I had my hair cut and coloured today by the totally amazing and awesome Jolene. (see http://www.stylecounselnz.com/)
I also have my new glasses which I went to painstaking efforts to decide on frames.
So Melinda took these photos using her computer of me so everyone can see the new “look”

I had a really random kind of day today. I was just tired when I woke up, I don’t function well on little sleep. I just didn’t want to go to bed that early. It was Jason’s last night at the Log Cabin. So the BBQ started at around 9:30pm… which perhaps explains the lateness of my night in general.
I finished off a rather nice bottle of Riesling which T’nealle, Melinda and myself had picked up on the way to a play in the park on Wednesday.
Last night I tried to convince Caroline to take up the Harp…. Canterbury Uni have courses to learn available. Hagley College have courses in how to build your own. Sounds like a cool idea… if I could afford it I’d like to go build my own. Alas I already have too many “things” and I suspect a harp would be another, substantial “thing” to add to my clutter. I know I need to have a garage sale, or sell off stuff. Its just such a big task to decide what I don’t need anymore. Things bought for my previous “home” seem totally irrelevant in a flat.

So the house is a log cabin and villa rolled into one. Guaranteed to be cold in winter, but Eamonn’s dad has provided us with plenty to burn. It is blue, and has a big wisteria growing out front. Apparently the seed pods are velvety… so I won’t be touching them. The grass is a couple of feet tall as we are yet to get a lawnmower to deal to the job. We’re building a vege patch out the back because the yard is sparse so we figured we’d make use of it.
Along one side is a stack of weeds I wouldn’t even begin to dare to tackle…. amongst it is a ping pong table which has seen better days.

So I welcomed in the New Year in Gisborne, there on a road trip with Joff and the Bang Bang Eche crew. It was a pretty good night. Rhythm and Vines however was a weird festival. There were plenty of ups and downs on this trip, but as Joff said, if it wasn’t for all the crazy shit there wouldn’t be any stories to tell people.
My aim for 2009 was to write more about what’s going on in my life… I think its a fairly simple resolution, but for the last couple of years, I have barely “blogged” at all.
2009 has already proved to be a crazy year, probably brought on by the major events that happened in 2008. As pretty much everyone knows by now, Chris and I parted ways… and I’m now flatting again. Its hard to adjust to that, its been nearly 5 years since I really shared a house with flatmates…. James didn’t really count.
