why wy?

We are going to Adelaide! I think it will be the furthest my car has gone, so wish us luck.

Actually we wanted to go ski, but turned out that it was too expensive on a student budget. Even getting around Australia's pretty expensive: A trip to Ayer's Rock is around $300, without airfare. Maybe it's the sheer distance involved, for that price we could live it up in Thailand and still have money for shopping.

Things that had me laughing:

Saw a spoof of the jerry springer show on, of all things, a documentary of james joyce. They had dh lawrence and virginia woolf on stage while the crowd heckled. Damn funny.

Borrowed a dvd of eddie izzard, the british stand-up who is infamous for cross-dressing. It was, in his words, the dog's bollocks. (Which means very very good, as opposed to just bollocks, which is rubbish.) Saw two forgettable French movies as well.

More post-Harry Potter conversation:
Nick: How come Harry is so powerful?
Me: When the dark lord tried to kill Harry, his powers got transfered over. Sort of.
N: Ahhh, like those hongkong movies.
Me: And he's also got no body. So his followers are trying to get his body back for him in the earlier books.
