Vivre Sa Vie: November 2009

Monday, November 23, 2009

Went to Greenhills Beach with Nath. He whinged about driving so I told him to pull over and I would drive, just to shut him up, and he actually did. What a child.
Watched the insane school sports that were taking place all over the beach, while Nath read the new Wheel of Time book out loud to me.
Picked Nath's little sister, Jessie, up from school and took her home to Kurnell to visit his Dad and Sue.
Carlie and Michael picked me up and we went for pre-show dinner at "the best chicken burger shop in the world" in Petersham. Ritz Chix is still better in my opinion.
Went to see Blitzen Trapper at The Metro with Carlie and Michael, partners in crime. Nice to see Lewis and Nina there. Blitzen were so good live. Shame about the poor ticket sales.

Hung out with stay-at-home-study Nathan
Boost close. Spoke to Matt about the girls. Eek
Found Stelzer and Mia in the mall and decided to see The Time Traveller's Wife with them
Karaoke at Northies minus the karaoke with Ian, Nikki, Mia, Mickey and my sister
Mia drove me home and we had a good ol' car chat.

Carlie came to hang out at Nath's with me and we tried on my new bustiers! Trying to work out a Disney costume for Ange's party.
Decided that Nath needed a hair cut for his job interview, I needed conditioner and M&M's for my gumball machine, Carlie and I both wanted to go to Camera House and we all needed lunch, so up to Miranda we ventured.
Nath's first haircut since his youth was less displeasing than he imagined. XQuisito's was awesome and I was lectured by the Camera House guy for buying my camera from overseas. But I did buy a camera bag. Goodbye shitty Supre bag.
Back to Nath's to sit on the deck in the afternoon sun and try out the zoom of my camera.
Tried to help Nath study for his job interview test with my old Geography skillz.

Woke up so early, got dressed, retrieved my phone and walked to the station for a gross trip home
Felt incredibly shit and tried to sleep
Worked at the Bistro and thought I was going to faint
Carlie and Michael met me for lunch, but I couldn't go to the Newtown Festival as planned due to intense hangover
Nathan picked me up and I slept all afternoon and into the night.

Went to Amy's to get a CF card for the camera. She only had a 16MB card, so we could take 5 or so photos, but better than nothing!
Boost Juice close
Caught the train into Central and went to go to Cam's, but found Dee, South America and Josh on the way, so detoured to Chingalings
Back to Cam's for drinks and Connect 4
Uncomfortable snooze on the couch. Set my alarms for an hour and a half's time to get the train home early.

Caught the train into Central with Nath, Amz a couple of cameras and a tripod. Feeling Video Production nostalgia
Interview with Emily and Raquel for FBi website. Their place was incredible
Antique shopping and coffee with Amz
Met Nath and caught the train home
Found my new camera had been delivered. A little too late unfortunately.

Another lovely day at Boost Juice, Cronulla.
Had to work pretty much all day so Matt could go to the members stand at the races for Melbourne Cup.
Was an outrageous 38 degrees! What the heck. Obviously, the place was flooded with tourists and busloads of mingeful Shire and non-Shire folk. TORTURE.
Had my break, ate a cheesburger, lie on the floor and thought about quitting for the millionth time. It's shifts like these that make me hate everyone and everything.
Caught a train to Kirrawee and met Nathan. Home for more thai and some recovery time.

Recovered from my weekend with an all day shift at the Bistro. Kill me.
Preparation for Melbourne Cup in the kitchen enforced an obstacle course. Just what I wanted.
Stupid new girl didn't check the roster, so I scored Mia a shift! Yay. She was a slavery natural.
Nathan picked me up and the three of us chillaxed on the couch. Best part of the day until...
I got home and received my Virgin Suicides and Pierrot Le Fou books. Awesome.

Woke up at Ange's again. But far more hungover.
This time I knew I wanted longer before my Boost torture, so left earlier and squeezed in a nap at home.
Boost torture was worse than expected. Had to keep all of the girls back and we still got out late. Insanely furious.
Nathan picked me up and we got Jai Dee Thai. My garlic and pepper beef didn't taste as good as normal. Another downer.
Sleeptime.

Woke up at Angela's and trekked it back from St Peter's with the girls.
Nathan picked me up and we hung out for one hour before I had to depart for a torture session at Boost.
Back to Ange's family house for Jaimie's 19th and Halloween prep. Dalmation costume as last resort. But killer eyeliner!
Halloween rampage with Ange and Nicole from Jaimie's 19th to a 21st at The Oxford to Pazza's party in Bondi.
Stayed at Ange's again. Dreading the Groundhog Day of tomorrow.

Went to the hairdresser and became even blonder. Didn't think I would ever end up this light of hair.
Paid for the Canon 7D! Eek. So poor now.
Read my horoscope by Susan Miller. Freakily accurate. Thanks Deej.
Sunbaked on the concrete of Nath's backyard, while reading another Tao Lin book.
Stayed home with Nathy, instead of hitting up the town with Amz to celebrate her finishing uni.
