Many fun things to report! I am still enjoying Sydney! I have made friends with a group of girls who are so fun and enjoy drinking like I do! Last night we went out to a bar which was expensive but fun. It's called Cargo Bar and is on the Harbour. Beautiful views! Some secuirty guard at the next bar told me he should be my boyfriend and then admitted that he was a mere 18 years old. Yeah, no thanks amigo. I finished my beer and made the girls high tail it out of that place moments later.
I went to go see The Help, which was amazing. It made me miss home so much and all I wanted to do afterwards was go listen to Southern accents. It also made me miss home because my movie ticket cost $18. Yeah. JUST the ticket. I wanted popcorn too so two hours of nostalgia cost me $23. I should have stayed home and watched Steel Magnolias ("Shelby!"). I'm just kidding, go watch it. It is a fabulous film. I have to say though, considering that a movie costs 5 dollars in Clemson and 10 in Augusta, nearly $20 for a ticket hurt. Not to mention, apparently CDs cost an arm and a leg too. Craig told me that a new album costs $23. Seriously? Who's music is really worth that? I mean, besides Kelly Clarkson (whose new album "Stronger" drops Oct. 24- go buy it). He got all cross when I told him Target sells new albums for about $13. On the movie subject, I took Karen to see Crazy Stupid Love which is still the best movie ever and Ryan Gosling's abs are still too beautiful for words. Emma Stone is still my hero and everyone should go see this movie. Even if it costs 20 bucks.
Taylor and I went to the Taronga Zoo a few days ago. That absolutely changed my life. I want to work in a zoo at some point. Elephants are the coolest animal ever and I also want a pet tiger and kangaroo. I think we could all get along well. We all have sassy personalities and from what I can tell we all love a good meal.
It looks as though they just lay around for good portions of the day which I can do happily. I am doing it right now actually. Team Ex is gone for the weekend and I am not moving one inch from this couch other than to get food ro change the DVD. Except I barely have to do that since at the moment I am streaming TV online.
The only thing I am missing are all my friends and the cast of Arrested Development. And wine. I have also bought on my Kindle (thanks, family!) Ellen's new book and it is amazing! I often annoy Craig and Karen by laughing about something that they won't get because it's one of those you-have-to-read-the-whole-chapter-to-get-it jokes. I highly recommend it if you just want to laugh.
Earlier this morning I was slightly productive and got a laser hair removal treatment. It was really interesting! Didn't hurt at all and I do believe it will be a lot easier than shaving all the time. A friend told me that they do it here for a great deal less that America and that was pretty much all it took for me to book an
appointment. I have to go again in six weeks so I will keep everyone updated on the process. I am sure you are all riveted with anticipation.
Well, enough of all that. Love. And remember: Tigers are 5-0 and will soon be 6-0 :)
