Today was a good day.

This is the political comic in the Perth paper 'the West Australian'. Costello is the Deputy Prime Minister, and he just recently made an announcement about integration in Australia. This comic is just fantastic, it's drawn by a guy called Dean Alston and the faces he draws and the vibe of his pics always hit the exact spot of what is happening in the news.
He is practically a legend in newspaper circles around the country as the best political cartoonist. I hope this blog entry doesn't end up with Australian products getting boycotted..

Other news, um, I went to Colin's Bucks party. Hehe now that was a pretty wild night but that would be telling if I went into too much detail. I'll talk about the Jess thing later when I'm feeling less tender about it but hey, she had been building up for this for weeks, so when she left me I could already tell she had moved on from me. So it's hard to feel too sad when I know that she isn't feeling like I am. Obviously I'm on a daily cycle of the angry/sad/remorseful/relieved and a few other feelings at the moment, but anywayss.. I threw away her toothbrush today and put away all my photos of her on display, woo hoo the first steps of getting my life back!

I saw 'History of Violence', the new David Cronenberg movie on Saturday, and it's classic Cronenberg. I thought it was awesome! And it had less gooey stuff than many of his earlier films. It still wasn't the cult classics like 'Scanners' or 'Videodrome' but I think it's up there with his best stuff!

I've been looking through my old travel diary, and I've been looking up all my old Baltic adventures. I will soon write about my travels in this part of the world, now that a friend has kicked my butt to get started on it again! Jeepers, I've got so much more time now that I'm not running around after Jess' dramas! I think I can feel a bit of the ol' Grant returning, getting a bit of my sass back. Come to think of it, I was miserable for ages once Jess started getting sick. I feel like I am waking up. Maybe NOW is the time for my long deserved holiday..
