So apparently it's been a while since I last posted! Oh well, have one of these while I think about reviving this journal.

Year in the life of Lone Cow, 2011

1. What did you do in 2011 that you'd never done before?

• Created a Google+ account.
• Completed a computer game from start to finish.
• Went to a roller derby bout in Adelaide and Canberra
• Lived ( Read more... )

Today I was mildly productive and did 99% of my tax return (I just have to review it and press 'submit'), and made Nigella Lawson's snickerdoodles (it took a while to find a recipe with metric measurements! Google is taken over by imperial versions). I also managed yet another wardrobe purge - one bag to go straight to rubbish (old worn shoes and ( Read more... )

I think I am not going to be successful in my Spartan Resolution.

Work is going to have a ball, on the Saturday after my last day. Initially I had thought I wouldn't go, but thinking about it has made me realise that I would probably regret it. I have a team who are very friendly and I will miss them when I go - I would like to take the opportunity ( Read more... )

It is difficult to bring myself to post nowadays - and the few times I have felt like it LJ turned out to be down.

My job in Adelaide is turning out to be the best time I've ever had, work-wise. I'm sitting in on meetings with partners and hearing them talk about their practice groups and fields they work in, and evaluating them for the next ( Read more... )

I joined the library today! I'd waited to do this since I was hanging out for some proof of address to turn up as I didn't particularly want to use my rental agreement. (My first letter from my electricity provider turns out to be a notification that electricity costs are going to go up. Hooray!) Turns out I probably could have joined without it, ( Read more... )

Today I went with my mother to buy some things for the new work year. Specifically, I went for shoes (one pair flat black work-appropriate shoes, and one pair of sandals that could be worn to work if needed) and bras.

And I returned with shoes and bras! Shopping success! I also caved and tried on some childrens shoes. Apparently I'm a size 2-3 in ( Read more... )

Happy New Year, ladies and gentlemen of LJ. I hope you had (or are having) an excellent start to 2010.

Since LJ's been quieter overall generally, you may not have noticed but I haven't been posting much recently. There are a couple of reasons for that, some of which include that since my ankle sprain I've been a little depressed as well as ( Read more... )

Things I feel vaguely guilty to really guilty about:

• Using Facebook to stare at photographs of people I've friended like a big giant pervert
• Not finishing the 5 things meme
• Feeling unmotivated to organise outings with other people OR accept invitations from other people (and then proceed to feel discontent with myself and other people)
• Not doing ( Read more... )

I am back! Showered and tidied up after the run, of course. I tried Jungle, it smells pretty intriguing - the real test will be to see what my hair's like when it's dried.

The run itself was OK. Unfortunately, since the sun was out there were people around in the park when we went. There were three separate spots where the people were parked near ( Read more... )

That time where I self-indulgently complete a meme! Hooray!

Year in the life of Lone Cow, 2008

1. What did you do in 2008 that you'd never done before?(Not in order) Went to Darwin, graduated university, got an office job and started driving in rush hour traffic regularly (bleh), was made redundant from Starbucks, got a working holiday visa, got ( Read more... )
