and some notes on today...

had a visit from Korea, Jasmine and Sharon (all from citylife) today, who came down to share lunch with us - was good to catch up with Korea, if in the usual disfunct (and subtley threatening) Korea way.

Here's to brilliant days :D

Yesterday we had Credo team (meeting), where we usually get all those involved with Credo (volunteers, etc) and talk about stuff integral to the running of Credo Cafe.

We did that for 15mins, and then we all went to fed square for ice cream!! And it was just such a perfect way to spend that beautiful arvo... I'm still a bit dubious over my pistachio flavour choice, but a perfect arvo nonetheless...

Will get some photos up soon (yo christop, you forgot to give me the arvo photos too)...

guess who's in the laneway :D

hehehehe, excuse the pun, but this stuff is right up my alley... jump to christop's laneway blog entry!!

The weekend before...

Croc Hunter died, Brocky died... and I've had a pretty busy week too :)

Bucks weekend turned out much better than I'd thought - I'd gone thinking that it was going to be just a weekend away where a bunch of guys play xbox, and came away instead with some great moments.

I'd taken the Friday off, and went down first - arrived at the house @ 5, had a fishy chip dinner and wandered around for a bit... Went down to this amazing, secluded beach at just sat there staring out at the ocean. It was overwhelming, the sense of power and vastness of the ocean, the approaching waves (and me becoming more and more aware of how far the stairs up the cliffs were), together with the dark, ominous clouds filling the sky entirely... and the darkening day. Almost terrifying, in a bizar way.

Skip forward to the next day, and we did the bucks thing by stripping Gidz down to his jocks, gave him two towels and a pair of sunnies and then dumped him in the middle of town for him to walk back to the house - We then drove off, coming back every now and again to take photos :P

After we got back, a whole bunch of life ex'ers had come up, and proceeded to assemble the Halo multiplayer, at which I thought I'd be left to my own devices to entertain myself. But as me and Wes were finding a place to house my bike, we stumbled into the garage of the place and onto a bonanza of wet suits, surf and boogie boards!! It was a freezing day, but our minds were quickly made up - we were going out!!

We dragged Gidz away from the multiplayer conflagaration, and had one of the most memorable weekends ever - three guys, facing the waves on this beach we had all to ourselves.

The top photo really sums it up for me - three good friends together in a last hurrah

More hero shots in nate's photos...

no respite... none at all...

... and the weekend looks just as stupid too :( Going down this arvo to Philip Island for Gideon's bucks weekend... should be ok... will be back Sunday arvo...

Some drafts due on Monday night for some group work and another assignment also due that day... blehhh... damn it, that's it, I'm going to sleep now...

So tired...

Got the mega huge ASS-ignment done, with a large donation of sleep going towards it :( Starting to crash, humongously... must hang on... complete this post...

Bound the thing (binding is the most stupid process in the world, grrr), dropped it off this arvo and got to salvage some of the brilliant weather of the day with Viki... walked down and around the Botanical Gardens, through parts that I'd never seen before and seemed so foreign and fantasy like... lost in this green wonderland... then again, that could have also been the sleep deprivation speaking... and spent the developing evening sitting by the flame at the war memorial... after which we went back into the city and to Golden Monkey, where oddly enough I was recognised by the waitress there... the one we were betting on that night Mikey :P
