26 today.
I set my alarm for four fifty this morning. I was supposed to wake up and call home.
I woke up at six instead with seven missed calls on my phone, and everyone but dad had already left home.
Sorry guys!

This has been an excellent Friday.
Firstly, I didn't get the job, which when I think about it, isn't completely excellent.
But, secondly, Nathan has to work on Saturday now, so he can't come up. Hold on...
Oh.
I don't know if it's the heat, my cough, or something in the air, but I'm having great difficulty sleeping at the moment. I'm supposed to be getting up early tomorrow morning to take mum and Sarah to their respective workplaces, and all I can do is lie in bed awake.
I think I'll move my mattress out into the main area, and bask in the cool calm of the air-conditioner.
...couldn't sleep...couldn't sleep...couldn't sleep...
Yep. Searching. Searching for a job, a place to live, and the damn remote. We (Robin and I) have been doing some online lookin' about, and found some nice places. In five minutes I'm going to ring a real estate agent in Chatswood to ask him to take us on a Saturday tour.
But there is a problem. I am still without gainful employ, and obviously I don't want to start a cycle of debt. So I must find a job, and I must find it soon. With that in mind, I've created a r�sum� at job search, but if any of you guys know of any resources I could tap, I'd really appreciate it.
Update: turns out that real estate agents are incapable of making appointments more than a day in advance. All the people I called said that it would be much better if I were to call them back on Friday. Stwange.
Tonight I was sitting in my room reading through a Slashdot story, when I heard Jadzia meowing at me from the back of my room. When I looked behind me, I saw that Jadzia was meowing at a 30cm long snake that she had brought in for me. I clubbed it with my boot, which I think killed it, but it kept sliding about my floor, so I cut its head off just to make sure it was dead. I think it may have bitten Jadzia, as there is some blood visible on her fur, but I can't find any holes on her, so I'm hoping it's the snake's blood. I'd take a picture, but unfortunately, I lent my camera to my parents, as they're at my Auntie's 50th birthday party, I'll have to take a shot when they get home tomorrow.
It's still wriggling about on my floor.
Update: at Robin's suggestion, I fired up the webcam I've borrowed from him. I have a coupla shots of the snake. No, it's not a shoe lace.
Update The Second: I have added two 'hi-res' shots of the snake to the snake gallery.
What's more fun than filling tissues all day, coughing 'till your throat feels like grated liver, and generally feeling crap? ... I can't remember! That's the problem with being sick, it's very hard to remember what it's like to be well. Anyways, speaking of dogs, there are a couple of pics of Jake trying to walk sideways which are quite funny.
::Cough::Sniff::Groan::
Tonight was unbearably hot, which shouldn't have been so bad, seeing as though we have an air conditioner. However, it was decided by The Powers That Be that using the air-con was the height of decadence, as if we were gluttons who sought only cool, cool comfort.
Something had to be done, or I would surely die of heat exhaustion, so I decided to drive to the beach to cool down. I left home at about 10pm, and got home just after 11pm, and it's still ridiculously heated here. Anyhoo, I took some shots while I was there, though they are mostly too blurry, too dark or too badly framed to be of any visual interest. Buh bye!
Today, I am twenty three years old. People ask me how it feels, and I have to tell them it feels like they should buy me chocolate...which never works. I'm not actually doing anything tonight for my birthday, which is nothing new, not that I'm complaining, I hate doing things. *Sniff*. Anyway, this is what I've been spending my day on :
