australia.

candies across the water

date scone with hellof butter and a flat white, good times

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.

when i become a rollergirl my name will be hellof butter

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

what's up now in australia, jergins, i've been thinking of you. that day with the sydney mongs sounds nice.

gonna go to the clare in a minute, so you know it's good

just a couple days left. i love sydney but i have no money and am ready to go home

we came in 2nd place in trivia, which is a travesty BUT the other team had 10 ppl and we still won 2 jugs of beer and a dvd of crashes that i'm meant to liveblog

and on the guesss the song, win a jug section, we won 2/4

that's what matters ppl

i am the proud possessor of 6 (six) (!!!!!!) bags of choc liquorice bullets.

well, not quite 6 because i can't stop eating them. lollies for breakfast, just like the old days.

<3<3<3<3<3<3

does this also mean estela finally stopped eating the lollies she has been promising to send me for a year and actually mailed them?!?!?

alas no, ruby, i'm sorry. my friend went to aus and i gave her cash dollars to convert to candy.

goddamnit

lol. you know that just encourages her.

omg those people are going to very disappointed.

(e, you can see the toes of my new campers)

shoulda brought marmite instead

i ate too many bullets so i had to have something salty.

bullets + pringles = the world's best breakfast

otm

i feel just terrible.

maybe eating these pineapple lumps will alleviate my guilt.

You cant eat vegemite with water crackers! You need bread and BUTTER

also wtdh at squeezable vegemite?!

jatz are okay but you do need butter

S'rong with squeezyveg? Handy for camping an' that.
