The Aftermath

So Anna and Rob have headed off to whatever godforsaken country they come from and things are getting back to normal here in Queeenstown. Twas a good two weeks while they were here, lived up the Queenstown lifestyle, drinking, parachuting, racing through canyons at high speed in jet boats. I am trying to put up pictures on bebo but am being stymied by damn computers at every turn.

So i have decided that i am going to head back to Dunedin for a few days just to chill out before i come back here next week and start looking for a job. A big reason i am leaving is that i am staying in the hostel of death here at the minute. Its around 30 years old and i dont think has ever been re-decorated. The walls are all covered in carpet and condensation drips from the roof, mildew is everywhere and the service is shit. I got no sheets or duvet for my bed and had to hunt them down myself as management vanishes and reception closes at 7 in the evening. God it is so dingy, perhaps i will put up some pictures of that just to show you what i have to put up with. Whats worse is that it is being demolished in two weeks so they just do not give a shit anymore, it is no shit that its not part of any of the hostelling groups so no discounts and so it is also one of the most expensive hostels that i have stayed in. Ridiculous.

Ya so i am heading down to Dunedin and am tres excited about that one, going to be a nerdy one. Going to see Transformers again as last time i had a fidgety Anna and Rob tossing and turning and bitching at me, philistines, and i also have tickets booked to see the new Harry Potter movie on Saturday, that should be a lorra fun.

lookat me! ive got internet access! im in the ul postgrad computer room. its strange, i thought i had never been here before but now that i am i'm looking around and i realise that i was. i was here til eleven oclock the night before my applied maths exam with hugh o'connor. we were practising questions for the leaving cert. and good job we did too. its been five years since then. mad mad mad

anyway, lets talk about you. paul paul paul. paul paul paul paul paul. paul paul paul paul paul paul paul paul paul paul paul. paul. paul.

now that we're done with the formalities let's go back to me. or actually let's not cos i'm going to study injunctions and right now the balance of convenience favours that i should get back to the books, which is ironic because although the relief is interlocutory i feel anything but relieved. it's a pun you see.

by the way, who the hell is rob? as in "rob and anna"? i remember you telling me about anna but this rob character is a new one on me. you know far more robs than i do. i don't like unexpected irish people cropping up in your blog paul. get back to unexpected forners. that's why you're there and i'm here.

by the way, the card was swell. h istil lhaven tha d achanc et ocrac ki tthoug.
