Lame update last time. It was kind of an issue of overload -- too much to talk about regarding the trip Stateside, and all of the things I saw and the people I met and got to hang out with.

In short, I spent time in 4 US cities (LA, San Diego, New York, Seattle), three of which I had never been to before, met...

I need to update.

Back home from the US.

Thanks for all of those who put up with me while I was there.

Been hanging out with legionnaire and toothpick in NYC lately, which has been fun. They sure do take their poker and pool seriously in Manhattan!

Coney Island midsummer = more fog than you can shake a stick at!

Still trying to figure out when I get my luggage back. Ostensibly it's been delivered to La Guardia airport. Now it just needs to be delivered to...

Caught up with Anton and Linz last night for some drinks before my trip Stateside. We didn't win pub trivia, but we didn't lose either.

The FuckOffGirl gets nervous when I travel, and she was aghast when she found I'd booked myself into a hotel in Manhattan that was awash with rats and roaches. We saw the reviews of the hotels by former guests on...

Yeah yeah yeah so I need to update.

Saw A Good Woman the other day with TheFuckOffGirl. Oddly enough, Lady Windermere was an American woman in Italy rather than a Victorian-era lady as per the Oscar Wilde original play, but the sscript just has so many great Wilde-isms. Fucking fantastic lines.

Today, went to buy a sandwich from a university cafe. They make sandwiches...

Reports of my demise are somewhat exaggerated.

A week in Melbourne is always fun. Even though Melbourne winters are actually cold, in a way that Sydney winters are not. (In my recent experience living there, Sydney winters are just "slightly less warm than Sydney at other times". I go out to get our morning coffees on weekends in a tee shirt.)

Will check in as and when I can.

Don't talk of dust and roses
Or should we powder our noses?
Don't live for last year's capers
Give me steel, give me steel, give me pulses unreal

He'll build a glass asylum
With just a hint of mayhem
He'll build a better whirlpool
We'll be living from sin, then we can really begin

Please savior, saviour, show us
Hear me, I'm graphically yours

On Big Brother Uncut, the "adults only" show broadcast on Mondays, they showed a bunch of the guys talking about masturbation, then deciding to go off one by one to the toilet to have a wank. When one of them, a country boy nicknamed Shearer, came back and pronounced mission accomplished, someone asked him what went through his mind at the moment of the big...

I googled the phrase "The dude abides" from the Big Lebowski and found this and this and some blogs where the link always takes to to the main page and you can't find the reference you searched for in the first place.

I only mention this because I used the phrase, for reasons I now forget, in the presence of TheFuckOffGirl, and she's taken to...

Hello all.

Driving with TFOG is amusing (which happens every day, to and from work), although sometimes we say to one another "What would people think if they heard us talking?" because the inside references and in-jokes are just overwhelming. And the things I find hilariously funny don't always sound funny written down, but they're hilarious at the time because they just come out of...
