Sydney was indeed awesome...after busking, i just chilled out, had a few beers and caught up with loads of people that id met whilst i was here the first time! It was really good to see everyone again...I did end up drinking quite alot of Goon though. For the first, and quite probably the last time for another 5months. that stuff is evil.
So essentially, I woke up yesterday morning with the biggest hangover in the world. Well, its not really a hangover. Goon gives you something thats the closest thing to being clinically dead, without actually killing you. Its horrible. So I wake up, and need to do something, so i decide to get the bus to Coogee beach, then walk down to Bondi Beach, along the coast..
It was really really good. It was a beautiful day, I had a bit of a wonder. In true me fashion i walked for an hour in the wrong direction before realising, and walking all the way back again...there are some spectacular views along that walk though, so i didnt really care. It also cleared my head like nobodys business...
Then yesterday evening, I met up with a few more friends and this girl id met on the coach on the way down here, and managed to get her number. That was pretty cool. We just went to this real cool pub called the courthouse, then onto Kellys pub for a drink (because the bloody courthouse closed at 10pm on a sunday. I mean, What??!) but I ended up getting back early for my train this morning, but talking to 3am. Then not waking up.
So now ive missed my train by one minuite, and am back at the hostel again until later tonight. Nice one! :P
Lol. The Saga Continues..... :P Still, its another day off work. You've got to look on the brightside! :P

SYYYYYYDNEEYY!! (Briefly) And a catch up on the last 2 weeks!
I cant believe i havent updated this thing for 2 weeks! Shows how quickly the time is going!
I Saw 'Sex&Drugs&Rock&Roll'. It was absolutely awesome! An amazing biography film. Really Interesting, Really funny. Well worth watching. I saw the biography film about the Runaways later too, but that was a steaming pile of...dirty laundry. Not good...Well, certainly not compared to the life of Mr Ian Dury.. :P
The next week I didnt get up to an awful lot, except I went to see a really really Cool band called Whitley on the friday with Paul and Phoebe..They were also bloody awsome! Although they did take AAAAGES getting ready, so i had another late finish, early morning for work the next day. But yes. He started off as a folk set, then got a full band on and played...well, sort of Indie, but more rocky, and with a sideorder of folk. It was really good...Id reccomend checking them out!
Apart from that, the weekend was pretty uneventful...I went to visit my Friend Anna-Marie in hospital, as shed got an infected leg from somewhere, which had turned into Cellulitous. Lol, it was only on the saturday night, when someone was talking and mentioned her name, and i was like 'oh yeah, hows she doing? Wheres she travelling now? Havent seen her in a good few weeks!' when they politely informed me that shed been hospitalised, poor girl!
Last Thursday, I did a chip repair on a Ferrari, which was awesome. I also booked a ticket up to Sydney for this weekend. I spent 12hours on a coach from yesterday at 8pm - 8am this morning, which almost sucked, but i DID manage to get this real nice italian girls number, (she does effects for short films apparantly) AND score a free coffee! Get in! :P On monday i get to spend 9hrs on a train. See what rabbit i can pull out of the hat for that one eh? :P
I FINALLY have my guitar in Tow though, at last! And its a really really nice one! 197-something Yamaha (apparantly!), but it sounds awesome...its got a really nice projection and sound to it! And at 130quid, its a bargain. could have done with it 5months ago though, but never mind!
Its also made me my 1st money in busking. Im now offically $28-50 richer. Who wants me to buy them an island? :P The Yaghts'll come next week, when ive changed the loose shrapnel into Gold Bullion. Until then its going to buy the weekends food, a weekend all you can eat train pass, and a cheap tub o'Goon for tonight i think! :P

A whole tray of steak for $9? Get in!
Things that ive been up to this week - Mainly being knackered! I managed to win a ticket to the Melbourne Film Festival though, and im going to go and see 'Sex&Drugs&Rock&Roll', which is the biograpy about Ian Dury (Drury??), of the Ian Dury and the Blockheads fame. Theres a group of people heading down from the hostel, and it sounds pretty good!
At any rate, I like that 'Hit me with a rhythm stick' song, and their bound to play it at least once! :P So that should be good. Today ive just been wondering around Victoria market, getting myself some bargains. A tray of steak for nine bucks, a pinapple for 1.80. That sort of thing. Ive now eaten so much bloody pineapple, my mouth has gone all tingley...
mmm. Tingely mouth.
Yesterday I went out for a few drinks with my friend Lara. We went and had a glass of mulled wine in this place called the gypsie bar, which was just starting some reggie night, then we had pizza at this restauraunt, then went on to this bar, which was pretty cool. There was a bottle shop (off license) right next door, and you could buy drinks in there, then drink them next door in the actual bar / pub. We chose a nice Pinot Noir, i think it was (get me being the wine buff! Its because beers so sodding expensive over here, its all i drink now!), paid $7 each for it, and had a really nice bottle of wine that lasted for the rest of the evening. The rock / metal band playing was a bit shite, but the company was good, so thats all that matters!
Apart from that. Well. Last weekend, Id gone out for a few quiet beers down the local pub before work, and then headed out to this really cool bar in town for literally a drink because it sounded really cool, and i was with a good group of people. It had a really cool pool table, with a zebra skin print on the cloth, instead of the green felt normally used. It was impossible to get an angle. Even for a Pool Champion such as me!. So I went there, Had a pint. Had a game of pool. Got the tram home for work the next day. It broke down didnt it. So i ended up having to walk back AGAIN!
So i got in at 130am again. Then I was up at 630am for work. At work, Everyone gave me coffee (strong, 2 sugars). So i was already bouncing off the walls. Then I got back, and headed over to the nightcat, which is this soul club that has a live band playing until about 2-3ish. So went there, had a few drinks, was understandably pretty tired, so i just sank two or three monster energy drinks (well, they call them mother over here).
At which point that was it. Got back to the hostel, was up all night talking, playing the guitar, chatting etc, and just didnt sleep until about midnight the day after. Not the most healthy weekend, but it was a bloody good one.
Oh, and in other important news, IVE FOUND A REAL PUB, THAT SERVES REAL BEER, PROPERLY!! Warm Stouts, Ales, etc. Its got an open fire place, comfy seats, and not only that, Monday they have a comedy night, and Wed, Sat, and Sun they have live music, so ill have to check it out.
