clo_againSo in the last few days I've discovered that Good News Week has a Facebook, has a website where you can watch the episodes and Paul McDermott's video blog online, and you can download the entire series for free on iTunes. Oh, and: the Jason Byrne/Paul McDermott mime from Melbourne Comedy Festival IS ON YOUTUBE. :DDDDDDD
Never watch Australian comedy in public places, because the sounds you make trying not to laugh are probably worse than actual all-out laughter.
(For the non-Aussies on my flist, the guy giving the head is the one I want to steal from Australia. And still might, before I leave! ;) )
In Australia news that ISN'T about Good News Week or Paul McDermott or DAAS (I know, shocking),
His name was Slojo (I think; the koala woman said it like three times and I still wasn't sure) and he was adorable. I didn't want to give him back, except my arm was actually going to sleep after five minutes because those little fuzzballs are heavy. You'll have to ignore my frizzy hair issues (my theory is that I'm backpacking; stuff the hair care) and my lovely stomach sticking out because it was the only way I could balance his weight.
But he was lovely. I was really disappointed when she moved to take him back because koala. I'd never even seen one before last week.
The tiger show at Dreamworld was pretty spectacular too, even though we only caught the end of it. The keepers were actually running around the - well, it wasn't a cage because there was a moat instead of bars which meant the pictures came out fantastically - instead the 'pen' with the tigers, a massive white one and one half-white/half-orange and getting them to do tricks for treats. So unspeakably cool to see a tiger jump on command because those suckers jump high. I will post some pictures when I'm not feeling quite so lazy.
Speaking of which, I should actually go shower now. I think a week of running around Sydney like a headless chicken, plus an uncomfortable 18hr bus trip, plus Dreamworld yesterday has proved too much. Definitely indulging our urge to laze today. :)
Bad news: my new debit card still hasn't arrived. I was kind of expecting it to be here waiting for me, so I'm twitching a little more each day it doesn't show. Fingers crossed for Monday because I'm so tired of worrying about stupid money all the time. Dear Nationwide, your card replacement policy sucks. Lots of hate, Clo.
