Melbourneland

I'm going to Melbourneland. I've booked my flights already, and I plan to spend about 4 days in the southern. I shall visit Nat, Mark and Mel while down there, as well as see some of the city. The last time that I was there, which was also the only time that I've been there, I was about 12 years old and managed to offend an elderly Greek woman. I hope to avoid doing this again.
I will be there from late Friday evening, the 23rd of February, to the evening of Tuesday the 27th of February.
I must remember to inform work of my impending absence.

Il y a beaucoup de temps

Je vais ameliorer mon francais. Kat et moi avons trouve un prof de francais qui va nous aider. Nous l'avons envoye un courriel hier soir et elle nous a repondu aujourd'hui. Je veux aller en France cette annee et je crois qu'il faut ameliorer avant que j'y arriverai. Je voulais suivre des cours a l'alliance francaise, mais je ne peux pas parce que maitenant j'ai des repetitions d'orchestre aux soirs de jeudi et les cours d'alliance pour mon niveau sont aux jeudis. Quel dommage.

J'espere que notre nouvelle prof est tres sympa.

I want to buy a house

I've been watching the property market for a while, mostly watching friends buy things, but I've just seen the perfect property. I want to buy this. It may be slightly out of my price range at the moment, but sometimes you have to pay a bit extra to buy something that you really like, and I'd really like to own Dracula's Castle. Of course, we could then refer to it as Drakeula's Castle.

Forgetful Fred

My sunglasses are missing. They may have gone the way of my bookmark, which still hasn't turned up ('turn up' is a phrasal verb).

I also left my keys at home today, again.

Another Book Review

I finished reading Armisted Maupin's Tales of the City last night. It is a fantastic read, and makes me want to live in 70's San Francisco, specifically as one of the residents of Barbary Lane. I'm recommeding this to anyone who'd appreciate an interesting light read with great plot and fun characters. I always have a dilemma with great books: I want to read them, and find out what's going to happen next, and to see where the characters end up, but on the other hand, I never want to finish them as I find I'm then left with a void in my reading. So, should I read quickly or slowly? Tales is definitely one of the books that fit into this category.
I borrowed Tales of the City from the Brisbane Central Library (the new brightly coloured library in front of the casino) before I found out that Kat owns the whole series and borrowing from her would have been easier than the library (there were a few issues with getting this book from the library, but I won't go into them here).
The book is followed by two more in the series, namely More Tales of the City and Further Tales of the City. I plan to read both of these books as soon as possible and I think I may well want to add this series to my library. After all, one can never own too many books.

Też, skonczyłem czytać książki francuski. Jeszcze nie go lubię, ale on jest lepiej (lepszy?) blisko do koncu.

Pretentious? Me?

I have read on the bus, on the way home, twice this week. Today being the second time. After alighting from the bus, I thought about this fact, combined with the book that I was reading, and decided that there's a chance that I had been engaged in an act of sheer pretentiousness, and therefore hypocrisy. Pretentiousness because the book is a piece of literary wankery, L'Etranger d'Albert Camus, in French, and hypocrisy because I mentioned, on this very blog, my opinion of those who read The Da Vinci Code on public transport.

My bookmark a disparu

I was recently reading a book, as I am literate. Before I started my day's reading, I placed my bookmark somewhere, but now that I have taken a break from the activity, I am unable to find said bookmark. I am aware that it has to be somewhere, because of various laws of physics regarding the fact that matter can neither be created nor destroyed.

I will let you know if my bookmark turns up.

200!

The previous post was my 199th post on this blog, which makes this one my 200th! Yay! It looks like I've reached a milestone because of the round appearance of the number, thanks to our base 10 counting system.
