So it's official!
In the beginning, everyone was a little bit suspicious. Roger Carr doubted the sincerity of the whole New York Experience, my parents doubted my ability to commit to such a lofty goal and often doubted the security of acting as a profession (what they didn't count on was my understanding of such a sad sad truth). In moments of self doubt I questioned my abilities as a young lad taking out a massive line of credit to pursue some hair-brained scheme.
Now, after months and months of planning, preparation, auditions and money earning the only person I need to convince is the big bad scary border guard. All my papers are in and accepted. My final payments (of $19,500) are due, and all I need to do now is pack, alert my landlord of my immediate arrival, and fly away. Packing is going to be the fun part: Giordana and I are toying with the idea of packing our entire lives into airplane luggage. Or at least enough of our lives to allow us to survive for a couple weeks before our folks can DHL the rest of our stuff to us.
At this point in the game, reality is biting me right in the ass. It kind of clicked recently that I may very well never be living at home with my parents again. And that, family and friends, is a scary thought.

Hey. I'm back. I was just staring at a jar of Vegemite my fiancee Jo left me when she left for Australia a few weeks ago. Her luggage weighed too much at the airport and she hat to ditch it along with a bunch of shoes. Any advice on what to do with it?
M-
If you can help me figure out something decent, I'll post about it.
Spread it thinly on toasted and buttered bread. MMMMMMMMmmmmmmm. It is also good on rbead with white cheddar cheese.
and by rbead, I meant bread.
