Ok, I have no idea what or who a Dizzee Rascal is. But aparently he also has a song called Holiday. Perhaps it's because he lives in a hole and didn't realise that Madonna had already done it. And, unlike her deep and meaningful lyrics about how 'nice' and 'world changing' a holiday can be, his much more powerful rhymability almost makes me want to turn this blog in to a poem as I resume my holiday story telling...
Day Five (Wednesday, cos I'm starting to lose count):
Wednesday was a down day. A day to remind myself that I was on holiday. It is not worth writing about. But looked a little like this:
Now, I hope you're not trying to be smart and read between the lines here. Day five was a glorious day of laziness. And the words? Well, they are the stamps I bought from Typo the previous day which I spent the day practicing to use strategically in the work place.
Day Six (Thursday):
Drove in to the city and parked at Docklands for the cheap parking. Decided to go the opposite way around the loop (just to spice things up, cos that's how I roll). Met a friend at Flinders and hoped to catch some comedy in Fed Square. But it started pouring down rain. So we went to the Disney exhibition instead. This was another reminder of how much more exciting things are when the internet is not your best friend. It was enjoyable. Some very interesting reading. But had I not already been in the city and wanted to know more about Walt Disney, I woulda just Googled it, scanned the pages for 3.5 minutes until I picked up on the main details, and moved on, possibly after a making some witty comment on Facebook showing how knowledgable I was (which a real friend would have picked up as meaning 'I've just been on Google').
The rest of day six included food court dinner at Southbank where I was reminded how much I love dreadlocks, but could never really bring myself to date anyone with them. We then walked all the way back to Docklands - that was exhillerating, and came back to Soleil's to play lame wii games.
Day Seven:
Friday began with a drive in to the city to drop Soleil at McDonald's to catch a ride in a Kombie with a band headed to a festival in Byron Bay. Yes. My story = pale in comparison. It was just as expected. Kids material 'curtain' on the back and side windows. Cloud of smoke. Ranga wearing thongs. Would a better friend not have pushed her into this van? Meh, she needed the excitement of it all. And I wasn't invited, so someone had to have a cool story to tell. I haven't heard from her in a week. I do hope everything's ok.
After going all the way back out to the burbs, showering, waking up etc, I decided to head back in to the city to meet a friend from high school. A friend who actually blogs interesting stuff (see sidebar - Carly). I drove half way in to the city and caught a train the rest of the way. I was surprised that I still actually miss public transport. Found my friend in the city. She doesn't look a day older than she did in high school, except she has much better taste in clothing than our daggy uniforms. I love those catch ups that just feel easy. She was great to talk to, and shop with. Hence - picture three - the most beautiful red shoes I've ever seen (perhaps slightly prettier in real life).
Carly and I grabbed some food together. She took me to a Vietnamese place. Vietnamese is Yum. I facebooked that I ate Vietnamese. The food, not the people. No-one got it. I was reminded of how nerdily unfunny I am. Carly took a pic of her food and I felt like a celebrity - like I might be part of her blog (not like the lame way she is part of mine). I was soooooo excited. We contemplated comedy, but I could sense she didn't want to make me feel any worse about my unfunniness, and so we went to a movie instead. Limiteless is cool! I tried to explain the storyline to someone who admitedly was kinda distracted. But it came out something like: "it's a movie about a guy who takes drugs and everything gets better and then it's the end." But it was much more exciting than that. So exciting in fact that I can't even explain it.
Day whatever:
I'm so bored writing this blog (possibly because it's 3am) so I doubt you are finding anything worth reading. So I will resume the rest of my holiday goodness in a future blog...
