It's all a bit hush-hush at the moment, but I booked some flights today, to go overseas at the end of October for three weeks, to an overseas destination...
Big thanks to the Qantas Frequent Flyer program, and to work, for flying me all over the world in 2001... I didn't have to pay a cent for the flights :-)

iPod Nano...
Apple released the new iPod Nano this week, which is a solid state, 2GB or 4GB unit, thinner than the iPod Shuffle, and about twice as wide...
Just doing a bit of surfing, and found this article, where a Japanese guy has already pulled one to bits, and photographed the process... The article is translated by Google
Awfully expensive way of exploring a device's contents if you ask me... Then again, someone was bound to do it!

Flip Flop
Fair bit of water under the bridge since last Saturday...
Monday afternoon, I went to the funeral for Shirley Hilditch (Scott's Mum), which was a very nice service, and good to catch up with Scott and Gina, Trent and Caz, and others I've not had a chance to see for a while now...
After heading back to work, and finishing the day, I went off to a market research session, to do some advertisement assessment for a new range of advertisements which Bunnings are thinking of running.
After heading back to Mum and Dad's to dinner, I sort of fell in a big heap.
Tuesday, was the day from hell... I woke up around 8.30 or so, to go to work, but couldn't get out of bed. All my system wanted to do was sleep, sleep, and sleep some more...
Wednesday wasn't much better.
Thursday, I went to see a GP, trained in Big Blue, "The National Depression Initiative".
Friday morning, three people from the CAT Team at the Alfred Hospital came to see me, and one of the doctors declared me depressed. I've since been prescribed some anti-depressants, to buoy me up during the day, and valium, to help me sleep...
It's incredible how many people you talk to have been on these medications... I guess I'll give them a go, to see how things unfold...
Friday night, was Clarissa's Birthday dinner, which I had promised I would go to. I had a really good time, at Shine Cafe, out in Glen Waverley, although the service was appalling from all but one staff member.
Right now, I'm sitting on the bed in my old bedroom at Mum and Dad's, with the blind up, watching an awesome electrical storm go by, and fighting a half a valium, which was supposed to be a good idea, to help me sleep... Damn the interesting night life!!

Two Puddy Tats...
I went out to visit Ingrid, who runs Ingrid's Haven on Thursday night after work, to meet Pretty Jessica and Fluff, both of who were a little shy and people wary for my liking.
Ingrid currently has 91 cats, waiting to be given new homes, and I met two other cats, Una (pronounced ohhnah) and Stumpy (pure black cat with a stumpy tail), both of whom were very friendly!
After a coffee, and a chat, I head home, to come back on Saturday, when both cats have been given a new home...
Stumpy is learning her new name of Lizzy, and Una is let to be renamed, althoguh I'm thinking Luna is a good name for her...
