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! :)

*hugs* I'm glad that you made it back home though that sucks about the horrible experience in LAX. 31 1/2 hours? Wow, and I thought my trips to India was bad! I used to have to deal with that airport all the time (because I was flying from San Jose to LA while was still in school there) but fortunately, I was able to avoid the international terminal, lol. My side was smaller. :D

Ooh, I love Sukhwinder Singh! Though I've only heard him in Bollywood songs, he has a great voice. And that's awesome you're going to see Adam Lambert too! He was in SF but the first show got sold out and the second show was on the day I was to traveling (ironically enough, to Australia!). But I hope you have a blast and I can't wait to hear all about both of them! :)

Yeah... I had some issues getting home. ;) Sometimes it happens. *shrug* I had hoped it wouldn't be so bad but what can you do? Having to work today was a bitch though.

Yay, two Sukhwinder Singh fans and counting!! \o/ His voice is AMAAAAAZING! I could listen to him endlessly. I'm going to be in male vocal heaven between him and Adam in October. *imagines them in a duet and dies*

Ah that sucks that you missed him, but I'm sure there will be other opportunities! :) I'll definitely post about the concerts!
