I'm in Australia!

A few things

1. Qantas? Your air stewards? Their accents? WAY too thick. I mean really, I like the dinky, ridiculously unprofessional aussie accent as much as the next person - but when I've got flight stewards honking around the airplane sounding like their day job is sheep shearing, well then, that's when we've got a problem.

2. I also nearly burst into giggles when I was talking to the person at the phone shop.

3. And the bread shop.

4. And the clothes shop.

5. Aussie accents sound ridiculous, I can't believe I once talked like t... oh wait, I still do? Great.

6! I can count past 5! I'm making a speech at Haran & Dim's wedding. I'll post photos (of their wedding, not my speech, which I haven't written yet and am panicing (why can I never spell panicking right?)) later on. Did you notice how there were 2 brackets there? That's the mark of a quality programmer.

7. If you're reading this, and you haven't bought (somehow) Paralysis & Denial (by my boss, Ken Flagg, and which I'm listening to now), then you're probably mum and are not, in fact, Ken. Just clearing that one up.

8. After a lot of people's opinions, I have, in fact, put on weight, and am, yes, doing everything I can to get rid of it. Bah to you people! Why can't a man age & increase in weight gracefully? Why?

9. I'm going to be job hunting when I get back to SF! What fun!

More news from America!

I'm going to Sydney tonight, which should be fun - there will be a 15 hour flight and if that doesn't spell fun for you, well then, you can probably spell pretty good. Airline food... you know, and I might be in a bit of minority here, but I really quite like airline food - it tends to be of pretty high quality.
Or I might just like peeling back aluminum (that's how the yanks spell it) foil to see food. Often i just wish there was more of it... hey, now there's an idea to lose weight - just eat airline food all the time. There's not alot of it, and it's reasonably good, ... I wonder how I can extend that one sentence into a 150 page booklet that will make me rich?

Oh oh! New title for my upcoming NBC sitcom!

"I got your america right here" OR "This is america" - i'm going to work on it with a coworker and it's going to be pretty darn snappy. Biggest issue? It's going to be to laughtrack or not. I hate them myself, so there's not going to be one.

What did I do today? I prepped for my flight, had lunch with a nice yankee bird, and drank some oj.

To Australia!
