I know I&#8217;m wimpy, and I know that all of you who&#8217;ve just had 3 inches of snow (sorry, Chicago) already hate me quite a bit, but I&#8217;ve got to tell you I&#8217;m freezing to death.  Remember how in the summers in Chicago I whinge constantly about the heat and the humidity and long for autumn?  Granted, I&#8217;m not as bad as <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nocommercialpotential.net\" title=\"Mr. Stroppy Bitch himself\">Phineas<\/a>, what with his annual plea for air tickets to Iceland or a brick to the head, but I never thought I&#8217;d actually get to the point where 90 (that&#8217;s 32 for you Celcius folk) in the shade would be an acceptable temperature for me.  Nonetheless, now that I&#8217;m here in Melbourne, after some 4 and a half months in tropical climes, 20 (that&#8217;s about 68 for you Fahrenheiters) degree weather makes me want a parka and mittens.  Seriously.  I don&#8217;t know what I&#8217;m going to do in New Zealand.  I can just see myself now, huddled in my sleeping bag in a tent up on a mountain somewhere, wearing every single piece of clothing in my backpack.  <\/p>\n<p>On a slightly less inflammatory note, there is a news flash: much as I don&#8217;t like jinxing these things with premature announcements, I&#8217;m going to go ahead and tempt fate.  There is a chance that in the next six months or so I&#8217;ll be moving to Sydney.  For now, let&#8217;s just say I&#8217;ve met a very interesting person who&#8217;s got some very interesting projects to work on (many thanks to Eric for the introduction!).
