I'm sorry I misjudged you, creampuff. You thought I was talking to you didn't you? Well think again! You're totally hotcakes or muffin, not creampuff. What I was going to say though in my affected, roundabout, misleading, wannabe-literati style before I interrupted and gave myself away was that I never really liked cream buns when I was a kid. It was probably mostly a psychological thing: there was either too much bun and not enough cream, or what I really wanted was an icecream but I ate th...

Yeah baby, yeah! All's cool in the land of Tegan tonight. Nicely set up here now but what I'm really missing is music. I'm trying in vain to get the uber-cool looking playlists (Killer Queen! I haven't heard that for waaaay too long) in media player to work but to no avail. How frustration! Wait a minute, I'm going to get my cds. It's just too quiet here. *gets up, rummages around for a few minutes, flicks through woefully small cd collection thrice, wrestles with drives, speakers and var...

Hey ya I think my brain may be empty. Normally I don't know what to write about when I first sit down to do this but within a few seconds a sentence or two comes to me and it all flows from there. Today though my mind is a blank. This may have something to do with the fact that I'm incredibly tired. It's a sad day though when you're tired after going to bed at 12 and getting up at 8. I think I'm getting old or something. It's also stupidly hot outside, so much so that I had to drive home ...

Hi everyone, just me again The storm's passed and it's boringly dark and quiet outside now. Despite their destructive properties, I love storms. They're exciting. What is it about natural occurences that make them just as watchable (if not more so) than your favourite tv show? Think about how you can just sit for hours watching a fire burn down or how incredible it is to watch the colours change and move in a sunrise or sunset. Last year when I was down the coast with some friends I stayed up...

Hey there This is about the third time I've gone to make an entry in the past 24 hours and my plans have been circumvented somehow each time. I've overcome my problems now though -- feel free to congratulate me -- and am now trying to write something before the thunderstorm that crashed around us before decides to come back to terrorise us a second time. It's been an eventful day and a half in a bizarrely non-eventful kind of way. In that I mean that a lot of little things that are meanin...

Hey everyone As a follow-on thought from yesterday's expoundment on my time at the gym, I've come to the conclusion that exercise can severely endanger your wellbeing. I know everyone craps on about how cardiovascular exercise and building muscle can prolong your life, but they're wrong. I know this for a fact, because the class I took at the gym today nearly killed me! I did a pump class which involves a lot of lifting big heavy weights lots and lots of times (when you're doing it you lo...

Hello everyone, It is my pleasure to announce the birth of Caleb -- congrats to my pals Rin and Andy on the birth of their second son yesterday. It's widely agreed that he's a cutie, though huge! Apparently he was 9 pounds 2 ounces when he was born, but as I know very little about childbirth and babies, I'm taking everyone's word for it when they say he's a little sumo. >

Hi youse I'm writing this mainly because I'm bored with the last thing I wrote and I figure you may be too. The only thing is I have no particular topic in mind today -- except maybe the fact I have "Help Me Rhonda" stuck in my head (something about Beach Boys songs today, except you may or may not be pleased to know I actually remember the words to this one). But as that's not really a topic worth in depth discussion (in my mind anyway), I will wrack my brain for some other topic for today's...

Greetings universe Now I promised last time that this entry would be wonderfully trivial and barely introspective at all and I intend to live up to that promise. Many circumstances are with me in this endeavour this afternoon: for one thing I have only about 10 minutes before I need to go and I'm also feelin' good. This may or may not be a direct result of my purchasing James Brown's "I Feel Good" this arvo, but whether it is or not, the fact that I purchased it leads nicely onto today's topi...

Howdy world I'm currently at work and as such should probably not be bashing out a random blog -- rather I should be continuing my tasks of planning this year's kid church program or doing layout on my kids' magazine. They're actually both jobs I really enjoy but I've been working on them all morning and need a break. But instead of going outside and doing something healthy and useful like manufacturing vitamin D or raising my pulse from its resting rate I'll sit here in my office until I fee...

Hey everyone I feel very content right now -- warm, dry and well fed. All good things to be thankful for, especially as there are so many who can't say the same, but even more exciting for me at the moment as for the past four days it was pretty rare that I fit into any of those categories! I've just come back from Sonfest, a big Christian music festival held out in a little country town west of Brisbane (Queensland, Australia) which I s'pose is kind of like a Christian version of Sunbury ...

Hey all Ok I'll admit it. I'm a word person. I love words. I guess you could even take it so far as to say I'm a bit of a word nerd, a term which i guess doubly confirms my 'word nerd' status as it so groovily rhymes. And I guess it's because I'm a word nerd that this came to my attention today in a situation where any normal person would have just gone "hm!" and moved on (if that). "Dagnammit" -- that's the right word, right? You know, the non-offensive swear word used by bad guys in kid...

Hey again, I don't have any particular topic in mind right now, I just felt like saying hello to you all. The best part about this is that I really have no idea who "you all" are. Whoever and wherever you are though, I hope you're having a top night and that you're happy about where you are in life. If not, reply to this message and at least you'll have someone to talk to about it. Where I am right now it's nearly half past nine on a Monday night in the greater Brisbane area. It's just...

Just a short note everyone... This blog is only two days old and the novelty's already wearing off -- I definitely thought I'd be writing more but hey, my life's busy. This entry is more of an errand I need to run. I've been asked to spread it over the web for all the world to see that THAT NAT, HE'S SO HOT RIGHT NOW yep, Nat's a hottie (well I'm sure some think so anyway -- sorry buddy ) and the world now knows it. Do as you're told and eat your brie, Teegs
