fat gecko

A fat and exotic looking gecko I spotted pathside while climbing in the Grampians. He sat long enough for a photo, then something in my precariously balanced pack fell to the ground, and he ran away. Not to be disloyal to my geckoes, but he did look very pretty.

Washington DC update – Still no word on plane tickets, so not sure when I’m going.
Weather update – Hot. My weather pixie has actually stripped down to a singlet. Jumping in a pool tonight.
Woody update – Construction hasn’t started yet.
Weird behaviour update – Saw a lady walking down Rathdown St in Carlton, wearing black one-piece swimmers and a bright pink towel. This was not an area where you’d usually see people walking around in bathing attire. It was not a particularly hot day. It was odd.

excitement and helium balloons

Will the excitement never end? My visa has arrived. With it’s blurry black and white photo, and it’s inexplicable squiggly lines and colours. This means I may well be heading to Washington DC in a week or so (emphasis on the “or so” from past experience).

So I have introduced some kitch little weather pixies down at the bottom of the sidebar. They will show me how much nicer the weather in Melbourne is, while I’m trying not to freeze to death in DC. I will be in DC for about 6 months though, so towards the end of my time there, it’ll probably be the other way around. The only problem with all of this is, that I’m going to have to remember how to work hard again, instead of spending my hours procrastinating on the internet because I don’t really have anything to do anyway.

despite the fact i’ve not been working for the past month, i’ve still not managed to do any work on this site. most likely because i have vague plans of updating somehow, but i’m not sure how (using moveable type, or one of those new fangled applications – mt wouldn’t agree with my host for some reason, and the other thing i tried was just plain annoying). anyway, i’ve added to the russell the peak bagging moose page. meanwhile, it’s looking more and more likely that i’m going to have two winters in a row – yes, just as we’re hitting spring here, i’m getting set to go off and work in washington dc for up to 6 months. i hear it’s cold there.

i shall now cycle back home again and go on a pants hunt.

note to self: must stop writing posts about the fact i haven’t posted in ages.
