With three weeks left, what was the point of all that? Does anyone have one of those remotes like in that stupid "Click" movie? I need a >> button.

I had a great dinner last night with some friends and...

I'm almost done with my visa app to Oz. All I need now is a chest x-ray and I'm done. Then it's just a waiting game.
