In a weird mood at the moment. On strike until the little matter of a bonus is sorted out. It's not like it's even much - probably on the order of $50 if I've calculated correctly. But it's the recognition of a job well done that I want. Anyways, enough of that.

1. Strawberries or blueberries?
Both are good
2. "Legally Blonde 2" or "Terminator 3"?
Terminator 3 without a doubt. That reminds me, must go order the T2 Ultimate Edition brb
3. Hamburgers or hot dogs?
Hot dog, with tomato sauce and American mustard
4. Boating or hiking?
Both are good
5. Suntan lotion or sunblock?
I call it sunburn cream, go figure
6. "Big Brother" or "The Amazing Race"?
Amazing Race for sure
7. Beach Boys or Jimmy Buffett?
Beach Boys I guess
8. Grow your own produce or buy from supermarket/greengrocer/farm stand?
Grocer, I live in a flat!
9. Drive with car windows/top down, or with air-conditioning on?
Windows down unless it's really really hot (air conditioning takes a lot of power away from my little car and a lot of petrol)
10. Go away for vacation, or stay at home?
I love to travel, so I'd prefer to go away, but I also like getting things done at home, and used to adore the three month holidays I got at uni when I could do whatever I liked for weeks on end

1. How are you planning to spend the summer [winter]?
Working I suppose. Some of us don't get three month holidays.
2. What was your first summer job?
Never had one.
3. If you could go anywhere this summer [winter], where would you go?
Europe
4. What was your worst vacation ever?
Worst? That's tough. I love travelling and I tend to only remember the good stuff. The trip I did to Victoria with my parents recently was painful in the sense of having to get along with my father for a week, but apart from that was still good
5. What was your best vacation ever?
Best? Also tough. Any of the "flying" holidays stand out - USA, Western Australia, Central Australia and Lord Howe/Norfolk Islands that the family went on when we were kids; and USA at the end of 2000 was awesome but far too short.

Damn, missed the post .. er rather, I missed getting this post in by midnight, so now it's wednesday - oops! Oh well, time for a This or That Tuesday then, cause I'm too asleep to think of anything else..

1. Morning or night person? Probably a morning person. Although when I'm holidays I go to bed later and later each night. I think maybe my biocycle is 25 hours or something
2. Heavy or light sleeper? Fairly light
3. Remember your dreams or not? Sometimes
4. Do you need a lot of sleep, or just a little? I try to get 8 hours, but during the week it's mostly 6-7 hours
5. Do you need something like a nightlight or TV to sleep, or do you prefer complete darkness? Don't care, dark is good but some window light is also cool
6. Flannel sheets or some other kind? Flannel in winter, cotton in summer
7. One pillow, or more? Just the one
8. Bedroom door opened or closed at night? When I was 11 some irresponsible mother let us watch Friday 13th at a slumber party. I was never quite the same after that, and always kept my bedroom door at home closed at night, because we had a big garage and workshop downstairs and I was paranoid about people hiding somewhere. I feel much more secure in my unit and never bother closing the door
9. Wrap yourself into blankets like a cocoon, or just cover yourself with them? Just cover myself
10. Alarm clock: wake to music or buzzer? Music, a buzzer is too harsh

Well that was kind of appropriate, considering how sleepie I feel. Just gotta finish setting up this server before I go to bed...

At the very end of last year (the last two days in fact), I went down to Canberra for a couple of days. I had free entry to Questacon, so met up with Luc, Liz, Marc and Ryan, and James, George, Josh and Rachel on the night of the 30th, and we'd go to Questacon the next day.

On the 30th I drove down early, arriving by 10am (stopping briefly in Goulburn), and went to Cockington Green, the National Capitol Exhibition (at least I think that's what it's called), the new Parliament House (which I walked to the top of - I'd never done that before), the Royal Australian Mint, Black Mountain Tower (I refuse to mention the name of the telco that owns the tower), before meeting up with Kin Hoong for dinner.

I'm still quite sad that I didn't get the time to go to Mt Stromlo, I'll never get the chance now (even if they rebuild, it'll never really be the same).

Anyways, photos are online on conspiracy.
