| Maybe it’s because I haven’t had any coffee since Saturday | September 3, 2008 | On a recovery day from the weekend virus and rehearsal last night, I just finished watching Senator Kim Carr at the National Press Club.

| 4000 and counting | August 29, 2008 | I’ve managed to pass 4000 words on my paper.
