I wanna say a big THANKS to you guys for your responses to my previous post. And thank you to those who offered to come whisk me away from the whole affair - I am keeping that as plan E. But what I appreciate most is the implicit (I think) reassurance that I'm not some sort of bizarro ungrateful freak bitch child for not wanting to spend time with my family - even at a special event like a wedding...

I am currently working my way through cataloguing ALL my books. All of them. Every single last one of them, because I have finally hit that point where I can no longer remember easily which I have, and which I don't have. Just to put this into scale for you - I have about 3 book cases. I've catalogued about 2.5 shelves worth. That's 100+ books. Then again, you all saw the book mountain photo. Anyrates...

After the world's LONGEST flights, I'm in Yogya again!!! Finally. Honestly, I almost teared up as we turned off Jl Godean and headed towards the family house. I love this place that much. Many little things have caught my attention, but I have neither time nor energy to corral them all into an entertaining little story. I will tell starfish11 that her baby Soren has serious competition...

Moomba is as lame as it always is. They made us wear angel wings. Let's speak no more of it. I'm in the process of repression, just give me time to bury the memory deep. I spent the afternoon with starfish11 and her delightful family who always amuse me no end, and leave me thinking things like "Jeeez. I'd like one of those child things for myself." Though, I imagine if I were to approach...

You know what. Today I jumped on a tram and I went to a beach festival, and I saw two of my favourite artists perform, and I saw my mate's band headline another stage, and I ate nachos and drank a lot of coffee and watched people all around having fun. WHILE THE FUCKING STATE WENT UP IN FUCKING FLAMES. It's really really really disastrous. Something like 80+ people have died, 100s of houses lost...

Mr J and I are exchanging non-work-related emails. Because communication is important in a relationship. It begins with me emailing him an excerpt from starfish11 's latest post: "Nicholai watched Mythbusters the other night. They were doing an experiment on driving while stressed and while relaxed- do you really use less fuel when you’re relaxed? (If you care, the answer is yes, you do....

I had the best sandwich yesterday. Honestly. It was great. Toasted pide bread with salami, pesto, fetta and.. eeep. Was there something else? No, no, that was all the important ingredients. It was a very good sandwich. If sandwiches came in a handy inhalable container, I'd nominate this one to be one of the launch flavours for the Inhala-sanger meal replacement gizmo. I also learnt something. It's...
