No Worries!

Question of the day: Do Australians really have "no worries" or do they just say it constantly in hopes it will come true?

OK, so if anyone is in Sydney right now for the Museum of Sydney exhibit, Bondi: A biography, they must check out the 16 minute video from the 60s in the theatre! It follows a typical Sydney family on a typical Sunday in the summer. The "Browns" consist of Mom, Dad, older bro, younger bro, and little sis. They enjoy a day at Bondi beach including ogling pretty sheilas, eating a sandy lunch and going for a walk. But, oh no! Little bro is drowning. Not to worry - big bro is a lifesaver and rescues him! Dad angrily asks big bro, "Why weren't you looking after him?" to which big bro replies, "Why did you let him go swimming so soon after lunch?" Dad looks sheepish. Mind you, this is all said in the narrators voice with the actors lipsynching...hilarious! I've never laughed so hard at something that was supposed to be serious. You just have to see it for yourself. Check out the skinny, pale as ghost nerd get the aforementioned sheila while all the beefheads watch in dismay.

I started looking for jobs yesterday (before my lovely excursion to the museum) and there were a couple of promising responses. Basically most said they will be hiring in a couple of weeks, after most students go back to uni. I handed out my resume to about 10 different cafes/bistros. It's my dream to work in a cute, local cafe...or at least it's my dream right now until I actually get the job. Today it's more job searching as the damn clouds are making it hard to actually go beaching. No worries! This weekend is supposed to be nice.

BTW, I forgot to mention that the morning after my gig as tambourine-ist, some guy came over to me in the hostel, showed me the picture in his digital camera and asked if the strikingly gorgeous female in the picture was me. Okay, he didn't actually use those words exactly, but the intent was there...I think. Anyway, indeed he did have a picture of me from the previous afternoon at the Mercantile. So don't be surprised if you happen to see my picture posted all over the internet!
