Hey LJ, I've been up to a lot of stuff lately, which I should have blogged about far more. But the moment has passed, so I'm going to just list some of the shit I've been up to the last few weeks :-)

OK. I went to a first birthday party for a couple of twin boys, at which there was at least eleven children, most of whom were under one. Deb and I played a game of "who can find the youngest baby". I found one who was five weeks old, Deb found one which was three and half weeks! My suggestion that we race all the babies was largely poo-pooed.

I slept at the Alfred Hospital, covered in wires. They had to shave areas on my legs, which went rather well with the larger shaved area around my new tattoo. Which they all appreciated.

One morning this week, I was commuting. Well, every week day in fact, that's not news. I have to head into the city, get off the train at Melbourne Central (which I sometimes still call Museum), cross over to the front of RMIT and catch a tram down Swanston Street and then down St. Kilda Road. I was on the corner in front of the library, heading over the road to the north side, when I looked up at the cyclists coming down Swanston Street. My brain went, in the space of about two seconds: "Look, that cyclist has ears on her helmet and is brightly dressed. Wait, that'd Deb! Better yell something!" So I yelled, predictably, "Deb!" She pulled over on the the corner of La Trobe Street, and we had a quick smooch. Which must have amused the passers by no end, especially since I was in black shoes, black pants, black shirt and black jacket, and Deb tends to wear most of the colors under the sun on a given day. It was ace to bump into her, made my day.

Ah, that's enough for this entry. I also just spent nearly three hours roasting a huge chook, which was frozen solid when I started, hence the length of time in the hot box!

Egad, I'm tired.

This entry will be fragmentary at best.

I might have downloaded Songs for Drella by Lou Reed and John Cale. However, I have bought this album twice before - once on tape, once on clear limited edition vinyl (which will tell you how long ago it was) - so I feel my conscience is clear :-)

My point: it's a really great album. I haven't listened to it since the early nineties. Man, I'm having a kind of nostalgia!!!

This bubble gum refuses to achieve a consistency suitable for blowing bubbles.

At least three people lately have asked me "where I'm from". People think I'm English (or something) all the time. Damn it, I've probably been out of Melbourne for a total of six months in my entire life. Which is probably a good reason to go overseas...

Speaking of which, my Sister is off to Kabul again. If I'm on my way to London in the middle of next year and she's there, we're going to try and meet up in Dubai!

Drove from Preston (was looking at a house to rent) to Altona today. Folks, that's a fuck of a long way. Look it up on a map somewhere. I think I skirted two thirds of the north and west of Melbourne.

Visited an empty house today - looking to move for Economic reasons, mainly. It was ok, but a bit pokey and waaaaay too far north. As Barbara said "we can afford better than this". So I commend the house to the poor La Trobe Uni students for which it was intended :-)

Ok, the last couple of random segues in this entry. Last night, I was wandered off to have a drink in a bar with Barbara. Jess Latimer called while we were wandering up Bourke Street, telling me she'd had the worse week ever. We ended up in that pub in the old Mint building, eating sausages from their Friday barbecue. Yum. Apparently Jess had had the worst week - worse even that when someone burnt down their house!!!

Had brunch with [livejournal.com profile] evildoom_bunny today. She came over to grad more of her stuff from the Flat, although there's not a whole lot left here. Went to a Cafe we'd never been to before, and which I'll head back to, despite the fact that I can't remember it's name!

And... I'm almost at the bottom of one of my inboxes. Yay. Only four to go.
