tasty thai

I just got home from dinner with Walking Rek in Newtown. We went to a restaurant named Doy Tao, on the St Peter’s end of King Street. The food was good, and the portions were massive. There is no way that any normal human could consume a main that size. My tofu+vege stirfry was under ten bucks, good value in anyone’s book. I also now have tomorrow’s lunch.

After dinner, we went back to her place and I was greeted with a surprise: Crazy James has moved in to the spare room! He even painted it beforehand (or, at least, Gus did). Crazy James is a sommelier/wine dude and offered me a glass of a very tasty red that he brought home from work.

It is my birthday this Friday, in two days! A fellow Aquarius, Rek’s birthday is the following Monday. As it is her 30th she has decided to do something special and is going to Melbourne for a week. I will be joining her on Sunday and returning to Sydney on Tuesday night. Both flights are planned for the evening to allow some dissipation of the the anticipated hangovers. Saturday night is my birthday party, but not just my birthday. It is also my housewarming party!

That’s right, I am now the proud resident of a much better house in Cremorne, 600+ metres closer to The Oaks than my last. I live with two girls, Mega and Kat. They are both nice, happy girls and we are getting along well. I love that the house is relatively clean and smells nice, that it is a chick house. I have my own bathroom and my bedroom is very large, 4m x 4.4m. I can easily fit my bed, desk, bookshelves and the tetris. There are builtin wardrobes, 3.4m long. Electricity use is not only permitted, it is encouraged! This was the only house I looked at, I knew it was the one for me. There were ten other applicants and I was the one they chose because they, correctly, found me to be lovely.

Marianna, I hope you are happy that I just mentioned you in my blog.

the problem with this blog

The problem with this blog is that I can’t write about much of the most awesome stuff that happens in my life. I know many of my readers in Real Life, either beforehand or readers that I built relationships through this blog//internet//myspace//whatever. It is ok to tell secrets if I remain anonymous but not when I, or my partners-in-crime, can be identified. Even now I have to obscure the names of many of the people I write about. Wordy though some of them may be, I omit a lot of events from my narratives.

I maintained a secret blog for a while, which only Breigh knew about, but I eventually gave it up. I like to have a blog as a form of diary, I often use it to look up past events. I had to look up when Kirsten and I broke up so I could plan an 18 months singlehood(?) party. I could go oldskool and get a paper diary, but the chances of that ever getting updated tend towards zero. What to do?

*note to my geek friends: the secret blog was not hosted on any of my domains so don’t bother looking up my dns records to track it down. It is not on the wayback machine either.
