games

You’ve been playing online games then? Counterstrike is pretty darn good. Sniper-rifles. Was that monkey ball for the gba or cube?

dollars

2 whole New Zealand dollars!!! by god that’s fresh cash! No wonder you’re running out of the ready…

monies

I recommend delaying your trip to Thailand (as you are booked there for 2 months?) and doing a touch more kiwi-picking in Kerikeri. Hey what? I can’t believe you are spending so much money! Best start earnign some soon.

sherri s. tepper:
“Many of Tepper’s books explore the consequences of mankind inserting itself into an alien world and running afoul of the complex and interwoven alien ecosystems.”

“Sideshow” – full of gods and such, sounds weird, but not bad. poor ending.

sfsite highly recommends “Singer from the Sea” – kinda like alpha centaui situation, but one “tribe” per planet.
also “Six Moon Dance” – sounds good. planet gets a visit from the “questioner”!!. much doom.
“The family tree” – ecological theme. not sure about this one.
“Gibbon’s Decline and Fall” – somewhat political (actually I ge the feeling they all are!). feminist.

Early work is less good aparantly.. “More impressed with the ideas of the series than the writing”.

I say, buy one and see:-)

24 v2: nay:-o I reckon we should just get the dvd!

blog

Well, I was creating this blog as a replacement to the old ltj blog that we used mainly for links and this is it. And, as blogger was refusing to work with the new servers, I thought we could just join the two.

I could create you a completely separate blog (much time and effort;-)), but then this one wouldn’t be used much until you get back (seeing as only you and I ever contributed!)

The blog doesn’t really have a title, but I guess it can. It’s pretty obvious that it’s your travel blog at the mo anyways.

After much moaning from Dod about the size of the font, I’ll look in to making a “blind” version.

Dod also suggests – as do I – that you avail yourself of the built in spell-check option! Ok, I just tried the spellchecker, and it doesn’t quite work yet… oops.

24

Man, just watched another 4 24’s with tom. EPIC:-D Best series i’ve watched in ages – really gripping and keeps you hooked. I can’t beleive people wait a week between episodes! That would take, like, half a year to watch!!!! Madness.

Also played some golf at norfolk gardens.
