I'm Back, Baby!!

As is tradition, I obviously had to add a picture for my quoted  post title. "My receipts!!"

Well, looks like I'll be posting dribble for at least a while longer (and there was much rejoicing), this time from the northern hemisphere; So long southern cross (how the hell am I supposed to navigate at night now? Sure sure, I could use a sextant but unfortunately in America that instrument has been banned due to the religious right and a semantic misunderstanding).

Anywho, since we last left our wandering vegemite fiend, he was slowly dying on his way across the pacific. Good news, I survived. I dehydratedly (Webster's jump on that) made it back to the DC area and quickly realized again that it indeed used to be a swamp and is still sweat-spurtingly humid. Complaining aside, it was good to be back on US soil where I'm free to eat my weight in french fries (which is actually an endless loop...think about it) and pay a lot of money for medical procedures (thanks a lot, Obama). ADD. More good news: I found some vegemite. It was a daunting task and took several weeks; many good men lost their lives but I now have a small 200g jar of vegemite that might just last me till I make it California or Californee as us locals call it. Turns out vegemite is the equivalent of beer in Australia with respect to the fact that it is exuberantly expensive (I suppose they have to cover the overhead costs of importing it and having only 8 people in the states actually use the stuff, sorry correction, 9 people - almost forgot to count myself). ADD. Most of my free time has been spent dehydrately playing tennis, reading some, beachin', attempting to get my life together, and [other].

There have been hints that the real Mark is still in Australia  as my appearance may have changed slightly since before I left, but to everyone (my sister) I assure you, I'm Marc Davis (there's no way another patient from the Hobart hospital stole the real Mark Davis' wallet and decided to masquerade as him back to states to escape imprisonment, that only happens in movies).....Joke's on him; enjoy my debt.

Vegemite and tangents aside, I have about 10 days left on the lovely right coast after which time I begin " Mega Roadtrip IV: The Wrath on Khan...tinental USA". My buddy Corey and I are setting out on a epic journey from Maryland to California, pardon me, Californee via several northern US States. More about this to come in future blogettes. Please see the video below for a scene from "Mega Roadtrip 2: No speedlimit is fast enough to get out of Kansas".



And for old-time's sake, some Aussie music (ha, thought it was over, didn't you!?)...I lied, no Aussie bands just stuff I heard on Triple J (I still get it out here; oh technology what will you come up with next):

The Vaccines: If You Wanna... (turns out they are British)

And how about some American music:

Vampire Weekend - Cape Cod Kwassa Kwassa... (love this song and yes, I know it's from a while ago...and it sounds like it could be on Paul Simon's Graceland album)

***END AUSTRALIA CAMPAIGN***

Thus ends the known documentation from the Australian Campaign February 2011 through May 2011. Now begins Operation State-side Harvest 2011 aka The Fellowship of the Wine.
