A number of things have taken place. All are mundane, hence the bullet points:
I shaved my head, and my concept of head/neck propertion was very briefly out of whack today. It was very, very odd.
Went to Tan's and got me some new pants and feivues. I'd had the previous pair of shiny Tai Chi pants for, oh, about 2 years... and the wholes...

w00t!
It'll be back to university for me next year, and the abject terror of not being completely certain I wanted to do honours in Japanese has now been alleviated by the options of any of a graduate diploma in English lit, creative writing, criminology, political science... you name it.
Glawesome! Also, I can still do a p.grad dip in Japanese if the honours thang...

That's put me off scorpion sex for life.
Jaffa Cakes and Hob Nob flapjacks are away! When I went to the Post Office, the counter-lady asked me what was in the parcel.
"Excuse me?"
"The parcel - what's in there?"
"Oh, well, some sweets. Jaffa Cakes and Hob Nobs"
"I'm going to have to check if that's okay..."
(panic sets in as she types things into a PC for a couple of minutes, remaining completely silent throughout)
"Okay...it says you can't send fish or meat produce. So you should be fine"
Phew! Money changes hands, a plethora of official looking stickers are attached, and a cultural exchange is go!

I lived there for a year. I love Japan!

The Exploding Vest, my foray into the world of sad-git bloggery, is now up and ready for reading.
Updates, most likely, will come on a daily basis. Who knows...
I hope you are all well

Macadamia nuts.
coralsea:
Chocolate on them!!! Nevair!! Macadamias were made for salt. Brazil nuts are pretty good too, they taste like hot chips.
Woah - after the cackosity of yesterday, I feel mysterious happier than I did before.
Damn our puny biological systems. Some doodad in your brain squirts out a chemical of some sort, and you suddenly want to cry. The next day, the catalyst in question has dried up, and you feel inexplicably fine again. How strange.
As my brother says: it's not depression if there's...

Mmm...bite-sized hedgehogs.
Too much coffee + craptacular weather does make for down-in-the-dumpedness all right. Hope you perk up soon.

Omega Supreme look s pretty cool - I have an awful memory for Transformers at the best of times, but I vaguely remember the chap. Is it just me, or does it seem like he has lemon wedges coming out of his shoulders? 
Jaffa Cakes are bountiful - and scrum-diddly-umptious. Soon they will be yours.

I found it!
I saw that film 'The Killing Fields' when I was about 11 or 12, and it's filled my nightmares since then, to the point that I doubted that it was actually a real film, and honestly believed I'd just dreamt the whole thing.
Not so - I have the aged and beautiful VHS tape in my home right now, just waiting to...

i love it when you find something like that... when i was younger i had a huge fear of et.... huge fear i had nightmares from when i was 5 till about 12... and i haven't been able to watch it since.. my mum used to sit me in front of the tv and pry my eyes open to watch it but i always got away...

VHS is a thing of beauty. I'm convinced that this generation will spawn a bunch of rabid VHS obsessives who will churn out zines and websites dedicated to the format...much like the 8-track.
The search for Hob-Nob bars continues - I'm starting to think they don't make them anymore I did find some Hob-Nob flapjacks though.
In case they really don't make the bars - any other biscuit based curiosities that need sating?

Right this moment, I'm at home - in my home. Not the Melbourne one, but the huge and lovely Daylesford one. It sounds trite, but my father built it with his bare hands, using power tools as a sort of vector-of-constructions. We got builder guys for the roof, but it's illegal not to do so, and a transgression would be riight up there with splitting...

Hobnobs are the best bikky evar. They are so subtle, yet wholesome. Like that Sami character from Advance Wars. Small breasts, wide hips, and short hair. Hee!

Here's more: CHOCOLATE hobnobs. I didn't know they existed, but now my life is complete. Man, I'm going to have the hugest fucking gut ever - it will...

Nup - there is now no question in my mind. The Age (local broadsheet. Think New York Times, I guess, but kinda more low brow, recently) -- they're making up their letters. No question. I mean, look at this. Just look at it!
