• I haven’t killed any pedestrians…yet

  Monday, June 25th, 2007

  So, I’ve been taking driving lessons for about 2 1/2 weeks now, and I think I’m getting the hang of this thing. I’ve now had a go at all the parks and I’m now able to drive at 70 kph without breaking into a cold sweat and yelping everytime I spot headlights in my rear [...]

• So much on my mind

  Tuesday, June 19th, 2007

  My head is an absolute mess at the moment, but I suspect that has something to do with the fact that I’m all jumped up on cold meds - my entire family is recovering from a cold and I THOUGHT that I’d escaped from it’s phlegmy grasp, but it appears that I am just the [...]

  Tuesday, June 12th, 2007

  People, get your loved ones off the road from 1:15pm to 2:00pm.
  Why?
  Because I’m about to have a driving lesson.
  *gulp*

  Monday, June 4th, 2007

  I’m not sure what it is about the colourless, but I find myself drawn to black and white photos more than colour. As beautiful as colour is, it can be a distracting factor that prevents you from noticing the smaller, finer details that hide in shadows.

  In The Press
  Being a media student, stories to do with the media industry (more so new media rather than old) tend to grab my attention). I don’t have the time to write up my thoughts on these stories at the moment, but will post my own response to them next week after my final exam:
  Mass [...]
