This is supremely sad to me. I mean, the guy is like 300 years old...should he really be trusted with a rifle? Did this even make headlines in the U.S. because it was only briefly mentioned on Australian news? Somebody has to tape The Daily Show today because I bet Jon Stewart will have a field day with this.
In other non-related news, I spent 8 hours at the beach this weekend (apologies to those who suffered through the blizzard this weekend). I went to Coogee on Saturday and Bronte yesterday. Gorgeous! OK enough, as I feel I have some hate mail coming to me. Let me just say that the rips were so strong it was scary. I went swimming but couldn't stay in too long because the waves were plowing into me. I know, poor me.
Saturday night the house celebrated Anna's birthday, which is really Tuesday. Jaki cooked an awesome dinner and the 6 of us were actually in the same room together for the first time! It was amazing...we had lots of wine and plenty of laughs (which was probably a direct result of the former). It would be cool if we could repeat that every now and then but I doubt it will really happen. Li and Eduardo are kind of hermits as they are always doing work for school and stuff.
Life is really quieting down now that I am no longer a tourist...I may actually be able to call myself a Sydneysider. I won't start work for a few days so I still have this restless "what am I going to do with myself" feeling. Once I start working I'm sure I'll cherish my free time, but now it seems as though the days are really long. I feel a bit lazy and definitely uncreative. This is something I am mourning...my creative side seems to be on vacation as well. I might pop on over to the University and see what's going on in terms of intellectual pursuits. I can't keep going to pubs and the beach all the time. I know it seems like an awesome time, but it gets old really quickly. OK, enough complaining. This is still the best time I've had in a while...
