June 30, 2006Evidence of our CrimesThe long-awaited proof of the Bad Boys Road Trip 2006 Even though Josh alienated himself from our hostel, we had good times together, and for that, I cannot fault him even though he owes me $150. Michael moved on to...Read this update New wallpaper"Sometimes," Olaf had told me a few weeks back, "it's like a saying we have in German. You must have change of wallpaper." And I agreed. So this week I moved to a new hostel....Read this update June 26, 2006Pictures of a catJust thought I'd mention the cat that taught me about women. Now either I'm a bad student, or I have problems translating the stress or tone. Meow can mean so many things....Read this update June 25, 2006Brunch in BrunchwickI made my way to Salsa tonight, and danced with the Angki, who had big qualms about the repeat beginner lesson the teacher gave us tonight. She's begun trying to teach me Salsa, even though I've already gotten some time...Read this update June 24, 2006Filling me in | A night of SwingThey sat in the middle of the Melbourne Central mall, at a bench that stood by the great stopwatch, and before the shot tower. A blue balloon, with it's ribbon-leash, floated without an owner over the the concourse, with no...Read this update June 23, 2006House PartyI took a drag on the cigarette, wondering if I'd ever smoked before this (other than cigars - which, by the way, I only puff on). I got the gag reflex after I inhaled. Heh. I haven't smoked before. Georgia...Read this update June 22, 2006Used upSarah made the politically correct move of referring to the woman next to me as a man. The politesse of addressing people in trans-gendered or cross-gender identities is lost on me, but I hope I made a decent impression regardless....Read this update June 21, 2006SolitaireAt the end of the day, no matter whether the world seems to be coming down on me, or whether great fortune springs eternal, I can always count on friends to bring me through. Whether it's the friends who are...Read this update June 18, 2006Poundings, Walkies, Elvi gets hers"He's going to feel the wrath," Josh spouted, lip cut, and knuckle scraped, "of Italia." He was drunk. I was in a bad mood. And I just wanted to be alone. Today would be a day of poundings for all...Read this update June 17, 2006Figurines, Elvi, ClubbingI woke up and trundled downstairs to get a little bit of sunshine, having wasted half my day already by sleeping in. Rod, Chris' brother went to take his parents to the shopping mall in the morning, leaving his older...Read this update June 16, 2006Friday Night Fun Time!This week ended with me chatting with Renata, Heather, and two of my ex-students from the college in China at the same time. I was getting to know the first one for the first time, the second time around. I...Read this update A pared down journalI've taken a lot of the heavy ponderings from this blog. I just want to share with you the smaller things that make this journey read like an ordinary blog rather than stepping into my mind....Read this update June 13, 2006Quiz Show!"Pubic enemy sucks!" the girls called out. "Hairy snatches swallow!" I replied. What a raunchy evening this turned out to be....Read this update June 12, 2006Everything comes together...kinda.Elke rushed out to hug us. "You do not know how much I missed you all!" She hugged and kissed us all on the cheek. "This hostel was so dead without you three!" I smiled tightly at the affirmation. Tonight...Read this update June 11, 200612 Apostles12 Apostles We climbed the steep hill, only to find that there was nothing at the top worth mentioning, and the signs had lied about toilets being at the peak. "Just let me know if anyone comes, okay?" I called...Read this update June 10, 2006Road Trip Trio"So Michael will drive the first leg, I'll do the second, and you'll handle the third leg?" I asked aloud. Josh replied, "Yes, I'll handle the third leg." "Ah," I answered, "so you admit you like to handle your third...Read this update June 09, 2006A Nobody WritesAt the beginning of the week, things started rolling. The awkwardness of coming clean to Janelle has begun, regardless of what she reassured me of. Who was she to promise things she, as a human, cannot control? I received an...Read this update June 07, 2006Lasagne, Weirdness, Needing, AdoboLasagne. Everyone knows how to make a lasagna (I hope). I used to make lasagna with a meat sauce, but after a visit to Europe on the great EEY2k+2 (Excellent European Escapade 2002) with my team of excellent friends, I...Read this update June 05, 2006I came for the CoffeeI've done it. It's done. The weight of a million walls has finally been lifted off me, and sadly, I don't get the girl. Typical for me, actually. I may get to keep her friendship, and I made sure not...Read this update June 02, 2006Another Other Guy“Look on the bright side of things,” Scott said,”she might not even like the guy at all. It might just be for the sex.” Scott has a way of comforting people....Read this update June 01, 2006Easy-peasy CanneloniJuan and I were supposed to go out...at least to a nearby pub to drink, and shoot pool, at most with the Norwegians, and by proxy, Janelle, to dance or drink. At the realistic best, we could have gone to...Read this update |
