I'm not really, I've just been listening to alot of Eskimo Joe. Coincidentally Eskimo Joe have just been confirmed as one of the performers at this year's ARIA Awards (read: Grammys, but lamer) which is awesome because I have tickets to go (read: I am lame) and I haven't seen Eskimo Joe perform since they were punk teenagers at Homebake in 1999. They've also confirmed The Veronicas (meh), Keith Urban (that's more like it) and Wolfmother (fuckin' A!).
Tonight my beloved Sydney Swans beat some bunch of losers to make it into the AFL Grand Final for the 2nd year in a row. If West Coast win their match tomorrow then next week will be a replay of last year's Grand Final - hopefully to the extent that we can kick their arse AGAIN.
I had the somewhat ingenius idea the other night of buying tickets to the tennis this summer - the only event we get in Sydney is the Medibank International so I didn't have many choices but by the luck of fantastic timing I managed to get some tickets that are a MERE 5 ROWS FROM THE COURT for the Men's Final. The bad news is that Roger Federer (read: my one true love) hasn't played in that competition for many a year and usually plays the Kooyong Classic then goes straight on to the Aussie Open. The good news is that I live in hope that he will decide to play just this once and make my life complete.

I'm off to melbourne.
here is hoping I don't get trampled by swan fans.
at least if you did it would be for a good cause. i know that makes you feel better.
bon voyage!
I invented The Sydney Swans.
Thank god for you Nicky.
Hooray for swans! They also chase away Canadian Geese, who leave large green turds everyhwere. Swans have saved us from green turds!
Also, apropos of nothing except that I know you understand, why do family members enjoy tearing us down so much just as we're gaining a small measure of success?
I'm a firm (hee hee) believer that the only things you can count on in life are death, taxes and emotionally scarred by your family.
The Swans are therefore heroes, on many many levels.
Ubie, the trick is to remind yourself if that is their level of support for you then their opinion can't matter or you will be forever trying to please people who can't be pleased UNLESS it's all about them. And we all know it's all about me, so...
Nick: he he. you said 'firm'. Rectify that at once!
