Luke ‘n’ Kim

ooze-o

wow liz, i didn’t realise i had a quota to fill!

umm, the last couple of days have been pretty crazy… last thursday afternoon i went to my first MTUB meetup which was pretty cool, even though i had to leave early to head off to go to a work dinner at a greek place in collingwood… my first greek restaurant experience would you believe? but hang on, i’m getting side-tracked…

ok, MTUB, um, i managed to meet and have a quick chat with Lucas, LisaMaree, Warwraith, mspecht, duncanriley, and even said a quick hello to the veritable twitter superstar that is andrewsayer… i was disappointed to leave early, it seemed the people to alcohol consumed ratio was just getting good… oh well next time i guess…

anyways onto the work do, the food was excellent, all served tapas style… but they probably have their own word for it hey… those vine leaf rice thingys were the best i’ve ever tasted, plus some sort of fried cheese and all the rest, excellent! …at some stage, waiters started putting bottles of ouzo on all the tables (our group was probably 120 people)… i’d never had it before; much like sambuca i guess… with all the food, beer and ouzo going around, our party (and my table in particular) got pretty loud… so by the end of the night, one of the guys at my table had thrown up on himself… and after being dropped back to his building by a cab, was found sleeping in the foyer of said building by a another tenant (and co-worker luckily enough)!

so yeah, big night. crazy.

friday night, me and some friends went to see henry rollins, such a great speaker, really funny, poignant, and maybe endearingly a little insecure… he spoke for three and a half hours and in that time, took two sips of water. I didn’t get bored at all, just uncomfortable in the chair, and my brain needed a break to absorb and try to go again…

saturday kim went to a friends wedding in the afternoon and i looked after liam, great to spend some time at home with him after the previous couple of days, he’s become quite aware of smaller sounds, and he’s learning that he can actually shake and bang things to make noise… this is particularly great come bath time and water is going everywhere!

sunday i went to a mates bbq and played some poker, lost on some silly bets… who chases a 3? damn. 20-20 hindsight as they say…

did you know all pure white cats are deaf? i didn’t until sunday arv. sometimes i’d love it if bebe was deaf, damn… although she is becoming more affectionate (because of the cold, i think)…

ok so, i’m gonna go without proofing this post too thoroughly… enjoy
(correcting me).
