ripe bananas

i bought 42 ripe bananas for $1.50USD.
the allure overcame me.
now i must figure out how to process 42 ripe bananas.
soon.

still unemployed

for the first time in a job interview, i refused to lie.
i did not get the job.
a five week christmas break is "excessive".

the cinema will have to wait until january.

funny fists

the last couple nights i've developed three little bumps/rashes/bites on my left hand. they're starting to form the southern cross... i wonder if it's some sort of kiwi stigmata.

answer :: what interesting objects are they using as weapons?

bad houseguest

our kurrent houseguest pees all over the toilet without discrimination. it's disgusting. i have never seen so much urine dispersed over such a great area. he has obviously never read everybody poops or met a gentleman of larry david's caliber.

i barely understand men who pee standing up, let alone one with negative forty-five kommon kourtesies towards their host.

combine in an unforeseen way

new boat

i bought a new boat. it's not much to look at, but the salesman assured me it was ocean-ready. someday i hope to add a mast, a motor and maybe even an anchor. this weekend i'll paint it white so it doesn't stick out as much.

my best day ever

today was a series of amazing events:

1. i had a good interview at a movie theatre for a super-part-time job that would allow me to watch tons of free movies.

2. after worrying i'd be stuck in sydney with no hotel over new years, i finally found one that wasn't $1000/night.

3. i did coffee with an actress i met after her play this weekend. it was not a date, but i can't imagine her not liking me.... it's just her boyfriend i'm unsure of....

4. i pre-finished writing my second movie. it's readable from start to finish, but there's 8 minutes in the middle i skipped the first time through.... gotta finish them tomorrow.

3. my flatmate took his certification exam, which means he's done studying. we celebrated with a game of risk.

2. i got a new sworn enemy on facebook.

1. i'm going to bed early, which means i get to read even more harry potter before falling asleep!

craft day: hat

"how did you spend your weekend?"
"i made a hat."
"cool, i didn't know you knit."
"it was out of paper... and attached to a $1,000 horse hair magistrate wig. the mohawk top was inspired by--"
gb looks around, but his audience had vanished.

56 and sunny

right now the weather is identical in wellington and minneapolis.
it's 3:45 CDT and i'm just waking up.
it's as if i never left.

anyone got a good weather site? i've stuck with weather.com out of habit more than anything.
