Since that's a really lame excuse to break a posting drought, I should probably say some stuff. This will most likely be in reverse chronological order, kinda.
10 days until we fly out! Almost 9 now. GLEE!
Got some good firework photos at the australia day thing in town, but I haven't uploaded them yet, and most firework photos look mostly the same anyway. Had a good aussie day barbecue, despite the winner of the JJJ hottest 100 being almost universally booed. Most of the people we like came over, including Pittsy and Karinda down from Perth. Decided between getting food and getting home that we'd head up to their place for the weekend (Jess and I both had friday off after australia day on the thursday, so had 3 days left AFTER the barbie. So australian.) We were 15 minutes behind some cars that were involved in a triple fatality crash, which was a bummer. Saw lots of flashy lights but had to move because the helicopter was coming in and find another way through, so took about an extra hour. Which sucked for Pittsy, because he was meant to start work at 4am and we didn't get him home until after 1.
Been working at the K-mart that will be opening here soon, helping get the stock in and everything set up. It's been okay, but the day drags a lot when you spend 10 minutes doing something then 15 minutes walking around looking for someone to give you something else to do, or find something to do yourself. Gonna miss the opening week and a half, so should miss most of the drama :P. Will be working 20 hours a week in the sound and vision department with tvs, stereos and consoles and the like, and 10 hours in the minilab. Anita (my manager from kevron, and friend from volleyball) got the full time minilab job, so she's happy too. Seem like all other good people there too. Should be good.
Christmas and new year's eve were good fun, all pretty relaxed - at that point I was still unemployed (but hopeful) and Jess had the week off, so there was lots of beach cricket / park cricket / booting a soccer ball around and stuff like that. We made pinatas for new year's eve, turned out to be the perfect amount for one each. Main problem was that we couldn't work out how to hang them, so we just threw them to the blindfolded person with the cricket bat.
I had something else to say, but forget what it was.
Oh yeah, superleague this year could be pretty lame, we've got a bunch of outdoor beach players in our mens div 1 team, so they might do okay, but no one is really going to care. Jess is stuck in ladies 3 again, I'm gonna be in mens 2 by the looks of it in a team that may or may not suck.
Think that's about it.
Crap, just looked at how long ago my last post was. The world record thing was really good fun, wasn't difficult at all and we reached the 52 hour mark with only a few people in pain. We're still waiting to hear whether or not we have the offical 'Guinness World Record', since there's a lot of paperwork and shit to go through. That all got sent off early december, apparently did a tour of australia for 4 weeks before taking the slow boat to england, despite being paid to go express air post. Probably gonna be like 5 weeks more before we find out. Hopefully we get it then someone beats us so we can do it again.
That's it, for real for real!
You're such an inspiration for the way that I would never ever choose to be
