yes.. yes all of you.. i’m lost without all of you around.. the electrons and the bytes still dictate my existence…

I haven’t read what everybody else has written, so i’m going to give my own rundown on the events that shaped the past 4/5/? days…

- Arrived on Thursday and after scaring a few of the passengers whilst being secretly jealous that they were going to the Jewel concert without me I met up with Eve at the train station.

We slipped into comfortable mode really quickly and it was good just to get some zone-out time both in the pool and around the house. Not much occurred other than some food, some alcohol (hmm, beer) and aforementioned swimming. In-in-all a good night.

Friday

- Shopping day. Now I must stress here first and foremost the serious kudos that is to Eve’s best friend Sarah. As readers may know, our first interaction was b no means on the best of terms, but from her entry in the door (of her apartment) to all the generosities she has shown me, i’m grateful, moved and in slight awe. I always understood why she protected Eve in the way she did, but was never quite sure if things would ever be OK with us. Appears that they’ll be just fine.

Did the shopping thing. I bought what I was told and came home with some change out of $1,000 … nice…. Everything I thought i’d never buy I did, and it started the first stage of me being a permanent whore to the clothing and accessories industry.

Also picked up the keys for the Manly apartment and reveled in the gorgeousness that is Air Conditioning.

Friday night was spent out at Coogee beach with the always-attractive Caraxus. Verdict: A very funny and talented Sydney-boy who I will inevitably spend many nights of drinking and debauchery with. And his significant other has a fantastic rack :).

Saturday

ed: Neither Eve nor myself can remember what we did on Saturday morning.. collective memory of a gnat folks….

(Of course) I do however remember that I went to the beach and got photos of both Eve and Rach. I am possibly the luckiest man in the world at this point in time.

Oh yeah, and we had Oportos for lunch… it’s like Nandos….. but not as good
Stayed at Manly on Saturday night, slept in.

Sunday

Kickass breakfast .. dribble… you know the stop-your-heart-and-destroy-your-immune-system complete breakfast that makes you keel over in pain from the fat content alone.. uhhuh.. one of those…. oh yes
Also caught up with some culture, saw the Art Gallery and trailed through some of the parks that this fine city has to offer. Missed out on the Tropfest, but was simply too tired to keep myself awake any longer.

Caugh up with an old uni friend, but was too tired to be decent company and slept.

Monday

- Centrepoint tower.. Stressed for the first ten minutes, then the Vertigo-fear disappeared and I was lounging all over the glass walls enjoying the view. I’m thinking i’ll have the same kind of fear when I climb the Sydney Harbour Bridge, but i’m looking forward to it nonetheless.

- Walking tour of the city. Inspired by some of the items discussed with the tour guides, I set out to absorb a little of the city in my wake and warm to these new clothes/shoes/accessories/lack of phone setup that i’ve had going for the past few days.

Tuesday

- Lunch with some of the work kids and writing on this blog :). Tonight i’m off to see my man Mario (another uni mate who I can be childish around) and an overnight stay in the middle of b-f Idaho before returning tomorrow.

Rest of the week

- Australia’s Wonderland (heard they’re shutting it down so I want to get out there)
- Monorail journey
- Taronga Park Zoo (?)
- $5 steaks and cheap beer with Caraxus and Co at the Lansdowne Tavern
- Museum
- Ferris Buellers Day off (yay for my birthday!) …. muchos alcohol to be consumed on this day let me tell you - Sydney Harbour Bridge climb…
