• In Brief

    • Sigh, just about to ride home in the dark - daylight savings finishing is a bad thing. 4 days ago
    • I just found out that NZ was the first country that U2 got a number 1 single in. That makes me proud, and it was for "Pride" 1 week ago
    • U2 concert tonight, being opened by the Black Eyed Peas - should be a fun night! 1 week ago
    • Why do I never have my camera when I need it. Orange sun glowing of red leaves with a dark stormy background and me without a camera 2 weeks ago
    • I'm going to be home for 2 or 3 weeks in Feb, really excited about seeing my nephews 3 weeks ago
    • I am now legally a permanent resident of Canada - woo hoo 3 weeks ago
    • google maps street view is kinda creepy, i just looked at my parents house. I think there are some trees missing since i was there last 4 weeks ago
    • Going to see Pearl Jam and Ben Harper tonight - really quite excited!! 1 month ago
    • That's pre season, pre 1 month ago
    • Watching ore season hockey. Definately feeling like a season change is on the cards 1 month ago

Gripes and Groans

I usually try to resist the temptation to use this blog as a forum for complaints, but hey – right now I feel like complaining so here goes:
