Yay for Interwebs

Yay, I have returned from the internet-less abyss that was Cairns.  My NYE was orrite - I spent it alone watching TV, packing my stuff and listening to the fireworks from my air-conditioned apartment.  I didn't go out to the beach to see them.  It's not like I haven't seen fireworks before!  NYE comes around every year so I can always watch them the next time.  Why do people make a big deal about spending NYE alone?  I'd rather do that than be squashed within the drunken hoards and get a shite view of fireworks.
