Life in Aberdeen I remember in 2010 when I went to Scotland for a holiday, I caught up with my cousin Craig and his girlfriend Mari.  We had a really awesome 48 hour whirlwind visit to his home in Aberdeen where we walked around in this crazy-ass foggy weather (seriously, Aberdeen looks like its the setting for The Road), played ...

At Harvest, Sigur Ros played this song which is one of my favourites of theirs. It made me happy.

Per Se is American chef Thomas Keller’s urban restaurant in New York which opened in 2004.  In its relatively short existence, it has consistently been recognized as one of the best restaurants in the world.  It’s also consistently recognized as one of the hardest restaurants in the world to get a booking at.

We had an absolutely massive storm in Brisbane today.  A gigantic, Biblical-scale, thunder bolts and lightning, rain falling upwards and sideways type storm.

I’m pretty excited about how the end of the year is looking.  There’s a couple of dates and events that need finalizing but basically this is what I’ve got in store: Plenty to look forward to.

Dead tired

It’s been a long time since I’ve had a trip overseas.  I must admit, I get a little stir crazy when I see Facebook and Twitter updates from Mike, Matt, Pat, Angela…it seems everyone has been travelling and holidaying except me. Fortunately, that’s all about to change.  In December, Jen and I have booked in a three week trip to ...

Enough about politics.  We got a new vidya game console coming out at the end of the month.  The first new home console in six years! I’m a little bit excited…
