Rumours of my demise are, well, wrong.

I'm just in Queensland, land of bugger-all internet connection. And after that, will be in Melbourne, adrift without a connection. We'll see.

Brief round-up:
- Christmas: ate too much, laughed a lot, hugged everyone many times. In the bosom of my family, and loving it. Got the best of Siouxsie CD. Yay. Oh yeah, and a ticket to...
- Boxing Day The Two Towers: Like, wow. A lot. Not perfect, not by a long shot, but still blew me off my feet. And now I have to wait another fucking twelve months. Sigh. (At least I don't have to write a thesis this time.)

That's about it. Lots of travelling. Amusing family anecdotes of times us young'uns have drunk until we puked. Oh yeah, we're a wholesome family bunch.

More news as it happens and I can wrest my mother away from Pinball Deluxe to tell you about it.
