What's happening
Mo' May anyone?
I'll be growing out the 'stach this month, who's with me? I'll post pictures of my glorious hairy lip approximately every week.
Christchurch Next Weekend
I know there's going to be a few people in Christchurch next weekend, so what's everyone up to? I know there's a party somewhere at some time, but not really clear on the details.
Me and Jill are flying down next Thursday (1st April) and coming back on Monday (5 April). We will probably stay with Martin the whole time (assuming there's floor space for our inflatable bed).

Hey Guys
Long time no see. Just giving an update (I dont have the net at home or at work so I've been slack with elephant etc.) Nicky and I got our own 2 bedder in Brisbane now so we have a spare room (with its own bathroom) for anyone that wants to come visit. Temping at Brisbane City Council but not sure what to do from here, just keeping an eye out for any interesting jobs that come up I guess. Im heading to Adelaide to see family in April so my next trip will be home to catch up with you guys, hopefully in May but June at the very latest so I'll try and time it for when as many people are in the central north island as possible. Where's everyone at in NZ at the moment? You guys keep moving around!
Take it easy guys, oh my number is 043 0100 932 and i guess you put a +61 in front to get a hold of me so text or call me as much as you like, I get a bit of free international calling so if you text me I'll be able to give you a call and catch up.
Oh, my Australian accent is pretty much back 90% or so .... damn it. I still call Jandals Jandals but I'm starting to call Sandwiches "Sanga's' ... dear god.
Leaving Drinks for Martin
Okay guys I propose we all get together (preferably in Tauranga) before Martin heads back down to Christchurch. It's not very often that we can all get together so it would be awesome to try and do so before Martin leaves. I'm thinking this weekend (the 6th) or the next (13th).
Thoughts??

Hey Guys,
Well I'm in Brisbane and although permanent work is hard to get, temp work is still here. I've been picking up a fair bit of it, and about to start a 7 week stint for a web marketing company. The only thing is pay rates for temps (well, the agency that's giving me work) is down from when I was last here but still picking up around $20 an hr. Brisbane is like Tauranga summer at the moment, 28 degrees so its quite nice and I'm about to put my hard earned dollareedoo's into a bicycle to get around the city.
Brad, if you're thinking of coming over you should be able to get work but some temps are going a little light on it so come with some savings/borrowed money just in case and you should be fine, just bullshit some admin/temp experience and put me down as a referee! Anywho, I'd like to be back to catch up with you guys in the next few months so as soon as I find a cheap airfare and a long weekend ill be there.
Take care guys

Foundry Jib '09
Just thought I'd share some pictures from the jib last night at the Foundry (uni pub). The lighting conditions were pretty much as bad as it gets so the whole night was a struggle but I came away with some half decent stuff.





What I'm doing
Okay, so I've got a ton of debt to pay and an uncertain fixed term contract at Kathmandu with hours not exceeding 30 a week so I'm going to try my luck in Brisbane. I'm borrowing some dosh off of Mum and Dad, going to Thailand with them for a little while, then shooting to Brisbane. It's pretty tough there at the moment but my old temp agencies say they should have some work for me and hopefully I can find something permanent while I'm crashing with Stacey. If not, I'll be back! Plan is to head out in mid July, so we should try and have a get together.
Got a Job
Finally got some work. I will be working at the Kathmandu store in the Tauranga CBD starting tomorrow. Woot woot, now I actually will have money to spend.
