quicko: town hall

So after over four years of living Sydney I finally managed to make it inside one of the major sites of the city:  Town Hall.  Usually I'm muttering unpleasant nothings about Town Hall, but that's only because I'm thinking of the train station and that is a generally repugnant topic.  Today, though, I'm talking about the actual Town Hall.

It turns out it's not particularly amazing inside, but it is moderately cool.  (Reverse Garbage is a tough act to follow.)  It's not really all that big, though I there was a conference on in the big main room so I only got to peer in through the side doors at it and couldn't take pictures.  I took pictures of what I could, though.

All in all, I'm glad I went.  Better late than never, hey?

quicko: the QVB

The Queen Victoria Building.  Icon of Sydney.  Not so famous as the Opera House, but it's been here way longer.  Currently under a bit of scaffolding, presumably for renovation, but still quite impressive.  A building that no doubt holds many secrets.

I also could have sworn I had a better picture of it.  Evidently not.

Finally, my phone's predictive text absolutely refuses to predict it.  Every other three letter combination it can handle, but it's my opinion that the lack of vowel throws it entirely and sends it into a rampage.  So catastrophically so that it starts predicting four and five letter words instead -- anything, anything, but at least give it a vowel, it cries.  So I give up and put a space between each letter.

Kim v. pink cell phone, who has won?  I was going to say I'd let you be the judge, but I don't like where that might be heading.  KIM has won, end of story!
