Ok. My heart rate has hit rock-bottom now. I’m now in the town where I grew up: Loxton, South Australia. It’s a country town about 250 km out of Adelaide with a population of around 7000. It’s a nice and tidy place to be – and I had my first schnitzel in over 8 months last night at the Loxton pub!
I’m not feeling weirded out today like I was for the past few days. I’d say that I got over my jetlag but I never had any to begin with. Now I’m just wondering how the hell I’m going to be able to visit all the people I want to see while I am back here down under.
I fixed the flickr problem with not being able to see the larger versions of pictures. That was a stuff-up on the configuration settings on my part. Now you just have to look to the right hand side of the picture where the photo info is and it’ll say ‘view larger versions’ or something like that. Of course, I’m going to have to put some interesting pictures up for anyone to give a damn about looking at them!
I’m also using a computer at the moment that has instant messenger on it. I hate it. Yes, it can be useful for work but outside of work I just think it’s a bloody annoyance (actually, when you’re at work it can be an annoyance too which is why I have to switch it off sometimes). It is especially annoying if the people who try messaging you have names like: “my name ain’t elmo but you can tickle me if you like” and “RIP Kahmatah MC Hydro Donnix she got that flow that makes your head spin like you’re on antibiotix” – which by the way they’ve changed to “new york who” in the last 5 minutes because it’s cool or something and they’re trying to carve an identity for themselves but they’re actually just giving themselves stupid f$&ken names that are the size of short novels like everyone else. Whatever.
Anyway, I’m off to eat a decent piece of bread, something I haven’t been able to do for the past 8 months. I’m also going to have some Weet-Bix for breakfast – another ‘luxury’ that I’ve been missing out on.
welcome back to sunny australia! 🙂
