august

The weather is definitely starting to turn.... only two of the last 10 days have been miserable... blue sky's and sunshine abounds :) Bring on summer.

It was Nigel's 40th Birthday on Friday. Happy Birthday Nigel! Hope you had a good one.

Went to Alice's jewelry exhibition the other night, and saw Jaan play with Cookie Baker tonight, gee they're a creative couple. What else have I been upto? Communist Party at Chris's house a little while back... some pretty interesting costumes there; I never knew Danish people or Santa Claus were commies.

Once the weather has become a little nicer we're gonna have a bit of a house party... in the meantime I've got to work on my ping pong and foosball skills so i can kick everyone's arse. Have started decorating my room, need to take some more photos to stick up on the wall.

Life's been pretty good of late. It's amazing how much surroundings effect state of mind. Have been spending more time at home than I ever could have imagined...it's a great place to not spend money which suits me well, and it's also just fantastic to chill, which also suits me well.

Went to Flinders Uni the other day to find out more on the Grad Dip Psychology. It sounds great and I would most likely get in with no problems...only thing is it's a full fee-paying course. Have so far avoided finding out exactly how much these fees are, but probably should very soon! I'm also planning to find out if I can take part in a research program on Early Intervention for children with Autism Spectrum Disorders... its probably best I mention it on here and people can chase me up on it in case I never get around to it :)

That's enough from me for now. Very bland and unemotional post, but it's 2.30am and i'm tired and grumpy with a cold so you'll just have to put up with it.

What I'm listening to at the moment: Bob Dylan, Blood on the Tracks.
He's a strange, strange man. Amazing poet. Genius? I dunno...

fresh faces

Well I've moved house again. I'm starting to wonder if I have house commitment problems as this is my eighth house in 3 years! That said I know this one will be different... I looked hard for a house that I could afford, had friendly and stable housemates, was in a great location and was clean and stylish. The result: my new house in North Adelaide! The housemates are great...relaxed and friendly... that's them above... (left to right) George, Eric, Claire and Damien. They house is great... big old bluestone cottage looking onto the Parklands, massive 'family area', foosball table, ping pong, darts and a backyard that I think will be fantastic for BBQs once it gets a little warmer.

What I'm listening to at the moment: Real Love by Regina Spektor, for the Amnesty Internation CD 'Make Some Noise; Save Darfur'.
