I am now the sheepish owner of a Nespresso machine! It was a gift, and we already have far superior coffee machines in HK and SG, so we schlepped it to Melbourne to fuel my addiction. Ayup. I would like to be able to choose my own bean, of course, but I think the Nespresso-only limitation can be circumvented with careful use of foil. (Long story.)
Coming into Tullamarine Airport, I could not help but notice that the Australian government itself seems to want to spread the internet's terror wrt this continent. Their tourism posters share a common theme. A life-sized image of an 8.5m croc (the largest found here, apparently), pointing out that the tiiiiny box jelly beats out sharks and snakes and crocs for the title of "most dangerous aquatic lifefo FUCK THERE'S ONE RUN AWAY FUCKING RUN AWAY", describing just how many poisonous snakes there are in this country. Personally I love it and find it hilarious, but I think you may be fucking up your cause a little, guys.
My head is very full of thoughts at the moment; I recall now that I wanted to post a few musings on being Catholic, and how the church is like the Mafia (no, it is not the Italian connection), but not right now. Later tonight, maybe.
