January 2010
Dear FutureMe,
It’s Sunday the 31st of January and even though you’ve known about this site for ages, you finally decided to come here and make use of it. As I type this up, there’s a few things happening in your life. The breakdown from a few years back is pretty much over, the depression is under control and while you may always need drugs, it’s a small price to pay. While it has been...

Leukocytosis = High White blood Cell Count

So, while this could just be an undetected inflammation, stress, infection or allergy, due to my past history it means I’ll be going in next Friday to once again be placed in the blissful embrace of a general anaesthetic so I do not have to fully experience the joy of a “violent anal dilation” and a combined colonoscopy and gastroscopy. I hope it’s just a virus.
Tomorrow morning...
So I drove out to that property I was dreaming...
up the mountain along a few miles of dirt road and finally got there … to discover that someone has completely destroyed this land.
It’s obviously been mismanaged, no rotation of stock, every paddock was obviously over-populated with hoofed stock and it’s been so overgrazed that 24 of the 30 acres of top soil is dead. So much so that it’s already showing severe signs of...

I think I also need to add “complete tasks” and “stop procrastinating” to that list of things for my ikigai.

Finding my ikigai.
My raison d’être. Not just a passion, but a deep understanding of what will bring me true satisfaction and meaning to my life.
So, to work out what that would be, i needed an understanding of what I perceived I needed to ensure that satisfaction.
Set up my life so that I am constantly nudged into physical activity. This can mean walking for short trips,choosing the manual rather than...

redcloud asked: What is your single favorite book ever?
Holt, in the name of love ...
Jack,
I come bearing no no gimmicks, no humorous cake images, no sexy ladies wearing skimpy outfits.
I offer no trite remarks, or fanciful ideals.
I still have not delivered on that package I promised I would send you last year.
What I offer, other than the badly punned title to this post, is my affection and friendship.
I cannot begin to express the height of the esteem I place you upon. You...

Just found my English teacher's facebook

Clicked on his profile pictures.
173 photos of monkeys, and monkeys alone.
wtf.
Check again, has he named them all?
Are they all named after students?

So, I browsed through as many Sacremento Fuckyeah Teachers Union (SFTU) posts and associated flickr photos as I could, and now am about to drop off like a pensioner into my bed for some sleepy bye byes.
If you have pics of Flat Me - please post them up, I love the ones I have seen so far!

There was some kind of party or something. A bunch of teachers, I heard. I think it was in Sacramento.
Damn,I hear that teachers...

4 day long weekend
In which I had hoped to do many other things (including the gratuitous perving of San Fran posts) has instead been hijacked by a trip to Adelaide that my dear Mrs has organised. This means I will probably not have a chance to see much in the next few days, and any posts will be posted blind via my phone’s tumblr app.
I’m sure I shall amend the situation when I return Tuesday evening.

Tumblr has an engine.
That engine is powered by Awesome Magnetic Personalities (AMPs)
156 AMPs have just drained out of the Tumblrvrse and into San Francisco.
This has meant an extreme destabilisation of the Tumblr Weave, thus creating the dashboard anomalies we are experiencing.

Also, with that many AMPs free-ranging around San Francisco, it could cause changes in the space-time...

WatchThis was a sweet little piece - an 89-year-old woman and her beloved Chariot. The two have been together for 43 years and traveled more than 540,000 miles across this nation’s highways and side streets.
Just a reminder to take life by the, steering wheel, and drive where you want to.

Discoveries

About 2 years ago, I discovered molecular gastronomy. If you’re unfamiliar with the term, it’s simply incorporating the scientific process into cooking. MG in practice is simply introducing new methods and ingredients to take cuisine to places no one ever believed it would be. Due to the fact that, by and large, it requires specialized equipment and ingredients, it’s always been fun to...

I thought of this because I am super smart and it’s against the law to text and drive and so I was bored and had nothing better to do and oh my gosh it is so timely based on this quote I stole from a reblogged post you were recently involved in,
