election debate rerun
Getting Micaiah ready for bed means that 6:30pm is not ideal to watch the debate. Luckily ABC 24 Hour News has a rerun at 10pm (only HD though) and Channel Ten at 10:45pm. I wonder if there are online reruns … that’ll be good!

iron master chef
World Cup is finally over. Iron Chef is back on again – woohoo! Then there’s that Sakai appearance on MasterChef this week – nothing like a bit of cross-over to spice things up (like, The Practice & Boston Legal, the CSIs, JAG & NCIS, Greys Anatomy & Private Practice – well, technically they are spin-offs [...]
specsavers you get what you pay for
Went to Specsavers today after 4 years without an eye examination – due partly to lazyness but also partly because I’ve moved quite a distance away from my previous optometrist. I like my optometrist – she is a dear friend I’ve know for years – so not being able to visit her easily (we’ve had [...]
speaking in incantations, similes and telepathy
Some 13-y.o. was talking on the radio yesterday. Every third word is ‘um …’, or ‘it’s like …’, or ‘you know …’ I couldn’t help but wonder, where is the information in this information age?
photo catchup: Micaiah in Feb
February was a month of basking in the attention of our relatives. http://www.hu.id.au/zenphoto/2010/2010_02_Micaiah/
enjoying the voice of Susan Boyle
We bought Susan Boyle’s CD for mum’s birthday, and listened to it before we gave it to her =) Unlike many reality-tv-singers, Susan doesn’t try to be a (half-baked) songwriter as well – so she actually sings time-tested, well-vocalised tunes including cult classics like You’ll See (Madonna) and End of the World (I know this [...]
photo catchup: Micaiah in Jan
January for Micaiah was a month of learning to climb, fun with his cousins and more teeth. http://www.hu.id.au/zenphoto/2010/2010_01_Micaiah/
sick micaiah + sermon = more coffee
Last week was a pretty crazy week with Micaiah suffering from croup and needing to preach on Sunday. (It made me realise how little ‘buffer’ I have, both in terms of the external i.e. time, and the internal i.e. capacity to write a talk under pressure). So, caffein becomes necessary when buffer is low, and [...]
best baby paracetamol
I’m not one to care very much about the brand of medicine, as long as what we buy is effective and cheap. But Amcal’s own baby paracetamol deserves a mention for its (1) similar price to other generic brands (2) better tasting orange flavour than that artificial cherry of most others (3) comes with a [...]
micaiah has ‘coop’
After 3 hours in the waiting room, thats what we thought the doctor said. Coop as in chicken coop? We took Micaiah to Emergency yesterday evening when he woke up screaming – clocking a temperature of 39+. This was after a day of coughs (that led to vomiting), high temperature, diarrhea and refusal to eat/drink. [...]
