Back at work after 3 glorious days in the snow with Jim, Rob and Daniel.
Broke my personal speed record on little beauty, broke my brand new drake bindings on high noon and almost broke my back on a table top.
No serious injuries to report, just a burnt nose and a lump on my butt..
Cant wait to go again.

Im going snowboarding. Im going snowboarding.
Anton, my work mate is back from being sick and that means there's no reason for me not to go sunday - wednesday boarding. :-)
Had Steak, 10 beers 2 whiskys and a couple of hours celeb spotting in the labour club with jim last night. Got an invite to Doms party tonight.
Did i mention im going snowboarding. Thinking of getting a Burton BMC and some CT bindings tommorow morning.
Note to self, organise 500 game.

No snowboarding for me.
Tim wants to weld a boat onto the top of his troopie this weekend, which means ive got no way to get to the snow.
Its starting to look like this season may be a miss. The snows not that great and itll be cold in canada again soon (cheap airfares hear i come!)
We are thinking of taking the afore mentioned troopie and boat and diving the valient (a wreck off baron joey) though.
Speaking of which our neighbours house (number 23) is now composed entirely of Laywers. Not withstanding. etc..
Had drinks with them and chris and janelle and the girls from 21 last night in the labour club (which was actually really quiet.)
Back in 1998 or maybe even earlier i got myself an account on a little public access server called suburbia. I dont hardly use it anymore, i just log on occasionally to make sure it still works. But yesterday i had a good idea.
They let you register a sub-domin of your choosing, and i was thinking i could set up:
http://surry-hills.suburbia.com.au/ and do my surryhills community contributed journalism thing there. The price is good (free) and the URL has kind of a nice ring to it. So i filled out the web form and im hoping to get an email from them soon.
