Rambling

And so Winter has found me
Caught, her grip cold as ice
Trees go bare and gold covers ground
The candle fails to spread its warmth in the empty room
as Kings sing me to sleep in the blackest night

Well... It IS cold here in Tassie. I think it's been around 10 degrees in the last couple of days. But who am I to complain when everyone at home have had a long winter and I none? Though I could use some warmer clothes than these. And the heater in my dorm (that I've had all to myself!) won't really do what it's supposed to do and warm up the place.

Today I've had the pleasure of meeting the Devil. Or 8 devils in fact. At the Tasmanian Devil Conservation Park. Most of them were up and running and sniffing the air for food, some were sleeping. When it was feeding time they turned into wild little beasts, playing tug-o-war with the food, biting and chasing each other. They were a bit shaggy-looking but still cute.

What else, what else... oh yes. "Oh books, how I love thee!" There are so many beautiful books in every bookshop I visit. If only I had an immense library to fill, and enough money to spend! The mission tomorrow is to find something new to read since I have finished The Princess Bride and Taming of the Shrew already. Things are still going slowly with Jules Verne and his Journey to the Centre of the Earth, but I'm trying (sometimes).
If the weather conditions are good enough I might also hop on a bus to the top of Mt Wellington to see the spectacular view.

The return of Coca Cola flavoured lips

On friday I got the idea that I should visit IKEA so yesterday me and Yoko ventured into town to find the swedish store. How disappointed I was with what I found! Not only was the feeling all wrong, the meatballs didn't taste good and were served with fries or tasteless mashed potatoes. And they wouldn't even accept my Family card!! I don't know if it really was IKEA or just a place that merely pretended to be. Either way, it sucked.

A couple of days ago I made the wonderful discovery of Lip Smackers' Coca Cola flavoured lip balm!! I used to buy Coca Cola flavoured lip balm when I was younger and was sad when it suddenly disappeared one day. Glad to have it back again. Nostalgia!

Hot and cold

I've been an uninspired writer lately and that's why there hasn't been any posts. But now I feel like I have to write something, to share what's been happening in the land of Oz.

Me and Yoko have been living at the house now in little more than a week. Been looking for jobs and just been lazy. Watched many horror movies. Even heard some mysterious noises under Yoko's bed one night. Creepy!
The weather keeps changing between hot and cold. Yesterday it was rain and thunder and the day before that it was hot like hell. This morning I woke up freezing under my duvet. The weather gods seems unable to make up their minds.

Also thought I'd share some photos of the house here but the computer won't recognize my memorycard so that will have to wait.

That's that for now.
