Also I just realized that you must have been placing the key inside the apartment in order to leave for awhile? I am confused by this whole concept--do you have to use a key to let yourself out of your home? Could I call into work claiming that I had lost my keys and couldn't leave home? So long as I have breakfast foods that wouldn't be so bad. Also, not only do I watch my clothes at the laundromat--I suspiciously eye anyone who wanders by my book while I am folding things. Small mexican children are always boosting books on political economy. Fuckers.

I've never seen Australians giggle so much as when trying to remember and sing the words to their national anthem. It's as if you don't have an over-inflated sense of national pride or someting. Then again, I can hardly talk after my performance in Tasmania. Yeah that was… stirring.

I think our stirring rendition of the national anthem at the community cup illustrates that we may have more in common than you'd think - I thought we did really well for a couple of thousand people who obviously didn't know the words...
