there's this, though it might be expensive http://www.varuna.com.au/index.html. everyone i know who has been there got one of their scholarships, i don't know anyone who has paid to go. but it's apparently great.

thank you dear.i have been warming up (haa...naa...) to the idea of heading north in australia. i blame my sister. all she ever does is whine about the cold. it's catching.
― jergins, Tuesday, 20 October 2009 06:28 (fourteen years ago) link
i used to love the cold but now i don't like it nearly as much, the summers here don't bother me nearly as much as they used to and when i go to nz i find the coldness a bit miserable. i never thought this would happen to me.

the chocolate bullets i brought for the work people aren't being gobbled up, which is fine because that means i get them all for myself while still appearing generous!

― jergins, Wednesday, 21 October 2009 20:53 (fourteen years ago) link
i love date scones with hellof butter.
i don't know if they are still around but heaps of places in wellington used to sell some local brand of vegetable samosas that were the best samosas i've ever eaten, i pretty much lived on them for a while. an indian-owned grocery store or dairy would be the place to look for them.

i like australia. the first world is a nice world.
yesterday afternoon i walked across town to the tilbury hotel. i sat outside and waited, and then king boy pato, THE esteban buttez, showed up. we had a beer and chatted. then sic showed up. we had another beer and tried to snake a table. the place was full of what you might imagine sydney people to be like: dressy, kinda trashy, tan, rich-looking. the music was good though, that's why we went, even though no one was dancing (fair enough, it's the afternoon) and no one was listening (you fuckers). we took some chairs from the restaraunt and then got yelled at for it, except the staff had closed the doors to the inside, so we couldn't take the chairs back.
then we left because that place sucked and looked at a famous pie shop. blink 182 once ate pies there, i saw the photo. after that we got in a cab, deciding to go downtown. most of the way downtown we decided to go to newtown. more places open there on a sunday afternoon.
sic took me to 'an institution', the most disorganized bookstore i've ever been in. and i've been in some doozies. stuff everywhere. it's hard to describe, so overwhelming that place, you wouldn't want to be near it in an earthquake, you wouldn't want to go in if you had claustrophobia. i needed a book but couldn't even look.
we went to the marlborough hotel and had a beer. and another. then jabba hands showed up. we had another beer. and one more. had to try all the different kinds, huh?
after that we walked down the block to mexican food. as soon as we sat down pato took a call. he left a minute later under mysterious circumstances. i don't want to conjecture here, it's inappropriate. i said, "well if this is the last time i see you, then bye." he kinda waved me off and headed down the street.
burritos were $18 at that place. hey now! we drank 2 sols each. then we went back to the marlborough hotel and had 2 more beers. then i said bye and tried to walk to the hotel but gave up after five minutes and got a cab.
headache
