Okay, I’m gonna be lazy for the time being, and rather than insert a lot of photos into existing blog posts, I’ve posted them to my Flickr site. You can view them by clicking here. If you follow that link (as opposed to clicking the Photos feed on the right-hand sidebar), the photos are sorted [...]

Australia Day 14- Of Rainforests and Rental Cars
Posted in Travel, tagged Atherton Tablelands, Australia, Cars, Travel, Wrong side of the road on September 26, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
The past two and a half days I’ve been making my way in a rental car around the Atherton Tablelands, a plateau just inland from Cairns and the Northern Australia coast. It’s an interesting mix of farmlands and tropical rainforest. Admittedly, the former was created by clear cutting large chunks of the latter, but there’s [...]
Australia Day 8- Half-Baked Thoughts from the Halfway Point
Posted in Travel, tagged Australia, Brisbane, Cairns, Public transit, Ranting, Travel on September 20, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
I got to Australia on the 13th. It’s the 20th. I’m leaving on the 27th. It actually feels like I’m past the halfway point, but maybe that’s because the first week was the busiest. Sydney, the Blue Mountains, Brisbane, and now I’m typing this from the hostel in Cairns. Coming up next week: the Great [...]
Australia Day 7- Interlude on Writing
Posted in Travel, Writing, tagged Australia, Brisbane, NaNoWriMo, Writing on September 19, 2009 | 2 Comments »
In the Blue Mountains and in Brisbane, I’ve taken time out each day to rest my feet (much needed) and just relax (not quite as needed, but fun). The Kookaburra Inn, where I’m staying in Brisbane, has a particularly nice little patio where I can sit for a couple hours in the shade, put my [...]
Australia Day 5- Blue Mountain Blogging
Posted in Travel, tagged Australia, Kids, Mountains, Sydney, Travel on September 17, 2009 | 1 Comment »
Today’s entry finds me in Katoomba, amidst the Blue Mountains, about 2 hours inland by train from Sydney. I was sorry to leave the city– I could easily spend two weeks just there, but in the interests of seeing all I can, it was time to move on. And there were aspects of my Sydney [...]
Australia Day 3- On Winging It, Wickedly
Posted in Travel, tagged Australia, Musicals, Storytelling, Sydney, Travel, Wicked on September 15, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
I said in my first Australia that there might not be an entry for every day. I did not, however, say there wouldn’t be days with multiple entries… One nice thing about travelling, particularly by yourself, is the ability to change or make plans instantly, on whatever whim strikes you. Like how, tonight, after dining [...]
Australia Day 3- Manly Blog Entry
Posted in Travel, tagged Australia, Manly, Ocean, Sydney, Walking on September 15, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
Manly is a section of Sydney north of the harbor, stretching from well inland to where the harbor empties into the Pacific Ocean, and let me state for the record that it’s a great name for a place. I wanted to take pictures of me flexing my arms in front of every sign I saw. [...]
Australia Day 1- Travails of Jet Lag
Posted in Travel, tagged Australia, Jet Lag, Sydney, Travel on September 13, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
This is the first in several entries on Australia. There won’t be one for everyday, just whenever a good blog entry pops into my head. I’m also going to back-date them to the day they happened. Australia. Oz. Down Under. It’s a place everybody claims they want to go, but very few people actually do- [...]
Dragon*Con Report

I got back on Monday evening from my first Dragon*Con, and it was quite a weekend. In order to see and do everything, you’d need to be able to be in… oh, I’d say 30 places at once. Saturday I was at the con from 8 am to past midnight, Sunday I was there from [...]
