On the Bottom Half

More jetsetting.

I'm off to England tonight at 2359 (QF29). My friend there has managed to get leave for my entire visit, which will make for extreme excitement. She's trying maybe, maybe, possibly, but not likely, to swing a flight on the J- or K-model Hercs so that I could come along for an airdrop or something... (!!!!!)

I went around the city this weekend finishing up Christmas shopping and tried to avoid the stupid G20 protesters becoming violent and uselessly anarchistic, ignoring the very irony of being an organised group promoting anarchy. There's actually 'professional' protesters - the newspaper (I know, I know) indicated that the really violent ones were from Europe and interstate. And it's hilarious on premise - they've even brainwashed a 16 year old to their destructive, vain, cause. Get a grip people - bashing a police paddy wagon to pieces shows that you are too stupid to use your energy wisely, instead wasting your fury in physical violence that vapourises every drop of credibility from your cause.

I digress... On Saturday night, I caught up with Bruce, Helen and the rest of the family for a pizza/movie night. Sunday morning, Helen invited me to come along to her baptist church where they had a lecture on creation science . . . . . Then I joined the youth group for the afternoon and performed in a skit about Elijah from the Kings book of the old testament. Being brought up in an Anglican Church causes surprise when observing how the baptists do it. Very tight on energy, but very loose on structure. Made for an interesting day.

Following that, I was dropped off at the house and worked on a project for the evening. Now I'm to pack today, organise a ride to the airport, etc., etc., and get on the airplane late tonight.

I'm hoping to put up something when I get around England, but I don't yet know the internet situation. If not, see you all soon!!!
