Every morning is the same

Well here we are. I guess there are more people reading this than I thought. Hello to you.
Today is the 9th day of my Australian adventure. The internet is slow because I downloaded too much I think. Oops.

I got my room set up and unpacked and such. It's nice. I love Ikea. For around $100 I got...
2 big blue bags to hold stuff, 3 dish towels, a trashcan, 10 nice big hangers, sheets, a duvet, a blanket, a shower curtain, a closet organizer, and...chocolate bars. The last thing I need is a bedside table. I NEED one for some reason. I don't like all this crap just on the floor next to my bed.

I bid on a BCD2000, which is a midi controller for my computer. Basically something that can emulate turntables/cd players with a mixer on my computer so I don't have to re-buy all that stuff if I want to DJ. And speaking of DJ'ing, the Esplanade hotel has a bunch of shows and are always looking for DJs (so says their website) AND is right around the corner. Maybe I can give it a go once I get some equipment. That'd be nice.

I'm a nerd and posted a missed connection for a cute redhead girl that works at the Lush store in the city. Woooooah she's hot.

We went out to indian food last night, it was great, and relatively cheap. It was my housemates birthday party. It was a surprise party with about 14 people and I got to make a toast. "I've known you for 3 days, happy birthday. Thank you, and our other housemates for letting me rent the room and for letting Joan stay with us. I hope to see the rest of you again soon" because you're all girls and you're all cute.

I don't know what to do with myself. I think I will go look for a job next week. Follow up on Missing Link records...I gave them my information and they probably just trashed it. There are 2 other record stores within spitting distance of my house. One that seems to specialize in funk and soul, how cool. There are also tons of little boutiques, so I will probably apply to just be a retail bitch somewhere. It will be fine for a 6 month stay, and if it's close to my house that'd be a super added bonus!

Other new stuff...
Liquor prices are absurd...well, yeah. If you come visit, be prepared to drop some cash on duty free liquor for Joan and I. Not even kidding. A small bottle of gin...the cheapest is $25. Whaaaaat?! Anyways, wine is cheap, but I hate drinking wine all the time.

Next door they are starting construction. Hah.

My housemates are...not clean. But not terribly dirty. Just sorta comfortable being a little dirty, which I guess is better than being a clean freak. But I am bothered by it a bit. I will just have to clean stuff secretly.

I need a space heater too. None of the bedrooms in our house have heat. Well...they do, but the heating vents don't work like they do in other rooms of the house. Elsewhere it gets quite hot, in the rooms, it's coooolllllllld.

I will start writing letters today I do believe, so if you're expecting one, there should be one for you soon. It costs me $2 to send it to you though, so love and cherish it.

I've woken up every morning in the past 4 thinking consistently about Stacey.


In this room with a view
and so much of you
is so far from here

I'm deep inside myself
But I'll get out somehow

Thanks Mojave 3 and Neil Young.
