Gazellorama: October 2005

Giddy up and go

YAY! Finally i'm mobile again (for those in the know this has a double meaning). Yes i'm spent more money than i've ever spent before, but what the hell, I really needed to have some decent wheels. This zippy Astra should get me about quite nicely. Now I just have to repay all the lifts i've aquired over the past month from my friends (assuming they are brave enough to put up with my driving) ;)

The Common Cold

Well if you've been in contact with anyone in Hobart over the past couple of months, chances are that you've come down with a cold. Why is it that they can cure any old life threatening disease, yet when it comes to the cold / flu (whatever you want to call it), they can't do a bloody thing!!!

I mean are we really going to wiped out by the chickens? No, they'll cure the Bird Flu no worries. Its safe to say that the drug companies have quite a say in all this, and curing the cold would just destroy the profits created from items such vitamins, echinacea, and new fangled drugs like coenzyme q10 (at $35 a bottle!). Lets face it the common cold is here to stay, and boy does it suck!

If I ever meet someone that works for one of these pharmaceutical companies I'm going to kick them in the nuts! *sniff* *sniff* *cough* *sneeze*

Death to this guy below....

Lost and found?

Well that's what I'm hoping anyway... The problem with having expensive & small electronic devices is that they tend to just disappear into voids. The Camera that has given me so much pleasure over the last 3 or 4 months has gone walkabout, and I don't expect it to turn up any time soon.

I guess the positive is that I haven't lost any pictures, and that it may be recoverable, to some extent, by insurance. The bugger is that I don't have any new photos to blog! Actually that's not entirely true, here are the final photos taken on the Nikon 7900 :(

Suspicious characters...
