I dropped my iPhone tonight.
Tuesday, May 27th, 2008
While the excess sugar was coursing through my veins and I received a buzz into my iPhone alerting me of a new message, little did I know that fate that would connect my iPhone with the hard smooth-brick ground that was the pavement in Sydney's CBD.
Yes, I dropped my iPhone tonight. My heart stopped as the Apple iPhone disappeared from my fingers, the slippery coating shifting itself from my grasp and landing on the floor beneath me.
And let me just say this…
It is one durable fucker.
Go see for yourself.
Two minor scratches on the corners and a bit of wearing on the tint on the camera which I rarely use.
I have to tell someone so it may as well be you – my blog – and anyone else in earshot.
A part of me is still concerned it won't work. A part of my wishes I had left the rubber grip on which barely worked in my pocket. A part of me wants to jump off of a cliff. But I'm more or less dousing that part of me in mental kerosene and threatening it with a mental match.
Here's how fine the iPhone is.
Seriously. The Apple iPhone is one durable fucker.

Friday Night Drinks
Sunday, April 13th, 2008
I wrote this on Friday night on the way back from work so excuse the "I"'s as they're from Friday.
Tonight, we had drinks after work.
Justyn, Sarah, Nat, Tim, Jake as well as our usual drinking buddy of Nat's friend Laura.
And I would be writing about it while smelling the smoky cotton smell on my wrist if this bus wasn't so god damned bumpy.
I mean fuck, you should see this writing.
Right now, I'm sitting in the bus on the way home with some dickhead guys who are chilling in seats and looking around at the bus as if they owned the place.
I dare not fall asleep lest I wake up without my nice hat.
I'll be home soon anyway.
Home where my brain will linger on the same topic while I turn on my computer, feed the cat, take off my shoes, take off my socks. My brain will analyse the night and catalogue every word I spoke at drinks.
Frankly, it's all very relative and yet it's not at the same time.

…okay, maybe not bowling. How about pizza?
Sunday, March 30th, 2008
So I was supposed to go bowling with Juliet & Wendell but — agh, typical Wendell — one of his shoots went over time so Juliet and I wandered around town looking for something to do.
First we tried the Imax but the movies all had icky starting times so then we tried George St. but there was nothing on there that we wanted to see.
This is already beginning to sound like The Three Bears… and Juliet is blond. Does that make her Goldilocks?
Anyway, so we headed back to her car parked around the back of Darling Harbour and as we headed towards Darlinghurst thinking of one of the Palace cinemas, we got a call from Wendell. Back to town we went picking up the fashion photographer and heading to dinner somewhere else.
I love this photo I shot of Juliet talking to Wendell. Such colour… such… wait– did I just get a colour shot?!
This is the story of that dinner. (Okay, it's not really a story… it's a post.)

First drinks then bowling…
Saturday, March 29th, 2008
After a long day at the office without a lunch break (grumble, grumble, waiting for something that didn't happen, grumble), the friends & co-workers suggested I should come out for drinks with them.
I initially was more of a "naaaaahhhh, I'll just wait to go out with my friends by playing video games at the office," but then something in my mind ticked over and said "Leigh, you're being a douchebag. These people actually want to drink with you. It's not just a load of crap."
So I agreed and as they waited for me downstairs, I packed all my crap up and then joined them.
And then we all headed in a great big packed train off to Jackson's on George for drinking, random conversations about Jennifer Hawkins, the occasional yelling at the fuckwits across the road walking to a party and dressed like the douchebag Corey, and all manner of things.
And yes, I took pictures.
Click the "to be continued" thing (it's called a "jump") to see them. And if you want to hear my occasional blurb on my thoughts during the drinking. If you're into that.
