1 pm - So I'm here in Maccas half way between Canberra and Sydney licking this ice cream and slurping from my frozen coke on this here Australia Day 2009, public holiday and all that.
Have just been to Canberra for the weekend. It's the first time I've been back in a few months and the first time I've been back with a clear enough head to see things for what they are. Interesting, actually, to see everyone again. You quickly figure out those who were/are "friends for a reason, friends for season and those who could be friends for a lifetime" when viewing from a distant vantage point. The forest through the trees, as they say.
It also makes me realise I absolutely made the right decision to move, just as the the decision to move to Canberra was the right decision. The trick is the know when your time is up, and act on it. but now I'm sounding like an episode of Scrubs. Speaking of which, I am really enjoying the new season on abc, most likely the last. After the ridiculously unfunny-ness of season 7 and a loss of the humanity and emotional truth that made the early seasons of the show so honest and fresh, season 8 is a return to the simple reality based storylines of the older episodes, now clearly distinct from the fantasy based comedy. The second episode in particular, mostly set in one room with only JD, Turk and a dying patient is touching and quietly amusing. It's good to have the show back.
There was also echindnas, Koko Black chocolates and amusing taxi drivers.
412 of BSG lies in wait.
PS. This was a handwritten entry, transcibed to this venue later on. Where's my blackberry or MSI wind?
