Now that my Moore College friends are on holidays i don’t feel so bad about posting some pics. We’re having a great time and soaking up the Mediterranean sun!

For me, this was one of the highlights of the revue – a very well done parody. You might even enjoy it if you’re not from around these parts!

Competed with friends at the Marly’s pub trivia tonight – came equal 3rd…Was pretty good fun!

Totally up for trying it again, perhaps at a different pub to gauge the relative quality.

Learned that PNG is the largest producer of sweet potatoes per capita!

Well it’s not sydneyanglicans but it may be as close as I get – a photo on the Moore college website:

I’m calling it for now, but still holding out a glimmer of hope that I’ll hit the big time

Tried this on the weekend – ‘overnight slow roasted pork’. (+ variation)

I cooked it for most of the day, rather than over night and we ended up using a smaller portion of meat (~3kg) and scaled as in the linked recipe. Turned out very moist and extremely tender after 9 (!) hours of cooking. The mashed veg that you end up with is also delicious.

This apple sauce and these smashed roast potatoes worked a treat as accompaniments.

Jodie cooked a very delicious lemon delicious pudding. Almost lemon fantastic!

I like this sort of cooking when having people over – it’s a fairly easy recipe and most importantly for entertaining can mostly be prepared ahead of time. I had the apple sauce made and the potatoes boiled in the morning – ready to pop in 30 min’s before we ate. Perhaps best of all, you can get cheap meat – because you’re cooking it so long its going to be tender and tasty!

So far this exam period I’ve managed to avoid blogging as a medium for procrastination. But all good things come to an end!!

Some epic uses of the super mario theme song.

p.s. I do plan to blog some more original content in the next little while. Sorry it’s been a while! (in case you care

Stephanie is guest blogging on hypnosis over at cyberpunk + bluetwin.

Steph used me as a hypnosis guinea-pig while she was training for Psychology…i’m suggestible apparently

Can you make me rob a bank? Isn’t that demonic – Satan can enter your mind that way. These are some of questions that are often levelled at me when I mention hypnosis.

Duck5/psychodougie/doug fyfe is looking for work as a bible translator…

if i was doing my own translation of Genesis 3, i would call Adam Graham, and Eve Olivia. Graham Ground and Olivia Living. heaps better than Adam Adamah and Chawa Chay (ie adam of the earth and eve of the living).

Compelling stuff

I’m really amazed by this guy’s work:

He makes art out of brown packing tape on plexiglass. I’d love to try my hand at some, but I have no idea how it works. How would you plan a work like this?

Jodie says: “why don’t you ask your friends at reubenland?” …so…any ideas?

I think it is vaguely based on stained glass techniques…
