Hey everyone again.

My boss hasn't been too generous with hours at the bar that I was previously at. So I got another job at another bar. Its a bit nicer. I have a few new room mates. A couple (guy is British, girl is Belgian) and a British girl. The Irish couple left on a road trip up the coast. Thats it for now. And you thought my life was all excitement and glamour? Ha!

Happy Birthday to Me.

Hey everyone.

Just celebrated the big 2-4 over the weekend. It all started on Saturday when two of my room mates and I went on a boat cruise around Sydney Harbour. Complete with dinner, drinks, and entertainment of the naked sort. Male strippers to be presise. Pretty compelling. This is my Italian room mate, Emanuella, buried in this man's chest>

After we docked, we went to a few bars. The first being 'Loft'. It was packed. It took like 30 minutes to get a Gin and tonic. This is my british room mate, Antonia, and I at Loft. IMGP1292.jpg

After Loft, we headed to PJ OBrians to meet up with our Irish room mates. We waited in line for what seemed like forever and only stayed long enough for one drink and a picture.

The girl on my left is Edwina, my Irish room mate. Antonia is next to her. Edwina's boyfriend was there too, he took the picture.

After PJ O'Brians, we headed to Retro. It was pretty nice and not nearly as crouded. I found somebody's lost cocaine. Fortunatly, I don't touch the stuff myself.

On our way to Scruffy's, andother bar, had a little excitement. We were just walking along, minding our own business, and we suddenly witness what looked to be the tail end of a police chase. One car was going really fast, then an undercover police car came right infront of it. Then like 20 cops all seemed to come out of nowhere and pull the people out of the car. I'm not sure what really happened. But it was pretty exciting.

We then went to Scruffy's. A bar that is really popular with travellers. We stayed there for a little while then headed home.

On sunday, Emanuella, Antonia and I went to Tamarama Beach. The weather was really warm, about 34*C, but the water was FREEZING! About 14*C. But it was really nice to have a birthday WITHOUT 30cm of snow on the ground.

Until next time

I got a new tattoo.

Its the Commenwealth Star and Southern Cross. Its the constellation that is on the Australian flag. To commemorate my time down under.

In other news, I'm having communication issues with my boss. I can't seem to get through on his phone. I hate it when someone says that they're going to call you. People always seem to forget and then I have to call them. Then they're number is whack and I can't get through!

Talk to you later.

Not much going on lately

I've been laying low for the past few weeks. Hence the lack of updates. I just got a job at a bar about 20 minutes from downtown. I start Friday. I may or may not go on a boat cruise the next Saturday. If I'm working, no. If not, yes. I hope to spend a few days in Melbourne or Brisbane in the next month.

I did this thing where you upload a picture of yourself and it tells you if you resemble any celebrities. I never would have guessed that I look anything like the ones it listed.

Anyway, tootles.

My new bachelorette pad.

Hey everyone. I've now moved in and settled in my new apartment. Its a pretty sweet place. I went to the gym this morning (it has a gym in the building). It felt sooooo good. I felt like a beached whale before. I hadn't worked out since leaving home. Most of my room mates are Irish. It can be hard to understand what they're saying at times, but they're all pretty nice people. And another one is British. She's pretty cool too. I don't forsee any major clashes happening in the near future. I saw the Blood Diamond yesterday. When I was in Europe, I realized that I have a weakness for South African accents.

This is from my bedroom balcony,
