Wellington weather worries

Sunday, October 29th, 2006

With just over a week untill I leave (no, no packing yet) I’m starting to worry about the weather in wellington. It’s been really nasty lately, and they keep shutting down the airport. I’m hoping that leaving at 6.20am will make my chances of getting out on the right day better, but something like 80% of travellers have been re-schedualed due to the wind and whatnot.

The ferries haven’t even been running. One ended up taking 9 hours for a 3 hour crossing- thanks to 9m waves in the straight. The captain pulled over somewhere for a couple hours, or there’d probably be some huge news story about how *another* ferry was lost on that crossing. They seem to lose one every 10 or 20 years. They’re probably due.

But don’t let that worry you- California’s due for a 9.5 or 10.0 ‘quake soon, and the people there haven’t all fallen into the sea yet.

procrastinatoring!

Thursday, October 12th, 2006

I have a couple paragraphs to write on some stupid subject I have no interest in, but I don’t have time for that right now! I have to pack, get on my bike, and get my pale scrawny ass to the train station, so I can get to wellington!

What’s in wellington, you ask? well, apparantly there’s some cool motor bike at te papa, but that’s not why I’m going, nope, nope nope. I’m going because that’s where my baby is, and I damned well want it back! I’ve given in to the lure of the cheap ass monitor from trademe to get me thru untill loan time next year. I will live. Maybe.

But maybe even more important than my baby is- Bagels! yummy hot fresh bagels with yummy butter, or flavored cream cheese. Oozing yummy bagelly-ness.

Oh, yeah, and the lush shop, with the yummy smelling bath stuff, and the condishoner I lust after (in a totally non-sexual way).

Oh, yeah, and a half dozen or so booties.

Time to pack!

Love for Wellington

Ok, on Wednesday I finally made it to wellington. It was, in general, a fun trip, tho expensive- I can’t seem to stop myself from buying cute stuff when cute stuff is available. Bad for the budget, but now I ... [Continue reading this entry]

Delays

Tuesday, August 29th, 2006
So I *was* going to Wellington this morning. But I’m a dumb ass, and rather than writing my paper early this morning, so I could turn it in, I read smutty books. I think I need a nice solid boot ... [Continue reading this entry]
