(06:28:10) take three| says to [mish]: err.. In london at the moment. Just sitting in an internet cafe, plugging away... we're about to meet up with Karen and Kev for a beer. Can you believe that? Come all the way to the other side of the world to have a beer woth two people who live 300ks away.. hehehe (06:30:03) take three| says to [mish]: Man. We've been having a ball.... But all I got to say is you HAVE to check out New York. That place is just amazing. It never stops, it's huge, there's people everywhere, and it just..err.. buzzes... goes and goes and goes.. and you see famous people around and about. It's just kinda cool. And everything is like so close. Just awesome.... it'd just cost a fortune to live there, thats all. (06:32:27) take three| says to [mish]: hehehe, cram them in.... londons kinda neat. damn expensive here, though too. The old australian dollar doesn't stretch far. Nice place. All the buildings are amazing. All this old gothic architecture. that's quite amazing. Still got one more day here, and then we're off to Paris (06:34:46) take three| says to [mish]: New years was coo. Orleans is a pretty damn cool place. We all went hard there. THe yanks seem to love aussies, so we ended up not buying many drinks, cause they were all so over eager. That was bad though. We were drinking these things called Hurricanes. Man. They don't call them that for nothing. Still, it was a great night. I still don't think it really hit me th\at we were her in the US until New York, though. Those other places could have all been palces in australia - melbourne, sydney - what ever. But new york was just a jaw dropper. (06:36:33) take three| says to [mish]: err.. from pasir, it's amsterdam, then athens, then rome, then home. I tell you what, it's all fun and everything, but I certainly am miswsing home. (06:36:45) take three| says to [mish]: vstill can't type.. hehehe (06:39:41) take three| says to [mish]: hehehe... allright - well, I've gots to run. We're meeting kaz and kev at 12:00 and we've got some serious walking to do to get there... *smooch.. 'twas good seeing you... Didn't work when I first got in, I was like 'shit... she's here, and I can't even talk', but just turned of the proxy server.. *grin.. oops... I'll stick my neck in again if I get the chance, otherwise I'll spiff off a mail next time. So amazing, yesterday missing Mike, today he appears in the Articulate. It was soooo good seeing him. Now I can get thru the next few weeks and then he will be home. Everyone loves playing with 'procrastination' from yesterday. This DHTML is flipping cool. That was a major disappointment with the NCMT course, in that our 'web' tutor really didn't know his stuff. (mind you, he told us we didnt need to learn HTML cos the software does it all for us, yet the Industry feedback suggested HTML was a sort after skill) He should have introduced us to DHTML, it does so many of the things Flash can do but without having to have a specific plug in. It rocks. I got mail from Justin Longhair yesterday too. Adrian sent mail a few days ago. Look Ma, we are staying in touch. I worked on the Bumper web site again today. I did such a lot of work on that before the holidays, now I don't like what I had done and have started again. But it's looking cleaner. It's nothing super spectacular.. just a centred table on a textured background. Contents list on the left. It's a redesign, and although I don't have to completely retype everything, there is a considerable amount of work involved... mostly trolling thru the HTML to 'get-at' the hyperlinked stories. What else do I have to do? Script the Portfolio of course *ducks* I KNOW I KNOW but I am getting there. Don't have a cow, man. Mags' website needs doing badly too. All I want to do is stay home and make pages all day. Damn it, I need a job. --------

I don't have a lot to say today. I seem to be feeling tired a lot lately, not quite sure what that's all about. I scanned the paper for jobs today, my heart isn't really 'in it' probably due to the fatigue I am feeling right now, but jobseeking really is a priority. As is the Portfolio scripting. And the 'Lies' website. Which probably explains why I have been trolling thru DHTML all evening. 0244 Today I was thinking about Mike. Everytime I have raisin bread toast, I think of him, mostly cos he doesn't like the stuff. For me the smell of spicey bread toasting brings feelings of comfort and warmth, but to him they bring a screwed up face and a grumble. That's the same face he has when I mention anchovies. He doesn't like those either. Handy to know he will never stray onto my side of the pizza. I bet he's having a wonderful time too. Probably off his face in Amsterdam or some other full on activity on his world jaunt. I miss him. But that's nothing new. Sleep is such a useless thing when staying awake is what you want to do. --------

Weird, like spooky wierd. I hear a cat screaming. Once. Twice. I think it sounds like James, so I go to investigate. I can't see James, but in the street, 5, count them 5 cats sitting outside their houses, at the ends of their respective drive ways. Sitting there. Watching, or waiting. Spooky I tell you. *shudders* :: :: :: Movie visit -- Sleepy Hollow with Johnny Depp (do you think people call him 'John' now he's a grown up?) and Christina (yes I am so Dutch) Ricci. :: :: :: I bought a Dictionary today. It made me think, apart from one small dictionary I was given on my tenth birthday, I have no idea where the other dictionaries in my life have come from. Like pillows and coathangers, they just seem to be. Until last year I had never purchased a pillow yet I have pillows. Never in my life have I paid money for coathangers, yet my closets are full of them. Dictionaries *nodding wisely*.. some things just are. --------
