Meg we all missed you :o( but hopefully we'll see you there next year.

Lots of Love

De and Trav.

The buzz from the bat's wing
Flying Overhead
Leads but to the darkness
Of your empty bed.
As triggermen and thieves
Reach deadlier ground,
The man with the washtub
Is making no sound.

And don't look back to the
Place where you came.
It's just a lighthouse
And all stays the same.
So bring me your entrées
Of hookers and wives
Who laugh in the alley
With crochet hook knives.
Their lives all mistaken
For worry less times,
While we sit and wonder
With desolate minds.

So sing me a tune that
Is catchy and new,
With all the hallmarks
Of American Blues.
And don't try to hide
Behind one of your smiles.
Just come around and
Say that you'll stay for a while.

PARTY TIME

Hi Hi

Well just a reminder that our party weekend is this weekend :o) If you haven't 100% confirmed please do so before Thursday morning :o) so we can do the shopping properly.

We have decided that we will do pizza on the Friday night then a bbq on Saturday night :o) so I have a $5.50 pizza's voucher so if everyone could please make sure they have enough for themselves?? That would be great :o)

Love
De

My Emo Poem

His feet are on my bum
And his bed smells like Jesse Bradford dog
And he always has half eaten packets of chips
Tied up with rubber bands
And it breaks my heart in two
To see him do this
But my heart will stay broken
FOREVER
He will never change
He is "eating pizza shapes" with another woman
"Killers, killers", they chant
He laughs and eats
And breaks my heart in four
He offers me "pizza shapes"
And I cry
Dog smell bed
Why me, why?
He breaks my heart in six and eight!
I cry

Fin.

I have my final exam on Tuesday of next week WAHOOOOO I can't wait for it all to be over :o)

How did everyone else go??

I'm thinking about deferring for a year because I need to concentrate on my health which is slightly more important than a degree I won't be getting for another 5 years anyway lol.

Okay well I better cruise before I bore you all to tears

Love De xo

PS if you can't tell I miss all of you soooooo much :o(

So yeah should be fun, there won't be any rooms available though as we will have a house full of tenants, we are aiming at having a few double mattress's though (more comfy this time lol)

We are still at the same place as last time, so bring alcohol, togs, towels, bed things, nibbles, any special foods u prefer and start saving as I don't plan to serve lunch unless it's left overs (being us thats very possible).

Anyway I dont mean to rain on the parade of halloween (is that how u spell it) sorry about that :o(

Josh's Photos: Issue 2

I'm planning on turning Through Glass Eyes into a mobile photo blog, but I thought I'd better first update it with all the old photos.

Issue 2 is now up. My how time flies!

NaNoWriMo 2005

Last November I won my first NaNoWriMo and I can hardly believe it's nearly that time again.

My novel from last year, Tales of Andrew Waters was really fun to write, and a good challenge. This year I'm tossing up whether or not to do a NaNoBlogMo. Also I'm definitely not spending so much time on it this time around; who cares if it doesn't make sense.

So, I hope everyone that took the plunge last year comes back again for another shot, and anyone else who's ever wanted to begin a sentence with, "Back when I was writing my first novel..." to check it out and give it a go.

And on a different note:


Do it for the php girls - code more! NaNoCodeMo anyone?

Halloween Party

Ok, a halloween party place has been found.

When? 29th October 2005, from 7:30pm
Where? Josh's House

MAKE SURE YOU COME IN COSTUME!!!!

BYO drinks. Munchies provided. Feel free to bring more though.

Katty

Whats going on!?

Lol someone needs a life.

Remember the fake katie and tom blogs? Now someones made blogs for Angelina Jolie's 2 adopted kids. Maddox, who's like 4 or something, and Zahara, who's like 7 months.

Zahara

Maddox

Zahara's one is hilarious

Go the Cowboys!!!!!!

It's Grand Final time again and usually I'd be having a Grand Final party, but this year instead of watching it on TV, Lyn and I are going to be there!! Woooooo!!

