Horcruxes, emergency room and physics
In all likelihood, Shana will sit down tomorrow night and write her weekly journal. Tonight, she’s not here; in fact, this whole weekend she’s been attending a womens' retreat about an hour away from here. I don’t really know the organisation, or the theme, or anything, other than it’s led by a couple of local Aboriginal elders. And she was excited
So young Jess has had to have a daddy weekend, which is fine all but in the middle of the night. My plan was to spend all day at the beach, because – well, who need an excuse? But a few hours before Shana was leaving, I had cause to make my first acquaintance with the local emergency room.
So here’s the quiz to determine how well you know me. Did I:
Post your guesses in the comments section of the blog…
Anyway, I’m obviously surviving quite fine, and so is Jess, since her grandparents are also looking after her here.
For my part, I’m still looking for a good job. I’m lucky enough to be working at the bank, as a teller. It’s fine except for the tie. I promise no photos of me in a tie. In the meantime, my mental energy is dedicated to coming up with grand schemes for graywater systems, enormous shade-cloth megaroofs, house extensions, suspension bridges and other such things that are likely in violation of physics. I never liked physics.
I’m rereading the 6th Harry Potter book, since I’ve run out of books, and our stuff is still not here (but we’re told it’s cleared quarantine and customs and will be here any day now…). Anyway, I wanted to restate my theory that the Horcrux that will be revealed in book seven is indeed Harry’s scar. By saying so now, I’ll be able to do some I-told-you-so-ing when the book comes out and proves that I’m smarter than Dumbledore. If, of course, I’m wrong, then I can edit this posting on the blog to not even mention the whole subject. Win-win for me! Anyway, HP fans, think it through and I defy you to tell me I’m wrong…
That’s all that’s on my mind for now. Like you, I’ll look forward to Shana’s eloquent reflections when she next writes them. She paints me in such a nice light, even when I’m a major pain in the bum.
Peace, all!

- fall from a dodgy ladder and break my elbow again
- have a shelf in the carport collapse on my head and giving me a concussion
- pierce my foot with a hammer drill
- slice my ankle on a screen door

Man...that's a difficult question. They all should rather Matt-like!! Maybe some to too familiar. I have to think about this a little bit.
I'm going to see Narnia tonight...I'll post my reply when I get home!
Glad you survived!
:)
Geez...I just read my post. Honestly...I haven't been drinking!
hmmm... I think I'm going to go with all of the above.
Oh, and I don't think that harry's scar is the final horcrux, b/c all the horcruxes must be destroyed b4 harry can beat voldypoo... therefore I don't think harry is going to kill himself and then move on to voldemort. It just wouldn' work out. :D Watch, I'll be quite wrong, but thats okay!
... and I still insist on the suit and tie pic.... kk, I'm done now...
Yeah, this is my first comment cause i've been too lazy to do it before! Well, those are hard choices... so i'm not even going to try. As for the horcrux thing, you have a very valid point and I have heard some very good arguments 'proving' it to be true. I personally don't agree, but that's just me. I'm probably wrong... :P
It's between 3 and 4 for me. If you'd done 1 or 2, I don't think you'd have written as much. I'm going to say 4...I don't know what a hammer drill is and I'd probaby hurt big time!!
Anyway...hope you mend quickly!

Hi Matt, Shana and Jacinta!
I'm sorry to hear about your accident. All of the options sound very painful to say the least. May you recover very quickly!
I'm glad to read that you are enjoying life in your new home. Faris and I think of you often, and miss you very much! Shana, I can't thank you enough for everything you've taught me in the past year about mothering. You are a beautiful example I try to follow.
Jacinta looks like a fish having taken to water in her new home! Really, it seems to be such a nourishing environment in many ways, for all of you. I'm happy to see it.
Let's stay in touch! My email is laraalami@wowway.com. Drop me a line when you have a moment. I would love to hear from you.

All of them sound exactly like you, especially the falling from a dodgy ladder...hmm. I'll go with peircing your foot b/c it's very hard to pierce a foot with a drill unless trying. Plus I don't know what a carport is, and slicing something just sounds like you tried to do it.
Hope all is well (especially your elbow/head/foot/ankle) Love Katie M
Oh yeah, I forgot to add that Birmingham/Bloomfield Hills/ everywhere in th near vacinity had a snowday FRIDAY! You don't get THAT in Australia, do you? Didnt think so!
i'd say you peirced your foot with a hammer drill. But that must've really hurt. I mean... to have something hammer AND drill into you at the same time! ewwwwwwwwwww!!!!!! Anyway, I'm glad that your okay and, happy Austraila!
Peace to all in AUS or USA ( haha.. same letters) Tess
