for some unknown reason the pile of laundry in my room has just magically doubled its height

which actually isn’t really scary until you consider that the last time i looked at it was

3 hours ago.

there must be some laundry goblin around.

what else would explain this most unnatural phenomenon?

anyway

oh,sweet adsl

okay.

one surmises that perhaps being disappointed a tad too often by customer service hotlines here in Australia has significantly lowered one’s expectations, to below threshold

such that when things do work, one is oh so pleasantly surprised!

in english, this means:

i couldn’t understand how telstra (this is Australia, free speech, people) managed to LOSE my application, give me a cold number, put me on hold for 20 minutes, and then cut me off!

and how the gas company not only got the registered name wrong, they also got the apartment unit wrong (so essentially, they switched on the gas for some totally random people)

and “your application will take 3-20 working days to process”

which..all in all..took about 5.

not bad, not bad at all.

i’m still getting used to things here

sunsets at 8 pm

freakily hot sun when the temperature is 14 degrees

flagfall ($^%&^$!!!!!)

shops that close at 5 pm

apart from the freaky things-

the view from my window is pretty nice

(i look beyond my neighbours)

and i think i’m really lucky to be in such a position that i can complain about it.

i don’t think you’ll understand that part,

but it’s okay-

i’ve never been particularly easy to understand.

MUwireless doesn’t support Vista..like…whaaaaaaat??

sometimes (a lot of times), i cannot tell the difference between what is right and wrong.

something that seems like the right thing ends up being such a pain, i wonder if it’s actually the wrong thing.

but really, i can only complain about the weather and the friggin prices here so many times, before i start to bore myself, so i’ll stop now, hahaha.

things here are…different, for want of a better….adjective.

i have yet to decide whether i like it or hate it, although i am certainly inclined to believe that i should like it, if only because i’ll be here for the next few years (barring holidays home, wheeee!!!!)…and it’s so much easier to like something (or someone) than dislike it, no?

haha.

now that bit of warped logic makes sense,even to me.

being away from home is very different for me, mainly cos i love being at home, where my nice bed and airconditioning are, where my family is (to wake me up in the morning, etc etc), and where my dogs are (who basically did nothing except create little presents for me to clean up everyday). but i love them anyway.

i miss home.

also, perhaps slightly more significantly,

i miss having my OWN TOILET, which in itself was a novel experience for me, being that i only had my OWN TOILET for one year, prior to which i was a parasite in various toilets around the house, most of which i claimed for my own anyway, haha, too BAD…

also i find that blogging in the med library (which is called brownless med library, which perplexes me since it is certainly not lacking in brown things) where it is freezing (as opposed to outside the library, where it is scorching like an oven) is making me write in long, rambly sentences, although it is arguable of course that i previously blogged in much the same manner (albeit with slightly less ramblyness.)

also.

i just wanted to say that on closer inspection, i find i am neighbours with

a) a Peugeot car outlet

b) a sexual health centre, and on the other side,

c) what i have been led to believe is a brothel.

now run free, my little minions, and let your mind go crazy with this bit of information…i eagerly anticipate any snarkyness that may so arise, Lord only knows i’ve done my fair share, haha.

ooh. i have just looked up and noticed that there are multiple holes in the ceiling. like it has chicken pox or something.

that is an interesting pattern, indeed.

on another note, i am now getting quite sick of italian food, i.e. if i see another piece of pizza i may be so inclined to rub it in the face of the unfortunate soul who has given it to me., please God, let me not have anymore pizza it is the food of the Devil himself, what with all the carbs and evil fattening cheese and hammy bacony bits, oh man, now it is making me hungrrrrry.

*screeeeam*

pOokpOok will be off now..there is much work to be done and she is just waffling about, being oafish and lazy and wasting time (exactly what she used to do at home actually,hmm..)

farewell my darlings, i shall be back in due time..

(or at least when telstra deigns to descend upon my humble flat and INSTALL MY PHONE LINE!)

you know you love me!

xoxo,

so lame. ahem.

i apologise.
