What is up with Yanks and UGG? All my Australian people... see that LINE?? Of all the things in Australia for people to tap into... seriously. News for you my fellow Yanks, waiting in line outside an UGG shop is VERY un-Australian. In the instance a line formed outside an UGG shop in Australia two things would be critical. 1. Hell would be freezing over. 2. Free beers with an accompanying sausage sizzle would have to be happening along with...
Yesterday was a JK Rowling moment. I refer to her often because pre-Harry Potter she was a broke ass nobody preparing to top herself. Not that I'd ever off myself, but I appreciate the 'Why God Why?!' moments Writers have staring into silent space trying to remind themselves why they bother again (we sort of don't have a choice).

I went to Georgia once... and I've had to land in LA to switch planes on my way to...
Today is officially my one month anniversary of being in the states, breaking the record for time spent here in seven years. Usually I do a two or three week trip here and there... never anything like this. I love being back. What I miss the most I think, is cultural influence. Australia certainly has it's share of culture... but with twenty some odd million down there compared to over three hundred million here... it's not quite the same mix....
