The Chronicles Of... The Chronicles Of... This is the chronicles of Pete, Dicker and Chris. This website is, I guess, a continuation of the playground stories, and also a reflection on the ones which are now folk lore. It's a place for us to just throw down not only the stories and thoughts

Le tour de inner west
2007-11-05 23:17:00 I’ve been doing an early morning ride with some guys from church the for the last year or so, but the last 2 weeks we’ve gone for our 6:30 am ride twice a week (2 days in a row even!) and I’m feeling better for it. We always stop in Leichhardt at a cafe for a ... More About: General , Tour , West
Study, Study, Study? kind of?
2007-11-05 23:11:00 I’m off to Moore college library this morning to try and do some study for exams next week without the distraction of internet, email, TV, eating, cleaning, sleeping, or even staring at the tiles on the bathroom floor… Procrastination give life or death importance to even the most ordinary of things. The fact that I’m even taking time ... More About: Study , General
History Boys
2007-11-05 05:04:00 Fi and I hired out and watched History Boys from the DVD store last night. We’d been wanting to see it for some time and had heard good reviews, it looked like it might be a bit like a Dead Poets Society kinda movie, but… we were wrong… As a person who like history, there were points of ...

This is me?
2007-11-01 01:08:00 Not much happening at the moment that’s all that blog worthy, actually as I write this there may be one or two things, you be the judge… 1) Caleb had his first birthday on 25th of October, we bought him a little bike thing, and a bible, well we haven’t purchased the bible yet, mum’s buying ...

The human roller skate
2007-10-25 03:47:00 Check out this guy! What’s even more impressive is that he does this in traffic! He even overtakes a motorbike! That would have seriously freaked out the bike rider… glumbert - Roller suit in the Swiss Alps More About: Skate , Tube , Human
Rain!
2007-10-25 03:22:00 It’s finally raining a little out here!! I’ve been sitting in my office watching people walk by, I haven’t seen one person run to get out of it, everyone’s walking as if were a sunny day. Most people aren’t wearing any protection against the rain and some are even carrying umbrella’s, but none have them up! I ... More About: General , Rain , Chris
More Japanese ingenuity
2007-10-23 09:38:00 Because they actually had some street crime in their country for the first time in living memory, the Japanese panicked, and this is what one of them came up with: http://www.nytimes.com/2007/10/20/world/ asia/20japan.html?ex=1350532800&en=40 7754645455666b&ei=5090&partner=rs suserland&emc=rss I love that lateral thinking… More About: General , Pete , Nuit
Got the sick!
2007-10-20 04:41:00 I’ve had the sick for about 2 days now. Not that fun, although I have caught up on so much sleep! And I love the way you don’t have to feel like I have to be doing anything, which is a nice rest. So a couple of highlights: 1) I’m not one to throw up all that ... More About: General , Chris , Sick
Look what my church did!
2007-10-19 06:36:00 Petersham Evening Church (who run a evening service in our church building at Petersham funily enough…) are a creative bunch of people. They come up with all sorts of wacky ideas… So when they came up with the idea of making a 3 massive banners to go up around our church to coincide with the new ... More About: General
iced coffee
2007-10-17 08:04:00 I judge a cafe by it’s iced coffee. I mean, atmosphere, service, food quality is all important but the real test is the iced coffee… You make a good iced coffee Ill be coming back for more. What I mean by good is good strong coffee flavour (real coffee not syrup, yuk!), and a cold tempreture, ... More About: Coffee , General
I?m not very bright sometimes?
2007-10-14 15:40:00 I’ve really managed to get poor-time-use down to an artform lately. I spend hours trawling through wikipedia after I venture warily onto the site to find out some basically useless information about a footballer or something, before I’m dragged into the vortex of clicking on articles about battleships, theological principles, and video games. Some times I have so ... More About: General , Bright , Pete
Just do it already?
2007-10-12 03:04:00 I’m looking out of my window, and it looks like it’s about to rain, but it hasn’t yet. For some reason it’s annoying me, like when you’re about to sneeze, but it doesn’t come, so you just stand there looking (and feeling) ridiculous with your nose up in the air and your eyes half closed. Of course, what ... More About: General , Pete , Ready
Youth Group Camp
2007-10-10 16:14:00 Heading off to our very first Salt Youth Group camp tomorrow evening for a Thursday nighter to Sunday arvo extravaganza! Looking forward to it. It’s the first camp I’ve organised and run, which feels remarkably different to organising the several beach missions I’ve done over past years… Graham Stanton is going to be speaking at our ...

