Being small things to tall people. Thursday, January 31, 2008. Driva Man.And Quitting Time. Handed my resignation in today. Frankly an anticlimax. My Glorious Leader has been promoted and is moving on to bigger and better things, and couldn't care less. Still, wheels of industry, tomorrows another day, only a fool looks for reason in the four chambers of the human heart. Heading for Port Elliot Caravan Park for a week of seaside camping tomorrow. Ten adults, ten kids, no dogs. Wednesday, January 30, 2008.

Being small things to tall people. Thursday, February 28, 2008. There's Ya Paternity Test. On Tuesday I suddenly became aware that the Noodle was being very quiet. I went to investigate and found him lying on the couch reading, to all intents and purposes, a book. Okay, a graphic novel. Fine, a comic. Explicitly Kimmie66. Anyway, the Noodle was just quietly lying there flicking through the pages, just like he watches his Dad do. I was so proud of my son. Posted by myninjacockle @ 9:57 PM. Every phone cal...

Being small things to tall people. Monday, March 31, 2008. Thats how many the Noodle and I saw up at Brown Hill Creek yesterday. He is now of the opinion that every tree has one. Fuzzy little tree attendants. Heh. Finished two assignments today. Put on 16 kilos as can only write essay with chocolate in mouth. Posted by myninjacockle @ 8:58 PM. Sunday, March 30, 2008. Radio: Now and Back in the Day. I checked the Three D website. And found he is still on, but alternating weekends. So some joy there. That ...

Being small things to tall people. Monday, June 30, 2008. Whether you describe it as a credit to the progress of man or decry it as the loss of spirituality and closeness to nature; the fact is that most of us are mostly removed from the shift in season and the vagaries of weather. I think it's a good thing. I wouldn't fancy spending the entire winter cloistered up with a herd of goats, forced to burn dung to defrost salted herring and melt icicles from my wife's beard. Where's our midwinter feast? Like ...

Being small things to tall people. Monday, December 31, 2007. I think Neal Stephenson wrote something along the lines of 'Most of us believe that if we were pushed hard enough we could become an incredible martial artist.' (or was it Noam Chomsky? Being that I'm now thirty five and yet to be apprenticed to an oddball, taciturn karate master, have my wife and child murdered by a drug lord or my brother crippled in a blood sport - things are pretty shaky. On the black-belt front. Learn a musical instrument.

Being small things to tall people. Tuesday, April 29, 2008. There's a stop on the Gawler line named Islington. Located bang in the middle of sparsely weed strewn paddocks dotted with abandoned warehouses and rusted bogies. Who named it that? What part of it reminded them of the crowded terrace houses of the namesake north London suburb? Something about naming less than salubrious locations after iconic areas depresses me. But I also think we should refrain from naming quiet suburban streets 'Piccadilly C...

Being small things to tall people. Saturday, May 31, 2008. I write this quickly now prior to fleeing with the Noodle (as soon as he wakes) to the relative sanctuary of my Dad's house before Knickers returns from a pre-baby girls' weekend away. Knickers despises science fiction and is suitably unmoved by my protestations. I'm now in a bit of a bind. Sure I can blame the Noodle. After all he did bang a few nails in. I just don't think admitting I let our nearly two year old son let fly with a h...It would ...

Being small things to tall people. Monday, September 15, 2008. Whenever I have a fifty/fifty chance of getting something right, I get it wrong ninety percent of the time. Does luck have a universal constant, like pi, from which you could - if given enough data - derive a formula to calculate, according to your own variables, your own luck quotient (L.Q.)? Trying to catch one of course. People that know me will confirm this statistical anomaly. I don't make this stuff up. Mostly. Say it was recalibrated f...

Being small things to tall people. Friday, July 11, 2008. Knickers woke me up to yell at me the other night. Apparently I kept rolling over in my sleep, thus preventing her from getting some precious shuteye. I drifted back off, pondering how the slumbering mind might bring the free wheeling body to heel. Another elbow to the ribs. Your son needs you.'. The Noodle had had an attack of the night terrors, obviously brought on by my bedtime reading of The Gruffalo. Oh, magpie.magpie gone. Noodle squ...Final...
