Now I can be searched.

In a narcissistic orgy I just managed to find my blog on yahoo search engine thing. Sadly it only listed it as the numer two site when you type in lost and cold". Crappy old google still hasn't gotten around to listing it yet though.

Cycle Sydney

Still recovering the 10 litres or so of sweat that I lost on the cycle sydney yesterday from the north shore to paramatta in horrid 37 degree heat. God it was awful, well the heat anyway the cycle was very scenic and pleasant.

Quake

If only it was in Auckland and caused a giant tsunami to destroy that filthy hole.

Quake upgraded to biggest in 73 years

Stupid ebay doesn't have any snakes or lizards for sale.

Procrastination

Must work faster and finish my 1st year report.
Only 20 pages to go.
By the way if you haven't yet you should get firefox you can click on the link in my side bar.

Mmmmm Sky Prawns

Locusts rebranded as 'sky prawns'

Some lovely climbing

The Dihedral Wall

Didn't win

Lost my free $10 token in about 5 seconds and I wasn't going to spend my own money so it was a fairly uneventful night. Eels were nice though.

Gambling

As much as I dislike gambling and think it is only for the statistically challenged I have been persuaded to partake in it tonight. As long as I'm not too drunk and only waste about ten dollars I should be happy.

Jealousy

To all those people in my research group who were mocking my admittedly fairly mediocre blog I strongly recommend you get your own and see if you can do better. At the very least I'll then be able to write some abusive comments on your blog to use up a little more time when I should be working.

Still haven't crashed yet.

Although I haven't forgotten how to ride a bike my abilities have certainly deteriated, which is quite worring as they were far from good to start with. Nearly managed to crash once when I underestimated the brakes and locked up going down a hill. I blame the fact that my last bike did not have brakes, or for that matter just about anything that could have contributed to the safety of the rider.

Due to popular demand...

Bike

Restaurant

Went out to dinner last night at a restaurant just around the corner from my house called Zenith which was extremely nice. I definitely recommend the truffled sausage.

Mountain Dragon

A lovely little mountain seen in the blue mountains.

Also forgot to mention I went to the hippy fest in Newtown over the weekend
