I somehow managed to stay awake for the entire first game of footy on Friday night. This was a necessity brought on by the recent appearances of the TV vulture (a.k.a The Lovely Samantha). She enjoys nothing better than to circle around the couch and swoop down to change the channel when she spies my eyelids fighting a dying battle to stay open.
On Saturday we went to the Urban Uprising gallery in Darlinghurst. There was an exhibition of Shepard Fairy's work (the guy who made the iconic Obama "Hope" image). I'll shamelessly claim in high fashion style that we were fans before he became big but don't have any of his work on our walls to back up the claim. A bit of shopping in the arvo but nothing else to mention apart from the fact that the local IGA supermarket now has a DVD rental machine which will result in significant savings in not just cost but also return trip walking times to rent a movie.
Sunday was basically spent preparing a biblical feast for the mini Knights* reunion in Sydney that night. Shalome brought her new IBM employee of the month Brendan. Scarlette, Mere, Damo, Zali, Meg, Jonathan, Sam, Bodhi and I filled the rest of the seats around the table indulging in fine food and wishing you were there.see ya,
Minas.
*For regular readers of this blog unfamiliar with it's origins, A core group of six friends formed over late nights during the 1998 PriceWaterhouseCoopers boot camp in Tampa Florida. Calling themselves "The Knights of The Square Table" (later shortened to "Knights"), they vowed that each Monday, no matter where in the world they were, they would update each other with their weekend exploits. Twelve years on, that tradition continues.
