As the world implodes we fall in to it

I'm feeling very "Australian" today. I have been reading "Down Under" (by Bill Bryson - the wonderful man that wrote "A Short History Of Nearly Everything" - like Discovery Channel... but in a BOOK!) and thus love of my 'sunburnt country' is in overdrive. I made damper. And tea. And sat talking to Roy (I took to referring to him as "mate" often... and talking with a slightly 'nasal'-y tone). It was grand, and I'm only about 30 pages in. (Kaylie, beloved, if you read this go to the library and get it out. Now!)

AND! I think I should own a mass spectrometer. It would make things involving my intense curiosity of everything a lot easier.
On that note, Operation D.O.O.M. goes well. A new theory has been devised and I am delighted to discover that I know more about exploding things than I originally thought (all I need now is to get my hands on some magnesium powder).
