My budgie died yesterday! He was so cool. I should get another one soon.

I was just reading the OCAU frontpage and I saw a link to the world’s most powerful flashlight. The torch is unbelievable. With a battery of only 15 minutes, you’d think it would be hardly worth the money or effort getting one. But wait until you see what this baby can do. It can fry eggs, burn paper, light matches…anything destructive really as well as turning night into day. Take a look for yourself.

So you know when you log into messenger and that annoying Windows Live window pops up with the latest news? Well today I just saw the words “High School Musical” and it grabbed my attention Apparently Jessica Alba, in an interview with Elle magazine, she spoke words about Zac Efron (Troy Bolton in HSM1/2). She expressed herself about him by saying “He looks like a child with a lot of makeup, “My God, you’re just a little kid”. Even on and off girlfriends Vanessa Hudgens called him a sissy and a little girl. All of this made me laugh, I think it’s true…my roommates back at CU said he looked orange even…

My brother Andrew told me that an American couple will be working with GetAGripOnTennis for a year. They are such a lovely couple from Seattle, Washington if I can recall correctly. We have been having regular hits of tennis which has also been good for my game also - more so for exercise than anything else! I hope they enjoy their time here just as I enjoyed my time in the US.

So this morning I got a call from my auntie telling me that they had stayed overnight in San Francisco. Apparently stupid United Airlines delayed their flight in Denver so they missed the connecting flight back to Australia!

They are currently on standby for a possible flight back tonight at 10:55 PM local time depending on seat availability. Otherwise, they have a guaranteed flight at 10:55 PM local time tomorrow (Saturday!). Everything is kind of messed up right now because now they will have to re-schedule a flight from Sydney -> Albury.

I hope things get sorted out soon and I will keep everyone posted.
