Tickets booked. Bags packed.

Alright.. Perhaps it's a little early to be writing a title like that..
Especially when I've still just over half a month before I depart the land of the tuque.
Nevertheless, I've begun packing up my bedroom, sorting things into two distinct piles. The 'I think I can leave these here' pile, and the 'There's no way in hell I'm leaving Canada without that' pile, which just happens to include among other novelties, my passport, and a copy of, 'Surviving Boredom: How to stay sane on plane trips longer than 10 hours.'. (Advice such as how to talk hosts and hostesses into giving you extra packets of nuts'n'nibbles, and how to consume your body weight in liquor are well explained and contain easy-to-follow illustrated instructions.)

Speaking of which, anyone been watching Heroes?
I hear it's all the rage lately, some friends of mine that don't even like sci-fi are into it.. I haven't had the pleasure of catching an episode yet though. If anyone out there has advice on whether I should invest a precious hour of my time on the pilot, please let me know.

Finally, in other news, I believe this weekend I'll be heading up to Whistler..
Exciting? Yes!
I'm sitting in Blenz Coffee at the moment, staring with a somewhat troubled, and slightly curious expression at the rain hitting the sidewalk, and remembering the glimpse of snowcapped peak I caught on the bus ride downtown this morning.. Though everyone here hates me saying it, I wish it was snowing in Vancouver now.. It would just be that much cooler.. and I mean cooler as in neato, wicked, wizard, etc, not cooler as in cold. Let's put that out in the open right now..

So, with only 435 hours until I get on the plane, I bid thee all a good day! Woohoo!

I've seen the first four eps of Heroes. Got to say, was kinda bored by the first ep but was hooked by the end of the third episode. It's one to watch I think!
Oh and if you want snow, it's snowing in the dandenongs today.

Anywho... yeah, apparently springs has sprung... a LEAK! Get it!! it's a pun... a play on... oh bugger it.
It's a balmy 14 degrees and SNOWING in Ballarat. But hey, it's ballarat. Not even the sun can be bothered going there.
Luckily it's only 2 days till i head on down to the 30 degree town of Fiji. *more sashaying*
