Have had my first day of prac; have been introduced to about 100 people, promptly forgot 100 names and am busy re-learning the significant ones. Food at UWA seems somewhat more expensive than at Curtin, and I totally forgot about the whole "food venues closing early in non-semester times" so missed out on afternoon tea by about 10 minutes. Excuse me while I go perform acts of cannibalism.

I'm seriously considering baking a cake or something, setting booby traps to guard its position in the fridge and taking slabs of it to prac each day. cupidsbow? If you see this, would you be willing to give up the secret of your banana cake? *salivates*

ETA: In the second hand bookshop, there was a copy of the Bourne Ultimatum for $5. I'm assuming this is the third in the trilogy/series/thing. Anyone have the first two for me to borrow? $5 for 800 pages is just a little too tempting, and hey, the movies were pretty damn fine...

So it was good? You're happy? You didn't eat any of the students?

I have an upside down pineapple cake recipe around somewhere if you wants it.

Bourne

Hmm. I could lend you the first one in about a month....

I can see all three from where I'm sitting (in someone elses house in Cheltenham), but that doesn't really help you. :)

Hee! Kinda like the ... something law... (looses at geek-fu) "I know exactly where it is, I just can't get there!"

Exactly!
I lose at geek-fu, too :)

I'm pretty sure I've got at least one of them in my bookshelf as well, if you're going past HoBaD. :)

[maharetr.livejournal.com]

Yay! Much thanks. Shall brazenly steal from your bookshelf next time I'm in the area. Also, I hear you are fleeing Sydney. Did the job not agree with you? :)

[juffles.livejournal.com]

Yup, am fleeing Sydney. Job, Sydney and boss all did not agree with me. :)

Are you reading these because of the films or because you like that style of story?

If the latter, I need to loan you Shibumi by Trevanian which is that style of book rasied to high art, while at the same time being thoroughly tongue-in-cheeck (if that makes any sense). Just brilliant and one of my most beloved books:

The appeal is in the films, but I'll find out about the writing soon enough. ;) thanks for the rec.

Of course. It's the Women's Weekly one. I'll try to remember to type it up in the next few days.
