it has been entirely too long

It's been a while since i last posted.

basically the noteworthy things that have happened include, most importantly, my trip to Canberra!

Canberra's the Australian national capital. It really was a great time, even though my second day was overshadowed by a migraine...

we visited:
Parliament House (amazing building... and we got human pyramid pictures on the roof)
British High Commission (great guy, some good discussion, and free tea and biscuits)
Indonesian Embassy (I think a few of us offended the guy with some very pointed questions... but hey, we were told to do our research)
Canberra City YHA (youth hostel... where we stayed... great times - playing games in the pool... rounds of poker... and a little apples to apples)
Old Parliament House (exactly what it sounds like... with the Aborigional Tent Embassy right across the street... that was an amazing experience)
National Portrait Gallery (new gallery, with portraits of australians, by australians, for australians (or at least one of the above))
National Museum (one of the best museums i've been to in a while... and there was a wedding outside while we were there)
National Gallery of Australia ($20Million Jackson Pollock - one foot away from me)
Australian War Memorial (one of the most beautiful, heartwrenching, and haunting experiences of my life)

yup... good weekend.

and i got to lead the contemporary worship songs and accompany the songsters on sunday.

yesterday i lead the Wesley Choir again and i definetly had a case of (hilarious) foot-in-mouth... you should ask me about it.

alright, i'm off!
