Oh you do NOT want to interview that for job. It’s all posing for weird pics and questions about pants.

Big Trak programming skills required!
It’s not that bad. :)
A friend of mine has had a medium case of psoriasis for all his adult life (he’s nearing 40 now). While it obviously has affected him, it hasn’t prevented him from leading a productive life, with a lovely wife and two great kids.
There are a ton of treatments. Some work great, some never work, some work for a while and then you grow resistant to it. It varies from one individual to another. The “natural” treatment is lots of sun and lots of saltwater (i.e. go swim in the ocean if you can).
Probably the most important thing is to accept that you have this condition. Sure it sucks. And sure, people may stare. But it’s not going to kill you or disable you (except in ultra-extreme cases). So how much it affects you is mainly up to you.

Hahaha. I excel at calendar coordination and I am proactive about reminders, Leah! Let me sell myself to you and Gary. Wait, that didn’t come out right…
I’m considering personal assistant positions, actually. :) Last night I was at an event that was geared towards getting more women into Ruby programming (I have zero programming skills). Before I even walked into the door, I met a recruiter, and, not ten minutes later, had a phone interview for a position as an Executive Assistant scheduled for today! The CEO of the startup had me do an email interview first though, and we’ve rescheduled the phone interview to tomorrow.
Today I went and saw my first crop circle!
This one:
Its amazing how unimpressive they are from the ground, when you can’t actually see the pattern.
Still kinda cool to trample around what is most definitely an ALIEN LANDING SITE.

I spent a month doing research and finally decided to upgrade my cat food to one of the reporteldy more healthy options, even though it’s more expensive. Last week I started trying to feed it to my cat, who has switched foods before with no issues. As of today it is looking like this one isn’t going to fly. She hadn’t touched her food much for two days and kept bothering me, so this morning I put a handful of the old stuff on top and she greedily ate it. When she got to the new food, she stopped. What’s left is a mix of old and new, but she’s clearly picking the old stuff out and eating that while ignoring the new, healthier food.
Apparently cats also have that problem where what’s good for them is not necessarily being what tastes good to them.
I’ve heard that cats like their food salty (and some cat food manufacturers cheat by adding salt to their crappy cat food), so sprinkling a bit of salt on the healthy food might do the trick. Though I suspect feeding your cat lots of salt may rather negate the healthy bit.

View from my new apartment in freezing Melbourne, the Antarctica of the South. Flagstaff Park is the dark bit in the foreground, the Bolte Bridge is in the middle, and the lights of Port Melbourne and adjoining industrial areas are in the distance.

What’s with all the buildings and stuff? Australia’s supposed to be outback desert. Where are the wallabees?
Where are the man-eating kangaroos and the dingo-eating babies??

Man eating? This one is roo eating, totally going for the jugular!
Taken from outside my little cabin in Longreach at the start of the year, and I think they are wallabies, but I swear, they were gonna kill each other until they saw me. I reckon the rain was pissing them off.
By the way hong, when I see that pic of Melbourne, well, dude, that is a lot of night lights! Does Melbourne never sleep?

So the saga of the ailing Lexus continues. In the past month, we’ve spent about $4k on the thing. Included in this total is: Washing and detailing, new tires, new steering rack-and-pinion, steering pump, water pump, serpentine, timing belt, oil/filter change.
(Edit: Oh, and a new battery, too.)
The scary thing is… it’s been worth it. Yes, you can get a new car for that much money. But not one that feels like a $50,000 machine all over again. With the steering fixed, the oil changed, the new tires and the clean-up, it’s starting to look like a car with only 65k miles on it, and drive … oh man, is this machine ever a sweet ride. Definitely a chick car, but a sweet ride.
While you’re dumping money into your expensive car there are hungry-eyed children all over the world who need a Nintendo Wii.

Jeez ppl, there’s more to Austria than just vicious wildlife, you know. There’s the majestic Southern Alps and their meadows of Alpenhorns, the Murray-Danube river with paddleboat steamers, the cosmopolitan cities of Vienna, Sydney and Melbourne…
We need a Photoshop of Heidi riding a Roo stat!
Do remember a trip to Queensland and a dive with Smaug!
Just finished a film shoot with Bear Grylls. Apparently the guy is famous or something? Honestly, I didn’t actually recognise him the first day of the shoot (“oh, that’s Bear is it? Right…”). I’m like one of these crazy hermits. Went down into Darwin for the wrap party, and the show kinda spilled out into the nearby pub(s). It was only then that I realised just how well known the guy is - we got mobbed. He loved it though, for realz.
And yeah hong, get your ass to Darwin and meet Smaug. Melbourne must be bloody cold this time of year!
I guess it depends on how much time you spend in the car. I would have to do a lot of driving to ever justify a $50,000 car.
