This whole “no parents” thing takes a bit of getting used to. All these little jobs that got done invisibly behind my back. Closing the blinds. Opening the blinds. Preparing dinner. And who knew that clothes didn’t wash themselves? They’ve been sitting in the corner of my room for ages, and still have yet to do that thing where they jump neatly folded and clean onto the end of my bed.

In geekier news, I got around to installing the AdBlock extension to Firefox today. Oh my. See an ad you don’t like? I presume this is all of them. Right click on it, block it and all others like it. Pow! They’re gone. I’ve killed five sorts of ads already today and I’m just getting started. I always quite appreciated the subtelty of Google’s ads but I destroyed them anyway.

I have the video camera again, so a series of ‘webisodes’ charting our time in Canada might turn up. Bite size pieces, I’m thinking. Sadly — or perhaps happily for you folks — we don’t have overly exhaustive footage. But stay tuned to NTGF for “Operation: Hypothermia” and “Assassinate Georgie-Boy”.

I can’t believe Monash don’t have mid-semester break yet. What are you losers waiting for? Any later and you’ll have to call it swot vac.
