Home sweet? home

Yesterday I got home from a three-week holiday in the States to find my country had a hung parliament and my electorate was the first in Australia ever to elect a Greens MP. My feelings are currently as conflicted as all Australians, I suspect. It was quite hard news to process at the end of 31.5 hour trip home. (LAX is my new Heathrow! If I never fly through there again it will not be soon enough--though I did have a blast hating on it with my fellow Aussies stranded in the check-in queue for 2.5 hours.)

In happier news I have a new little baby cousin Aeryn, and tickets to both Adam Lambert and Shukwinder Singh (my favourite Bollywood singer) in October. \\\o///

I'm sure I'll feel even happier as soon as the room stops rotating around me. Ah, jetlag! :)

Sorry about your LAX experience, I've never had any problems there but it's a big airport so I suppose shit happens.

Yay Adam Lambert concert! I'm going to mine tomorrow and I'm super excited. Anytime you're able, if you can send me that picture of me I'd really appreciate it :)

Yes, I think that any of those enormous, older airports are a bit like roulette... I know people who've flown through Heathrow 20 times without a problem, yet every time I go there I seem to end up in some Kafka-esque hell tunnel or get stranded in some strange part of the airport for hours on end. ;) I'm sure LAX is similar. I have to say my first trip through was fine, but this one left me standing in a queue for 2.5 hours then waiting to get on flight for 1.5, then taxi-ing on the tarmac for another 1, then a medical emergency (unannounced) resulted in not leaving for another 1.5 hours... I didn't get dinner til 2am. :(

Adam TOMORROW?! Wow!! I hope you will post all about that! He's playing an awful lot of concerts, isn't he?

OK, I'm trying to find the thingammybob that transfers photos to my laptop.... workin' on it!
