Original Commentary

Yes, as you can tell... Brisbane is getting really, really bored just hanging around the apartment... we all get a little bit of cabin fever on those weekends where you have a little too much time and not enough to do (although admittedly, it's been about six years since I've personally had a day like that... but I have memories of those days, at the least).

I bet it's humid over in Hippedown... don't ask me how you can tell, I just get this feeling that it's really humid out- one of the reasons they are not going out. - Isabel

Modern Commentary
You can get a coffee maker for $20. I didn't know that at the time. I probably resisted getting a coffeemaker, myself, because I saw the $80 ones that stores display prominently and decided that I didn't want to spend that kind of money on it.

Instead, we used a french press for a few years but washing the various filters and plates got to be a hassle. Sometimes it's easier just to buy a coffee maker.- Terrence
