RETURN

Yes I am back from the wilderness of Cairns. Sorry about the mad (lack of) spacing in the last post. I hope it was an exciting change to your otherwise dull routine.

Also, I added a background. I think it's cool, almost like someone spilt coffee over my blog. Probably a New Yorker. They're always drinking coffee. Ohn my blawg. Shut up.

I hope you got a general feel for Cairns in the last post. I think the crazy spacing just makes it more like the inside of my head, which I imagine is full of stuff rattling around in no particular order with NO SPACING AT ALL, because I am a wild and crazy rebel, obviously. My mind would be a stupid place to live because nothing makes sense and there is cake everywhere, and the people are unfriendly and imaginary. Maybe I have a fever. I seem to be making less sense than usual today. I woke up this morning with a runny nose and another person in my bed. She's gone now though.

Anyway, since we last chatted, I:

• Went snorkeling in the Barrier Reef. Which was cool. Fish be chillin. It was a little bit freezing, but I like to think the arctic temperature kept me alert and constantly VIGILANT. At one stage I grabbed someone and said "Hold on, Jack" but they looked at me weirdly and kicked me gently until I let go. 

• I bought a really old book. It's from 1940, and was published in France when it was occupied by the Germans. It is a book on how to learn French, which I thought was awesome. 

• I also bought a Nepalese prayer wheel. I know, we all have one, but I felt I needed another. 

DOES NO-ONE ELSE FIND IT UNSPEAKABLY COOL? The Buddhist monks of Nepal would hold the stick and swing the golden part around while praying. If you open the top there is a scroll all folded up which shows the whole prayer in Nepalese.

I love it.



I did take lots of proper pictures of Cairns and other bits and pieces, but I'll post those in a while after I've been through em.

Also, I had a nerdy pick up line competition with some friends and here are the best:


Baby, I know my chemistry and you've got one significant figure.

Hey baby, up for some high energy quantum tunneling tonight?

You must be a magnetic monopole because all I get from you is attraction.

And Nicky's best one:

I am into bondage.


GOOD DAY, SIR.
