This makes the news?
If I didn't know better, I'd say there was nothing else going on in the world: http://www.news.com.au/weird-true-freaky/man-opens-bag-of-cheese-rings-finds-one/story-e6frflri-1225821651358

Am I Dreaming?
The answer to this question could possibly yes, with the way life has been going lately. In the last three months my life has done a massive flip flop and landed me in in the land of elation. There are three pretty amazing things I thank the universe for daily: an amazing partner (this isn't new, but it is something I have appreciated daily for the last two years...and yes, it will be a two full years as of Sunday!) a remarkable home (that I still haven't quite gotten over) and an unbelievable job. I have just completed the first week of my new job and the time has drifted by with me lost in a daze. Marcus thinks I've been acting strange, but really it's shock and awe at having something so amazing happen to me that I can hardly believe it. It's very much like like the time my old boss took me suit shopping (and spent a considerable sum on my professional wardrobe). I was stunned to the core and cried in the car on the way home, letting out the overwhelming feelings...
Getting excited
2010 is gearing up to a great start. I feel it seeping into my bones, this is going to be a good year! My best evidence of this is that I'm starting to get my excitement back. For a while, my life hasn't felt like it's terribly exciting and although I've been adjusting to a new culture, land, way of being, it hasn't seemed like much of anything newsworthy has been happening. It felt like my child-like wonder got lost somewhere on the other side of the globe. But it may have been rediscovered! The most recent appearance of my recovered joy was in China town last night. I have resumed reading "Dragon Fighter" much to the chagrin of my overly vivid imagination and empathetic system. "It was as if the walls to our cells were closing in on us a bit more every day. We Uyghurs already felt like we had been locked up, but the confinement was getting even tighter. If a Uyghur boy wanted to learn boxing out of a simple interest in the sport, he was detained as ...
Fiji feedback
An idyllic vacation spot--tropical, sunny, and beautiful. A beachside vacation in Fiji was the decided destination for our Christmas holidays this year. With rain forecasted in Sydney for the length of the holiday period, we were very excited about the trip and the prospect of sun, ocean, and books. We woke up early on Monday morning before the crack of dawn and slowly got ourselves up the stairs to await our taxi pick-up. After paying double the normal cost (thieves!) we grumblingly made our way into the airport to waste two hours before our flight. The flight itself gets mixed reviews. It wasn't a long flight, only three and a half hours long, but unfortunately we were seated in the worst part of the plane--the child section. Oy! Kids screaming and running amok the entire time! There may have been a few well-behaved children in the mix, but it was hard to see them through the chaos. (It's the best birth control I can recommend.) ;) Rude parents, too. One lady, instead of tell...
