Is ALL of LA on fire? My browser opened to pictures of Catalina on fire. Which, funnily enough, is where I was for the “apocalyptic fall of ’03” as Jon puts it. Jon was also nice enough to let me know that the animals in the zoo are ok. 🙂

Went to kings park this morning and hiked around the nature walk. King’s park is, apparently, the most visited tourist site in Western Australia. Its a big park overlooking the city, and in addition to botanical gardens and sculted lawns and fountains, it has a huge chunk of wilderness bushland. So that was fun. Then I saw 300 in an historic art deco theater. Fun fun. Now I’m uploading photos from madagascar to webshots, so check em out.

I found 2 more cool groups on facebook: Sam Rockwell for President (hell yeah baby! peace democracy and stuff!) and I learned my alphabet from the ghastlycrumb tinies. 🙂

I have also been reading lots of questionable content (my brother got me addicted – and apparently its currently a more popular webcomic than sluggy. Its by the same guy who occasionally does indietits). You should check it out. When you have a whole saturday to waste. Exerpts from my chat with Ross re: QC:

               me: (I’m at 465 on QC now. I think you should pay for my internet costs since you got me ADDICTED)

wow – the giant purple sombrero-wearing ferret – wow

 Ah – its good to keep in touch with family.

And these made me crack up in the internet cafe: ”Disney’s making a movie starring a black princess. And we only had to get through a Native American princess, an Arab princess, a Chinese princess, even a half-fish princess. Not to mention the countless cats, dogs, mice, elephants, talking cars, and whatever the hell Stitch was.”
‘SENIOR BLACK CORRESPONDENT’ LARRY WILMORE, ON THE DAILY SHOW WITH JON STEWART

”I don’t have a problem with the genetic modification of our food. I am on record as saying I want an ear of corn to scream and bleed when I bite it. It would finally give vegetarians the thrill of the hunt.”
STEVEN COLBERT, ON THE COLBERT REPORT 

(Ed: I saw ads on tv yesterday for the daily show and the colbert report. It was lovely. The aussies in the room looked at me like I was crazy, but whatever. I adore Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert).

”Sunday is Earth Day. So suck it, Neptune!”
AMY POEHLER, ON ”WEEKEND UPDATE,” ON SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE

Spent the last 2 days at the hostel more or less getting my bearings, going over wwoof farms (I'm thinking either a horse ranch or a goat/sheep cheese place), reading, watching movies, etc. Budget-wise, I'm pleased to announce both my ... [Continue reading this entry]

I got out of spidey with an hour before my shuttlebus was due to pick me up, so I wandered around borders for a while and saw a premiere magazine, which I decided to skim through, seeing as there are ... [Continue reading this entry]

SPOILERS!!! Seriously - if haven't gone to see the movie, and you think you might - go see it first and read this later. Because I do think everyone should go see films without too many preconceptions as to what ... [Continue reading this entry]

Also - Premeire Magazine's 100 greatest lines: http://community.livejournal.com/ohnotheydidnt/12058032.html They seem pretty off to me. "Get in my belly" above "Go ahead. Make my day."? Plus there are about 10 from Casablanca. Pick one, guys, and give some other screenwriters a chance. ... [Continue reading this entry]

Sheesh - I'm barely keeping up with what I'm doing now, much less getting to my backlogged Mad. entires. I'll work on it. Ok - so. I flew to Perth dragging along the stupid box that the stupid man in ... [Continue reading this entry]

I arrived in Mauritius, and after being searched by customs (my banter with the guard kept him from finding my non-declared vanilla – haha!). I was greeted by a taxi driver ... [Continue reading this entry]
