Big day today as I had my photo taken. Now before you all start cringeing and making the "ewww" sound it was not That sort of photo session, I was fully clothed. In fact the only things photographed were the insides of my eye balls. Pretty gross you all think? Well, no actually is was pretty cool, I now know what the back of my eyes looks like and they're kinda noice if I do say so myself; all pink and orangey and healthy looking.

The best part of the whole thing was when the optical dude said he couldn't see any damage to the retina or the macula and that whatever happened to my eyes took place months ago when I first noticed it. It seems the pills I took to lower my blood pressure caused an allergic reaction ( very very rare ) and the jelly in the eyeball seperated from the retina and took some material with it - like cones and such. So for a few more months I will have these " floaty things" in my vision and hopefully they will clear up after that.

Thus ends three months of fear and worry. I was so elated by this news I went to the pictures and saw "The Incredibles"  I love going to pic's and this was a great film. I larfed so hard I gagged on my popcorn. mmmm the buttery, salty goodness of popcorn. In a fit of happiness later, I took a bottle of wine to each of my neighbours to wish them a happy 2005. their reactions were quite funny; They aren't used to seeing me in daylight... being a vampyre an' all. 

Let me tell you two of the pluses of living in my suburb. For those of you who don't live in Canberra, Ainslie is a suburb full of tree lined streets and small shopping centres and friendly people. It is also right close to the National Exhibition Centre where the biggest  hot rod show in the country is held every year at this time.

+1) I get to see all the cars and

+2) the girls for free 'cos they all go to my local shopping centre for supplies! WooHoo!

In other gnus, applications for the position of "girlfriend" should now all be in and the panel will invite some applicants for interviews shortly. If you haven't sent in your application yet, don't worry we will still accept it up to the end of this week. Response has been strong and so only those chosen to interview for the position will be notified.

I have a question for one reader.... Tattered Rose, who are you and why are you so secretive? Do you think we will bite you? Only if you ask nicey-nicey.

Thank you - that is all.
