Poor blog. I’m so sorry I’ve neglected you. Obligatory catch-up update, in point form:
- Saw Patrick Wolf on the Wednesday in Sydney. Amazing! Tremendous amount of talent. My overall most-played artist on Last.fm for a reason. I swear he looked right into my eyes at various points during the gig, although I did not check if there was anyone hot standing behind me.
- Honourable gig mentions to John Mayer and Jay Brannan, who I also got a chance to see. Seeing John Mayer live reminded me of why I liked him so much. When he acknowledged his recent douchebagginess, I couldn’t help but immediately forgive.
- Jay Brannan performing Bob Dylan’s Blowin’ In The Wind is something I won’t forget soon. Absolutely beautiful.
- I’ve ported my mobile telephone service to Telstra. A huge debacle, spanning 19 Nov 2009 up until 7 Dec 2009, approximately 10 outbound calls, 4 inbound calls, 5 sent emails, 3 received emails and 5 store visits. PlanetISP (my previous provider) can go fuck themselves for not telling me my correct account number and providing me with false assurance that my account number was updated, when it was in fact not.
- I have won one game of squash! Quite happy with this achievement, considering how terrible I was. Won’t quantify the number of games I’ve lost (but it’s around the pretty-much-every-other-game mark).
- I’ve competed in two dragon boat regattas! Most recent one was the 500m on Sunday. I paddled in all four heats, second row in three of them (pressure, pressure, all that pressure, timing, timing, timing). Didn’t make the finals, but our second heat was definitely on the faster side.
- Possibly related to the above two points, I have had comments from friends saying I look more “buff”. This is a positive development, as someone who could previously squeeze through fences. Although, I met up with a different group of friends who said I looked thinner and asked if I was OK?! Colour me confused.
That’s it!
