Boil that dustspeck! Boil that dustspeck!

yip! YOP!!!!!!!

The weekend is unfolding nicely. Both of us had a bucket of jet lag poured over our heads Friday afternoon. Regardless we made a cameo appearance at bear night, chatted with several nice people, stayed precisely long enough for our clothes to smell like a wet fucking overflowing ashtray. Tabarnak!

Saturday his nibs was kung fu fighting training; I simultaneously was getting a haircut/razor shave at my local Greek barber. The barber college industry in Greece must be huge--who doesn’t have a Greek barbershop in their town? Sadly his work wasn’t as good as last time. Meh.

We then headed to Bondi for our first beach day of the season (it was 28C yesterday). Grand. We stopped at Westfield Bondi (sad when a socialist gets a woody over a new shopping mall, but it is pretty spectacular) to pick up a prezzie for querrelle’s sifu (wing chun master). Then a quick ablute before teppanyaki dinner for said sifu fête. Teppanyaki wasn’t the best (skip The Rocks Teppanyaki; go to the one at Darling Harbour/SEC instead), but the company was great. Still, we rolled home and had to delay sleep until enough matter had moved through the GI tract (else face the scourge of reflux). Lights out was around 01h00.

This morning the Mrs. is making brekkie on the barbie, after having gone out to fill the gas tank. Afterwards, some “relaxation” (heh heh), and a nesting day. Tonight I’ll return to Sunday night @ the Shift with my mate Mark (and perhaps the Mrs).

The volatility of the American electorate causes me great consternation. I worry.

Thanks matey! There's over 300 of them, so we need to find a time and whittle it down quite a bit.

We'll do our best to give the world a less worrisome America. But I'm living in a Kerry state, the news from elsewhere is indeed troubling.

[jawnbc]

Thanks for that! Even if I were inclined to vote absentee, I'm from NY--also Kerry country.

Ahhhhhh Bondi. Where I got so badly sunburnt in the shade the day before my flight back to San Francisco. Thanks to one delightful Aussie Trollie Dollie I got 5 seats in a row, popped a Halcion (those were the days) and woke up at US Customs! BTW, any recommendations for Hobart? (March 3).

Tassie's the only Aussie state I've not been to. D'oh!

But when I was a travel agent specialising in Oz years ago, most folks flew into Hobart and out of Launceston. car hires there allow free drops in either direction. If you want to hit one of the big parks, pick only 1--unless you've got a week or more.

Have you read Kenneally's The Great Shame? He covers the Aussie-19th century republican movement connections really well--and there's lots to do with Tassie.

Will you be here for da Oirish cruise?

And Immovane has a longer half life--much better for the uber-long flights :)

[f8n-begorra.livejournal.com]

When's the Oirish cruise? Since I haven't locked in dates I might be able to take it in.
Will see if my med friends in Vancouver can send me imovane. Not available in the US.
Thanks for the recommendations.

Such a conventional couple.

But the world needs adorable couples.

Hi there

[meerkatboy.livejournal.com]

A friend directed me to your LJ,

I am a Canadian (Vancouver), moving to Brisbane and am looking to meet other Canadians doing/have done the same. Could you please add me as a friend.

Re: Hi there

[jawnbc]
