Chicken with chilli and lemongrass, 'flaming ribs', and homemade lemonade. Yum!

Can you believe it? Ween. Ween are playing tonight, and I'm seeing them.
Wow.
I've been wanting to see these guys since maybe 2000. Now I shall see them tonight. Such excitement. Such anticipation. Man. Can't wait.
I want a Tshirt and a poster, and whatever other awesome shit they have.
And you know what else?
I get to see them play in Sydney tomorrow night, too! Shit yeah!
It's gonna be a crazy weekend. Not only because I'm seeing Ween play twice, but because I'm only flying one way to Sydney; Leanne's Dad is driving us back up to Brisbane on Sunday morning. Why, you ask?
Because that's how we're getting the last of our crap up to Brissie. The upshot of that is that Saturday will be spent packing our shit. I'm not entirely sure how we're gonna fit it all, but we're gonna try. Leanne's Dad is a good packer.
Oh, and one final piece of cruelty: our flight to Sydney leaves at 5:25 Saturday morning. Yesssss!
It's SO worth it though!
See you at WEEN!
Listening to: Ween (duh) - 12 Golden Country Greats. Fantastic.

I'm currently on the bus to work. My first day. The bus is packed. It stops often. I wonder if it will arrive on time? Who knows. Some much needed suspense to keep the ride interesting. I thought it was full, but it's just made another stop. I don't know how any more people will be able to fit on.
Crazy Brisbane.
Well, my previous week of team building was fun. Met some cool people, and even went over to one of their houses afterward for some drinks.
Oh Jesus, the bus has just stopped again. It's like India.
At least someone got off this time.
So yeah, the training was good.
I met both my mentor and my supervisor, and we've drawn up a sort of game plan for my career. The supervisor has also paired me up with the environmental guy on the GIS team (although they call it SIS up here), so I'll learn things from him.
Hmmm. I don't really know exactly where to get off. This'll be fun.
Talan arrived on Saturday night, bringing with him a fridge, mattress, TV and my Wii. Yay!
He'll be staying with us until May. Should be fun. He's gonna have to find a job though.
I think I'd best go now and keep my eye out for my stop. Wish me luck.

I accidentally picked up a hooker yesterday.
Driving home from work, I see a hitchhiker. Feeling generous, I pull over.
"Where you going?" I ask, innocently.
"Aw, I'm not really going anywhere," she says, "I'm more looking for work."
"Oh. I'm not really lookin for that."
She gets out of the car and says,
"Thanks for stopping. Noone's stopped for ages."
"Not a problem. Have a good day."
Awkward.

On Friday Leanne and I picked up the keys to our new house in Fairfield.
Yay!
It's a two bedroom flat within the house pictured, so it means that if people want to come up and visit, they'll have somewhere to stay!
Again, yay!
Of course, the only thing we have in there at the moment is an old couch and some armchairs that Leanne's cousins gave us, so I'm eagerly awaiting our next move in March.
Oh, and it seems that brother Talan will probably be living with us until May (when he starts Uni on the Gold Coast), so maybe you *won't* have somewhere other than the couch to stay.
Oh well. See you after May, then?
There are more photos here.
Oooh!
I just received an email telling me that a photo that I took at the Hero of Waterloo (for Boggle's Birthday) has been "published" online.
You can see it here.
I'm so famous.
And so is Ross, coz he's the fellow in it.
Woo!

It's a lovely little 2 bedder, which means y'all will have somewhere to stay when you come up and visit.
