Can't think of title, panics, eats pen
We went to Geelong on the weekend, to visit various people, but they were all not home. All of them! We went to see Batman Begins instead, which was an enjoyable movie. We also took Janey's Pop to dinner, because there wasn't much around to cook. I picked a restaurant at semi-random: "Bazils Too". The name sounded dodgy but it's in a nice area and we weren't trying to go upmarket. Anyway it worked out, quite a nice cafe-feeling dealy serving "French Mediterranean" cuisine. Apparently there are kangaroos in France, because they served kangaroo!

I had peppered lamb cutlets with eggplant and couscous and yogHOURT. I've always thought people just made couscous because it sounds vaguely exotic, but hey actually this time it tasted pretty good. Janey had salmon and Pop had the kangaroo.

BONUS AUSTRALIA FACT: A "Cus-cus" is a marsupial found in tropical rainforests in Australia and New Guinea. It's sometimes spelled "Cous-cous", which might lead to some confusion!

Today's Australia fact was brought to you by Bonzer Bloody Beef Bits. "Good on yer Australia, yer a bloody ripper."

When we got home yesterday we went to Southland which has the dumbest carpark EVER. From my obviously vast experience of shopping centre car parks. It had a big supermarket but the amount of time it takes to find a park and then get to the store and then walk around it and then bring a trolley back... it ain't even WURF it.

Geelong joins Wauwatosa and Chicken in my list of "places with wacky names that people probably haven't heard of."

One of the teams in the CoT football thread is the Geelong Cats.
I can assure you we have much stranger names than that. Like Dumbleyung, Indooropilly, Murrumbidgee and Coolangatta to name a few.

They're my team, if I remember right. Damn... I should try to find that thread again to see how they're doing.