We had arranged everything a couple of months ago when it wasn't really a case of which two teams were going to be in the GF but who would be playing the Broncos. Unfortunately they decided they were sick of being on top of the ladder and didn't want to win anymore games this season a few weeks out from the finals, however, having the Cowboys there is the next best thing.

Is everyone as excited as me? Probably not but it's going to be one damn fine game of footy so you better make sure you all watch it. Maybe you can find a bar somewhere that's playing it Meg.

Writers Festival

hey, is anyone going to the writers festival at all this week?

its on from thursday to sunday... mostly at southbank, but there are events at other locations also.

should be interesting :)

Halloween

Just wondering whats gonna be happening with halloween this year... we need a party place!!

Monthly bbqs

Have you all been keeping up with the bbqs?

Or do I need to organise you from a different country?

Due to the lack of interest, the future has been cancelled. Sorry for any inconvenience. If you have any enquiries, please don't hesitate to call 666.

Time Difference

So, I have an assignment to do for tomorrow about the election in Germany right, and I am on the internet to get information about a person I have never even heard of, and I go to The Australian. Mainly just for Australian news, and I find the most informative article that I've found all day. Anyway, point of the story is, it's 18:25 on the 15th September, and the article that I will quote was written on the 16th. How's that for trippy?

google

type "failure" and hit the im feeling lucky button

ARGH

Goddamn stupid European keyboards!
Oh, and my address is:

Goodwin Meg (either way, but they have a thing for the reverse order here)
Zimmer 102
Fuchspaß 32
35039 Marburg
GERMANY

And I have a letterbox - how cool is that?

Enough Is Enough

Anyone else get this in their email? I doubt it would make a difference to the ridiculous prices at the pump, but it might be an interesting experiment to try anyway. Power to the people! lol:

IT HAS BEEN CALCULATED THAT IF EVERYONE IN AUSTRALIA DID NOT PURCHASE A DROP OF PETROL FOR ONE DAY AND ALL AT THE SAME TIME, THE OIL COMPANIES WOULD CHOKE ON THEIR STOCKPILES.

AT THE SAME TIME IT WOULD HIT THE ENTIRE INDUSTRY WITH A NET LOSS OVER 4.6 BILLION DOLLARS WHICH AFFECTS THE BOTTOM LINES OF THE OIL COMPANIES.

THEREFORE THURSDAY SEPTEMBER 22nd HAS BEEN FORMALLY DECLARED "STICK IT UP THEIR BEHIND "DAY AND THE PEOPLE OF THIS NATION SHOULD NOT BUY A SINGLE DROP OF PETROL THAT DAY.

THE ONLY WAY THIS CAN BE DONE IS IF YOU FORWARD THIS E-MAIL TO AS MANY PEOPLE AS YOU CAN AND AS QUICKLY AS YOU CAN TO GET THE WORD OUT.

WAITING ON THE GOVERNMENT TO STEP IN AND CONTROL THE PRICES IS NOT GOING TO HAPPEN. WHAT HAPPENED TO THE REDUCTION AND CONTROL IN PRICES THAT THE ARAB NATIONS PROMISED TWO WEEKS AGO? REMEMBER ONE THING, NOT ONLY IS THE PRICE OF PETROL GOING UP BUT AT THE SAME TIME AIRLINES ARE FORCED TO RAISE THEIR PRICES, TRUCKING COMPANIES ARE FORCED TO RAISE THEIR PRICES WHICH EFFECTS PRICES ON EVERYTHING THAT IS SHIPPED. THINGS LIKE FOOD, CLOTHING, BUILDING SUPPLIES MEDICAL SUPPLIES ETC. WHO PAYS IN THE END? WE DO!

WE CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE. IF THEY DON'T GET THE MESSAGE AFTER ONE DAY, WE WILL DO IT AGAIN AND AGAIN. SO DO YOUR PART AND SPREAD THE WORD. FORWARD THIS EMAIL TO EVERYONE YOU KNOW. MARK YOUR CALENDARS AND MAKE SEPTEMBER 22nd A DAY THAT THE CITIZENS OF AUSTRALIA "ENOUGH IS ENOUGH"

(sorry about the caps, it was written that way and I'm too lazy to rewrite the whole thing)

You Know You're From Australia When...