My next vehicle?
2007-10-10 09:45:00 The lads from Top Gear have done Toyota a massive marketing favour, by attempting to destroy an ‘unbreakable’ Hilux. Whatever their motives, it worked on me, and my desire for one of these utes has skyrocketed. I love the idea of just slinging my stuff into the tray and driving off for a weekend on the ...

?why, oh why, oh why?
2007-10-08 03:46:00 … is it that whenever I have to do something, I find myself procrastinating furiously, and making myself incredibly stressed in the process? I’m meant to be writing a study for tonight, and also researching / writing an assignment for college, but instead I’m writing emails, ’surfing the interweb’ (hardcore guy that I am), and thinking ...

Seu Jorge: The Life Aquatic soundtrack
2007-10-03 09:21:00 Bought this soundtrack last night at Fish Records in Newtown and I love it. You can’t deny the quirkyness of this album, who would think to cover David Bowie songs in Portugese with acoustic guitar?? I loved the movie, and this soundtrack is equally fantastic. Jorge ’s voice is awesome, and mixed with the sound of his guitar ... More About: Music , Life , Soundtrack , Seu Jorge
Australian Idioms
2007-10-03 09:16:00 Couldn’t help but feel a great sense of joy today upon using the Australian ism “the duck’s nuts” to describe how good something was - i think i was thinking of a particular motorbike… Anyway, it’s a great term. Got me wondering why the duck’s nuts are so cool…? More About: General , Idioms , Idiom
A couple of things?
2007-10-02 09:27:00 So there has been some things happening lately worth blogging about. Firstly, a couple of weeks ago Pete put together a crack team of trivia experts to contest in the Caringbah Baptist trivia night fundraiser on October 20th (I somehow found my way onto this team of experts - and I was flattered Pete). But really ... More About: General , Couple , Things
blog draught
2007-09-28 01:53:00 For about 3-4 months I did the “1 blog a week” thing and in the last month I’ve barely written a thing. What’s worse is that I can’t think of anything vaguely interesting to write. I don’t even have a youtube to post, which we all know too well is the fall back for every blogger… Wht’s ...

Is My Dignity Worth More Than $2
2007-09-25 03:51:00 So here’s a dilemma I face on pretty much a daily basis, although today it was obvious. I work in the same centre as Coles Narromine and they have one of those trolley systems where if you want one you put $1 or $2 coin in the slot and disconnect it from the the one in ...

Rogers, and others?
2007-09-22 15:45:00 I read an article on Tim Rogers today, and it reminded me of how frustrated I get with life sometimes… The most talented people can often be the most unstable, and in the end, so many people end up in such horrid situations that it all just starts to feel hopeless. I’m sure he would think ... More About: Music , Pete
Worked From Home Today
2007-09-21 08:11:00 Not much else to say about that… Except maybe these things: 1) It’s AMAZING how much more I find I get done when working from home. I don’t know if it is the lack of interruptions, or maybe the feeling that you need to justify yourself and show that you weren’t just slacking off so you work ...

Gym Membership
2007-09-20 13:41:00 So heard about another bargain that I couldn’t pass up. The gym at Dubbo RSL has a special on this month, 6 weeks membership for $60. Thought this was a good opportunity to give it another shot, so tomorrow morning and hopefully each weekday morning my alarm will beset for just after 6ish at which point ...

Finals time.
2007-09-17 14:06:00 The Swans are out of the finals… We really never looked like making it this year. So, in the AFL I think I’m going for a Geelong to win in Cats Vs Port Grand Fina l. In the NRL I’m going for a Cowboys Vs Eels Grand Final. In other news, my old Sydney AFL team the St. George ... More About: General , Time , Finals
