Comfort Shopping #1: More computer bling

Some people do comfort food. Me, I comfort shop. Not that I’m particularly upset that Jac will be away for so long (as I’ve said, I do miss her already, but it’s not really that big a deal), … but any excuse to treat myself! Well, as you all know, I got myself some new […]

Midweek cat blogging

I was going to wait until the weekend and save this for Weekend Cat Blogging, but I couldn’t resist. We bought a new doona/pillow case set on special at Target recently. Billy Lee has taken quite a shine to it. Here she is, comfy on Jac’s side of the bed. In this photo, Pixel is […]

Teriyaki fish and salad

Dinner last night was simple, light and tasty. Hoki fillets with chopped onion, cracked black pepper and teriyaki sauce, all wrapped up in alfoil and baked in the oven for around twenty minutes. Jac made some salad to serve with the fish. I ate my salad with a dish of Paul Newman’s Ranch Dressing like […]

Speakers, still continued

After lots of research, I was keen on getting the Altec Lansing V3151R 5.1 speakers. They are the same as the VS3151 model, but with the R you get a cordless remote as well (what can I say, I love my gadgets!). But I couldn’t find anywhere locally (online or retail) that sold the R. […]

Jac added the wholemeal spaghetti, peas, onions and chicken. The cashews made the dish extremely rich. It was beautiful, but I felt a little ill afterwards. Sunday: char [&h…

Weekend Cat Blogging 20

Here are the babies, cuddled up asleep on their (current) favourite chair. The old quilt has been thrown over the top of the chair because it was getting, um, very furry due to a constant build up of cat hair. We really struggle to keep up with all that cat hair around the house. Some […]

Hainan chicken rice

I told you I was going to have chicken rice on Thursday, didn’t I? Well, I did just that. I always pour extra soy sauce over the chicken and rice. After that, the first thing I do before plunging in is to spread that garlicky, gingery chilli sauce all over the chicken. Then I have […]

Friday night pizza

There was a postgraduate students’ pizza night at the university tavern tonight, but Ms Antisocial (for the slow: that’s me)was happy to stay home sitting in her holey track pants and comfy ugg shoes and order home-delivered pizza instead. Although the uni pizza night was much cheaper (a gold coin donation), the extra money spent [&hell…

Speakers, continued

This post is a response to Mooiness’ comment and questions from the previous post. My PC is in my study, which isn’t a very big room (Jac estimates that it measures 6 x 12). When I’m home, I spend most of my time in the study. I listen to mp3s and watch DVDs on the […]
