See You Next Year!*
Filed under Uncategorized by Kerry at 6:44 pm on Dec 29 2009
I’m bracing myself for the madness of New Year’s Eve in Sydney. Forecast says it’s gonna rain. Legend says we will need to get to our chosen vantage point along the harbour at about 10 a.m. in order to secure a spot. My liver says it hates me. It appears the City of Sydney has really cracked down on allowing people to bring their own alcohol to the parks along the harbour. This very handy map on the city’s web site has been invaluable in scouting out which places (very, very few) allow BYO alcohol. The good news for those with bottomless pockets is most spots are selling alcohol and food. We’re still opting to go to one of the BYO places though, since we’re planning on being there upwards of 14 hours I can only imagine what kind of bar tab I’d acquire in 14 hours. The first fireworks display starts at 9 pm and my goal is to still be coherent for that one. Not making any promises for the midnight fireworks.

If you’re not following along with Mandi’s blog in addition to mine, I suggest you read her latest post about our temporary roommate. Our real roommate is traveling for 3 weeks and rented out her room to this complete freak in the mean time. This guy is a goldmine for quotes and I’m sure he’ll be prominently featured in some of my future blog posts (example: last night he told Mandi he was still hungover from the night before because he was staring at titties all night in the strip clubs. EW!).

*It’s always annoyed the crap out of me when someone says “see you next year!” right before New Year’s and think they’re being oh-so-clever.

So sorry you have to live with a complete douche. I jumped over to your friend’s blog and was reading all the things he had said…it reminded me of this guy I knew at one point…
He was a pilot, because he had taken flying lessons
A professor of Quantum Physics, because he had watched “What the bleep do we know?”
A ballroom dancer, because he had taken lessons
A knight…yes, a knight like Elton John…why I have no idea
An IT professional, a Mason, and had a long resume’ but never had a job the whole time I knew him other than at UPS.
And perhaps the best…an astronaunt…because he had been to space camp.
Yes, there are absolute crazies in the world.
Hope you have fun on New Year’s eve!

I want to see pictures of this guy. I hope you and Mandi keep the posts coming as they have become part of my daily repertoire of time wasters. Let me know how getting a new dryer comes as well.
