My thanks to the scores of people who wished me well on my birthday last Friday, primarily through FB. On the night, courtesy of [personal profile] caseopaya, I was given the opportunity to see punk rock legends, The Damned, and naturally enough the "usual suspects" were present. As is my want I reviewed the concert on Rocknerd.

Perhaps in remembrance of former band member Rat Scabies ("Let There Be Rats"), but more by coincidence, our wee ratlings have come of age that they can be passed on to new owners. Who could possibly not want a rat or two from this fine pair of litters? But be quick! Seven are already taken.

I have decided not continue with studies at The New Seminary. I simply wasn't getting good value for what was being asked in terms of fees and to be frank, the student administration was somewhat less than optimal. As for the content, I was getting much more out of my own research than from the course books, lectures and tuition. In lieu of a seminary study without academic recognition and ordination at a specific interfaith temple, I've decided to enrol in a recognised Cert IV in Celebrancy at Victoria University. I have other plans on the subject as well - but that will have to come later.

Uh, Happy Birthday! :) Pity one has to pay full fee for TAFE these days if you have another qual. They are, oddly enough, having trouble filling courses.

Thanks! Well, apparently it's not quite full-fee, but relatively high just the same. Perhaps we're only supposed to have one vocation in one life.

Hey Happy Birthday for last week! :))
