Today is significant for a few reasons. This blog entry will therefore be brought to you as a (not necessarily chronological, but maybe I'll try) series of event descriptions.
1. I spent a dandy half an hour this morning standing next to a pole. It was probably the greatest thrill ever, except that time my family drove all the way from southern Queensland to Canberra and only stopped once for a short meal.
I was supposed to meet Ruckus at the train station to buy train tickets at 12, but she got "lost" (though supposedly she knows the way from Central to Roma St) so I was stuck waiting for her on the deserted Platform 10 for half an hour. It turned out the ticket sales window was only open until eleven in the morning and then not again until four in the afternoon. So after all the waiting I'd done, we just left anyway.
2. I purchased the necessary textbooks for my university course. I am studying journalism, so I only needed one book. I had two other recommended books, so I decided to buy those as well since I like to read and they looked interesting. I figure that you don't really need a lot of specific information for journalism, you just have to make up a lot of crap and sleep with the bosses to advance (joke). But anyway one of my books is called "Release the Hounds" and has dogs on the front which don't look menacing at all. That was pretty exciting but really the only book worth noting on here. The other two will probably be quite interesting reads but right now I'm only judging them by their covers.
3. Gloria Jean's didn't have any cherry soda left. Wow. Every time I go there they check if they have cherry, but they always have. Until today. This one day, they had run out. I guess I drank it all. Ruckus and I both wanted cherry but we got lime instead. It was okay in the end because the lime tasted quite good and was an amazingly pretty colour, not lime green but a bluer shade. It was quite a dazzling experience.
3. Turns out it takes me longer to eat one McDonald's Mini Snack Wrap than it does for Ruckus to eat two. Interesting stuff there.
4. Off Ya Tree did not have the shoes Ruckus wanted in stock in her size. Fortunately she now has her Bopo card (pre-paid credit card) so she could just order them off the net if she wanted to.
5. The Valley is still rife with traffic, cigarettes, vagrants, police officers and alternative boutique stores. Today it smelled more interesting than usual because it rained.
6. Ruckus and I purchased some tickets to go back to our old town for the Easter weekend, hurray. I said it'd be like goiong on a weird backwards holiday because we have always gone the other way around on the train. Going back will be good because I can see my cat again. And play Oblivion. Hurray.
7. I ate a little too much pizza. I feel fat and unhealthy and lazy. Ugh.
8. I got a Valentine's Day card, and it wasn't scribbled on a piece of paper from one of my friends after i'd given them one. Sure it wasn't from my loving adoring boyfriend (for the obvious reason that I don't have one of those) but who cares. It was a lovely nice tacky card. Thanks, Alan.
9. I was actually feeling COLD when I came into my room before. I turned off the fan, put on a jumper and got into bed with my laptop. It was great. Unfortunately, I have since gotten hot again and might have to sit on top of my bedcovers again and take my jumper off. Damn.
Bye. blog.
