I've just returned from nearly two weeks in Sri Lanka. No Internet! It was great!
In the airport terminal on the way out, I checked my emails at the gate, and found my boss had let her university card lapse, and so her university email address had been disabled (she could still email me because we're on the same server)! I used a remote terminal program on the iPhone to connect (via VPN) to my mail server and set her up a temporary account that used an alternative address that didn't require the university to know about her, and still got on the plane without rushing. Now I've returned, I find she still hasn't even renewed her card...
There will be photos in due course. Meanwhile, here is a leopard that came and looked me in the eye at about 10 feet distance; that was awesome!

I've just got back from four days in the South of France with my church choir, which was lovely - really amazing weather, a lot of fun with a whole load of people around my age (including two people who are not in the choir but are friends of someone who is, and who came along to provide extra voices - and who just happen to be from my uni and were in the Pantomime! Small world), great concerts and generally really fun. I spent a lot of the spare time sleeping because it was very intensive but I did get to lie in the sun a bit and eat lots of ice cream and see the town.
Now I'm about to either go to bed very early, or start packing up my stuff in order to leave tomorrow - probably the former because I am zonked. It was Palm Sunday today and we did a procession in the service, carrying privet leaves; weird, but apparently normal in France because palms are rare in Paris. Then I went to a party with some choir friends, which was full of opera students who sang incessant operettas and showed off a lot, and I felt rather awkward about my incredibly untrained, unclassical voice so I didn't sing. Bah.

That is exactly what I am doing.
I think she's really good actress and recently I've enjoyed her work enough to even watch Offspring (fun, kinda clever, sorta trashy 1hr dramas on TEN). What I saw of her in Underbelly was alright but it didn't help that the entire series was your average NINE shit sandwich.
Lunchbox:
I haven't ever seen her before so that made it even more convincing.
Jamie, last night was the first of a two-parter about the beginnings of Cleo magazine in Sydney in the early 70's. The second one is on tonight, but you should probably catch the first. I'm sure it will be up on ABC iView later anyway.
jhocking:
hey tommy, have you ever seen the show "How I Met Your Mother"? I'm watching episode 5 from season 3 right now and Barney is like exactly how you would act.
