So its been about a week maybe since I last updated. I wasn’t feeling very social on the weekend so I haven’t got too much to report on that front. Spent time with Sarah which is always awesome. On Sunday David and I ventured to Lyttelton for the Street Carnival. It always seems like it would have so much more potential. It always just seems to be some bands at one end of the street, buskers at the other and a few food and such stalls. We had some unexciting tea at the Lyttelton Coffee Co and sweet cake- orange and chocolate mousse cake before going for a walk along the quay. Caroline came round to take us on an adventure to Rapaki- well adventure for David as he’d never been there. It was freezing cold in the water but the sun was glorious.

This weekend is Eamonn’s birthday and Caroline’s annual Tennis and Gin afternoon. I’m guessing it will become Billiards and Gin if the weather carries on being so average. Marc is in town for his sister’s wedding. Its a fleeting visit so again, I suspect we won’t catch up. Although I’ll invite him to the party at ours.

I guess also worthy of a mention is the LYFE Linwood Block Party which I’m helping with on March 7th. The line up is pretty sweet. You should come along, and bring like a 100 friends. That way I’ll look like I’m doing my job properly!

Can you believe its been 2 weeks since camp was over? Yeah, its hard to put camp in perspective with reality. I wish Joff’s SD card would show up. I want photos.

last night we went on a flat and friends outing to Sumner beach to watch the moon rise.
So we waited until 10:20 when I thought the Metservice website said the moon rise would be. So we waited, and waited, and the time passed. David wowed us all with his amazing knowledge of astronomy and such. The moon didn’t rise like we thought it would. David thought it would rise at 10:50. So we waited longer. Apparently when the moon would rise over the ocean it would be magical, and I suspect it would have been.

T’nealle and Kale had scootered out to Sumner, so when we left they didn’t, as Kale’s scooter had broken down.
So they waited, and Kale saw the moon rise over the ocean.
lucky. However by that point I had been in bed asleep for a while

I am just sitting at my desk working away- looking through a property file, and I suddenly had a flashback to going toy shopping as a child. I can’t remember where I was, I think it was in Christchurch but totally unrecognisable to me. It was quite bizarre.
I’m still recovering from camp, perhaps the lack of proper sleep is doing it to me.
Camp, by the way, was totally awesome. It always is. Its not the life affecting event it was the first time I went. Every year its different. I like that. If something happens in 2010 I hope it doesn’t happen until after say, August 2010. I guess that would roughly be when I’m back.

“There’s been enough drama of late for you to appreciate some down time – without it turning to boredom. Being the king/queen of the jungle it would be in line to allow yourself a good dose of pampering.”

Not that I take any heed of horoscopes… they are sometimes funny to read. It is true there has been an endless amount of drama of late. I was lamenting this last night with Melinda, Hollan and T’nealle. I tried to figure out if this was more, or less drama that occurred than when I was last single… and if perhaps ones relationship status opens oneself up to way more drama. Or maybe surrounding myself with drama is a fun way to fill the time between work, and well… my other work. I’m dying to hang out with Netta and Joff for 5 days. It makes Melbourne oh so appealing as a final destination in 2010.

I admit I shouldn’t make any plans, because who knows what this trip will bring up.

I’m listening to my camp mix tape… its kinda broken. Some tracks didn’t write to the CD properly so I’ll have to do it again tonight. I haven’t packed everything properly yet.. I really don’t want a repeat of some of the last trip away I had. Where I just threw random crap, admittedly, drunk, into a suitcase. I blame drinking on a Wednesday night with Jason, Melinda, and Hollan. It was awesome fun… but I felt rotten the next day and looked in my suitcase and realised I’d packed nearly nothing but t-shirts.

I’m really tired. I had an unintentional big night last night. Not like woo wild party night, although it started out looking like it might head that way. I had a few drinks at the RDU meeting at Cartel. It was a nice social time. RDU meetings always tend to be. This one actually had a reasonably small attendance. Perhaps good, considering that Cartel is a shoebox.

Anyway, things just got weird later on, and as always when things go weird… its very tiring and stressful. Just one key thing to note, Todd and his brother James are awesome.

So camp is only a matter of days away. I still haven’t sorted much. There is just so much to do. Being relaxed about it in the past hasn’t worked out too well… having to buy things I didn’t intend cause of bad planning is never really much fun.

Today has really been a struggle to get through. Lately I get to about 3pm and just need a nap. Its not like I’m not getting the right amount of sleep. I just can’t get over 3pm without wanting to shut my eyes and drift off. Last night I dreamed about being called a slacker by my boss. It was quite an unsettling dream. I arrived at work and felt a little like the dream was real.

I know I might not always be on task… but sometimes parts of my job can be very… boring. Its not that I don’t appreciate or sometimes enjoy my work.
