(no subject)
for someone who hasn't really done much the past few days, i am really exhausted. i think it's because i am not used to having to go around socializing with different people. in Dubai i just had two or three people i used to regularly hang out with....but now, it's like i run into people every day. crazy.
i haven't really been doing too much. i pretty much spent most of the weekend with jackie! friday afternoon was spent lounging around brighton beach with andrew. ahhhhh. i could still do with a few more beach days, preferrably before the weather begins to get cold and evil (something it appears to be doing now). later that jackie and i hit up this awesome shisha cafe down sydney road (we both missed filling up our lungs with the sweet smells of apple and mint) which came complete with bottles of coca cola written in Arabic! ahhh just like home.
saturday night i met up with jackie again to go to ben's cartoon character party. it also rained like a motherfucker the whole evening, so i stood in ben's kitchen talking to a boy named diego and another boy named Andrew Wilcock. it was also the first time i got to use my 'oh i've been in Dubai working as a writer for the past year' spiel which actually went down really well. nice.
sunday night jackie was nice enough to cook andrew and i a feast of tofu stir-fry, roast chicken drumsticks and stuffed tomato. i had been yearning for home cooked food for the past week, i honestly cant remember what ive eaten because a lot of it has been eating out. it has to stop!
a tattoo shop has opened on nicholson street. i consider it a sign to ink myself (but probably not at that shop because it looks dodgy).
i watched the Kite Runner (with jackie) yesterday. the film was alright, although i think i would have liked it better if they didnt try too hard to make it seem like a powerful and moving films. some things just turned out really....overdone. and almost kind of cringe-worthy. the book is better.
