Blog-osaurus Rex

So I think it's safe to say that it's been too long since I've posted a new blog.  A month...that's a long time to catch up on.  So much has happend.  Where to start?

I guess the last time I filled in the blogosphere of my happenings was when I got back from Geelong with Katy, Andrew and Zeke.  It seems like ages ago.  My life has changed a little since then.

Here's the short version:

First and most importantly!!!  Marcelle coolio has joined the Australian fiesta, and sad to say, our little Española, Maria, has left it.  Also, Matteo, the other roommate at my place has returned from his summer break at home in in Italy.  That's the next news, my place is no longer my place.  I've made the move from my shared double suite with lady Kiernan in Fitzroy to my new pent house suite in Brunswick.  Marcy moved into my side of the bed though, so I still spend plenty of time on that side of town, even though I don't live there anymore.  Oh yeah!  And a got an awesome little bike to transport my sleepy self to work at 7:00am.  I can say, the crisp morning air and freezing hands (because I have yet to get myself riding gloves, lazy as I am) really wakes you up in the morning.  Another major change, I just put in my two weeks notice at my cafe because I managed to land a place where I can get lots of hours, unlike Síyía where I was only getting about 35 hours a week.  I'm definitely going to miss my work mates there, but I think I'm really going to enjoy this new restaurant that I'll be working at (I'll save the in depth story on that place until the next post seeing as I have so much to catch up with this blog).  Actually, I'll save a lot of details until the next blog, including the grand tour of my new place, but all I can say is get ready to be wowed by my new digs and my new housemates.

Oooooh!!!! and more big news!!!! The Canadians are finally joining us.  I'm suuuupppah excited for Cam and CK to get here so soon.  It's 10 days away (or so I've been told).  I'm stoked :-D  More, more and more to come.

Phew, that quick catch up is actually longer than the normal short and sweet posts I'm used to.  This is what you get for procrastinating Andrea.  Ok, here are some photos and their anecdotal captions.

One of Maria's 100 million going away dinners...I think.  There were a lot, so it was sort of hard to differentiate after a while.

Summer is rearing it's lovely little head sporadically in Melbourne.  Maria, about a week before she left us :'-(

A lovely view on one of my last days living at a walking distance from my work.

Beer, laundry and musica in the back yard

I loved that jasmine bush.

Katy at work, serving up her fish and chips.

and Marcelle is here too!!!!

Haha, Maria got drunk at her final going away drinks and accosted the street musician, her favorite drunk pass time. 

A sneak peak at my new digs...aaaand my awesome new bike!!!!

Just something interesting (and a little gross) that made 7:30am a lot more entertaining at Síyía.

Walking to the city with M-cools.

To meet K-dawg for a post work pint on the river.

Just cause Marcy is pretty.
