Playground Weekender

[These are just my notes, (I might flesh it out in the future]

7/3

  • Walking Rek got busted by sniffer dogs for possession of 3.8g of weed
  • Played croquet with Rek and J-Dogg - Rek won, J-Dogg lost
  • Played ping pong against J-Dogg, I won 21-18. This is an achievement as he works in a prison and therefore, I assume, plays it all the time.
  • So happy, I felt like I was on drugs (whilst sober). Must be Holiday Mode. Resolved to abandon current life and live in a tent forever.
  • The only other person that Rek knew was coming, unknowingly pitched their tent next to ours.
  • Got some chili and cinnamon chocolate coated coffee beans, which Rek dubbed Guatemalan Jumping Beans. They were tops.
  • At night there was a huge storm and it bucketed down for a few hours. When we returned to our tents we learned that our prime spot was, in fact, on low-lying land. The ground was squishy and there were 2-3 inches of water standing, above the top of the grass. My tent stayed dry (thank God) and it was kinda floating on the water. I slept on a comfortable waterbed.
  • A girl collapsed due to drink/drugs/? and was helped out by the omnipresent cops. 10 minutes later she was back on the dancefloor with her hands down the front of J-Dogg’s pants. Slores.
  • Dexter was the highlight of the night, especially the latin stuff. The Drum N Bass stuff was difficult for me, I kept losing the beat (trying to follow too many beats)
  • There was an Iced-Up Bogan (IUB) taunting two uniformed police officers who were near me, he was standing right in front of them and making challenging faces.
  • Cops were everywhere, all day and night.
  • All drink cans were $0.50 deposit. J-Dogg proceeded to fill a garbage bag with Hobo Cans. He bonded with a girl who had her own bag and was competing for the pickings.

8/3

  • Woke up to a still-flooded area. We are the only waterlogged area on a field that is as big as 4 footy fields.
  • We unpegged our tents and carried them, still assembled, to a new location. This one is tops because it is dry and there are bikini girls.
  • I went for a swim in the pool as a substitute for a morning shower. Very refreshing.

Lydia

I am very happy, because Lydia has decided to stay in Australia to be with me. I know it is true because:

  • She didn’t go home
  • She has signed a 2-year lease on a studio
  • She has an agent

Anyway, this is why I haven’t blogged for ages, because I spend every available second with her. I love her.

pokes

pokes At any time of the day or night I can log into facebook and, at a minimum, be greeted with pokes from Lydia and Amelia. I keep very strange hours, yet they always manage to return a poke instantly. This reassures me because I know, from their behaviour, that there are people out there with a far worse facebook addiction than mine.

jumping outta my skin

I am so excited. In less than 2 days I will be seeing Lydia again after almost 3 months. We met at Marks & Tracy’s wedding in late July and only got to spend a week together before she had to go back home to London. We had a great time during that week and since then there have been only 2 days in which we weren’t in touch. My phone bill is astronomical, but it is the lack of sleep from trans-timezone chatting that took the biggest toll.

Lydia will be here for 6 WEEKS! In that time we are going to a wedding together, she is coming to Harbourlife with the Party Posse, and there have been soft plans made for journeys to Dubbo, Melbourne and the Hunter Valley.

green!

Tonight, at the Shanghai Palace in Chatswood, I attended a Datacom/Microsoft Tech Support reunion dinner for those of us who suffered in the late 90’s in the days of Windows 98 and NT 4.0. I had worked closely with three of the guys there and, like any reunion, it was a mixture of slight awkwardness, reminiscing, and hearing about people’s lives. The food was the whitest possible without going as far as Sweet & Sour Pork, but it was enjoyable nonetheless. This, however, is not the subject of this post.

I arrived in Chatswood a full 40 minutes early (!) and, as it was late-night shopping, went for a walk up Victoria Ave in search of things to look at. The air was humid, smelling of Chinese spices, naphthalene, and a little bit of air conditioning mould. It was almost like being in KL.

The lure of Chatswood Westfields drew me in, and I remembered a background mission that I have been pursuing for some time: to get some new Volleys. I have looked in a Big W and 2 Kmarts but the selection has been poor in all cases. They never have any size 10’s (weird that I am size 11½ for every other shoe). Chatswood Target, however, is a Dunlop Volley shopper’s delight: they have every size of every colour. White with blue, white with green & gold, black, and white with green & gold, extra green trim, green laces and SKULLS inside! Guess which ones I bought? $30 = BARGAIN!

Aren’t they lovely? I think that I will wear them to see M.A.N.D.Y. on Saturday night. The green is the exact same as my new lamb shirt. I know that Lydia is reading this and groaning at my poor taste. I like them.

homo lupus (no homo)

Chriso was meant to post this to the Party Posse website but, since he has not done so, I will post it here.

There are three signs that someone is a werewolf:

  1. They turn into a werewolf
  2. They wake up naked with blood around their mouth
  3. They sneeze when exposed to bright light

Be warned. Werewolves walk among us.
