I went to Dick Smith’s to get iPods for Tristan and Lara. I pointed at the merchandise and said “I will have a blue one and a green one” and the salesman responded “is that for different moods or different people?”</p> <p> Thursday I did the rest of my Christmas shopping, including getting a gift for Secret Santa ritual at work. Usually stuff in Australia closes at 5 or 5:30pm, but Thursday before Christmas everything is open till midnight practically, if not in actuality. It was a mad rush! Friday we had Christmas lunch at work. The food was really nice and we had Christmas crackers and everything. Then everyone drew numbers and picked gifts and/or stole gifts from others. I never want to steal other people’s gifts because it seems rude somehow (I realize it is just a game meant for fun of course), but it is always entertaining to watch other people steal gifts. My gift was the last one to get unwrapped. Can I just mention here how awesome my new coworkers are and my new work environment is?</p> <p> Friday I flew down to Canberra. The airport was surprisingly uncrowded for this time of year. The aeroplane was mostly empty. When I got to Canberra, Tristan had his earphones on listening to music, and I thoughts to myself, I definitely got him the right gift. Lara was excited about her iPod too, although I think she was more excited about the games and the possibility of putting music on it. Dad already has the DVD I got him, which was unfortunate.</p> urn:wd:wdlabs.com:atom1:twilight:20071122.1744 2007-11-22T22:44:00 2007-11-22T22:44:00 2007-11-22T22:44:00 <center><a href="http://www.wdlabs.com/twilight/media/071122/?image=pict5386.jpg"><img src="http://www.wdlabs.com/twilight/media/071122/pict5386.jpg" border="0" ALT="[photograph]" /></a></center> <center>Sydney</center> urn:wd:wdlabs.com:atom1:twilight:20071031.1813 2007-10-31T22:13:00 2007-10-31T22:13:00 2007-10-31T22:13:00 <center><a href="http://www.wdlabs.com/twilight/media/071031/?image=Slide30.jpg"><img src="http://www.wdlabs.com/twilight/media/071031/Slide30.jpg" border="0" ALT="[photograph]" /></a></center> <center>Hudson Valley, New York</center> <BR/><BR/> <p>P.S.
