So this is post 265. It arrives on the last evening in the abode I have been predominantly residing in for the past 36 months… minus time spent during overseas gallivants.

For those of you keeping up, you may be aware of the smash factor that’s been beating my ass from Melbourne to Brisbane and back etc for the past few weeks. Back and forth, forth and back. I’m not sure which way anymore.

For four years I was mad involved with college radio, WXCI 91.7 Danbury Connecticut in fact. I grew up stealing my sisters’ cassette tapes and listening to HOT 97 out of New York City.

Being stuck indoors due to way-too-freezing outdoor conditions is something I have not experienced for some time. I was telling one of my sisters that the whole no exercise thing is getting to me and wreaking havoc on the detox. Continue reading…

Exactly four weeks until it’s back to Australia. Chatting to my good mate Botchy yesterday, who is likely to end up with a tag once I swap continents… Part of our conversation sounded like this:

‘Dude. I’m detoxing.’

This was my mother’s reaction when I warned her this morning that no coffee time is nearly upon us… She continued with, ‘Can’t you just do that when you go back to Australia?’ before realizing ‘Oh you don’t start that for another week still, I’ll be out in the mornings so I won’t have to deal with you…’ Continue reading…
