Sweet as folks, sweet as

I know that it's been forever and a half since I've posted but not too much has happened.
I bought a film camera online( her name is Eloise) and spent yesterday running around taking black and white photos of everything. Graveyards, friends, children on the street, that guy that looks like Bob Dylan. I'm looking forward to see how badly all my photos turn out. The camera is manual focus, which I've never done before, so it's all a bit of an adventure :)
I spent the last couple of days reading Sidharrtha by Herman Hesse. It's a good book. Talks a lot about teh pursuit of happiness, the discovery of self and the root of wisdom. I'm about to start reading the Heart of Darkness by Joseph Conrad. I've had a lot of time to read lately. There have been a few days that have been very hot, so the most appealing thing to do is sit in the library and read for hours on end. It's been pleasant though. Very relaxing. I went to a punk concert teh other night which was so much fun! Look up Bang! Bang! Eche! They are a boatload of fabulous fun :)

Thi scoming weekend is a giant party weekend in Welly. This means that i'm being kicked out of the hostel becasue all the beds have been booked up for 6 months. Luckily I have friends in town that have couches. So i'll be couch surfing for 3 nights or so. It should be fun though. The occasion being ahuge rugby tourny. Aparently it's more of a street party and everyone dresses up and parties for 3 days. Should be good :)

I applies for a job working for Greenpeace as a fund-raiser. I should know withina couple of days if they want to hire me or not. I think it would be fun. Plus it means that i get to spend all day on Cuba st. (my favorite place) talking to people about the environment.
It'sa ll gravy here, i have new music courtesy of the wellington library, books courtesy of the used book store and good peopel to share my company...sweet as... :)

So all is well in Wellywood...i'm living and loving living.
Love you all
Sydney :)
