So I was up at 3am this morning to get ready and be a work by 4am. Oh the joy. I had a shower but for whatever reason I didn't wash my hair. I always wash my hair in the morning, but for some reason today I didn't. Well didn't I regret that...

I had to meet this guy from one of our Vendors at his hotel. He'd never met me before and was looking out for my when I walked into the hotel lobby. He looked right through me though, the only reason I realised it was him was because he had the parts we were ment to be installing. I introduced myself and he said "Sorry, I didn't think it was you." I didn't think much of that. It wasn't until James came down from his room (I know James well) and said to me "What's with the...

Yea! We kicked their butts! We got a try with 2 minutes to go and we WON THE GAME! Yea! We won! It's worth repeating for all you Kiwis! We WON!

I went over to watch the match with a bunch of Kiwis, and I think it's fair to say they were very very pissed off. Especially when I got into the dancing and singing. I was probably risking my life, I was the only Aussie there and there were 10 of them.

The fact that we won in the final mintes of the game didn't help any.

So now it's a nice sunny day for once in Auckland, and I'm all hungover! It was worth it! Aussie Aussie Aussie!

Just got back from our hockey match today. We kicked the other team into the mud 5-0! The team we played have beaten us the other 2 times we played them, so we're getting a lot better! I even managed to help out by scoring a goal about 2 minutes into the second half. Alrighty! It was pissing with rain for the whole match (this is Auckland remember) so I had a real tough time actually seeing anything. Much as I've always bitched and moaned about them it might be time to get myself some contact lenses. I'm sure I can learn to poke myself in the eyes 2 times a day eventually...

I didn't go out last night, I was going to go out with some friends to a party but I was too tired from a long and stressful week. I just stayed in, watched a crappy movie...

People think I'm mad because I just made myself a cup of English Breakfast tea with 3 teabags in it. Is that such a bad thing? I don't think so. It's a really big Mug. Here [link removed] is a photo of the mug in question, just in case you don't believe me. Not that I'd think for a second that you, faithful readers of this huge pile of steaming turd, would think I was lying. Or something.

It's daffodil day today, so I was a good little person and I brought one. Now I look like a stupid idiot with my little yellow flower pinned on me. However, it's quite possible that I still look like a stupid idiot without the flower pinned on me, so prehaps I should just shut up.

Well I think that's it really. I just wanted people's opinion on the whole cup of tea...

Yea! Not a real lot to report to the masses tonight. It's raining like it's never going to rain again... Which is pretty damn typical of Auckland. Work has been really busy, especially today. I'm especially looking forward to Monday when I get to come in at 4am! Yes! I so love my job it's not funny! At least it's Friday tomorrow... I can deal with Fridays.

Just to change the subject totally, Sky Digital rocks. There is a whole bunch of stupid crap on at the moment, including Aliens are coming, and some crazy arse movie about some chick who makes all her friends believe she's a guy. Or something. Things and stuff?

I think I'm dead tired and should probably go to bed. Till then!

Lots of stuff going on today. So much stuff actually that I think I'm about to go mad!

Oh yea, my hair has all fallen off again, as you might well have noticed. I might even get around to dying it blue sometime too if/when it ever grows back.

Feeling much better today! Thanks to all the people who sent me emails and rang me and stuff. Mucho appreciated. Thanks also to the people who sent me bad joke and this list of how to talk like a Kiwi.

Pinky never bothered to show up the other night, slacker!! I think Pinky must be getting very old and crusty in his old age, there was a time when he'd be the first to try and drink everyone else under the table! So me and Ryan had to drink the beer and eat the food. Ryan spent half the night chatting to some girl on the Internet who sent him her picture. I kept trying to tell him it was probably some crusty old man sending out pics, but he didn't believe me. Good luck with that one Ryan! :)

Anyway, it's time to cook myself some tea and get...

Really really crappy day for a number of reasons. Work was pretty busy, one of those Monday mornings from hell. If it could break it broke, and it broke in a big bad way. Plus some other stuff went down too. Email me and I'll tell you about it.


So anyway I've got Ryan over again and we've got some beer and food. We're waiting for Pinky to finish up fixing some dude who has a busted leg and he's going to come over and have a few bevvies too.

Anyway, so that's today. Fuck Mondays. Especially this one.

Peace.

Howdy Ya'll, Its Ryan in downtown Auckland. Chillin at Tims Pad, He is such the domestic. His Place is spotless, cooking is extraordinary, and ever so hospitable........well at least the food was good!! Auckland is sucky as usual but its nice to get away from my grey hotel for a while!

God I hate days like today!! It's just been raining then sunny then raining then sunny. It craps me off. Not that anything really exciting planned or anything, but I can't even go for a ride in this crappy weather. And I really need to get back into riding, I couldn't believe how quickly I got tired running around at hockey yesterday! I've been taking it easy the last few weeks to get over this stupid flu (and I think I've finally one, all praise to Vitamin C) and my fitness levels have dropped badly. At least that's what I'm telling myself. The beer has nothing to do with it...

So all I've done today is sleep and sit around. I didn't hear from Ryan last night, so I don't know what's happening with him. He'll probably turn up today...

Well I think that's about all I wanted to say...
