Christmas holidays have started for me :)

I sware, the coolest shit is happening back home. By the time you read this, most of you
probably already know of the meteor shower thats happening on the 22nd in North America.
You also probably know that a solar eclipse is happening on Christmas day. The last one of
the 2nd mellenium to boot! So while everyone is experiencing the first day of Winter, I
my friends, will be basking in the Western Australia sun on the first day of Summer :).

I am still amazed at people when I show them some Canadian money, and the firs thing out of
their mouth is "Wow! You guys have the queen on it?!??". Umm of course we do, she's our
head of state! Sheesh! Apparantly for this year only, Australia is going to be removing the
Queen from their $5 note, and replacing it with a Centenary Special Edition Note (since Jan
1st, 2001 Australia will be 100 years old or something).

I am visiting my sick friend, Melanie, tomorrow. Going to bring her some chocolate and
flowers, try to cheer her up. She's a really nice chikypoo, kinda reminds me of Kristen.
Just... uhm.. more crazy :)

Tomorrow will just be filled with nothingness, well wait - let me rephrase that. Tomorrow
I am going to Mels place, then off to a Christmas party at Virginias place (so many girls,
so little time ;) ). I wont do any packing until Saturday, plus my flight doesn't leave
until late Sunday night. I guarantee you the pilot is going to make some lame ass comment
about "running into Santa Clause" on our way over (it being late Christmas Eve and such).

When I get back, I am off work until about the 8th of Janurary, then its work for 2 or
3 weeks :) (yaay). From that point on it will be either, stay here and bring money home.
Or go off to Noosa and do some skydiving. I like the latter idea a lot better :).

** Two days later **

It was so hot yesterday. So hot, infact, that the pavement was melting/boiling in some
locations. I have a photo of it, but I can't be bothered to put it up. So i'm walking to
Melanies place, in 42C heat. I probably drank about ten or twelve litres of water yesterday.
I was so hot and tired and sweaty, that I didn't really feel like going to Virginias
place for her christmas party.

I changed my mind

It was a good party, lots of new people as well. Infact I spent zero time talking with the
usual croud and mixed with the new people. I kinda wish I had more time to get to know them
better. I am feeling really wiggy lately. My trip back to Canada, to me is more of a holiday
/vacation. Sydney feels like my home now. I have gotten into a routine, I am close to my
new friends. I am going to miss this place a lot when I go back to Aurora... Don't want to
think about it.

So what did I do today? Just bummed around, I got up at 8:30! (Automatically I might add). I
just bummed on the computer. I started writing a CGI that will start storing all my journal
entries in a database. This way it will be easier for me to add entries, plus you will be
able to do a keyword search for things. It also means that everytime I update my journal
I dont have to edit 2398243270947 files. It will also allow me to do some pretty cool things.
Like attach commments to particular entires (comments readers will leave). It is also version
1 of the journal application that I will be introducing for friendsnetwork.org.

Andy and I are going out to see Verical Limit in a few hours. Don't really want to see it,
but nothing else on, and it just came out - so what the hell. I am getting some beer and
nibblies, so we will probably end up going in a little bloated and tipsy - but what better
way to see a fucking shitty movie? (other than stoned, but you all know I ain't into that
shit).

Tomorrow, packing, flying to Perth. Hope everyone has a good christmas, I will write from
Perth in a few days, with possibly some photos :)
