Lazy Bones

I thought it best to combine today (Saturday's) post and yesterday (Friday's) post simply because both days have been very uneventful. Yesterday morning I really couldn't get out of bed for just feeling exhausted. My mom thinks it's the jet lag, I think it's the lack of a proper meal and dehydration, but anyway. I crawled out of bed at around 2 o clock and with heavy eye lids went downstairs to call America to check in. Even though I didn't have the energy, I had a nice hot shower but preceded to go back to bed afterwards and just sleep. In the evening, I popped a couple doors up to an Italian restaurant to have myself a nice meal, which is the reason that I hadn't bothered with any lunch that day (Oh dear, it is a sad state of affairs isn't it!?). I'm so unsure about etiquette over here, so I didn't book a table for fear of sounding like a fool, but I was seated straight away. Pretty much everything on the menu was making me salivate at the thought, but when I clocked the penne puttenesca with anchovies and delicious salty olives, I couldn't resist. So I ordered that, and thought I'd treat myself to something other than the tap water I'd been given (I know you can drink the water from the tap but I just don't like the taste of tap water!). Dinner came, piping hot and huge so I sat and ate very slowly, probably to the waiters disgust that I was taking up a table for myself and not ordering much, but I ate and savoured every delicious bite. After dinner I went home, got back into my PJ's and put on a really poor film about a computer that gained the power of free will until I fell asleep.
I during the space of the last couple days, some people have moved into the top floor here, whereas before, it was just me and two bathrooms to myself. This leaves me ill amused, just because this morning, one of the guests thought it was a fabulous idea to just keep opening and closing the door to their room almost constantly. Either that or they were severely mentally retarded...

And today was the same really. I woke up and watched the news for a few hours from the dark confines of my room. I still felt ever so tired. I had a shower and after calling my mom, went to the McDonalds for a Happy Meal. A $6.50 happy meal. I didn't even get it in a box and the girl phrased the question about the toy 'you don't want the toy do you' in such a way that I couldn't really say 'yes I do in fact' without sounding like a chump. After lunch, I debated on seeing if I could make the journey into the city on foot, but it was really cold out today. Hoody weather. And the sun was popping in and out of the clouds. Plus, I was still feeling tired, so I opted out and went upstairs to watch a few films on my netbook. By evening time, I went and bought my Subway for tea and toyed with the idea of going out to a bar tonight. But seeing as I'm going to the St Kilda festival tomorrow, I thought it best if I saved my money for that rather than just go out tonight for the sake of it.

The good news is that I've managed to make contact with Lydia, one of Tamar's friends who happens to be in St Kilda at the minute. The three of us went out in Northampton, Christ, about three years ago. But Tamar had said to me 'if you're in Melbourne', which of course I wasn't going to be, so I thought it would be cool to see if she wanted to go for a drink or something. I'd really like to celebrate my Goldsmiths news after all! We've added one another on Facebook and swapped cell phone numbers. She said she's working a lot for the next few days because she's working for her keep in a hostel, but she'll be in touch when she gets some time off. So fingers crossed, because from what I remember of our night out in Northampton all those years ago, we had a good time!

So this is it. I'm going to watch some TV on my netbook for a little bit and call it a night. I'm looking forward to going to the festival tomorrow. It might be on the beach which would be very cool indeed. After all, I'm STILL yet to see the sea...
