Well, to pick up where I left off many months ago--life has been rather chaotic, what with part-time work, full-time study, family obligations, and other dramas. My partner and I have decided to take the big adult step of living together, and have been searching for a rental property since the middle of June.

The montage above shows some of the stalls I visited and the people I talked to. I'll give a brief description of them, going from left to right, top to bottom so that you.... more »

Hello all, it's me again. What, another post from Angie, so soon? Is it Christmas already? Ho ho ho!
Alright, just ignore that lame intro and check your calenders to see if you have anything on this Saturday. And if you do, blow it off.
I'd like to throw in a little plug here for the Made On The Left Craft Fair/pre-Christmas.... more »

Today the serendipity fairy struck me with her wand, and she struck me hard.
My friend J (he comments regularly on this blog so you can probably guess who he is) has to leave Perth unexpectedly and can't go to John Edward's, ah, seminar, at the Perth Convention Centre, so he has given me his tickets.
