well it's official... i don't like vindaloo. i've tried it 3 times now and none have them have been good. it's not the spice. i like fire, it's the flavor of it all that i don't get. i do like butter chicken tho.

the sun has been shining lately which is quite nice. it's been warm and i can walk without a jacket and not freeze my balls off. which is a good thing as i don't have balls to freeze off in the first place.

i've been busy interviewing all week for jobs. hopefully by friday i will have word back and have a permanent job here in christchurch. that would be nice. especially because other than the website which does consume a lot of my time, i haven't had a real paycheck since feb. well that's not true. i haven't worked since february 15. i haven't had a paycheck in much longer than that considering i worked at corner bar and never got a paycheck but the very first one i got over a year ago. gotta love taxes!

i've been temping at the ministry for the environment here in chch which has been actually a lot of fun. it's easy work and they think that i'm just fabulous. which of course is true.
so i'm heading back to
dallas in september for whitney's wedding and that should be fabulous. especially because i have a wonderful date for the wedding! ;-) with over 500 people invited, how can it not be an absolute blast?? talk about a party!

i'm bummed as i'm not sure i'll get to spend that much time back stateside if i score one of these jobs. i guess that's what happens in the real world tho. time to grow up.

so i met these 3 aussie boys a few months back when i went to a Crusaders Rugby game right? well it turns out that they had lived in bunbury with this dude that i had met in broome. talk about a small world!! well the boys are in dallas now and i've totally hooked them up. gotta show them what dallas is all about! i've got one of my sister's friends taking them out on the town and showing them all that there is to offer. i think they are in austin at the moment. regardless, i love it. it just goes to show how small the world really is today.

i've run into way too many people again in random places to believe that the world is small. especially with the internet these days. there are just too many occurrences for me to mention... running into a boy i went to college with in an apartment lobby in nyc; a girl i went to summer camp with in line at the uffizi in florence; a boy from high school in the bay of islands new zealand; the list goes on and on.

and now so do i. alright, i've rambled and now and i'm becoming redundant and pointless. i guess it's time to sign off.

so what's the point of this blog? i dunno... but hey, at least i've posted a new one this month! i've been slack lately, i know it.