You Know You're From Australia When...

Your next door neighbours can be from Tunisia, Israel, Indonesia, Japan, Zimbabwe, Iraq, Brazil, Spain, Malaysia... The community is so concerned over the fact that muslim women can't use public swimming pools because there are men present that they have female-only periods. The Greeks and Mexicans next door ask you over to have a barbeque. You don't actually use the words 'sheila' or 'shrimp'. You sleep with Aeroguard on. You're wearing a cap emblazoned with 'Get A Dog Up Ya.' You feel obliged to spread salty black stuff that looks like congealed motor oil on bread and actually grow to like it. You actively dislike Americans, but watch their TV, eat their food and worship their idols. You think Tall Poppy Syndrome is a national condition. Democracy means the freedom to draw caricatures of John Howard. Your idea of a lethal weapon is a slug gun. The closest you ever got to going overseas was your packet of 5 Days In Rio grundies. A posh meal = an all-you-can-eat buffet. The term "musical instrument" also extends to wobbly bits of ply-wood, hand saws, gum leafs and combs. Your most offensive curse also doubles as an exclamation of awe or amazement, like, "fark orf!" All of your internationally famous people don't live here. You think footballers dressing up in drag on TV is funny (but your son being gay isn't). You relish test cricket - the longest, slowest game in sport (and that's not even counting the replays). After all, what else gives you an excuse to sit on your arse for five days, watch TV and sink piss with your mates? You don't drink Fosters, but you let the world think you do. The only thing better than beating the Pohms at ANY sport is giving them shit for it. You love, adore and admire a particular team/sportstar/actor on a winning streak - until they lose. Then they're just crap and 'past it.' You can compress several words into one - ie 'g'day', 'd'reckn?' This allows for more space for profanities. You favour either Holden or Ford - or a souped-up WRX with new kit and a bootful of subwoofer. Driving down the main street/beach road playing bad techno is your idea of a perfect Saturday night / Sunday arvo. You make kooky films, sometimes about wayward road trips (across the outback preferably). Quite a few are crap. You know all the words to Khe Sahn but not the national anthem. Your nickname ends in 'a' or 'o'. You have a customised stubby holder. Your soap stars become pop singers and move to the UK. You've ever used the words - grouse, tops, ripper, choice, sick, rad, exo, ace, wicked, ballistic - to mean good. And then you place 'bloody' in front of it when you really mean it. Your cooking apron has plastic breasts on it. The "Aussie Aussie Aussie! Oi oi oi!" chant has been a religious experience in the past. The blokes at the local gym think your weight training is an opportunity to ask you out on a date. The big national sporting events are men-only. Your politicians believe than sticking the prefix 'un' in front of your nationality is an effective way of making you sit down and shut up. Our mantras are 'fair go for all', 'mateship' and 'little Aussie battler' - but we still publicly condemn those with different viewpoints to us. The barbeque is a male-dominated arena. And the women do the salads. 'Fair go for all' excludes indigenous people. An eight-hour trip to go camping for the weekend isn't out of the question or excessive. You take pride in living in a tolerant multicultural society but firmly believe that all Poms and Kiwis are fair game. You insist on asking every celebrity who steps of an aircraft what they think of Australia. If the response is not overwhelmingly positive, they should be subjected to immediate public ridicule. The private lives of footy and cricket players become more important than local and national news stories. Slick pick-up lines like 'Wanna shag?' and 'Carn, show us yer tits' can constitute male-to-female conversation. You say 'no worries' quite often, whether you realise it or not. You realise you have no Bill of Rights. The first thing guaranteed to get eaten at parties is fairy bread. So that's the special ingredients that make up an Aussie - whatever your taste. You actually get these jokes and pass them on to other friends from Austrailia.
