FUCK this five-county cheese is SO GOOD! *munch*

It's expensive, so I probably shouldn't eat it so quickly, but OMG *devours*

I love cheese.

In other news, walking home on Tuesday night from the uni party venue, it was -6. Everything was frozen. The leaves on the trees, the grass, the top of a pond. Ellen and I (both Aussies) were just like 'omg wtf frozen' and the locals were like 'meh', and the rabbits that jump all over the fields were like 'omg fuck this shit', apparently, because they were nowhere to be seen.

Amusingly enough, the party was an 'Australian beach party' in celebration for Australia day, which is today! Happy Australia day everyone! There were people wearing Hawiian shirts and flower leis (*scoff*), and some random b-grade Aussie celebrity from Neighbours, and there was a CRUSH to shake his hand, and people got their BOOBS signed by him, and just, like... *sigh* It was rather amusing, though, I must say, and they played good music which allowed good dancing.

We're gathering together all the Aussies we can find for a drink in the pub tonight. I'm weaning myself onto beer. Slowly.

And, um, yeah, classes and shit. I've been to some, I promise.

Mmmmmmmmmmm Cheeeeeeeeeeese.

Which reminds me, tomorrow I need to go see my dealer (John at Czerwik's fine wines and cheeses) for a fix.

ooh, yum. And shiny. Mine was just from Morrisons deli section, but a cheese DEALER? Where can I find one to marry? ;)

AAAAAAAAARGH Don't mention the M word!!!

* covers ears with hands and sings *

Lalalalalalala I can't hear you!

*chuckles*

What's wrong with the M word?

(Except maybe that I have to catch the bus half an hour with my stupid groceries)

It's where I toil daily for very low wages and lots of stress.

Ah. Ick. My appologies, then.

I know how you feel. I only finished Christmas Eve at Toys R Us to come over here.

Customers suck, really.

Like an industrial strength vacuum cleaner

The best part about going to college somewhere cold is watching all the people from warm climates freak out in winter. XD

Not that I always laugh at the pain of others, but...hee. ^^

Happy Australia Day!

Why would you want to wean yourself onto beer? It's awful awful stuff. Is it one of those things you have to do to be one of the "Aussies abroad"?

Everyone drinks beer here. It's cheap and it takes longer to drink. They also have much less of a range of sweet things to drink here - less lolly water and mixers. It looks good in glasses, too. I want to enjoy Guiness because it just LOOKS so GOOD *smile*.

Guiness is worst of all!

Seriously, during the college year I live opposite the factory where that stuff is produced. They call it "The Home of the Black Stuff". It's actually The Home of the Nasty Cloying Fumes that Smell Like Burnt Bread.

I don't know what to make of this issue at all. On one hand beer very very bad, on the other featherxquill very very good. Where oh where should my moral stance lie?

*whispers* On featherxquill still really preferring smirnoff ice, perhaps?

*grin*

You can always try drinking cider ;) Though watch out, as the good stuff is surprisingly high in alcohol. Or of course you can drink your country's wines, usually at a dreadful markup.

Yesh, go Australia Day! Let the world know just how truly wonderful we are.

LoL. Rabbits.

OMG ICON LOVE!!!

And yes, rabbits. Hee! ;)

Let's see ... what did I do for Australia Day? I know they were offering a free lamington down on the beach, but since it was 43°C outside, I elected to stay indoors instead & write tepid pr0n.

We just made our own cheese the other weekend and it rocked. A batch of Mozerella took about an hour. Added basil and garlic to some of it, yummmm.
