I had my first piece of Vegemite toast today as an Aussie, and I think I can say I actually liked it! I ate the whole thing anyway. (The rumors about its efficacy as a hangover treatment seem to be true as far as I can tell.) I also made my first official trip to the Sydney Fish Market to get the prawns yesterday. I’d managed to avoid it for five years, but I figured it was finally time to take the next step. It was smelly, but I survived. Lastly, I played a demo version of Lego: Star Wars and I think I might be hooked on a video game for the first time in years. It was a good weekend for Firsts!
Important Note
This site features content going all the way back to 2000. The posts you’ll read reflect my views and writing style at the time. While I have gone back to clean up a few of them, I think it’s important not to sanitise too much. This site is a record of who I am and how I’ve grown. Any blog post written years ago may not reflect who I am today, nor how I would write about the same topic today.

You are such an Aussie!
I myself have grown up here and only in later years mastered the art of enjoying vegemite.
Oh my gosh, beware of L:SW. It is taking over my life like no other game has since Tetris or maybe Myst.
Heh. I saw that on your site! I’m just incredibly frustrated right now, because all the bloody Apple stores in Sydney are closed down for the public holiday, SO I CAN’T BUY IT. And it’s pissing me off!
