The boaties at the rob roy

3 March 2006 11:08pm (i bought a watch, so i know now!)

it's been a very strange time the last few days and weeks. lots of emotional shit, which thankfully is passing, and a very difficult time, but also lots of fun in other ways.

we're in melbourne. Actually we're at a boat people gig, and we've just been hanging out with james.

i've tried to post a photo with james, but true to form, i'm having dramas with posting photos. we'll see.

i feel like melbourne is so much like brisbane. the people and plaves, to me, are so similar. that, and talking to james about people from home has made me feel a bit homesick for the first time. i think it's partly because we're starting to settle, we're in a city again (with live music, hurrah!) and making comparisons with home is natural. for those of you who know melbourne, we're living in west melbourne, a few blocks from the Vic Markets, very near the city.

We're currently living with 5 other people, a cat (named puss puss), and a dog (named puppy). puppy is just like a small version of my dog, doc. probably another thing contributing to homesickness. oh well, it will pass.

we nabbed some boaties posters to decorate our very bare walls and some street press with kate on the cover.

oh, i forgot to mention, until the 2 awesome brazilian chicks move out next week, liz and i are sharing a room yet again. oh well, at least it's cheap.
