Another shopoholic-type day today; I've spent the past two days immersed in the capitalist dream; buying vast quantities of clothing so that I can look like a salaryman and earn, well... a salary. Actually it hasn't been that stressful, and despite the need to have most of my pants tailored I'm pretty happy with the resultant look. Now I just need to figure out how I'm going to get this vast quantity of clothing across the ocean without busting through the insanely frugal QANTAS baggage limits. At least that's about it now, I just need to find a few suitably 'subdued' ties and I'm set.
Things haven't been all totally crazy travel preparations though- I blew off some steam with Nick, Frank and Juanita last night and shed a tear that unlike them, I'm not attending a tertiary-education institution (or any other kind of institution!) this semester. At least I have a bunch of friends I can rely on to keep me vicariously involved in that world; it's strange to look at my expired student card and walk through the university at this time of year without thinking about procuring readers and finding lecture rooms, and I'd be lying if I said I wasn't going to miss it on some level. Have a great time out there for me guys and gals!
I watched The Last Kiss (y'know that movie with Zach Braff and Rachel Bilson) a few nights back, not as good as Garden State in my opinion, but still solid and very watchable. Maybe it just hit the right chord with me since it had a theme about taking chances, breaking out of the monotony of life, making mistakes and not giving up on yourself or others (I love it when movies tell me I'm ok!) But I was pretty hooked. I encourage everyone to check out the thoroughly awesome soundtrack too, I think Zach might have missed his calling as a music producer.
Right, I'm signing out... there's coffee to be drunk, books to be read and itinerary's to be written!
