I was down at Circular Quay yesterday with Torbin and Judy (friends of my mother's) and I heard someone playing the
Super Mario Bros. theme on a tuba. It reminded me of my friend Tyler who is a sound designer for EA. On
our sojourn through the botanical gardens, we ran into a guy who works for Condi Rice, who was apparently down
here at the time.
There were helicopters buzzing about like mad all day. Torbin and Judy opined that they were there to offer protection to
the sec-state. After her time in Sydney, she went down to Melbourne to watch the commonwealth games. I watched a little
of the games on the TV. England and Scotland compete separately for these games, and Australia dominates the swimming
and the bicycling.
I took a number of pictures of the opera house when I wasn't being rudely shooed away by foreign tourists with their
own, apparently more important, cameras:
