the.dude's blog post - happy new year

So a new plan. blog often. blog quick. bet i keep this up for maybe a week or so lol

haven’t done much at all last few days. it was hot here for the 2nd and 3rd of Jan, and my house becomes a sweat-box. good for losing weight, not good for anything else. i basically spent those two days in my room trying to sleep, fans on full, and occasionally getting online because it was too hot to sleep.

i worked yesterday. it was pretty quiet thankfully.the people i’d normally get a lift home with (in the car) are on holidays so its public transport all the way for me. it means instead of getting home by 5:30p, i can get home by 6:30p, and because the tram drops me off in front of the supermarket, i’m always tempted to buy fresh food for dinner and stuff like that so its more like 7 before i get home. i have another few weeks of this before my lifts return to work but soon after they do i’m off on my WA2012 tour. i generally say perth tour but i’ll won’t spend much time there at all so it doesn’t really seem appropriate.

i’m kinda looking forward to the trip. it’s speeding towards me now. i think i’m probably putting expectations in my head, which will then not occur, which will then make me disappointed, but trying to avoid doing that. i think when i imagine things, they’re in my perfect world, and then when i get to reality, it’s far from my perfect world, and so the difference is obvious and disappointing. i tend to remember things as they were, and not allow for changes to occur. i remember now i type it, but i always forget how long it takes to get anywhere in perth. i generally like to think if i go to the city, the shops will have all changed and be interesting, but on previous trips, it’s always been the same.i’m sure some of them have had the same stock since i left in 97. i’m learning slowly there’s no real need to leave where i’m staying except to see friends, which is good because when i’m there it is very holiday like and relaxing. if i can find someone to go to the beach with, i might try and do that for a bit. i can’t swim, so don’t go to beaches that much, but the WA beaches rock, and the sunsets are nicer than over here. i used to spend lots of summer nights having dinner at random beach cafes and restaurants, just enjoying a nice fish meal with beer watching the sun go down.

oh i have realized zoro is going to be a problem now i have a holiday planned. the current housemate might be back in sydney by then, and pretty certain i can’t afford a cattery for 3 weeks. there’s nobody living that close either. gotta think on that one.
