It's Alive....
I finally Got it working again, that damned Elio is alive and kicking... after messing with it for quite a few hours, I found the corrupt file that was hanging it, and found a replacement, but that did'nt work, deleted the damn thing and YAY, it's all good again, popped the music back on and I'm in Bizzness. Thanks Natashya for the loaner laptop, came in super handy with the USB 2.0 port on it...
Checked into the YHA Hostel, this place is a dead zone, there's like nobody around at all, zombienation comes to mind...
Hungama, spent about 2hrs in line.. it wasn't that cold but people were in jackets and sweaters and freezing their azzes off... lol... it did get a bit chilly, but it wasn't that bad.. met a few people in line, it wasn't too bad... it's weird, I just assumed that if I told them I was Ismaili, they would know, but nobody has a clue what it is out here...just as I got to the front of the line.. guess what? they stop it to let ticket holders only in.. WTF?!?!, was looking forward to seend RDB play, but in true brown fashion, it was only a DJ from RDB...fuckers..., there was a wicked fashion show some of the girls were absolutely stunning..., it was a very professionally done show, which I wouldn't have expected from indians, so I was pleasantly surprised... amazing how many brown people were in there... and very few fights, it was great... try doing that in Canada... not happening... saw a group of guys get into a fight.. and when the bouncers came to see what the commotion was, all of them just started throwing their hands up and dancin and the bouncers had no clue..lol.. way to go..
on the way out I was shocked to see the number of cops outside, I'm talking at least 20 officers in full uniform.. guess it's a good way to stop the fights..as I wandered down the road to find a cab, decided to split it with a few guys that were outside as well.. the ride came to $10 and in my incredible math skillset, I came up with $2 per person for the damn thing.. I gave one of the guys $2.20... figured, throw in a tip for the cabbie the guy gave the cabbie a $10.. lets see... $10 divided by 4 is.... ya, 2.50... ya think I would know that... this guy probably thought I was some cheap idiot... of course, I didn't clue into the math error until the next morning.. :)
Thanks again to the laptop I was able to get the rest of my stuff done on the Elio and fix it up! YAY!!! of course the geek in me decided to do this after the party at Hungama... I need help...lets come back from a concert show, and play on the computer...
Remembered a plate I saw on a beemer here... ID 10 T
of course I pissed myself laughing... why the hell would you use that plate?
Saturday was spent at the Cultural Arts Program that the Ismaili community did here in Sydney, it was awesome, one heck of a first class performance... the kids in the play were so cute, in little bumblebee outfits running around and dancing, a really good message from the play on environmental responsibility. The food was good (I snuck in some of the food that was for the "VIP Guests"
We headed off to City Extra, in Paramatta for lots of jokes and fun, hee hee, I got a few good ones in there, had Apple Cinnnamon Pancakes...mmmm....with a little bit of Ice Cream!
Get back to the hostel and lo an behold, there's nobody in my room! YAY!!!
It was good to sleep, nobody snoring or smelling bad... it was grrrreat! but I think I got eaten alive by Bedbugs...there pretty nasty out here
Went for a Lunch / BBQ on Sunday, the food was awesome, another great view, more jokes and laughs... and I learnt a few more jokes too...
Left lunch and went to see Star Wars Episode 3... it was pretty good, nice SFX and lots of violence :) it was pretty good, but the theatre was freezing cold... I think if it got any colder I would have lost my nipples to frostbite...
Hit up a Chinese restaurant with Natashya for Dinner...mmmm.... Ginger Fried Cat.. hey Jason, when I get back.. any chance I can marinate your new cat? hell if you're gonna call it Ginger Beef.. .might as well... ;)
the food at the place was good, had a good time.. until the end, when I saw the guy bring a live crab to the table, show it to the ppl at the table and then head back into the kitchen... I was ok at that point, then when I saw the lady eating the crab and these giant legs sticking out of her mouth, I thought I was gonna be sick... I had to get out of there... yech... I can't handle seeing people eat anything that they've met while alive... that's just gross...
Saw the aftermath of what looked to be a gang fight or something, the cops had the guy down on the ground and was cuffing him, the kid was yelling and seemed to be in quite a bit of pain. There was a guy there with a video camera and they asked him to leave... well actually, one of the security guards was a little rough with the guy, and then the cop asked him to leave... but why? isn't it a free country? he's in a public place, should be allowed to film it, what if it turned into some sort of police brutality case or summthing?
after a while we saw a whole lotta cops and a Helicopter hovering, I thought it was b/c of a fight, but it turned out there was a chinese diplomat driving around and I guess this is how they show people how important they are? it looked cool tho...
Get back to the hostel and Again! Nobody in my Room... score!
Went to listen to the Live Band at Side Bar... damn these guys are good, that and me, live music? WTF?!?!
Headed back to the internet cafe, you know you've been there too much when the songs they play are very, very familiar... got hungry so I ate a fillet o fhisy
on the way back to the hostel I saw a Bar Bouncer pushing and shoving a bum/drunk/homeless guy around... what is it with the violence? can't we all just get along? and if you say no, I'm gonna pop a cap in yo ass... aiiight?
Got some good Sleep again and then headed back to the real party hostel.. WakeUp.
didn't even bother packing, just shoved everything together and dragged it up the street. Did my Laundry... YAY... clean clothes... and then it was off to breakfast... I had fruit again with it, can you beleive it? I don't know what's goin on, I'm eating fruit, and vegetables... and that is not like me.. I mean, where's the fun if there aint a dead animal involved? although, there is the flipside
headed downtown and gave the laptop back to Natashya..THANKS! it came in very handy, a bloody cool laptop too...
Visited the STA Travel to get some info on Central Asia and travels etc...I think I might be able to find a way to get there... but we'll see how things go... need a visa for Moscow still... :)
Wanted to go to the zoo, too late.. walked around the rocks, up to Pilsons point, great views and a lot cheaper that the $160 they want to climb the Harbour Bridge...
Ate a Kangaroo Pizza and ended up back at the internet cafe again.
Sorry if these next few posts seem short, I was so busy, I just did some notes on what went on and I'm filling in the blanks about 2 weeks later.. f
