In summary, went back to drinking some coffee, election uncertainty and a long time between guitar playing.
Re Coffee, no good reason there. After managing almost 3 weeks I tried a cup of tea and felt really good for having drunk one. So a few days later it was half a cup of flat white. Mostly this was brought upon by a work trip to Canberra. In Canberra coffee is drunk at ever opportunity and when one is going from meeting to meeting a cafe is the natural meeting place...
So I have drunk coffee, not necessarily back on the coffee wagon.
The election occurred without an immediate result. The counting continues with results swinging back and forth on the tiniest of margins. It's becoming apparent there is a growing divide between the city and country, especially Queensland and WA. Easy to make fun of people who don't read and hate learning, but they do vote.
Haven't had the chance to play the guitar much lately. In the evenings it wakes up CJ and first thing in the morning is the same. During the day (on the weekend) we are usually rushing about so much that it's just impractical. I'm looking forward to this Sunday arvo and a jam with my buddy.

It continues...
We'll Bubbas we are through the looking glass on this one, it's almost two weeks since I last had a coffee.
I'm over the headaches and other withdrawal symptoms. But being back at work coffee consumption is so much of a habit, 10am, 2pm, meetings with clients etc. Overall though my body seems to have adapted, I'm not snacking as much (which is good) and my afternoon alertness is about the same.
Found this article about coffee HERE a bit of fun and timely...

No Caffeine
Well my Bubbas last week I was struck down with a vicious tummy bug. How bad you ask? I lost about 5kg's, which in my book is pretty bad. However there is an upside 1) I fine and can eat again and 2) I couldn't drink coffee or tea during my recovery (just didn't like the taste). I've been without caffeine now for a week.
What I notice most of all is my level of hunger has risen. Before with the coffee (2 or 3 a day) I did not need an afternoon snack. Today I had a pie and I still managed to have room for soup, salad and eggplant lasagna for dinner. If there is a connection (coffee is rumoured to be an appetite suppressant) it is more surprising than I would have thought. I intend to keep this caffeine free period up for as long as I can. I'll report back in a weeks time...

Actually really good
I found this via the Daily What, it's a very clever (ultraviolent) short based on those games hacks one see's now and again. Tres gammer nerd chic, enjoy!

The Goon
Oh my Bubba's, as you are all well aware I am a sucker for a good trailer. And each good trailer I recommend does not necessarily translate to a good movie.
However, this time I know it's going to be awesome;
1. Clancy Brown
2. Paul Giamatti
3. It's a violent cartoon
4. With zombies
and the clincher
5. Any movie that plays Southern Culture on the Skids "White Trash" is a stone cold oscar winner.
