24.11.2007 Saturday - Federal Election Day, Australia

After eleven years of John Howard's primeministership, Australia got a Labor government, lead by one Kevin Rudd, who incidentally was elected from the electoral district where I'm living. I didn't get a chance to vote (or not to vote) for Kevin, though, as my electoral enrolment address proved to be outdated despite my earlier attempt to change it. To make sure this would not happen again, I also submitted a new electoral enrolment form. The form had some quite tempting paragraphs, but I ended up not drawing the building, the flagstaff, the local supermarket and Spot's doghouse onto it.

21.11.2007 Wednesday - Riverstage, Botanic Gardens, Brisbane

Muse rocks like a moose by the Brisbane River. The pieces are perfected and the light show is spectacular, while the jam sessions performed after each and every song are something that only a band of this caliber could pull through.

15.11.2007 Thursday - University of Queensland, Brisbane

After a number of years, much procrastination, and some sweat as well, itsy bitsy teeny weeny bands appeared on a gel in those locations where I had predicted them. I'm happy for the moment.

6.11.2007 Tuesday - Melbourne Cup Day, University of Queensland

It's Melbourne Cup day again, and sparkling wine flows down the streets (from left in the photo: Satu, Giulia, Marjan, Emmanuelle and Karin). The only disappointment today is that the strong winner candidate, Miss Finland, doesn't make it to the race.
