Sunday 12th April

Hidey Hi!!!
It's Sunday. Easter. The day that Christ reawakened, I think. My holiday knowledge is fuzzy. But I DO know that today is my brother's birthday, so will everybody please give a round of applause for Dan making it to 22 years of age.
I will speak to la famille later today, hopefully. Having a few Skype problems, but sorting them out as I type.
I mentioned a plan, of walking around the coast to another city? Well, I had a "practise" the other day. I walked for four and a half hours, and I think I managed just over 18km in that time. Now I need to know distances to other places, cost of backpacks and tent, and then calculate how long it should take me. Then I can work out how much food to carry. Water is the problem, I'll be walking along roads without shops for quite a while. But I can buy some water cleansing pills, or even some filter paper and a funnel, and then filter seawater. Problems and methods, see?
Everyone is out drinking tonight, but I'm not with them. Didn't feel like it. I haven't gotten drunk in at least two weeks now, that's not bad in an environment where there is ALWAYS at least three people planning on getting drunk a night.
I worked Thursday and Saturday, and I have work for this Tuesday, so I'm happy with finances for this week. And I plan to pawn some stuff I have on Wednesday, and get a haircut. Guh, plans all round at the moment.
In technological news, my DVD player on my laptop might now be truly buggered. It won't recognise DVD's at all, something which vexes me. It vexes me right off.
Ok, I need to get back. I'll get a phone call soon, and I need to take it.
Speak soon y'all.

Heya people.
Not much to say. I've managed to find work the last few days, some good jobs. Yesterday I worked for a company that made beer and then sold it on to smaller companies, to sell on again. I was in a huge garage, just moving stuff around, and I came out of the work with some shiny notes, a new small backpack and free bottles of beer. And today I worked for three hours for $80 (score), for the guy I worked with a few weeks ago in the crazy pot shop. But today we were demolishing an apartment. Handyman jobs are great! I was given a mallet, and told to break some walls.
Oh yeah, I got a haircut. I don't like it, it's too short. Here's a tip; never piss off an italian barber, holding a razor. Scary stuff. "That doesn't look like the pictures."
"What? You tella me to cut it, and it looks like-a that. Look at it!"
"Oh yeah, it does look like that..."
What a woos.
Anyway, still saving up money to get out of this crazy city. I might need to get some money from my home account, to pay for the flight change. So I'll be in touch.
Ok people, speak soon, I'm ill and annoyed. (Bad work session this evening.)
See ya.

Warro everyone!
I almost didn't leave a post today, but then I remembered I had some big news to write.
Yah, haha, I bought a tent and camping supplies today. Oh my, it's amazing what people will get rid of when they move off... I bought:
A tent, sleeping bag, camping stove, pans, sleeping mat and some plates, all for $50.
Woop! Now I can investigate camping sites around Sydney, see if I can stretch the savings even more by only paying one or two nights accomodation in a hostel, the rest I can slum it in my new pimp shack. It's a pimp shack, not a tent, because lots of people in a campsite have tents, but I'm guessing few of them have pimp shacks. I might hang some beads from the centre poles, and maybe steal a tiki torch, haha.
Anyway, this brings me a huge deal closer to my walking trip, all I need now is a backpack, and I'm on my way to getting that. A friend at the hostel is looking for a suitcase, and I'm looking for a backpack... Swapsies might be in order.
On top of that, I'm going to try and walk down to the fish market tomorrow, see if I can get a job on a fishing boat. If I can, it will be awesome. There are some more mini cruise liners down there too, so it can't hurt to let them know how wicked awesome I am.
On health news, I'm slowly recovering from my illness bout. I have had a constant, severe headache the last week, and a cold at the same time. Not sure if they're related, but the headache's wearing off slightly.
Right, I gotta go. Speak soon, all the best.
