maths is easy.

green n' gold

earlier this month, naph went down to darling harbour to support germany, even with all the aussies there.

here i am, in kiel, germany, cheering on the socceroos in their unlikely bid to qualify through the group stages. talk about being deep in enemy territory. 

brett (holman) scored a screamer but it was not enough to see them through. comes back to that opening, painful 4-0 defeat in the end.

don't rely on anyone.

singapore won the table tennis world championships, overthrowing china.

south africa scored the first goal of the 2010 world cup against mexico but conceded an equaliser 10 minutes before the end.

i'm going to take a nap.

lift

because you don't ever want to take headers. sail lifts!

some of brett's pictures from the wombeyan cycling adventure with the ssf gang. great views.

i don't talk much about cycling on this site, but it is one of my greater joys. whether it's a leisurely cruise along the countryside, or the adrenaline rush going round a steep bend. very satisfying.

. . .

i'm tentatively doing sail for gold regatta in weymouth from 6-14 august. found out a couple of days ago that vienna teng is playing in germany on the night of 15th august. very tempted to pop over to and see her play, especially seeing that she won't be doing much touring next year. now that's exciting news.

tortoise was magnificent last night. masterclass drumming from brian chase (of yeah yeah yeahs) to open proceedings, yet tortoise themselves have like 3 drummers, all of them stellar. 

usyd's manning bar's a good venue too. and they're attracting better gigs than the roundhouse @unsw. man.

did anybody realise what's wrong with this comic?

i understand the feeling.

never one to reside within the confines of a musical box

this opening groove has been swirling about my musical box lately.

you've got to dig it to dig it, you dig?
