beached whales

we've been seeing these stickers on cars lately saying "beached as bro" and were really confused about what it meant. that is until we went to noosa this weekend and malakai explained it all with this video

soccer and hailstorms

TWO THINGS.





one: i was starting to feel old and slow, so i joined the summer soccer league here. it is 6 a side. i am pretty sure the whole of byron shire is playing on a team. it's fun, but i am unfit. i also haven't played soccer since high school. this basically means that i can only juggle for like two seconds before dropping the ball. perfect.




two: i have never been so frightened for the safety of my car and small children like i was today. hail the size of golf balls were denting cars and breaking rooftops. i was outside, stuck in a partially covered gazebo/awning type thing when the hail started to come down. it was the loudest, most amazing thing i've ever seen. it was so crazy to have beautiful sunny weather turn to icy hailstorm weather.

american things...

it is quite interesting trying to follow what's happening in america (debates, financial woes, palin interviews) from australia. basically garrett and i try to watch videos, read articles and read papers trying to understand what's really happening. 


mostly, though, i have been trying to learn through a comedic eye...
