Went to Caroline Springs to look at houses today. There's a strange feeling when u enter the area. It reminds me of Stepford in the Stepford Wives, where everything seems so nicely designed. We went into three houses and all three were similar, but with slight variations. One of them was particularly appealing to Shirz and I. The owners had taken all the 'extra' options, and it was priced particularly lowly because the owner needed to sell the house to pay for their new one. But an hour's commute to work by car every day was just too disturbing. Back to the hunt.

As promised, this is that picture of ginger in my office.

Looking forward to another ski weekend coming up with Om, Sher Lin and Shirz's friends. This time, I'm gonna try to be a little more adventurous with the snowboard. Will likely end up going to Mt Hotham and staying at that place where Shahn 'laid the titanic' ;) (Too gross to describe)

Have been reading the news about the anniversary of the Atomic Bomb on Hiroshima, and the reports from survivors. It's kind of disturbing that something so massive happened not so long ago in the world's history. I can't really imagine a world war happening in my lifetime, yet in a way, terrorism is more real (as in it could happen to any of us) and on just as large a scale. Worse yet, the borders can't be defined so we never know who's winning.

I do know George W. is getting more and more heat though. There's a woman who has a whole support group protesting her son's death and then there's the question of whether creationism should be taught in schools.

Kind of tough to be Bush I guess. Especially when you've got whole websites dedicated to keeping track of slip-ups that you make.
