Well, at least its not green.

So its been an interesting week. My hair has changed colors twice and shortened in length. The first color change has been hidden in my soon-to-be-deleted social networking page of choice. The second, will never seen by anybody because as soon as it happened, I bought a hat. Until the situation is rectified, all photos in which I am featured will be taken under the protection of my new one-fit baseball cap. It is a particularly cool hat though.

For those wondering. I lost a bet. Well technically, I won a bet. But I lost. If you know what I mean. Before I got it done, the stylist asked an interesting question, 'is your hair virgin?'. I was taken aback by the question. But it makes sense now that its been completely fucked.

I was in Wisconsin for the Intercollegiate National Championships. Apparently Wisconsin is famous for beer and cheese. I indulged in a little of both. I also had a record five cheeseburgers.

The team came fourth, which is how we started the week. It was a slightly empty feeling in the makeshift locker room (which was actually a squash court, with a clear glass wall on one side) after the game. I think its because the boys felt that they had the tools to at least pick up a spot during the week.

However thats sport, and its generally a squad with a lot of promise that needs minor tweaking rather than wholesale change to get a lot done. So hopefully the boys will learn from it and go on to bigger and better things next year.

I think the lads think I'm completely ridiculous. I taught them the phrases,
'Face like a dropped pie'
'Face like a bucket of smashed crabs'
'A few kangaroos short in the top paddock'
(which they thought I made up, they also didn't know what a paddock was)

I also got a chance to catch up with a few Gliders, which was nice. Apparently my accent is very Australian. Which I think is a compliment of the highest order. So thank you ladies.

After a day of rest and recuperation I flew to LA to catch up with my family. For those who were hoping for Mexican shenanigans don't panic, I'm hoping to head down next month for a weekend of fun.

I'm looking forward to getting to the beach and unleashing the scotsman on Southern California.
