12:46love and loathing in somerset
Seeing as I couldn't find the internet software CD for me to connect online at the friend's place that I'm renting out for the week, I'm here blogging, blog-hopping, assignment-researching, and generally online-ing from the semi-comfortness of the uni's computer lab facilities.
Yes, dear readers. I am living by myself. All alone. No one to catch me when I trip and fall or help with the dishes and cook or fetch the extra key in case I managed to lock myself out. I am independent. But only for the week till I leave for sunny Brisbane and Gold Coast on Saturday.
The location is perfect. I'm on the highest level of the apartment I'm residing in, there's electricity, water, television, DVDs, bed, kitchen, and privacy. Let me reiterate that. P-R-I-V-A-C-Y. It does feel nice living by myself for a change. Being able to make my own pre-cooked meals, going out in my lousiest of clothes to get a cup of skinny Mocha that I couldn't be bothered to make myself in five minutes tops. A street away is a shopping mall, and down the other way is another shopping district with abundance of food and drinks to wet my palette and ensure that I never go hungry.
Downside of course is that I don't get to see much of society and or my friends as I usually am used to back in IH. But I can adapt.
The Royal Melbourne Show is opening tomorrow and a bunch of people including myself will be going to the show grounds tomorrow all day. Should be a bit of fun and all that jazz with rides, shows, performances, food and drinks all day.
The new 'Fifteen' restaurant by Jamie Oliver is opening today in Collins Street, Melbourne. I really want to experience a posh dining style of eatery but doesn't look like it's going to happen anytime soon. Seems like the place is packed but hopefully I get to glimpse a little of Jamie tonight when I pop over there to sneak a look. I'm such a foodie whore.
I really want and is in desperate need to go to a concert. Any concert will be fine. I've already missed out on Kanye West, Dashboard Confessional, Snow Patrol, Jason Mraz, and John Mayer who've all been here since the past two or three months. I am so deprived of any cultural or social interaction with the outside world besides uni and IH.
What is happening to me? The next band or singer coming here, I'll be there with cam in hand and lungs to scream.
Anyway, I have to be going now. Work is beckoning to me and I can't afford to slack any longer. Ta for now.
