Alcohol, apparently, makes you very, very horny (I was also ovulating, so I was just one big pile of DO ME NOW! last night, heh). And then, it makes you very, very sleepy. So I didn't blog last night like I intended to. It wasn't very late when I was making the choice between blogging/working and going to sleep, but nevertheless sleep won out.
Anyway! I have some work to hurry up and knock out, and then I'll be back with a blog entry, pictures from last night, and photos for a new review I have. See you soon! :)
i finally finished painting my sketch book... yeah i'm so excited... and proud...:
yes the chinese girls face's eyeballs are way to close... bu i still like it and the colors... i adore the front of the book with they egg yolk sun... how i adore that...
oh this cute baby of my friend that is living with me for awhile is wonderfull cute... and tonight she decided to stick her finger down her throat and puke... she made herself puke like 3 times... looking at it and eating it... until her mom came over and stopped her from doing it... it was so silly and funny to see this baby do it because she thought it was new and fun not knowing it was actually bad for her...
she is adorable... and then she starts to make these cute baby noises only trying to talk and they come out in like "aaahhhhss" and "bleppp"... so cute... an adoreable... i think adorable is my word tonight...
and i leave you with candy faces... the self portraits that i love to take of well of course myself...
oh tonight was supposed to be a movie night with the drama girls and an extra girl... but it instead turned into and wine game night... i laughed my ass off... my cheeks still hurt... there was some drama that was going on but all in all it turned out to be a good night... and yes i was slightly drunk... oh i love my wine for sure.. thank you dancing bull...

So fucking nice in San Francisco today. Good call by Simon Wistow to go get pissed at Zeitgeist with some good peeps and talk some shit. Now I'm chillin' on the couch with Rudy, who is fully worn out from his long day at work, waiting for my sweet to get home from her happy hour so we can watch Hellboy and have a private party. It's a good day!
Well, I understand that it was good for the players to have a break but I for one missed the footy last weekend. It's still all very interesting at the moment and round 8 should see teams start to get some consistency in their performances. Let's take a look at what's on:
St Kilda v Collingwood: Looks like Riewoldt is out for a while which is a real blow for the struggling Saints, who just don't appear competitive for a team that has had final four aspirations for the past several seasons now. Collingwood should be in better nick after the break and they're at good odds to win this game.
Hawthorn v Port Adelaide: This match is being played at Aurora Park in Launceston, where the Hawks don't really have as good a record as they'd like. The Chad Corneless Port Power have been improving but Hawthorn will be too strong for them tomorrow afternoon.
Richmond v Geelong: A testing game for a competitive Richmond side against the premiers, but Geelong has too much all over the park for the Tigers to overcome. But put a few bucks on them as an absolute roughie if you're feeling lucky.
Carlton v Brisbane Lions: Interesting to see Voss' article today about the two young ruckmen for these two sides. Carlton of course had a great win over the West Coast Eagles prior to the break and they're playing at home to the Lions tomorrow night. I reckon Brisbane has the edge here, with Brown and Bradshaw up front to test the Carlton backline which I still think has some real weaknesses. Brisbane are the favourites with the bookies but only just, and I expect that the odds may shorten between now and game time. I note also that Travis Johnston is out for the Lions this week and he's been important for them in getting the ball out of the defensive fifty. I'll tip Brisbane, but not with as much confidence as I'd like.
North Melbourne v West Coast: Both sides make the long trip up north to Carrara stadium on the Gold Coast, with the Eagles in all sorts of trouble after a terrible start to the season. Can't see the pain ending for them this weekend with the Roos the better pick.
Adelaide v Melbourne: Despite Melbourne's miraculous form turnaround in the second half of their game against Freo last round, the Crows at home are a much tougher proposition. I'll be keeping an eye on the margin and the stats to see if Melbourne are starting to sustain a little bit of form, it'd be good to see them improve after they've been completely written off by all and sundry early in the season.
Sydney v Essendon: Sydney are having real problems without Barry Hall, the past couple of matches (vs the Kangaroos and then the Western Bulldogs) have highlighted how much better the team functions with him up in the full forward position. An easier week for the Swans against an Essendon side missing key ball runners Lovett-McMurray and Adam McPhee. Sydney to win out at the former olympic stadium.
Fremantle v Western Bulldogs: [sigh] I'd prefer not to write anything about Freo at the moment after my last effort about them. Let the football speak for itself, I reckon. Bulldogs to win.
Just a one point lead for me in the tipping comps at the moment, so this round could be a key one if I stuff it up. Can't see too many people trying to pick upsets, though as with most weeks there are a few opportunities here. Would be nice to get a perfect eight score without a draw being involved. Good luck for your tips, enjoy the games you see.

Folks,
I'd like to put in a counter bid of $1 to get him to keep her, just to spare us all the horror!

Now here is a nice new feature for the GPS that I really love. I received a newsletter about my TomTom1 that said you can find things in Google Maps and port them to your GPS. Craned up the Maps but no button was there for the feature. Connect the TomTom to the lappy and got a new software version and there it was. Very handy indeed. Especially when travelling outback.
If you have updated software for your GPS, go to Google maps and find the business or address you are chasing. At the top of the page hit the Send to option and you can choose between email and your TomTom. Put it in favourites in your unit.
One of the serious features around Katherine is the famous gorges. They are 35 k out of town and are best viewed by boat. We checked out the options and decided a 9 o’clock start was not too onerous and in 4 hours you got 3 gorges and smoko at a pool under a waterfall. Bewdy.
We popped out there the next morning and had our first encounter with fruit bats. These are quite large beasts and pretty wiffy too. A big bunch of them were sitting in 3 trees and one with attitude sitting in one on his own. Must have been one cool bat.
Now we are in the dry season, the water flows are more sedate than in the wet and the water level is about 5 meters lower. What this means is you have to walk between the different gorges to change boats. Quite a pleasant experience. The walls of the gorges are spectacular and the plant growth amazing. How they survive high water levels is beyond me.
After getting to the end of the 3rd gorge we back tracked to the waterfall and a few brave folk took a dip in the chilly waters. Sadly we didn’t see a freshwater croc on our trip but other folk in the park went the following day and saw one sunbaking near the starting point. (Else it was a plastic one to give em a thrill.)
Enjoy the shots

Folks,
I'm licking my wounds at not having had the cojones a few years back to invest in Fortescue Metals Group. My complete respect to Andrew Forrest for persevering in this tough town to make FMG the third force in iron ore mining in Australia, behind BHP and Rio Tinto.
In such a mining-dependent town as Perth, lots of us city folk owe our new-found confidence and prosperity to the thousands of men and women who shovel and ship dirt everyday in Western Australia's hot north. We take great pride in helping to fuel the construction boom that's happening in China because almost all of our resource shipments go there - base metals, rare earths, LNG, LPG, coal, you name it. And then, there's also India waiting in the pipeline to buy our dirt.
And gee whiz, it is good to see someone like Andrew Forrest make good on his promise to turn his venture into a reality. All the more sweeter given the number of knockers who were/are around to wait to see him fail.
Success doesn't always follow hard work, but it is nice to sometimes see it happen. And it is good to see a genuinely nice bloke, who just happens to also be Australia's richest man currently, be the man of the moment.
Credit where it is due.
