Urrgh, just when I was thinking I could go one year without doing the laborious pack-move-dump cycle again, my landlady announces, on Monday, that she’s selling the place. While she’s not kicking me out directly, odds are the new owners, whomever they end up being, won’t be interested in taking me on as part of… Read more
No news of note to report. I’m still considering travel options… Egypt would be great except I can’t find any way to get to Melbourne from there that isn’t ridiculously expensive (cheapest thus far is $3,600, for that single, one-way leg of the trip).

Damnit, that entry with the melted chocolate happened to come up while I was switching views, and I immediately picked up a craving for it.
