More Random Social Pics - December 2005, January 2006












It was New Year's Day and I was at Robert and Talulah's place. We are all in this photo, if you look closely. Even if you don't look closely, we are there. We are in the reflection of the mirror ball that someone gave Talu for her birthday. Unfortunately, R and T have nowhere to hang it properly in their flat, so it remains hanging-mirrorballless.

Simone and I took The Eric up to see 'da Cedar Creek in December, as part of his indoctrination into Australian culture. I can show some of those pics later. For now, the shot below is what happened afterwards. I believe Simone's arm and part of Eric's body is in the shot at the left.










Hot Chocolate (above) is a very fine establishment in Paddington. Simone and Sophie swear by their choc-mint milkshakes, but seeing as how dairy and my innards disagree, I recommend their choffee - dark chocolate and hot coffee. The black version of a mocha drink. Here, in the above photo, I examine myself, my position in the world and how it relates to chocolate.











I was in Paddington one day and saw a frangipani flower on my car bonnet. I placed it in various positions to take a mobile phone photo. This is the best of them, on my windscreen.












I don't have many photos of Elly, but I would hazard a guess that this is singularly the worst of the lot. Taken at Cheers Tavern just before Christmas.

Random Social Pics - December 2005, January 2006

These are some random pics from recent times, taken with my mobile phone.











Woodford Folk Festival, New Year's Eve: These children were charging 10 cents a laugh. I gave them 20 cents but they only laughed the same amount as 10 cents. However, they were so good at laughing for just 10 cents that I felt like it was child exploitation.











This is Talulah with her favourite shirt where she works at Retro Stop, Lutwyche. She tried to convince me to buy this shirt. I said no.











As far as I can remember, this site, next to an Indian restaurant at West End, has been like this ever since I came back to Brisbane in 2003.














I was picking up some Chinese takeaway at mid Ashgrove when I caught sight of this beauty. I used to think I was bad at parking, but no more. That's my shadow in the bottom right hand corner.
