Heading off on holiday to Darwin for a couple of weeks with a few days in Ayer's Rock.

May have sporadic Internet access, no guarantees.

See you in a few weeks!

So, uh, hypothetically speaking, if an, um, let's say a friend of a friend, asked for a recommendation on a decent panel beater in the Welshpool / Cannington / Kenwick area, what would peoples' responses be?

From [info]dgillmore

"Go here and keep hitting random quotes until you get five that resonate with you, then post them in your journal."

My results:

The cruelest lies are often told in silence.
Robert Louis Stevenson (1850 - 1894)

Humor is a rubber sword - it allows you to make a point without drawing blood.
Mary Hirsch

If knowledge can create problems, it is not through ignorance that we can solve them.
Isaac Asimov (1920 - 1992)

The nice part about being a pessimist is that you are constantly being either proven right or pleasantly surprised.
George F. Will (1941 - )

Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter.
Martin Luther King Jr. (1929 - 1968)

From a discussion which began yesterday.

Is Iron Man (the movie) Mysoginistic, Sexist, both or neither?

Time:07:43 pm
Current Mood:[mood icon] accomplished but exhausted!
I had quite a busy / social weekend, which is somewhat unusual for me, as I've been hermitting / working on MBA assignments.

Friday night, lovely dinner at [info]black_samvara's and [info]maharetr's with [info]ascetic_hedony, [info]mynxii, [info]shrydar and [info]rabbit1080 as well.

Later on [info]ascetic_hedony and I pinned down [info]maharetr on [info]black_samvara's bed and tickled her mercilessly to death (well, until she called baleese), whilst [info]mynxii and [info]black_samvara watched in amusement.

Saturday, [info]amarillion and I went down to [info]cheshirenoir and [info]callistra's house for dinner. [info]amarillion cooked her awesome chicken in plum sauce, and there was much soaking in the spa, drinking of wine, and geek gossip.

Sunday morning, I picked up [info]maharetr and [info]mynxii and we headed off to [info]madradish's picnic, to meet her parents. Stopping along the way for coffee and food, we ended up using a bbq to heat up ham & cheese croissants which whilst not exactly healthy were lovely.

After the picnic we dropped [info]maharetr off in the city, and [info]mynxii as I headed off to the WASFF meeting, to give a progress update on the status of Swancon which I'm chair of for 2009. Despite being a long meeting (4.5 hours!) we accomplished quite a lot.

Then it was time to give [info]mynxii a driving lesson in a shopping centre car park, where she worked on gear changes, indicating, turning, stopping and starting. She did really well, and felt up to driving home herself, which was successfully accomplished.

Now, home and relaxing, time for sleep.
