Going Down Under

I've been making the final preparations for my trip to Australia tomorrow and haven't had too much going on, hence the lack of blog updates. I was unaware that I needed a tourist visa to visit Australia until yesterday, so I had to make a quick run to the Australian Embassy to get that sorted out. It was stressful but it had to be done.

Now that I'm legally allowed to stay in Australia, I went out and got a 16GB iPod touch to keep me entertained during the 29 hours of travel. The iPod touch is pretty sick, it's basically an iPhone minus the telephone feature. If I didn't have to deal with the whole cell phone contract thing I would certainly get an iPhone now that I see just how sweet that thing is.

Other than that I've just been trying to get in as many online hands and hours as possible during January, figuring that I might as well burn myself out because I'm taking 2 weeks off anyway. Results have been decent, nothing too special, tons of swings as usual. I'm hoping to get in a final 4-5k of hands today, the bills don't pay themselves :)

I'll try and post as many updates as possible once I arrive in Melbourne, stay tuned for more.
