I’ve just got back from Spun Out 2008, aka fire-twirling camp. It was AWESOME! The atmosphere was great - cruisy and laid-back, but still full of energy and fun and craziness. Here is a short summary in list form:
Things I Did:
Learned some cool fire-twirling stuff - especially a fan of the anti-spin and isolations we […]
Here are a couple of photos of me with coloured hair, from the World’s Greatest Shave. I ended up with about $100, thanks to Mum, Patricia, Meneesha, Pat, Steve, Dunja, Mike, Arjun and Annika.
I got pink everywhere - on my hands, the couch, several light-switches and door-frames, two t-shirts - that green one and my […]
This week, as I’ve sorta previously mentioned, started really badly. I’m pleased to say that it ended really really well. This week’s lesson seems to have been “You have some really nice people for friends”. Friends have just come out of the woodwork and been generally wonderful this week.

I started making my dress form, with help from my Lovely Assistant, Steve:
The next […]
On friday I handed in my last assessment of the semester. This semester has been a particularly crazy one - the first half packed full of outreach stuff, and the second half packed full of catching-up. The last month has been particularly bad, because it was all of the biggest and most important assignments, and […]
Useful camping tip: Check that your gas bottle has gas in it. Here is a picture of our empty gas bottle, with Steve making a fire in the background:
We had to prepare dinner and breakfast with a fire, as we had no other way of heating our food. This meant quite a lot of work, […]
