Other Light

December 20, 2005

There’s always a time when you know that Summer really has hit Australia. Its not when your had your BBQs and days at the beach, oh no. You know that summer has really hit when the first scorcher comes in. That is a day so hot that it forms at least 10% of the days discussion and stands out like anything else. Its when you go outside and all you can here is the buzzing of flys that loom around your backdoor. That my friend is when you know its summer. And today is the first of the summer days. Unfortunately I had to be out and about in the heat.

Since my next work day is on Christmas eve morning(unless I take up some Thursday and Friday night shifts, which seems probable), I’m feelin’ really fine and I want to just chill out over the next few days and soak up some of the Christmas spirit. Since one of the presents that my Mum was going to give my Uncle for his Birthday(on Christmas day I believe) had broke on us I needed to head into town to pick it up. It’s a card, no ordinary card a special one that lists all of the events of the year in which the person was born and talks when you open it up. High quality stuff. The sound had screwed up so I offered to go into town and fix it up. Went into town, nabbed the card and had got off at my respective train station, unfortunately the bus that I would have to catch went off just as I was walking to the stop. Idiocy I told myself. Argh. I didn’t want to wait another 50 minutes to get home. So I decided to walk home, which changed to going to the new Mc Donalds and after realizing that I didn’t have enough for a Happy meal I went to Johns. Luckily it was one of his days off and I just caught him returning from Harvey Norman. Had lunch at his place and had a good ol’ chin way. That was great. He’s really caught up with work. 37 hrs a week, phew. Then I headed off to Matts place and we had another good ol’ chin way. Watched some trailers and game stuff on the net. Showed me round his PC a bit. I’ll try and pop in again this week, if I can. Or see if I can do something with someone else. Maybe James? Beats me.

On other things, Chris and I got our reports today(and so did John, lol) Chris got Dux in English and some award for Rave. He’s pissed off as he wanted to get something for Maths or IT. Wonder who got the IT award then. I’m happy with my results, I out did Chris is Physics and IT which is just what I wanted. I’m only a few % off in Chinese and well Maths lets just say that he’s a fag. Lol, he did good. The new NRX is going well. So is my C++, works fine as well which is great. Kicthen sucks, won’t be finished until January 15th, ie holidays= semi ruined. As Chris and I are the big hosts for holidays activites. We will figure something out. Least new years is sorta covered. Other than that things are pretty cool.
