Work, work...
Yes, I am working. Adam and I have been working on a vineyard for the past 2 weeks, and that's all I have to say about that. Oh, and I kissed a camel. Pictures to come.
Listen man, I know those camels SAY they have connections to your boss' boss' boss, but they're only saying that because they know you're desperate. Don't let them take advantage of you!
"Preacher tells the story of Jesse Custer, a down-and-out preacher in the small Texas town of Annville. Custer was accidentally possessed by the supernatural creature named Genesis in an incident which killed his entire congregation and flattened his church.
Genesis, the product of the unauthorized, unnatural coupling of an angel and a demon, is an infant with no sense of individual will. However, as it is composed of both pure goodness and pure evil, it might have enough power to rival that of God himself. In other words, Jesse Custer, bonded to Genesis, may have become the most powerful being in the whole of living existence.
Custer, driven by a strong sense of right and wrong, goes on a journey across the United States attempting to (literally) find God, who abandoned Heaven the moment Genesis was born. He also begins to discover the truth about his new powers, which allow him to command the obedience of those who hear his words. He is joined by his old girlfriend Tulip O'Hare, as well as a hard-drinking Irish vampire named Cassidy.
During the course of their journeys, the three encounter enemies and obstacles both sacred and profane, including: the Saint of Killers, an invincible, quick-drawing, perfect-aiming, come-lately Angel of Death answering only to "He who sits on the throne"; a serial-killer called the 'Reaver-Cleaver'; The Grail, a secret organization controlling the governments of the world and protecting the bloodline of Jesus; Herr Starr, ostensible Allfather of the Grail, a megalomaniac with a penchant for prostitutes, who wishes to use Custer for his own ends; several fallen angels; and Jesse's own redneck 'family' — particularly his nasty Cajun grandmother, her mighty bodyguard Jody, and the 'animal-loving' T.C."

I'm sorry, I just heard "vin" and "yard" together (well, I SAW it, but still).... I'm intrigued.... If you tell me the name of the vineyard, I'll buy the wine in a few years when it comes on market... (*PLAH!* What's this Christian essence that I detect on my pallate????)
Jeremy, I think you underestimate the camel presence in Australia. I'll try that link again when I get some better internet.
Scott, Preacher sounds pretty neat, what's the artwork like? I'll get the pictures up as soon as Adam finds his memory cards back.
Jason, the name of the vineyard was Shepherd's Hut, not sure if they export or not. I wasn't actually picking any grapes (that'll probably be my next job), but that essence you taste is probably Dirty Backpacker, and that's what puts Australia's wine a cut above the rest.
I don't really know how to explain it, but it reminded me of the Watchmen artwork.
Brandon and I finished Once More With Feeling, now he says it's his favorite episode, I wonder how he's going to react to the episode where Buffys in the mental place, or when Tara gets killed!
Ah! I concur with you sentiments about Aussie wine, Christian... it does have a certain "je ne sais quoi" to it.... something just a little reminiscent of hard work and dirt.
BTW! Is it too late to rename/give The Littlest Hobo a middle/surname??? You should also call her "Priscilla"! ^_^!
