i post from the land down under

i just wanted to be able to sing along in my head as i typed that...
i don't know if anybody's reading me, since you know i'm not really there, but i had the opportunity and wanted to say hi, and explain that after my last under-the-influence posts i really was trying to get the gremlin chronicles up before leaving d.c. but the damn computer would lemme get almost finished, then shut itself off without permission, fucking me and my post. after the 3rd try i gave up, and will be using grims' machine as i can to post between my return to d.c. and the arrival of the new laptop i clearly need to buy (not that i think we can afford it after this trip...)
anyway, australia's excellent and we eating like royalty- i tried my jeans on again (the ones i left d.c. wearing) and they're a little tight, so this last week i have to cut back if i want to be able to fit into my clothes to get on the plane...i don't know if naked travel is frowned upon, or welcomed by the security folks...
apart from eating well, we enjoyed melbourne, bought porn in canberra (apparently, in oz, the capital is where you go for porn, grass, and fireworks), spent a coupla days @ a lovely beachhouse on bateman's bay, and are now taking sydney by storm.
more later.
walk good.
