It's essentially the same thing.
OK. Updates.
Trivia on Tuesday (that day that was both terrible and good) night, the three of us (British couple) got slaughtered. It was ugly. But we went and had a couple drinks anyway and then hit the casino. The casino here is unbelievably huge. Its so many floors and it takes up city blocks and it has a cinema and a giant food court and restaurants and a hotel and all that. It kind of reminds me of what I think Vegas will be like when I eventually go there. Played some poker, won a couple hundred, so that covers rent for a while. It's nice. Anne didn't fire me and I didn't quit. She needs staff too badly and I still like the money. We agreed to significantly cut my hours until further notice (ie. I find a job or she finds another chef. I think and hope that I will win that race.) and I managed to avoid trying to kill/injure her. Although in my shift yesterday, we (me and Kieran, the other chef) plotted for a couple hours what would be the most clandestine, clean way to kill her. We decided on oven cleaner. The other methods involved blood.
After my shift, Josh and I went to the night markets, which is just a cool marketplace thing and sells all sorts of shit that I would buy if I had the space. So I settled for a crocodile burger. Then we played cards all night. Taught them asshole, hearts, 9-5-2, etc. Got good and drunk. Good night.
Job hunting begins after the lunch rush today ie. in two hours or so. Plan A is to walk down Ackland street (where I was working) and check out window postings. There are apparently lots. After that, if I don't find anything, it's Carlisle street, and then the internet, followed by the same process tomorrow. Sunday the job listings are in the paper, so that is a fallback. I am considering not going back to work on Saturday. She'll probably rope me into working Christmas.
Regarding Thailand, wow. I didn't expect this much feedback. My Mom wants to go, my Dad does, and so do Rob and Lauren. I really am unsure what to do. I think, with the time frame my Dad is going to be here for, we should just do some cool trip/tour/camp thing for a week/10 days or so. After that, I really have no idea. Everyone involved has played the 'choose who you want, I'll understand' card already. Gak.
I think I might finally get to see Casino Royale tonight. Josh and Carol both want to go too, but we've had trouble finding a night where all 3 of us were free. Josh and I are now both unemployed, Carol is the breadwinner, at a gelato place. It's sweet, she gave me a remarkably oversized gelato the other day.
The room is good, there's a lock on my bedroom door. I'll likely get a bike because it expands the walking distance significantly. Boxing day sale?
Also, the computer there is virused to hell. Anyone with knowledge, please let me know how to fix this. Is there like a master reset destroy all the hard drive files etc method? The Chicago circa 1871 method?
Miss y'all. Address will come when I figure out exactly what you have to post it to. Should be today or tomorrow.
Cheers,

okay, guess I win ... but WHAT do I win? I feel strangely unfulfilled. So, boy, the trip/tour/camp thing sounds marvie. We're talking Aus now, right? Maybe I'll finally get to see wild kangaroos. A lifelong dream. I'll start planning. Just keep that window - March, say 5 to 25, open for me. We'll do something more exotic another year. Obviously you won't be putting a roof over my head now, so that lifelong dream will have to wait ... as to the computer problem, you might want to download and run AVG antivirus. You can get it at: http://free.grisoft.com/doc/5390/lng/us/tpl/v5#avg-anti-virus-free
Other than that, it's a good idea to clear out the temp files on your browser. I can walk you through that if you'd like. Just call when you're at the screen. Oh, and can we try to avoid the "good and drunk" stuff? It does nothing for moral fibre. Good to hear Jen has been in touch. LYMY
Hey Patrick, It seems clear to me that you should take up offers from your friends to go to Thailand. If that doesnt work, use your parents as back up. I would rather you travel with friends. I think Jenn would be a good choice since you are travelling the same trip, basically, and she will be going for sure. Others can join along. Brenna is having a job interview today too, at the YMCA, as a lifeguard....now that she is 18 she is more employable as a lifeguard. Patrick Lundeen is back in town so they are together constantly. Brenna just applied to go to McGill and U of A and major in music vocal performance.The dog is banned to the basement cause she cant be trusted to respect the house.....i didnt think she would care if it was not beautifully furnished like the main floor, but by the chaos in there when i get home she does seem to care. Now i am looking at it as a chance for her to keep busy while im away, knocking things over and clawing at the carpet edging. Big word...clandestine.....fitting for Anne the witch. What kinds of food do you prepare? Do you have a new specialty that you can make for me when you return? Good luck with the job hunt. Write me an e-mail. Lots of Love, Mom
I love your parents. They are on this blog thing like white on rice. My mother still struggles to log in to email, and asks questions like "Josh, what is this Your Tube?"
Glad to hear you have 9-5-2 buddies. Not one as bad at hearts as me (rolls eyes upwards). Keep it up. I'm calling you Christmas Day. I updated my blog and posted my picks. 2 games this week. Bills and broncs vs. titans and bengals.
if you have a windows cd, then you can put it in and format and reload windows back onto your computer. but remember to disconnect from the internet first, or shit will still go wrong. i was trying to format my sisters computer and it would always freeze, then i disconnected it from the internet and took it to my house and it worked the first try.
