I have no idea how an unemployed person such as myself can be so busy day in and day out. Ever since my manwhore's arrival last Tuesday, I have not had a free moment to just sit and relax or even get to read my book for our first book club meeting next week. We have been occupied with bike rides around Melbourne, shopping for food at the Queen Victoria's Market which is so overwhelming that it deserves its own entry, fixing the house, get-togethers with new friends...and oh yea, I even managed to squeeze in a few job interviews.
This past Saturday Nikki and Nokomi threw an Ostraya Party (
Ostraya is how Aussies pronounce Australia) in honor of us - their American friends' arrival in their beloved country. The theme was obviously all things Australian, and the party was just another excuse for everyone to get shitfaced. Wearing the official colors of green and gold, we played footy and cricket at the park and picnicked with Aussie foods like
pavlova,
Anzac cookies,
fairy bread (white bread with butter and sprinkles),
lamingtons, and of course copious amount of beer and wine. After sun down, we moved the party to Nikki's and Nokomi's apartment where we continued eating and drinking. We also watched
Kenny, a must-see Aussie comedy about a plumber who's down on his luck - it's a great story with a ton of shit jokes. (To my American friends: if you rent the DVD, make sure you have subtitles on. They talk way too fast in their Aussie accent for us to grasp half the jokes.) What a fabulous way to welcome us to Australia! Now it's back to my regular schedule of dance and yoga classes, dinners, themed parties, bike rides...We've got a movie premiere tonight and bingo tomorrow. Honestly, who has time to work???
