what it was - that everyone loved so much that they ordered another serving. I had to restrain myself from spitting out the single fork-full I tried.

My nephew Lionel feels no such constraints. If he doesn't like something, it's gone. Of course, he's 18 months old and cute as a bug, so he can get away with it. Fortunately, he loves rice (though he wasn't too impressed with the saffron rice) and prawn crackers. When we'd finished our basket of prawn crackers and were waiting for our entrees, Lionel was eyeing the baskets of crackers being delivered to other tables. They're going the wrong way! Prawn crackers over here!

Oh well. The Massaman Lamb was actually pretty decent, as were the curry puffs. And rice is rice, so I didn't starve.

We had dessert at my brother's house - chocolate cake and coffee for everyone else; chocolate cake and hot chocolate for me. Mmm. Chocolate.

Oh, and remember my little internet rant, wherein I mentioned a company called Comindico? Turns out that my brother's company is a Comindico reseller, and he'll put me in touch with someone there. So I can hope to have real internet access soon! Fingers crossed, as I said.

Hello, Up There!

To whoever is in charge of these things:

Yes, we did ask for rain. Yes, we are grateful. Thank you.

But perhaps you could take a short break?
