April 30, 2006Salsa actionI was tired yesterday morning, and I didn't look forward to my Saturday shift as lowly kitchen hand. Things didn't go well on Friday night, due to a miscommunication. I was scheduled for a Friday night shift and Chef Juan...Read this update April 29, 2006Karma strikes backWhen someone says that they are not going to disclose information you give them to any third party in a way that identifies them, it probably really means: "We'll give your information to a third party so they can contact...Read this update April 26, 2006What you do not have...I met with Nurse Stefanie today. Anzac day. The Aussies and Kiwis, really respect their war dead. The parades marched downtown, on their way to the Shrine of Remembrance. I never liked parades. Why stand in one spot to watch...Read this update April 24, 2006Reversal of FortuneA cold has been passing around the hostel lately. With the lack of hot water and dishwashing soap, it's no wonder we all haven't picked up the bug all at once....Read this update April 20, 2006MotionsThis is Nathalie. This picture was taken when she was living in Vancouver along Beach avenue, which is where I lived before I left for world travel. Who knew we were in Canada at the same time, in the...Read this update April 19, 2006Trials, Class Differences, ResponsibilityYesterday, I went to an interview in Elsternwick to see if I could get in as a Kitchen hand. Why? I'm honest with myself enough to know that backpackers promise the moon and bail early on many jobs they take...Read this update April 15, 2006The Melbourne Market SceneTasmania may have the best produce and seafood by Australian standards, but it's cheaper to buy Tassie in Melbourne...than in Tassie....Read this update April 13, 2006Opp Shopping"Where did you get this lovely jacket?" My mother held the black velvet jacket with white piping. "I got it from a vintage shop on Granville Street and Robson." I answered proudly. "What's a vintage shop?" My mother asked. "It's...Read this update April 12, 2006Mid-week blahsThis morning "Well you should have seen yourself going on every night," Antoinette baited me. "What?" I asked, genuinely concerned, "What did I do?" "You were going on drunk every night," she said all seriously, "rambling away like a fool,...Read this update April 11, 2006MelbourneI hugged Nathalie and wished her well on her jouneys. "What are you going to do now?" She asked. "While you sleep," I replied, "I will make the dessert I promised I would for you and Yves. Then I will...Read this update April 07, 2006Things you come up with when you're scrapingThe Australian Icon of Chocolate Decadence....Read this update April 06, 2006The Flirt, Poor-man's DinnerYves returned today, and as I'd anticipated he was going into ludicrous amounts of come-ons on the lovely Nathalie. "Okay," he turned to me, "here is a woman that I must have with me. Tonight we will make a baby...Read this update April 05, 2006The Kindred SpiritShe turned heads as she walked through the social space of the hostel. Dressed in short-shorts, and a mildly transparent top, the leggy brunette caught the eyes of the guys in the room - myself included - as she prepared...Read this update April 03, 2006One last swing through TasmaniaYves parked the car and we both exited. "That was one narrow bridge!" He exclaimed. "Yes," I answered, "it's a lot like the one leading out from Andrew's farm." I placed my hand into my left jacket pocket and felt...Read this update April 02, 2006April 01, 2006Stranded for another weekI've received a parcel from Canada today. It wasn't something I was expecting, but I suppose something of importance has happened to the sender to prompt the early arrival of the package. My wait and malingering in Hobart is now...Read this update |
