My brother is moving in with me! I bet he's a damn sight tidier than my current housemate too.

Back to work

Yes I am actually very pleased to be back at work. Sure, it's not always fun and at times is downright tedious, but it sure beats watching Oprah! And of course I am very excited at the prospect of money coming in again. Plus, at work I can surf the net so I get to read about all kinds of random things like what kind of innoculations you should get for a trip to India. Hmm, why would I need to know that? Because I am going there! For two whole weeks in April I will be cruising around beaches near Goa on the Western coast. Planning to train it down from Mumbai and save heaps of money by sleeping on the beach. No, I am just kidding on that one. But it IS going to be hella cheap.

Tonight I am going to dust off my passport :)

The Piano

I read the book The Piano yesterday and I was a bit suprised by its lightheartedness. I have never seen the film, but obviously have heard of it, and seen bits and pieces when it won some award or other and it always struck me as a dark and gloomy piece. But the book's quite amusing really. Might have to borrow the film and watch the whole thing, maybe they only showed the nasty bits in the previews.

Ohno, only one more week of holidays left!

Happy New Year!

I hope everyone welcomed in the new year in an enjoyable manner! I certainly did; I was asleep :) I was planning on going out, got all frocked up, went into town, but just didn't feel in the mood for it all so came home again and had a really great night's sleep. Sounds pretty boring I know, but when you're not in the mood to be surrounded by hundreds of really drunk people you don't know there's no point forcing the issue. And it was a wise decision in the end because I haven't had a good sleep in ages. They say that your year starts as it will continue which means I will be comatose for most of 2008 I guess. That's OK with me!



I spent the last day of 2007 at the pool with MM who gave me a very thoughtful present; 30 free passes to the pool! That means I can now go swimming whenever I want, even when I'm poor :) And apparently I get to pick out some new bathers too. Heheeee. We spent a lot of time in the baby pool which is heaps more fun than the other pools because you can get your legs wet, but keep your top dry so you never get too cold or too hot. I think I am the only person in Adelaide who found a way to be cold on a 42 degree day.



Oh yes. New Year resolutions...

1. Get my bicycle serviced (I know this is more like a to-do list item, but if I don't put it on here it may never get done)


2. Complete another uni assignment more than 2 hours before the due date


3. Stop making plans for the future that include people over whom I have no control (everyone, in other words)


4. Be nicer (quite broad I know, but this area needs a lot of work apparently)


5. Volunteer work

By no means an exhaustive list of things about myself that need looking at - but, hopefully, I have quite a few years left to cover the rest. No point doing all the work in the first few years of my life - what would I have to do in my old age?
