Cook Islands television. I knew that we could not always have the glorious Miss Tahiti contest televised every night, but the pickings are slim. Looks like Friends is on tonight instead. Maybe I need to go back to reading Biggles? It's a pretty gripping point in the story. Will he manage to evade the Germans this time? What is that rascal Von Stahlein up to? At any rate, the computer is about to overheat so I better chisel myself away from the internet.
Oh sweet internet.
Man, I'm one of those sucky tourists who just sits in the hotel and does nothing to immerse themselves in local culture. Pretty much like most of the other tourists here. Never mind, maybe tomorrow I will start the ultra consumer binge. Any requests?

Harry Potter and the ultimate overexposure
Just to prove I don't live in a vacuum, I will make reference to the current big news. Will anyone read blogs? Does anyone actually even read this blog? (you are none of you commenting much, you sylvan creatures).
Maybe in a couple of days I will post spoilers about the Harry Potter book, but I would have to read it, and the penultimate one in order to do so, unless of course I made it all up. And frankly, I am a bit sick of the whole thing. I hope Harry does get killed off, J.K. Rowling does not write any similar novels, and Stephen King is not allowed anywhere near the Harry Potter character. Actually, I hope someone chops Stephen King's hands off, and cuts out his tongue. This would make it impossible for him to write, but possible to read bad reviews and hear negative assessments of his work. Every day he will suffer as little children scream in horror when they see him in all his ugliness. Hang on, they probably do already.
Anyway, I don't know if I have the intestinal fortitude to read the last two Potter books, particularly when I have found a Biggles novel I have not yet read. It is called Biggles in Australia, and has a picture of an aborigne on the front. I wonder if Biggles is hunting him?
