It’s official. This coming Tuesday afternoon, I will be climbing the Sydney Harbour Bridge with my friends Kel and Carrot. It’ll take us three hours. We may get tired. We may get dazzled by the heights. But at the end of it, we’ll get a certificate and a photo… which you can bet I’ll scan…

The novelty of the gym has officially worn off. Saturday I had to force myself to go. I didn’t want to do it. And I wanted to do it even less once I saw that my weight – which I had hoped would show some sign of decreasing – remained exactly the same. I know…

Mission accomplished! It took four and a half hours – and four separate dyeing operations – to take me from bright red to sensible brown. (Well, it’s actually a sort of reddish-blondish-brown, but it looks good.) First we had the bleach bath, which took out some of the red. Then a lightening operation, which left…

Hair dyeing appointment for 9:00 a.m. tomorrow. Still undecided as to color. Am thinking of simply going back to normal color as a way of avoiding the decision. Will let you know how it goes… (Why am I writing like this is a telegram?)

On the news tonight, they ran a feature on a vegetarian restaurant in Melbourne called “Lentil as Anything”. The kicker is, there are no prices at this place. It’s a “Buddhist” restaurant. You pay whatever you feel like, based on how much happiness the meal gave you. I’m totally and completely serious. The owner says…

Ugh. America’s suckiest band are currently touring Australia. Can’t you keep that crap over there?
