Here are some photos from my farewell day/night of party.

Contradulations

Tonight I ate a steak for the first time in a couple of years.

Mum, Dad, Maria, Trad and I went to the Norman Hotel.


I'm not going to lie... It was delicious.

More ants

So I get the train to the Gold Coast today. I'm listening to the new Rollo Tomassi album on my ipod and what do I notice as I am scrolling through the menu?

There are more fucking ants crawling out of the adapter hole on the bottom of the ipod. I spent a hole hour killing ants. One after the other. Crawling out of my ipod and onto my hands. Ant holocaust.

As much as I love living with Trad, Maria and Justin at the moment, I cannot wait to get away from the thousands of bastard ants in that house who are making my life hell.

I am worried that when I go through customs next week and all my shit goes through the X-ray machines, there is going to be an ant colony living in each of my electrical appliances.

Arrested for ant smuggling. I am the Shapelle Corby of insects.

Party til you puke

Say hello to my little friend

I just bought this little fella.
Sims got me a sweet hook up as well because he used to work at the shop where I bought it...

Was $380...
JB was selling it for $350
Staff discount price was $310
Dude did us a deal so it was $280
I had a $30 voucher...

Final price = $250.
Fucking stoked.


I would have liked to have taken the digital SLR that mum and dad got for me last Christmas, but it is a big old bastard... Not the best to be carting around if I am not in the one place for too long etc...

Also, I will be making videos with this camera. Documenting my life. Making short movies for you to watch. Educational films of how I am spending my time in The Netherlands.

14 days to go....

Festivus for the rest of us!

I found some photos I took at Christmas.

Ants

I fucking hate ants.

Crawling in my bed.
Crawling in my laptop.
Crawling in my shoes.
Crawling in the bag of jelly beans my mum bought me.
Crawling in the couch.
Crawling on the bench.


Little assholes.

Lesson 1

Today I got the Pimsleur Dutch Lessons audiobook. 30 half hour lessons to teach me conversational Dutch. They recommend half an hour each day, but I do so little work at my job, that I will more than likely be fluent by the end of this week.


18 days to go.... Shit is getting real.
