hi ya!

so myklutziness is definitely starting to show and war wounds from down under are piling up.In the past 2 weeks,I've managed to burn myself not once but twice on my arm at work-- don't ask, i just keep running into the burner i guess-- and i've flown over the handle bars of my bike. i have 2 lovely inch long burns on one arm and a bruised and cut up left hand. i've since given up bike riding.

oh, it only gets better... in hopes of killing ants that were in our dishwasher, i squirted them with dish soap. i didn't think about the repercussions until the washer starting flowing bubbles out the side.it was like something out of a funny movie. but hey, at least i stopped the invasion of ants!!

to top it all off, saturday night we plugged my computer in outside and the entire screen exploded. they have to replace the whole thing. well not like kablam fire, smoke, etc. etc. but there is a huge crack in the plasma now and i sure don't know how it got there... needless to say it's been a great week! my flatmates were taking the piss out of me for all my luck. but i guess you gotta have the bad days to have the good days.

if you can believe it, life is still wonderful as ever. work is good and i'm doing all kinds of fun little things to supplement the income. so, i've tried calling a few of you guys but you never seem to answer. one note, if i do call you, don't ask me to call back in a half an hour --hello! i'mcalling from australia!it's all good tho!

well i'm off to the pub with sara. hope all is well in your parts of the world. i've put a few new pics up but not many as my computer is broken and it's kinda hard to deal with... i've got tons to show-- i'll let you know when they're up. talk to ya later.
