drinkin' the kool-aid

last night was lovely. we ended up at a tapas bar in Fitzroy with great atmosphere (couches, interesting music, winding little path through to the back patio to find the bathrooms) and fantastic food. we then saw some police lights, and of course walked toward them to see what was going on, because there also seemed to be some drumming there, too. The street/goth kids decided to have a random street party. so the cops had that section of the street blocked off. they all seemed to be hanging out together, and all was cool just so long as the people let the trams through. I heard one guy say the police were harassing them, but it all look pretty chilled out by the time we were there. damn the man. or something like that.

much walking. quite chilly. missing my wide selection of vegetarian fake-meats I have in the US. I don't think the veggie bologna would make it through the mail... But at least we've seen gobs and gobs of vegetarian restaurants around. and vegan shoes. nice.

this morning we picked out our sailboat we'll be taking around the Whitsunday Islands to loaf on beaches and scuba dive the Great Barrier Reef off of. No, I'm not kidding.

oh, and mark the day - I said "have a go" at dinner last night. watch out, I'll be eating the vegemite soon... (uch.)

Yuck vegemite... Please Halley we would like to have you back ALIVE... so don't go there. But it is great to hear you've had an encounter with the police and you didn't get arrested.
