HAPPY NEW YEAR!!
my one and only resolution
to blog
it cant be that difficult...right? but as we have all seen from the previous 9 months (yes, 9 months and how many posts have i published???...) i guess it IS that difficult.
i am going to say i will plan on blogging...oh...at least once a week. honestly, my life isnt that interesting. mon-fri = work, gym, home. saturday and sunday maybe something fun. in the end i only constructed this blog to keep my fam and friends posted on what was happenin' in Australia.
I just returned to Australia from a month of work/fun travleing. France, Spain and the US. now i need a holiday from my holiday. but its back to the grindstone because i am going to Germany in 10 days or something like that (for work)...and my compounds arent ready yet.
i will post pictures next time i blog...waaaaay too much to attempt to do before the trip.
peace out!

posting again!!
Tuesday May 27th 6pm
Remember a few posts ago when i said it was fall and cold...well i lied. Its almost winter and not cold. When i wrote that post it had been raining forever and thats why it was chilly. its been like a splendid northeast spring day ever since. the breeze makes daytime a little brisk, but not the fall brisk those of us from the northeast are used to.
this fall is a fraud! its not fall! its fake fall! thats alright. i will just appreciate autumn much more when i get back to the states. it is my favorite time of year...aside from summer...summer is always fantastic! i am however, not looking forward to summer here; its supposed to be really hot and humid. i am sure i will be posting my misery when that time rolls around.
today is tuesday...so we all know what that means...MOVIE NIGHT! yay. theres a handful of us from Uni going to see Indiana Jones. It better be worlds better than last weeks movie.
i have also been feeling a bit nostalgic i suppose and have been trying to find people from my past on myspace and facebook and whatnot. perhaps it might be my way of dealing with a mild case of homesickness.
Mohammad and i went out friday night to Pavillion in the city. He was amazingly indecisive that night and didnt know if he wanted to drive in or take the bus. so we get in the car and drive to the petrol station so he can fill up so we can drive to the city. then he decided that it would be a better idea to take the bus. so in the end we just got in his car to put petrol in it...BUT i like to think there is a reason for everything. the petrol station had a car wash...here it is...
If we did not drive to the petrol station just to get petrol...we wouldve never seen the Ho wash!!
Sunday, I met up with Erin and we went to Paddys market. i bought some socks. we tried to haggle a little because thats what you do at the market...but they werent having it that day. perhaps we need to practice a little more. There were Chinese dancers on the sidewalk (Paddys is in Chinatown) and they were performing for donations for the earthquake victims.
Some of you have been yelling at me a little cuz i dont post pictures of myself. But, in my defense it is difficult to get in the picture you are taking!! i promise i will try to do better. for now i will post i picture i took of myself in my bathroom on saturday night. yes, i was absolutely bored and attempting to amuse myself.
Hello everyone!!!

a welcomed theobromine overdose
Wednesday May 21 2008 410pm
Yes. i just posted. but i have actual stories to tell now! i figured it would be good to separate the ShoutOuts or the post would be very long and no one would read.
A bunch of us from Uni went to a Sydney Swans game at the beginning of the month. They are the local AFL (australian footbal league) team. Looks like rugby, same ball as rugby, but not rugby. Its Aussie rules. Basically, these tall, skinny, muscle guys run and kick the ball to each other on a round field. the point is to kick the ball through the two tall posts at either "end" of the circle. its really a fantastic, fast paced game. virtually no penalties and the guys throw each other around and fight for the ball and everything. best part; no padding or helmets!! Also, since i am not a student i had to get an adult ticket. There were only two of us there with adult tickets, the rest were student tickets...naturally they called us mommy and daddy the whole trip. kinda cute. the names seem to have stuck; at least in my research group anyway.
Went to the movies to see Iron Man. Mohammad likes to remind everyone he is gold titanium alloy man. funny funny. Good movie. That movie i was happy to see in the theater. Stoj, Eli, Mohammad, Grace and I also went to see Shutter. Awful. Please dont waste your money. Dionne, i know you LOVE horror movies; i promise this one is a waste of your time. Honestly, just watch The Ring and The Grudge back to back.
Heres Eli, Stoj, Mohammad and Grace last week when we all went out to dinner. we then went to Brighton Beach or La Peruse Beach (they all run together, i dont know where one ends and the other begins!)
I also want to send a big big terrific hello and thank yo to Nina! ha! she sent me a care package from da 'Cuse and it was everything a NYer in Sydney could ever want. Yummy chocolates (most of which have been consumed by now) of the exotic variety and Reeses!! There isnt any peanut butter & chocolate here...i have to combine Nutella and peanut butter myself! Neosporin (cuz im not going to a doctor for a prescription!) salt (if you know me, you know i hate salt and i hate it when YOU use too much salt!) oh and THANKS MATT; Nina said the salt was your idea! and a squished space needle penny. I adore squished pennies. Also included was a card hand made by her sister. Its not in the photo, but shoulda been, cuz its so darn cute!
Work has been going ok. The porous formates continue to be stubborn and do not want to be prepared. I am getting a quad box in order to do some calculations. thank goodness; progress here i come!!
miss you all and love you
