I Love You, Australia

//////
Australia's brought us all sorts of wonderful things over the years - pirates, beer, beefcake, wrestling with crocodiles... um, beer - but never anything so personally fulfilling to me personally (personally!) as me finally, after all these years, owning a copy of Paperhouse on DVD. (for something about my Paperhouse obsession, see here)

Since I never knew when they'd release the film stateside, I turned to EBay, that rascally good-luck charm of the disillusioned, and sure enough some kind-hearted bloke/Sheila was selling a copy, and it arrived today and I'm giddy just holding it in my hands.

So thank you, Australia! Right here is where the bloody hell I am, filled with Aussie-love. I just might go touch some LAAAAVAH WEEEETH A STEEEK (personal in-joke, sorry) in thanks.


PS- to any actual Aussies reading this
(Hi, Glenn!),

please get don't be offended.
Kidding!
Love ya, for reals!

But according to it's IMDb page, the movie is British!

But, go Australia anyway. We rock!

(lol, 'where the bloody hell are you' is funny, non?)

Yeah, it's a British movie, but for some reason it was easier to get a copy from y'all than from there. Just one of the reasons YOU ROCK.
