First off, happy new year to everyone I haven't already said that to yet!

Just so that people don't start to wonder, I'm going to "sunny" Queensland in the morning (at least, it's sunny most of the time, but not right now when they're expecting cyclones) and will be back on the 14th if all goes well. It sort of defeats the purpose of going to the Gold Coast when it's pouring with rain, but we'll brave the weather regardless.

Maybe I'll head up to Brisbane to see what's going on up there, since it's infinitely better than trying to swim in that kind of weather (and I'll try to avoid that park in Fortitude Valley this time). I could get completely wasted on XXXX beer, which tastes ten times better north of the border. Or perhaps I'll sit around playing my DS and PSP in the hotel room. Such fun, I never would have thought about doing that in Sydney now, would I? :P

Whatever I end up doing, there is one thing I certainly will do. Bring an umbrella. Anyway, hope you all have fun without me, and I hope I find something worth doing up there.
