Motorbike Misdirection

“Hmm, apparently we have to drive… directly through this football oval,” Adam murmured, squinting and stabbing at his iPhone screen.
We’d trundled to the outer suburbs of Melbourne to inspect a motorbike Adam was interested in. In order to navigate to the owner’s home, we were relying solely on the Google Maps directions on Adam’s phone. [...]

Greetings! It’s been a little while, eh?
There’s been a few unfortunate events going on in the past few months, necessitating my absence from these bloggy parts of the world. Today’s the last day of 2009, so it seems pertinent to briefly review what’s ended up being a pretty testing conclusion to the year. Warning: [...]

Stretched to Death

November 6, 2009

Imagine a German Shepherd being injected with speed, then playing catch. That’s more or less my finesse on a treadmill.

I’m a Pants Man

December 29, 2008

After taking a week off work for Christmas, I had an odd experience travelling to work today. You see, I couldn’t quite work out why I was getting such odd looks on the tram. A really odd mix of disturbed and amused looks. I shrugged it off, I look odd at the best of times.

When Transhumanism Attacks

December 3, 2008

There’s a reason I like my new gym: it’s a roidmuncher haven. Let’s be honest: if you’re working out, you may as well have something nice to look at. While I’ve been to other gyms in the past, they were all much too broad a representation of the community.
No, what I have is a collection [...]

Making it to Third Bass

October 18, 2008

After a lifetime of household members unexpectedly entering a room to find me thrashing around and jumping off furniture, in what usually began as air guitar but always progressed to some sort of impression of the onset of an airborne orgasm; I decided to learn bass guitar for real this year.
My selection criteria for the [...]
