Was contemplating grabbing a train into the city.

Then I remember that I can't use "public" transport anymore.

GG Myki.

I wouldn't even know where to get one of the cards and, with the surcharge to get one plus a full fair ticket on top, it certainly makes a taxi look much more appealing..

There are a very limited number of things that could draw me out of my current hermit-like status...

Peter Murphy touring Oz for the first time ever is definitely one of them.

Oooooh this'll be good =)

Anti-US protestor dies of smoke inhalation from burning American flags

France ramps up embassy security after magazine caricatures Prophet Muhammad amid new protests ... sometimes you've just gotta love those whacky French heh ( Read more... )

However I'm going to be somewhat interested to see the reviews of Top Girls ( Read more... )

I find myself reading Forbes for their computer game coverage lately, which has a distinct element of Playboy-for-the-articles to it... except possibly in reverse =\

They've got some solid writers though.
