Quiet Time

Hmm, am having a quiet week here - and lacking inspiration to do witty entries - writer's block perhaps? Plus am tired, doesn't help that I am having late nights computer gaming, but the heat and humidity is also taking it out of me - highs of 32 to 35 Celcius this week, and high humidity. Have finally decided on a thirty degree rule LOL - if the anticipated high is going to be above thirty degrees, I will wear a short sleeved shirt and try to get out of the habit of long sleeved shirt and tie every single freaking day LOL.



And also am bouncing between the idea of just writing anything I am interested in (not a lot in a quiet week) or trying to tailor something witty for word of blog (not quite word of mouth LOL) to raise the readership - after BlogExplosioning heaps in December and January, my readership has fallen to normal pitiful levels.



Have the trip to V's home state coming up in umm two and a bit weeks - that could be a bit of excitement LOL. Arrive there at 4.00pm on the Friday and fly out again at midday on the Monday, so that's basically three full days spread over four LOL. At least it should be cooler weatherwise down there - why oh why did my parents decide to settle in BRISBANE of all places? I am far worse with hot weather than I am with cold...



Oh, here's one thing of interest - an Australian resident who left a psychiatric hospital in Sydney and went to far north Queensland was detained after she said she would hitchhike to Brisbane (about 1200km). She then was put in detention, first at a federal prison near Brisbane and then the immigration centre in South Australia where the illegal immigrants are sent. Sure, she gave false names and everything, but an Australian resident, allowed to be here, chucked into limbo for ten months and even considered for deportation, and she wasn't even a terrorist or anything. Biggest political story of the week here...



Cherie Blair, the UK PM's wife, is on a private speaking tour of New Zealand and Australia, mainly flogging her book by the sounds. Anyways, she was in Auckland on Monday, and as the article says - 'You can call us [New Zealanders] a lot of things. But not Aussies.' And guess what she did LOL. Sort of like the dilemma touring bands have to avoid, don't confuse Chicago with Detroit, don't mention Quebec in Alberta, and the like :)



Eh, time to head off to work, late shift today - don't go there until 11.00 (so a ten o'clock train and a ten past nine start to get ready), but that means that I don't get home til close to 8.30. At least it should be cooler at that time of the evening - supposed to get up to 35 today, and would have gone to a movie to stay in air conditioning LOL.



Later peeps - fingers crossed I get inspired again in the next wee while :)
