So I'm finally moving to melbourne this weekend. I cant remember whom i've told what at this point but I've been househunting for the past month and we finally secured a lease on a place today on Nicholson St in North Carlton, its like the top floor of a terrace house (i think).

So a week and bit in my job and things are starting to settle down. There was a bit of a learning curve at first which made the first few days difficult but I definitely feel more confident now. It's not the perfect job but it's filling my modest expectations which is all I wanted so I'm happy. Importantly I don't want to quit and I don't think ( Read more... )

So it's been awhile between updates, I think even a record by my standards anyway.

So while I'm waiting for the next thing to happen, here's an update ( Read more... )

It's been awhile since I've had to use the "well at least I can write about it on livejournal" excuse as a reason to do something outside of my comfort zone but here we are. Tonight I am going on my own to see a band I've never heard of on the other side of town, where I will catch up with someone I havent been keeping up with and meet up with two ( Read more... )
