Good Old Tom
December 12th, 2008
Showed someone at work this the other day. They enjoyed it, and I thought it was time to honour again the man who came equal first in the state in media studies.

Dating my Laptop
December 9th, 2008
With the absence of a girlfriend, tonight I have taken my laptop out on a very wonderful date. We are in terra-rossa a lovely if slightly expensive restaurant in Flinders Lane. The food here is rather good and the drinks list is most impressive.
Sadly though, as my laptop works with me we have ended up largely discussing work. We have made a few small breakthroughs as we often do when we meet outside the confines of the office. I think that we both prefer the informality of working outside of the office.
Hats
December 7th, 2008
“All the world ’s a stage, and all the men and women merely players. They have their exits and their entrances; And one man in his time plays many parts” As You Like It – (Act II, Scene VII).
Today, and yesterday I didn’t wear a hat. Yesterday none noticed the absence. Today however so many people noticed it was funny. It kind of spun people out, weird how I’d been boxed so well. I spent tonight watching a horrible movie (Never Been Kissed) at one of my friend’s house. It made me think about clothes, perception and power. I wonder how often I am an actor. I know some times, taking on a role is useful.
I’ve also been thinking about how much personal defence I still have. I am interested to cut through to the truth and the core of me. I am challenged at the moment, thinking about my use of facetious comments and how I hide behind that.
