Thursday, January 30, 2003. Three days into my new job, and two C. Sections later, while the outside world was roasting in furnace-like conditions, (It was 39ºC in the city and 44ºC in Penrith, so it was somewhere in between that where I work) I finally delivered a baby in the normal conventional old fashioned way today, with a bit of help from Mum, of course!

Ok, I'll stop right there with the description before everyone loses their appetite. (Sorry if you're about to eat! Posted by CC at 17:30.

Confessions of a japanese impressionist. Friday, September 26, 2008. Japan's online social scene isn't so social. September 26, 2008. TOKYO: Like a lot of 20-year-olds, Kae Takahashi has a page on U.S.-based MySpace, and there is no mistaking it for anyone else's. It's got pictures of the funky Tokyoite modeling the clothes she designs in her spare time, along with her name, plus personal details and ramblings in slightly awkward English about her love life. It's not just mixi. It's Japan. Welcome to Jap...
