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! :)

Adam Lambert? Lucky!!!!!

I have never flown out of LAX (I live closer to John Wayne Airport in Santa Ana) and I hope I never do ...

I know! :D I am interested to see how he goes in Australia--he's getting a lot of radio play here and he's playing one of the bigger venues in town (though not a stadium--I gather he's not doing stadiums in the States yet either though).

All the Australians I met while travelling wanted to talk about avoiding LAX! Since we all have to fly in to the west coast it's a major prob for us. ;) Next time I am paying more for the direct flight to San Fran, I swear! *says this now and will probably end up being a cheapskate and opting for LAX next time anyway and paying for it*
