Well tonight I hit Melbourne airport to fly to Tasmania to see my friend Max. Apparently there is snow and this will make for a nice contrast with my trip which is barely a week away to BALI!!!!
Max and I are going to see Cradle Mountain covered in snow, probably while stepping over the corpses of drowned animals after the flood. Yep, she lives in La Trobe:

I feel like one of those disaster tourists.
If you do feel the urge to experience a disaster for entertainment purposes yet feel a sense of lingering dignity that stops you from going to gawk at the suffering of others? Perhaps you might enjoy:
Bespoke Disasters: http://www.disastertourism.co.uk/mydisasters.html
It's like Fantasy Island for masochists.
... actually, now that I think of it, all episodes of Fantasy Island are for masochists.
It's now that I pause to reflect on the improved status little people have on TV in the 21st Century. The sense of comic gravitas Peter Dinklage brings to his GoT role has surely broadened the audience expectations of actors of small physical stature since 1978.
Hmmm... maybe not.
