If you're wondering why I haven't blogged for awhile. . . there's a reason. I'm on the other side of the planet. After about the 20th hour out of 30 hours of travelling, the sun came up over down under. I raised the window shade and I stared out the window, bleary eyed and bloodshot, with the two kiwis on either side of me. I sat slackjawed looking at the pink clouds and purple sky. The sun was rising, and like a giant off centre division sign the horizon between cloud layers was shockingly punctuated by the biggest, whitest, fullest, and most upside down moon I'd ever seen. That was three days ago. Since then I've seen two seas, some desert, rainforest, a glacier that goes through a rain forest, got a cellphone, had a job interview, crossed the country in a car, slept in that car, failed to return the car on time, kept the car longer, and tomorrow I'm driving futher south for another job interview in the last little patch of land before the antarctic. That's why I've taken so long to write. I'm fine, this place is hilarious, the people are funny, and I haven't seen any douchebags yet. Give it time.

Talk toon, 2.24 left on internet here. . .Forgot data cable for camera, no pictures for awhile, trouble writing complete sentences, sacrificed use of definite articles.
