Of all the days to not have my camera!

In the woods off to the side of a bike path I frequently use to get from the embassy back to the hotel, I saw a pair of kangaroos, one with a joey. We stared at each other for a while, they ate some grass (including the joey), they hopped a bit, and I rode off. :)

How useful! Chainsaw of Natural Selection, from the Shauna/Ederlyn continuum.

A quote from Frasier (season 6, ep125, Google tells me) that I particularly enjoyed when I saw that episode, quoted by [livejournal.com profile] indigo:
[Frasier and Niles are sitting in a cafe; Niles suggests Marie is going out with Frasier for free psychiatric advice.]
Frasier: You're just jealous! I'm having hot, sweaty, jungle sex! What are you having?"
[The waitress approaches, unseen by Frasier.]
Niles (to both): I'm having a latte.



So, I basically just spent A$0.80 to save a post in iJournal, as it is stupid and, if I tell it to "edit last entry", it overwrites anything i've been composing with the text of the last entry. I just typed such a command accidentally, while aiming for an HTML preview, and it wouldn't listen to my command-period pleas to cease and desist such a connection. So, I removed the phone cord, iJournal failed on the lookup, I made sure the text was saved, and dialed in again, for the hotel's A$0.80 fee. :P (Meanwhile, I was starting up Grab to get a screen capture in case it decided to try to lose it anyway.)
