Alice, will you marry me?

June 30, 2008

Alice Springs, that is.
It’s a small town, bite-sized really, but I am enjoying her quite a bit even though I’ve only been here for an hour or so. I will elaborate upon this idea, as well as upon the long train ride I took to get up here, once I have the chance to sit [...]

G’day from ADELAIDE, South Australia!

June 28, 2008

It’s been a long couple of days. Or should I say, “single extended day”. On Friday I set my alarm to wake me at 10:00 so I could go run a bunch of errands, and due to some crazy (probably human) error I didn’t wake up until NOON. I had been intending to be moved [...]

Taronga Zoo, and the Sydney Harbour Bridge

June 27, 2008

This will probably be my last post from Sydney – at least, the last from what has been my home for the past four and a half months. I’m not sure if I’ll be able to post pictures over the next month, but I will definitely be blogging from all over the continent and beyond. [...]

24-Hour Theatre – My Brain is Full!

June 26, 2008

Phew! I’m finally getting caught up on my blog entries, so sorely neglected thanks to end-of-school stuff and my desire to, immediatley afterward, spend an inordinate amount of time drinking. I’ve been looking forward to this one. There are only a couple of pictures, because being a genius and having spent the past week on [...]

Artsy Stuff

June 24, 2008

I have an entry in the works about the 24 hour theatre, but I need a little more time. So for any of y’all who are interested, here is the paper that I wrote about the crazy calculator piece of “modern art” that y’all helped me create. One of my terms when I asked for [...]

Western Australia, Part 4 (final) – The Voyage Home

June 22, 2008

On Wednesday morning I got up at the crack of 8 o’clock, once again with little to no trouble. (Apparently a vacation means, to me, the EXACT OPPOSITE thing from regular folks – I normally wake up at noon and stay up until 4am, but go on holiday and I am up at 8 and [...]

Western Australia, Part 3 – Walking in the Trees

June 21, 2008

Before I hop into my narrative, I just want to quickly say – I just got back from going to see a really fun production in Newtown with the Script Frenzy folks. I had a great time and it was wonderful to see everybody again. I’m going to see if I can scheme a way [...]

Western Australia Part 2 – Travel Insanity

June 20, 2008

I will admit it: I have major travel anxiety. Kind of ironic for someone who loves to travel, I know. Some people get their kicks and eventual endorphin rush from skydiving or whitewater rafting. I get it from learning to navigate the transportation system of parts unknown. There is a heady satisfaction to be found [...]

Western Australia, Part 1 – My Crush on Perth

June 18, 2008

By the time I was ready to catch my flight to Perth last Sunday my sleep schedule was completely turned around – I was going to bed at 7AM and sleeping through most of the day. The rainy weather in Sydney and rapidly shortening days didn’t help, either. Since I needed to catch a bus [...]

Yes, I am alive…

June 18, 2008

Not much of an update for today – I’m finally home again, just in time to suddenly become busy with final school projects and studying for that one exam. As of 11AM tomorrow I will be free of all school obligations until September (except for maybe choosing some different courses – we’ll see.) When I [...]
