I haven't written my diary in quite a while, so I thought I'd better get around to updating it. Well, what's been happening around here? Hmmm, not very much, but lets try to start somewhere.
I'm currently broke and incommunicado, I paid another $1000 worth of rent after I got a nasty letter from the accountant. I suppose it's a kick in the pants for me to get my payments ahead, but having no money isn't too much fun. It's character building I admit, but don't we just all hate that. ;)
I had lunch with Nikki last week, she is well and moving into a new house quite soon which is good. I haven't heard from Szusza in quite a while, but it is my turn to email her anyway.
Last Friday (1st) I sent Sarah some flowers as an early birthday present and to let her know I was thinking of her. She has been promoted at work so that is good to hear.
Down here I have been working on half a dozen things, OMNO 17 is still here. I'm continuing to have problems with my reaction scheme and that's annoying the hell out of me no end. I also have to work on my annual report as well as my mid-term seminar and report. So it's continuing to be rather stressful down here.
On a different note L- and H- broke up. Just to prove how far removed from the information cycle I am, I had to hear it 4th hand. Apparently L- explained what was going on to everyone except for yours truly which left me a little miffed considering I am supposed to be friends with both of them. Anyway, I don't know why it happened, but it did.
I got a few emails from Soba who is horny and going out of her mind in SA. I was tempted to send her a vibrator, but I didn't have any money. I'm not sure whether she would have appreciated the humor.
What else? Dad came over on the weekend to drop off the laptop for my power-point presentation, and we went to the War Memorial Technology Center which was quite good, he enjoyed it very much.
Jules helped me to download and view the pictures which Charles sent me from Brazil, he looks quite well and is obviously continuing to have a good time.
Had coffee with Red and Susan on Friday which was nice. Hadn't chatted with Red in about two weeks. She sort of going out with Jenny who is a Uni student at ANU, and they seem to be getting on quite well.
