Not for me! Tonight my sister and I went on a little excursion down to my (kind of ex-) employer, Computers Now at Chadstone to pick up a brand-spanking new aluminium 20″ iMac.

I’ve read his book, The Audacity of Hope, and tracked his progress in the primaries for the last few weeks. I figured it was time to put my money where my mouth is: so I bought an Obama hoodie. Cool, eh?

Michael Clarke, the newly crowned “all-rounder” (seriously, what a joke!), has given Australia an incredible victory in the cricket this evening, and I just wanted to celebrate with a blog post.
