(no subject)

So tonite's party/gathering is officially an un-Eurovision one. My last attempt to record the contest--by ripping the video webcast--resulted in video with no sound. Granted some of the songs sound better muted, but video only (with a lot of drop frames) just won't cut the mustard.

So it'll be conversation and food and good company. All in all, not a bad Saturday night. But I'm disappointed.

I'm also growing weary of couch surfing, and long for my own space. Yes, even my own IKEA'd Sydney apartment. And a real bed. I am amused by what I miss about Sydney. Which includes, in no terribly symbolic order:

+ Scott
+ Mr. Man, aka Max
+ high-powered electric kettles that boil in 2 minutes
+ Sundays @ Shift

But being in Hongcouver has many perks too, including:

+ da Tonester
+ Noel & Joce
+ PG Tips (I've packed 2 boxes for portaging back to Sydney)
+ poutine

I'm pretty sure I'm gonna stay in Sydney past August--it makes sense professionally and personally. Whether I'm there until November or for a couple more years remains to be seen. if it's the latter, I'll probably look at divesting myself of stuff in storage/loaned out here in Hongcouver.

More will be revealed...
