Good Aussie girls living on the other end of the world like to reconnect with home in little ways. So whether that's listening to Hamish and Andy podcasts on the subway, dancing insanely whenever Jet comes on in a Brooklyn bar, waking up at unearthly hours of the morning to watch AFL footy, or keeping The Age on our home page, we do it.
This means that at times, we get overrun by Aussie news stories that have no meaning or place in the scheme of things (did you hear the Bronx zoo found their lost cobra? And yeah, there's still stuff going down in Libya) but mean a lot to our family friends left at home, and provide opportune Facebook status discussion points.
Clarkey is the new cricket captain? Oh, really. The Gold Coast Sun debut this weekend? I wonder who's flying down to Brissie. Coles have taken up arms against the rest of the universe over their quest to own the heart, soul, blood and guts of every Aussie housewife? Okay, old news.
But this one has been clogging my RSS and Facebook feed just that little bit too much. It's something I sure as hell don't want to see now.
Aussie dollar, little battler? Up to $1.04. Projected UP TO $1.08 IN THE NEAR FUTURE.
And that's when I bang my head against the desk. Twice, for good measure.
