Yesterday I got to catch up with a great friend of mine from high school

Fiona now lives here in New Zealand and runs a very successful novelty cookies & cake company

She made these hip Simpson cookies on a stick, for Macaroni & Magoo

That I’m not sure if I’m allowed to take these back into the U.S.

So I should probably eat them, just to be on the safe side

She also brought this with her

A cake of ME – that she made from scratch, less than an hour before she came to meet me

I’m like, dude – that shit would take me all day to make

WITH a packet mix

4 glasses of wine

And it STILL wouldn’t be edible

She said the chocolate cake filling is low fat

But the icing will get you a year stint at Jenny Craig

Bet you’ll never guess what I’m having for brekky?

If you live in the Tauranga area,  and you like delicious homemade yummies – go to Funky Cookies & Cakes

(She also couriers her fabbo treats anywhere in the North Island of NZ)

I have been sent the link to this video no less than 9 times over the last few days

Apparently, this chick reminds you all of me

Personally, I couldn’t be more flattered

Allow me to introduce you to

My sista from anutha mista

It’s taken me a while to get on the Adele band wagon

But by God, if this girl doesn’t ooze talent

She’s been the soundtrack to every flight so far this tour

The real deal indeed

At the airport, waiting to board the first of 3 flights

That will eventually drop me sometime Monday-ish

And hopefully my guitar for a fucking change

In Darwin

I have my travel pillow

Fully charged iPod

Snacks

A few glasses of red under my belt

And high hopes for a longer-than-long-wake-up-with-crusty-eyes-and-dribble-on-my-face sleep

Plan B – sleeping tablets

And a free punch in the face for any screaming kids
