I've been in the strangest mind frame lately... I'm sure it has to do with my own long anticipated evolution. Everyone has been saying that when you travel you age at least 10 years in mind, but honestly I haven't really found myself evolving much until now. Maybe it's got something to do with Halloween... I've been lost in a 'dormant' mind frame ( Read more... )

Hokay, so it's back to the slog and grind ( Read more... )

Have just arrived in Amsterdam...

*pause*

Inform my particulars of my likely mental absence if I haven't posted in a week.

Woot.

David Thrussel will be appearing twice @ maschinenfest this year. Might I go and support this Australian with my recently-acquired Australian-ness? Perhaps yet another chance to mess with that god ugly side parting of his.

*cackle* Since when is Johnny Clegg cool?

Stoopid

So this has been a pretty mammoth week for me... I became a citizen on Monday night, applied and received my passport by Thursday, and have applied for my UK visa. All going well, we should be off for Africa at the end of this month. It's mind-blowing thinking of the near future. Last weekend, Tony and I went camping at Minyon Falls and had the ( Read more... )

Happy St. Patrick's Day, I guess. Until this morning, I was as excited as a fat kid on Easter, and would jump at any opportunity to drink to the good people and my Irish heritage. Thanks to Alan Jones, I've discovered the true meaning of today. I can't understand the point of celebrating the anniversary of when Christianity was adopted by the ( Read more... )
