mystery

i lost my writer's notebook again, which also contains a travel log of my trip. i've recreated most of my life, but still can't remember what i did on July 7th or July 4th. tasha was sick that week and amerika was celebrating her independence. any information you may have about those two days would be greatly appreciated.

storm

one helluva storm passed through last night... including but not limited to:
* bucket loads of water [common in NZ]
* hail [occasional in NZ]
* lightning [rare]

i didn't sleep well, yet somehow i found the energy to hack out the strawberry jam jar which had gotten consumed by the ever-growing glacier in my fridge.

hands

my right hand always knows what my left one is doing.... it just doesn't trust it.

public kryer

in amerika :: this man would be preaching about god
in new zealand :: he reads classic poetry

options

walking home, i was hungry and found $1 hot dogs from a charity drive. i was happy and fulfilled eating my dog until i got home.... my flatmate was walking one street over and they had free hot dogs over there....

this has been a food post. aye caramba.

friends

the nz newspaper heralded the fact that a nz politician now has as many facebook friends as bill clinton. aside from the obvious question of "is this news"... i ask if this really means anything at all given the fact that the last thing bill clinton wants is a reputation for "the guy with the most school age friends"

final call

this weekend is final weekend to mail me letters that can safely arrive before i return.

library replacement

the wellington library has no limit on the number of books you can check out.

with the help of a friend, i plan on checking out every book in the library.

then starting a rival library across the street.... which would only be open for 1 month...

place to stay

if anyone needs a place to rent, i know of a great flat in wellington "someone" is trying to get rid of...

a coke machine...

being back

it's strange being back from vacation. they're cutting dead trees from my dog park. tasha's room is completely re-arranged because the skylight started to drip. the time to start investigating jobs in the states has arrived. the world keeps moving even while you're on vacation.
