tales from an ordinary world

Boots. Big ones. Costing obscene amounts of money, but I had to have them. And at least I agonzied over them for a few days while all my friends kept saying "look, just go and buy them, will you ?". Photo coming soon, when my friend's digital camera returns...

Happy birthday Steven. Just like last year, we all trooped down to the Napier in Fitzroy, and enjoyed a quiet afternoon of chatting, drinking and even a bit of pool. Eventually though, a pool shark showed up. He was great to watch (even though we were embarrassingly crap in comparison) - the poise, the concentration, the skill, etc.

I'm still adjusting to the new contact lenses I got on Friday - they're disposables, but you can leave them in for a month at a time, which means I get to experience waking up in the night and being able to read the clock. It's funny how your mind plays tricks on you though - waking up and having to tell yourself that yes, you've left your contacts in but no, your eyes aren't sore...It's a shame I couldn't get coloured contacts this time around, but I'll survive.
