Exhausted.
We spent all day yesterday packing and all day today moving into our new house. Our new house that we own*. The first house we’ve ever owned. And if all goes well, the last we ever own.
It’s a big old rambling 1940s home on a good sized block in the hills about 10 km from [...]

Some bricks now, baby, let’s build a home.
The more we move ahead the more we’re stuck in rewind
I think I have to stop fooling myself. At some point every day I decide that I’m going to take some time and, damn it, blog. But it just doesn’t happen. I’ve spent three days planning to write this little snippet of a post. Life is full. And priorities change. And time is spent, better [...]
She wore red dresses and left the wounded behind
I don’t really have time to write – it’s exam marking time – but I can’t stand seeing that beanie wearing, budgie smuggling, buffoon every time I open Safari anymore. So here’s a photo of Boy Z putting the moves on a cute blonde at a wedding we went to last night.
Because nothing brings that paternal [...]
Dwight Yoakam "Buenos Noches from a Lonely Room (She Wore Red Dresses)": Play Now | Play in Popup | Download‘Cause there’s too many places I’ve got to see.
I was feeding Not Max his dinner last night listening to some music, as you do, when the inimitable opening chords of “Free Bird” came on the iPod stereo. “Free Bird” is currently on my iPod because I’ve been watching the outstanding, if slightly raunchy, ‘Californication‘ lately on my commute to work. The song plays [...]
Good morning, how are you?
I’ve been informed that Not Max is six months old today and that I need to write a post commemorating this because I did so for Boy Z. So, well done Not Max. Well done for keeping a smile on your face despite dealing with the negligent parenting that is the lot of the second child. [...]

Kazoo, kazoo you are mine, kazoo kazoo every time
Not so little and not so Max, apparently. After a night of reflection, Dr. O’C has decided that he’s more of a Harry than a Max. All irrelevant really as what we need is a good internet pseudonym. Any suggestions are welcome.
Blur’s ‘Turn It Up’ is Harry’s birth song. Wouldn’t have been my choice, but [...]
Mind the mess
I’m trying to snazzy the joint up a bit, so apologies if things are a bit wonky for a little while. I’ll have it sorted out as soon as possible.

Give me back the Berlin wall, give me Stalin and St. Paul
Well, this week kind of got away from me. Add moving house and a continued lack of internet at home; multiply by the normal amount of day-to-day crap and what you get is one blog post a week apparently. The lack of home internet thing is the biggest factor, I tend to read and write [...]
Dixie Chicken
The Rambling Canuck’s post about Little Feat got me thinking about Lowell George and Co. I firmly believe, and am willing to fight anyone who disagrees, that “Dixie Chicken” is one of the top 25 rock albums ever. As I wasted away the remnants of a Friday afternoon. I found this YouTube clip:
