Sorry

I know it's been a significant period of time since my last post, meager thought it was. Historically, we bloggers provide excuses for these absences, so what is mine? Well, I'm exceptionally lazy, for one, and there was that earthquake...

Since it's been so long, I'll provide a little recap of the ensuing events in my great life:

• Our house lost pretty much anything even vaguely resembling water pressure for two weeks. Suffice to say my hair was downright filthy for a period of time, so much so that we resorted to paying to have it washed at the local salon (for a "bargain" special post quake price of $5!).
• School has restarted, albeit to an extremely confusing timetable, and shared classrooms with Avonside Girls' School. So confusing, in fact, that in the last two weeks I have managed to go to my french class twice, only to be told by year 9s that I am in the wrong place. How embarrassing...
• My sister turned nineteen! She picked up tights and a copy of a Frankie for her troubles, and myself a free pizza and glass of delicious Apple Cider for mine. Classic!
• The new Fleet Foxes album was released- er, leaked, I should say. I am listening to it as I type this, much in the same way that I have been for the last week. It's just a shame that I have only been enjoying it for three days of that, but good things take time and all that.
• My headphones finally arrived from quake/tsunami stricken Japan. The are great, especially when I can't bear being subjected to that top 40 shit at the gym, nor the puffing and wheezing of old men next to me on the rowing machine.
• I finally have grasped the points course structure of engineering at university. Never mind that I have no interest in engineering itself- as far as I am concerned, nothing could be so baffling as those charts that in hindsight are embarrassingly simple.
• I took this cool picture at the park opposite my place last Sunday evening in nice light:

 

• Also, during the course of several plumbers fixing our pressure, someone fucked up, and there was a several metre high parabola of water shooting across the road. Here's what it looked like:

 Thanks for reading, and looking.
