Leece's Ramblings

I visited the Doc today to see about the results of the mammagraphy and sonar thingy, and there is nothing bad happening. Good news, and everyone's relieved to hear it.

My cold is getting better. I'm actually able to work today, and I'm separating out my latest fantasy alphabet. Now this new mob I've started using, Zazzle, are pretty cool. You can choose to make your products customisable, so if I stick the A for Amphisbaena image up, y'know, just the A image with the doubleheaded snake on it, then I can leave room, and the customer can fill in their name if they like or Amphisbaena or whatever they want starting with A, so it is kind of neat!

So I'm working on that. I didn't draw them separately first, there wasn't any time.

Still got a flaky connection. *sigh* Otherwise there would be a darn sight more stuff up on the Zazzle site. Well, a bit more, I have been unwell.

Connection gone all flaky again. Well, cutting out every 1 minute for 3 seconds. Optus say the pillar down the road is enstuffed.

Rob got a cold around Thursday, has been off work but is getting better.

Leece is getting Rob's cold.

*snuff*

Kingdom of Loathing Hobopolis clan dungeon progressing very interestingly.

Watched Jet Li in Kiss of the Dragon last night. A bit bloodier than I like my martial arts (I like 4 colour) but quite enjoyable, some excellent sequences. What I most enjoyed was the dichotomy, very much Jet Li a four colour hero, pasted into a gritty noir world. In....Paris!

*snuff*

Come on rollover, I want to get back to my KoL adventure, I'm not good for much else.

Well, I didn't get eaten by zombies! Thank goodness for security screens!

Anyrate, our connection is kinda stuffed at the moment. Internode says it's Optus's problem and they're going to poke them for us. That could take a coupla day.

So if emails bounce and lympago dissappears every minute, we're here, we're just phasing in and out.

I have a basal cell carcinoma it seems, and a small Lump. The Lump gets scanned next week, and the BCC gets chopped out with prejudice next month. Now, to breakfast!

Oh yeah, and our EEEs arrived yesterday! Whee! God they're faster than the XO's! :-)

I can't believe I saw my  mother playing Tux Racer and giggling. :-D

Just a quick note to let you know how I'm going before I take Dad to the physio.

Hang about, I'll come back later, there's someone banging on the door.

Some of my readers may enjoy this for various reasons.

Today Rob, Steveg and Maureen and I rode/trained down to the Painted Fish eco village. Mum was intrigued by it and spent her birthday wotif voucher there, to stay in a railway carriage. It's very cool, and very sustainability conscious.  There's veggie gardens all around, there's fishponds and art everywhere, and the proprietors even ride recumbents, and are lovely people.

There's carriages to stay in, or a studio and cottage. This would be a very cool place to have a mini conference for games or whatever. It is very, very cool. I want to stay there!

It's  a Green Theme in the Shirt Woot Derby this week, and I've entered! Us Aussies can buy from Woot now, hooray, so if you buy from them, don't forget to vote for me if you like my designs. Don't worry. You'll be reminded. :-)

Anyway, here we are.

If you're in the market for an eeePC you might look over here. http://www.catchoftheday.com.au/smallfish_info.php?products_id=1237 $327 is the cheapest I've seen them!

Well, our video anyway.

See if you can spot a certain green topped leecetheartist and red hatted rdmasters frozen on their way from the Merchant.

We caught the train into Perth, got handed our little slip of paper instructions and then had a coffee at the Merchant, just as we walked out of there the signal went off, it seemed to be early. That might have been deliberate, I think, to catch people in more naturalistic poses.

Some real troupers stayed in the rain, very impressive.
Why on earth was that screaming going on? Perhaps someone was really freaked out.

Conversations around us were quite amusing!

Afterwoulds we had lunch at Pancakes at Carillon and then wandered to Kakulas Bros, and caught the train home.

What a lot of fun it was!

For those who are interested, I have done this to the Rearing Guardian Unicorn,  and also decided on this for the dark garments with the black and white version. I also think that I could be a lot happier if I could just refrain from bouncing ideas off my mother.

Silly old shirt.woot has a non-drawing competition, but if you're eligible you can still vote for my thrown together at midnight entry.  It's just a catchphrase comp. http://shirt.woot.com/Derby/Entry.aspx?id=15123

I'm back from the blood bank, having left a litre of plasma with them, and visited Dad on the way home and put his hearing aid batteries in and his razor back together.

Mum is having fun with the navigator we bought for her!

Gaming was fun on Friday with Tim, Bronny, Steveg, Richard and Garry. On Saturday we went for a ride to Karrinyup and then visited Poss where we had a lovely time with warm Hungarian chicken stew and lovely cakes from Poss's local. And Rob cleaned the gutters.

On Sunday we taught Saxon and Kelli to play Hive and On The Underground. And that's it really for now.

Ooh, got a postcard from Mark and Ro!
