15.10.2008 – Wednesday 15 October – Rain, Thunder, Lightning
- Evening
- • Big rain and thunder storm. I am stuck at Milton station without an umbrella. Lots of lightning. Eventually run home. Bus to Maz’s later, get camera parts, take macro photos. Meet Bronwen at my place, walk up to her parent’s with her.
- 1:50am
- • Sleep.
14.10.2008 – Tuesday 14 October – Phone Fixing
- Night
- • I dropped the DVD Chocolat, which was overdue, back to the DVD store and caught a bus to Indooroopilly, meeting Maz halfway. Maz and I had dinner (Hungry Jack’s for me), went to Woolies, and caught a bus back to Maz’s, where we changed the main board of my phone back to the new phone’s main board, which has a working backup-battery.
- 2:42am
- • Horribly late. Off to bed.
09.10.2008 – Thursday 9 October – Forensic Crash Unit
- Morning
- • I managed to arrive at work on time for a change, and had a busy, challenging, day.
- 7pm
- • The police from the forensic crash unit turned up to record my statement regarding my recent car accident, which was fairly short due to me not actually remembering anything. They were good about it, and explained what they’d found and why they’d come to the conclusions they have—that I ran a red light, and that they’ll recommend it be treated as a traffic offence, rather than a more serious criminal one.
- Night
- • Grace, Jamie, Stella and I walked to Halim’s, where I bought a very large vegetable biryani.
- Later Night
- • Bronwen turned up on her way back from some technical meeting, and it began to rain a little, fortunately easing off enough that I could walk up to her parent’s place with her.
07.10.2008 – Tuesday 7 October – Pizza
- Night
- • Stella, Grace and I walked up to Eagle Boys and picked up pizza. I continued on to Maz’s. A few minutes after arriving at Maz’s, Bronwen phoned and I headed back to Eagle Boys, where I met Bronwen and we picked up pizza again, eating it in a park nearby, before walking to Bronwen’s parent’s place to drop off Bronwen, then back to my place to put me to sleep.

’Tis all a Chequer-board of Nights and Days
Where Destiny with Men for Pieces plays:
Hither and thither moves, and mates, and slays,
And one by one back in the Closet lays.
The Ball no Question makes of Ayes and Noes,
But Right or Left, as strikes the Player goes;
And he that toss’d Thee down into the Field,
He knows about it all—He knows—HE knows!
The Moving Finger writes; and, having writ,
Moves on: nor all thy Piety nor Wit
Shall lure it back to cancel half a Line,
Nor all thy Tears wash out a Word of it.
And that inverted Bowl we call The Sky,
Whereunder crawling coop’t we live and die,
Lift not thy Hands to it for help—for It
Rolls impotently on as Thou or I.
