red alert

while i'm supposed to be reducing the amount of time i spend on the internerd so that i can spend 'quality time' packing my possessions into boxes, i've actually got a few posts bursting to get out there. in the next week i will probably be a blogging maniac - blow my load, peak too early and fall asleep for a while, metaphorically speaking of course.

and until then, it's time for a quick update on what exciting procrastination projects i've been working on.

last week i finally bought myself some real estate.
well, online real estate. yes kids, lauren has a website. it's in the wee wee stages of being built and is pretty much a hello and my cv at this stage, but it does mean i've got a decent email address that's accessible via webmail (ie. not hotmail, yahoo, gmail, etc) and a place to put my stuff. i'm going to try and get some work done on it in the next little while, maybe enlist a little help from design friends (*ahem*, dave?) and then it will be spiffy and worth a proper post and a link all to itself!

in other news, i also became a fully fledged grown up and bought myself a digital camera! a gorgeous olympus extra zoom with a proper lens that has been only 5 years in the planning.. phew! photomajor? who? me?

thank goodness for non-commercial losses tax legislation :)

so, thanks goes out to my friends jade, damian and jase whose cameras/work cameras i have pinched over the last few years. this also means, as jade pegler lovingly pointed out, that i have to get flickr now... oh yes.. sleep? what sleep?

next on the wishlist is an iPod, but that, i think, will have to wait a little longer. and until then, it's me and my old skool cd walkman with a busted top - oh yeah, keepin' it real.

and that, my friends, is the news for sunday march 11, 2007.
