Online therapy sessions are pretty sad. First there was My Life is Average – it’s kind of group therapy.
Now… there’s “My Life is Twilight“… for the truly sad and lonely.
So im 25 yrs old I have been a twilight fan since 2 months before the 1st movie came out I read the boks and loved them, Ive allwayz loved the whole vampire thing so Twilight was just my thing, so in august I got the cullen crest on my right arm Ilove it and now I feel im a cullen…
How’s this for an in store display – Pacman and ghosts made entirely out of tinned fish.

When I passed horrible and scathing judgment on the Little Mermaid the other day people leapt to the poor thing’s defence.
But here’s another analysis of Disney princesses – and it’s not pretty. The fairytale existence isn’t all it’s cracked up to be.
And here’s an analysis of the men in the stories…
They deserve each other really.
Despite what you might have learned in school – we are not on top…
I meant to post this photo with the iPhone flowchart I posted this morning.
Clearly iPhones are designed to be used when you’re on holiday in Townsville…
They’re all playing LineUp.
Sometimes my blogging friends post things that I’ve posted months before as though they’re original, or exciting.
This hurts my precious blog ego. Until I remember that I post so much stuff that sometimes I forget it, and I don’t read 90% of other people’s posts fully (except for you, dear reader).
To draw their attention to the fact that their post is old news I post a nice, agreeable comment. Including a link to my take on the post from months back.
It’ll read something like this…
“Oh yeah, I totally agree, especially in this post I wrote about the same thing four months ago”…
This is the ultimate passive aggressive blogging action. It uses one of Simone’s blog love languages (the comment) to gently rebuke the recalcitrant reader while simultaneously asserting one’s own superiority.
I will try to stop this. My last passive aggressive link comment was last week. I think I’m doing better already.
Here’s an infographic of the world if the Old Testament was read completely as a literal and scientific document with the spiritual realm housed in the physical.

Here are the official rules of Shotgun. In case you were wondering.
Though I think there should be an exception that comes into play when someone actually has a shotgun in hand. They should get the seat. This is not included in the rules.
Here is one rule I didn’t know about…
The Balk
This rule is applied when you have called Shotgun and are waiting for the doors to be unlocked. If you lift the handle while the doors are being unlocked and therefore cause the Shotgun door to remain locked, then you are “voided” for that ride. At this time Shotgun is available for all of the other passengers to call.
Here’s one man’s summary of the arguments for and against gay marriage in flow chart form.
The moral to this story is that when Christians are dealing with political issues we need to keep a healthy balance of “love” with our “truth” – and we need to stop saying stupid stuff.
It’s mostly an American thing – but it’s an interesting way to present both sides of an argument.

Mark Driscoll likes to criticise people’s “zen” Jesus – the hippy who runs around making pithy statements.
I wonder what he’d say about this Venn Jesus.
It’s a sad indictment on the state of our cultural morality that most techblogs I subscribe to are using the Tiger Woods infidelity story as an opportunity to help their readers not get caught cheating*. Because, you know, it’s so much harder these days with all the avenues of monitoring people. What if a photo gets put on Facebook? What if you forget to delete incriminating messages.
Here’s how to not get caught cheating in one easy step.
Step 1. Don’t cheat.
It’s that simple. It also works for not getting caught doing all sorts of wrong things. “Do not commit adultery” is one of the Ten Commandments for a reason. It’s not a nice thing to do. You probably shouldn’t. If by chance you’ve googled “how to not get caught cheating” and arrived here – think twice. If you’ve googled it, and arrived here, and you’ve already cheated, go to step 2.
The best way to avoid the surrounding furore, in the event that you fail in achieving step 1 is to take step 2…
Step 2. If you do cheat, confess.
That way the media/everyone you know doesn’t have a field day at your expense. And they don’t feel like they have to dig through your dirty laundry. Full disclosure is the best PR policy.
*I won’t link to the articles – they’re dumb and I don’t want to help anybody in this pursuit – unless you’re cheating at cards… I’m ok with that… unless it’s for money…
We all know that iPhones are the world’s most awesome piece of technology. They’re proof that God exists and wants good things for his creation. We don’t need the Large Hadron Collider. Shut it down now. Actually, wouldn’t the LHC be cool if it was controlled by iPhone. We had an Ergon person speak at a function recently and he told us they use an iPhone app to control and monitor substations in remote areas. How cool is that?
Anyway…
Here’s Gizmodo’s helpful iPhone usage flowchart.
Given that I’ve only got another month or so of official duties “peddling” Townsville to the world, I think it’s a good idea to get out and enjoy the scenery while we can.
Robyn and I bought bikes a couple of months ago.
Yesterday we took to the streets (and parks) of Townsville in time to take some sunset photos at Aplin’s Weir.
I made the fabled “Espresso Machine Eggs” last night. Well, they’re not fabled. I’d been reading about people’s scrambled egg making exploits for some time. I thought I’d give it a burl.
Here are the steps involved.
They were very fluffy. I’ll do it again.
Here are the photos…
