I feel... weird.

I'm not at home, don't have many friends around, and I don't have a job. Time is stretching and bending in weird ways, and I'm not getting anything done that's even remotely productive. I'm used to going out (not necessarily partying) all the time and I'm barely leaving the house.

Sydney and Australia are beautiful and the people I've met have been...

What really gets me off is the idea that you can just travel, and traveling is just like having an endless orgasm. You just go and go and go. - Kathy Acker

Tim Tams are an Australian chocolate cookie. Incredibly delicious.

Only place I ever saw them in Canada was in some imported section of a candy shop in Vancouver at $5 for a pack of 10 cookies.

Sydney is lovely - it's warm, the people are friendly and the living is good. So far in under 2 weeks Pygmy and I have found an apartment, explored the city, got library and bank cards, and it looks like Pygmy's found a job as well. I'm still looking at the moment.

Unfortunately she's hurt her foot again and is having some troubles walking...

It's about time to get out of this small town.. usually I can't make it visiting my parents in a 1000 person town for this long.. pygmy has helped greatly. I'm also teaching myself a variety of new skills, although not writing / exercising as much as I'd like. Although exercising here is difficult as I have to ask my Mom for a ride to...

There's a Adam sized hole in Montreal and there's a Montreal sized hole in me. I'm going to miss that town.

Fortunately for pygmy and I we've made it through luggage problems, airport delays, clueless cab drivers, broken down buses, snowstorms and not 1, but 2 shut down highways to get to my parents house deep in the Canadian outback. Considering they live in the...

It's taken a few days to consider how to best describe the cuteness factor of that picture, but they all seem to be simply a variant of 'damn cute.'

You know when there's a big thing coming up? Everything else just kind of shrinks and falls away.

I'm reading lots about all kinds of stuff about Australia.. just finished Bill Bryson's (somewhat boring) Sunburned Country book. Looking forward to planning excursions to strange parts of the continent.

Otherwise I've been readingLove is a Mixed Tape & this brilliant book on Mumbai called Maximum...

I woke up hungover yesterday from a beer-drenched potluck, then Pygmy and I saw the Metropolitan Opera of New York's production of Berlioz's "La Damnation de Faust" directed by Robert LePage.

It was neat seeing one of my favorite theatre directors do the Opera. I loved it, but I'm a sucker for the devil.

Julie Taymor's directing a version of the "the Magic Flute" ,...

Ha! You're a funny funny man. In *my* book, cake = easy. But your idea sounds cool.
badronald:
Sorry about not getting back to you about Neil Young.

Did you enjoy the show?? I thought it was a bit to focused on his classics and not enough on lesser known albums (nothing from On the Beach??)

As for Spain, it's a blast. Barcelona was really cool but Seville rocked my world.

you would.
badronald:
I have Neil Young tix also and if they haven't played already I might try and check out The Sea and Cake.

Hold Steady/Drive-by Truckers was a really good double bill.
