…Better, stronger, faster…
Life is good again, we are finally connected (as my desktop hungrily devours our bandwidth with over 150mb+ of downloads for updates). You should start seeing my IM and Skype active again 🙂
Lately we (Gold Coast) has been battered by a major storm, huge waves, beaches closed, tons of rain, the works. It isn’t really cold (72f), I’m still walking around in shorts and sandals (but Kristen is wrapped up in sweats). If this storm keeps up, you can expect to see me online for the next few days.
Today Kristen and I wandered around a bit, we first went shopping and then decided it was a good day to hit the movies. It’s amazing how mixed up the schedule is here. On one hand they are showing “Munich” which was just released as we left the states, but on the other hand “Aeon Flux” is due out soon (that was out in early Dec 2005). We settled on seeing “Firewall” which was pretty much your standard Harrison Ford movie, family man who gets involved with people because of his job and then ends up saving/defending his family at the end. (no surprises). Afterwards, we drove over to Surfers Paradise and (indulged in a minor cure for home sickness) visited Starbucks. We found (much to our surprise) that it was open every night until 12am AND that they will take our American Starbuck Cards (woot). I enjoyed a white chocolate mocha while Kristen found comfort in a vanilla latte. (aaah comfort food).
After we headed back home, we found that the internet connection had been provisioned, so I got everything setup and finally closed off the night watching “Back to the Future” and “The Borne Identity”
