No apologies for the flagrant unveiled reference to Avenue Q….’cause it’s great…trust me – I’ve seen it!
Okay okay….my main reason for wanting to ‘go back to college’…or in local lexicon…go back to uni….is because Sunday (day before my birthday for anyone who is interested)…marks the expiration of my student card….which means the [...]

“Why haven’t you blogged in a while?”
…because I can’t think of anything interesting to blog about.
Well not entirely true. I can think of plenty of interesting things I have done since the last blog entry…but the point is I can’t think of an interesting slant that sets my writing apart from your [...]

I love living in a backwards country.
Why does it take so long for Australia to embrace technology.
I am…as has been something I have been doing an alarming number of times today and yesterday…sitting in a Starbucks (yes the McDonalds of coffee). Why then, might you ask, would I be here….
…because I [...]

Second last day in New York.
Six weeks overseas has flown.
Today has been cruisy. Wandering around Lower Manhatten.
In and out of bookstores and coffee shops. Nice not to have to be anywhere at any particular time. Enjoying the surrounds. Taking in the sights and sounds and smells – both good [...]

Most shows I goto with high expectations usually disappoint me…because I have such high expectations.
I expected to be non-plussed.
I wasn’t!
Avenue Q by far above and beyond surpasses my expectations!!!
Amazing, amusing, entertaining.
Far more than an album could ever convey.
Visually, aurally and intellectually spectacular.
Okay enough.
Amusingly, I sat next to an Aussie when I went to “The [...]

Would you like your doctor or in this case orthodontist to telephone you from a Starbucks…or any public place for that matter and discuss aspects of your treatment with you whilst sipping on a latte in a very public place?
Only in America hopefully. Sitting here in Starbucks in Times Square….that’s exactly what the guy [...]

Yaaaay!
My reason for being in New York is about to come to fruition.
I queued up today at the cheaparse ticket outlet and got myself a cheap ticket to go see Avenue Q. Yaaaaaaaay.
Much happiness. For a change..it doesn’t suck to be me.
Emergency visa card got couriered to me today also…so I am actually able [...]
My own stupidity annoys me on occasion.
Losing one’s wallet in a foreign country is not cool
Especially when one is flying to another foreign country within 24 hours.
Lucky my own stupidity did not extend to not keeping a cash card separate to one’s wallet.
GRRRR.
London (when one has a wallet to spend money from) is [...]

Barcelona is fabulous.
Architecture is awesome.
Apartment I am staying in is on the beach…just thirty metres from the waves of the mediterranean.
The problem is….almost everyone in Barcelona smokes….such that by the end of my first day here…. I had a throbbing nicotine headache.
C’est La Vie.
London on Friday
New York on Monday.
