touch rugby

I somehow managed to get tackled during my last TOUCH rugby match. Some guy though it would be a good idea to run straight towards me at speed while I thought it would be a good idea to hold my position on the tri line. The good news is that they didn't score on that possession (we still managed to lose the game), that I walked away from the incident, and that the guy apologized repeatedly. The bad news is I came away from that game with a jammed finger, a bruised knee, and a scratched shin. I'll spare everyone the pictures, but my finger is still probably twice the size it should be. So much for touch, eh?

I do think that I gained a bit of respect from me team that night. It hurt, but there was no way I was not walking that one off...

Australia is...

beautiful extreme (google: 'Australia & poisonous'; image search: 'Australia & outback') unique from any place i've ever seen similar to every place i've ever seen simple and laid back difficult and uptight lonely eye-opening ...

i saw a 'roo!

Brendan and his parents came out to visit last weekend, which was fantastic! I love it when I have people to hang out with in this country!! Saturday, I attempted driving for my second time to go to the airport and pick them up. Crazy right-sided driving on the left side of the road. Still incredibly difficult! I must have let my guard down a bit though b/c I got honked at more this time than last. I also got a pretty good piece of a curb (I hope Mark doesn't read this...). It also didn't help that on the way back from the airport, we had 4 people and 8 suitcases in one car. Brendan decided to use his parents as luggage mules, so that we don't have to ship our toys via the boat. I have no idea how I am going to move out of my serviced apartment by myself now based on the amount of stuff in there... Saturday we went to a few house inspections (Fitzroy) and then wandered through QVM and the CBD. We saw Fed Square, the Yarra River, the Docklands... we had beer and coffee spora...

Big news

I am officially a terrible blogger. Lots of stuff has happened since my last post: - I downloaded the photos from gliding, but I didn't bother to post any (I'm still planning on doing this) - I've been working (a lot) - Brendan came for another visit. We drank and ate and listened to music and just generally caught up. It was lovely. - I've seen more varieties of Australian spiders in my apartment than I knew existed. - I've given up my no drinking alone policy (largely because of the above item) - I've finalized my latest two conference papers And...drum roll, please... - my NZ visa was approved! My next adventure is near.
