...are longing to stray, right through the very heart of it - New York, New York! I wanna wake up in a city that never sleeps! And find I'm king of the hill, top of the heap! These little town blues, are melting away. I'll make a brand new start of it in Old New York, if I can make it there, I'll make it anywhere! It's up to you, New York, New York! *Jazz Hands* *Kick Line*
Sorry. I love that song. Had to do it. Frank is my hero <3 - I was raised well.
Also, yes I know it's Tuesday. Sorry. I suck. I've been busy, people (aka my grandparents who are the only people who read this).
So this past weekend was cool - Kait, Alexis and I went to Paddy's Market. Now, think flea market/discount-thrift store/Battery Island all at once. It's heaven basically. So we went and did our souvenir shopping (my christmas shopping). We left at 10 and took the MAGIC BUS (292, which makes less stops and gets to the city faster), which would have been all well and good had it been magical and fast instead of the same as the 290. We were good kids on the bus and got up from our seats for a mother and her kids - we're sweet like that. So, we stood near the back door on the bus and Alexis geeked out when she saw her first ever stick bug (think: A Bug's Life). Hysterical.
Ok, please note that you have to walk through Darling Harbour (yes, Harbour) to get to Paddy's. So we were like, oh hey! Let's stop and get another picture at the Real World: Sydney House! THEY TORE IT DOWN. The three of us were like, OMG WTF!? Heartbreaking - good thing we already got one!
Anyway, so we spent a solid 4 hours wandering aimlessly about Paddy's with our lists - until we almost died from exhaustion. So, we came back to DLC and chilled. Karma took its course on Alexis, who killed the poor innocent stick bug, and she had a cockroach in her room because her screen was out. I expertly kill the thing with my 12 dollar can of Mortein Easy Reach Surface Spray Cockroach Killing Spray - which sleeps next to my bed at night. I check my walls and do a thorough search before bed every night - I don't play.
Sunday was a lazy day, we hung out and I caught up on the lectures I missed, as well as studied for my GREs. Monday I went to my internship and then did laundry, read for class and did more GRE stuff - then I got in a verbal match with AES and Wachovia, which is beyond my ability to describe in writing. Today I took a fabtastic nap from 1:15-4:00 because I was up til almost 3 am the night before.
Oh cool news - here to drive you have to have a certain colored P plate - it indicates how old you are. I found one laying on the sidewalk, so now it's mine. HA!
That's all - rough riders OUT!
