For all y'all who read this and have not heard the news, I am heading to Australia come May. Eric and I have been planning to leave our great apartment this year, and this is how the cards have fallen. He is getting hitched and I'm going on an epic walkabout.

I really can't make much fun of Eric and his new fiancé status because I am going on this crazy trip for this girl, Christy. She is down there for a few months getting here MFA in painting, and I thought it would be fun to hang out there for a while. Maybe do some self-education, freelance, and perhaps some crocodile wrestling. Maybe I can pick up a couple of Australia's amazingly deadly snakes they have.

Here is the obligatory cute couple picture. Of course, I look like a fool here, but it's the only one I can find this morning.

So yeah. 2006 is going to be a big year.
