friday!
the surf is good, the sun is shining, the wind has all but gone, and it's blowing offshore. come in cyclone ivy! why the hell am i at work! i think i need to make an excuse to go and install a computer somewhere, somewhere close to the beach.
with hindsight, going out with the lads to celebrate them losing at twilight soccer grand final last night could have been a bad idea. and when we were at the first pub, only 2 blocks from home, and the coach said "come on lads, who's going to the tavern?" i should have snuck home. 500,000 18 year olds crammed into a small space. (hmmm but mini skirts are nice :-) ) hangovers are natures way of telling you that you are an idiot and you need more sleep.
thanks Tony for pointing me to the book quiz. as you can see, ulitimately i signify nothing. drat. why couldn't i get the hitchhikers guide to the galaxy.
You're The Sound and the Fury!
by William Faulkner
Strong-willed but deeply confused, you are trying to come to grips
with a major crisis in your life. You can see many different perspectives on the issue,
but you're mostly overwhelmed with despair at what you've lost. People often have a hard
time understanding you, but they have some vague sense that you must be brilliant
anyway. Ultimately, you signify nothing.
Take the Book Quiz
at the Blue Pyramid.
update:
well so much for that idea. i've got the computer ready to go, surfboard is waxed and smelling pretty, wetsuit hasn't fallen to bits yet... but where i was meant to go, there has been a accident and two people killed :-( i know the intersection where it happened. it's a disaster area. the road is blocked for 5 hours we are told. that has just wrecked a few families' friday.
