It's strange how I keep reading the news online even though I now have access to physical copies of the local newspaper. It's so much easier - click here, click there.. I really hate the dirty black fingertips that come with reading the newspapers. Reading papers online is cleaner and so much more interactive. For some reason.

Anyway, I know the Bali blasts are on everyone's lips now but it's still really sickening. It's really hit home this time. I mean, to know about the hundreds of Australian lives affected, is just overwhelming. To hear about footy players killed and injured is devastating. It's so close... when they talk about AFL players, I actually know what they're talking about. When they reported on emotional scenes at the Perth and Sydney airports, I had mental pictures. Having been to both airports, I could see the scenes that took place. The Perth International Airport - so close to home. Been there gazillion times. It's just absolutely sickening. It sickens me that my mates have been attacked. I sure hope they never take away what makes Australia, Australia - mateship.
