The Snook and I are off today to Homebake, a big Australian music festival. Hopefully I’ll have some good pictures for you afterwards. Later: Well, that was fun! I didn’t see any bands that made me shake my booty, but we heard a lot of new stuff and enjoyed being out in the sunshine. (Yes,…

Speaking of knitting… It’s done! Yes, that’s me modeling my very first Harry Potter house scarf. (Don’t worry, Sis; it’ll be winging its way to you shortly.) It took me about two weeks to finish.

Firestorm. I headed into the city today and finally saw with my own eyes the large cloud of smoke obscuring the sky. You can even smell it on the wind. I keep having flashbacks to camping with my folks, except I know that the fire causing this isn’t nearly so nice and friendly. Fellow Sydney…

Synchronicity. You know how I linked to that Rudolph article yesterday? Well, check out today’s Foxtrot. Hilarious! (Except his name’s Hermey, not Herbie.)
