3 more sleeps.......
















First post. Lets see if i stick to this blog thing.

I leave Monday afternoon. Its Friday morning now. I havent packed, the iPods not loaded and I have a bazillion things left to do before I jet. Fuck!

Off to see Naboo tonight at the Espy with A-Dogz bitches and the cheese hater. Im gonna miss them all.

Called Qantas yesterday to confirm the flight - British Airways have a cabin crew strike starting this weekend. Lucky the flight for me isnt a BA flight and is fully Qantas. Is that a good thing??? I purposely booked the flight time so I could get on the A380. But the Qantas lady said its not 100% confirmed itll be an A380. Doh. Oh well, I just want to get there. Fingers crossed the unpronounceable Icelandic volcano doesnt cause me issues.

Funny story - in Japan they call Qantas 'kuntas'. I shit you not. I nearly fell off my chair when I head them say that. Sure it was maybe from the saki but thats another story for another time. I heart Japan. I love her sweet sweet record stores, Harajuku girls, awesome Mt Fuji, tech gadgets, McTerayaki burgers, Pocari Sweat, Pocky and ninjas. Been there 5 times and plan on having many many more adventures there in the future.

Time to go do stuff - Glynn's iPad just turned up at the house. I must leave him alone with his new toy so they can bond as one.
