Despite the best efforst of:

• Virgin Blue
  
• QANTAS
  
• midnight taxis
  
• boot shops (killer boots! Killer Boots!)
  
• Russ (keys in the car, with the car running)
  
• art galleries
  
• commercial television (who wants to get on television and make an idiot of themselves?)
  
• public library computers that only let you book in for half an hour, yeah, yeah, I'll be finished in two minutes, I swear...

I am still alive, well, and kicking. Sometimes more than others. I'm also in Queensland, enjoying myself, and I met Elle who is very, very cool. We consumed chocolate. It was great.

Rock over London. Rock on Chicago. I am a goldfish.
