shnitzel shnitzel and more swimming....

the most information in the minimum number of words...
friday morning we got to Albury, leaving at 4am and getting there for morning coffee and hot cross buns, we had a good week end, cold but had an electric blanket!! photos are on the way!
We travelled back on monday, and because of trackworks, had to be bused to Cuttamundra before getting on the train to Sydney central... we were surrounded by young germanics, female in tears from leaving their aussie host families and males offering a reassuring shoulder to cry on, as well as wandering hands.... Soon the tears were replaced by german manifestations of joy and excitement to which chris systematically replied to with a series of "shnitzel shnitzel..."
Went back to work on tuesday and back to the pool after work, am a good breast stroker, although not surprising according to chris since I am a frog afterall..... muscles aching a bit two days later but feeling good, going back tonight!!!!!
Last night, a fantastic dinner was awaiting my return with candles and beef kebabs...what else could you want!!!!!!!!

underwater australia

this is where i got the photo for the post below, papa je pense que tu devrais aimer.....
http://www.underwateraustralia.com.au/

just can' get enough of it



all day long, i am forever thinking of things that i want to put on this blog and then, i get home and the idea of going through my brain to remember what i was thinking of is overwhelming and so nothing appears on here for you.
so, let;s try to change that.
first of all, i did not mean to offend anyone by saying that J. Simpson was useless and that we shouldn't bother talking about her. eventhough i mean it, feel free to continue these interesting debates on this blog. i am happy to be the host of it and it makes me laugh a lot to read what you two have to say (mothe and Caza of course). knock yourselves out!!!!
Also, not much happened over the week end, except that i got out of the house on saturday and ended up spending 5 hours reading on the floor of a book store in the city. that was cool and, well.. i had a damn good time and might do it again sometime... i mainly spent my time in the photography section and then bought myself two novels, we'll see if they were good choices.... so tough which reminds me of one of my potential blog thoughts on how hard it is to chose a book.... in retrospect, i think it might be pretty boring for anyone but me to analyse the criterias i have set up to pick a book so i won;t go into it....
on saturday night, we went to watch "the world's fastest indian" and I really liked it, i cried the whole time and mothe, i think you would too. it was a happy emotional follow your dreams kind of movie with an old chou.... puuuurfect. This also reminds me that we saw "V for Vendetta" last thursday I believe and it was pretty cool except that I, by principle, hate a woman who looks super hot with a shaved head and prison clothes... so that was a real problem as you can well imagine.
Yesterday, which would be sunday, we went for another swim at 8 am and i totally broke my record as i swam 1.5Km and loved it....i'm mega supa sore as I speak and it should be even worse tomorrow but we might go after work tomorrow night....it was my idea so we'll see if it really happens, the main problem being that i am submerged with work and not sure what time i'll be getting out of that fish bowl......
i think that's about, we shall be on our way to Albury in a few days, normally going down with Carolinna and Simon on their way to Melbourne... from what I understand, we might leave on thursday night and camp in the bush......in-te-res-ting.......
ok bye bye for now, keep writing comments, it's so mega exciting to check everyday and see what you have to say about brangelina and whatever else, and i mean that!!!!!
CHEERIO as they say..........................

I tried...

... to accuse chris for the lack of social events in my recent weeks... the truth is , it's not really his fault at all and while i might not be any kind of Paris Hilton party animal, I certainly make for a good granny... just a bit in advance!!
So I have decided to take control of my life and kick start this whole friendship thing that a lot of people seem to enjoy so much.... problem number 1 is that I have temporarily lost my best friend in the whole southern hemisphere (probably northern too since emails haven't exactly been flowing that direction either lately....bad) and problem number 2, I never see chris anymore and so hanging around, mindlessly dragging myself from one room to the other all week end might give me a chance to bump into him if only 5 minutes.....i guess i see him physically but we never have time to play anymore... :(
Back to the control thing, i suppose that in a time of serious drought, we could say that this week was a moonsoon season as I have met up with Tuna (tina) last night and we had delicious japanese food and ridiculously expensive beer..... and have a double date organised tomorrow night (to celebrate the week end I guess and catch up mostly) with should include Charmaine and her boyf and the boyf and I...we're going to Newtown which puts us a few notches higher on the scale of coolness.........no need to say Newtown wasn;t my suggestion as I would have settled for randwick even, so i guess it only makes me cool by association to Charmaine but i can live with that!!!!!!!!

bam bam chicccc (drum joke sound)

Frenchbeach: Hum Baby, you are the reason for the downfall of my social life...
Hot dot: oh really, and why is that?
FB: hum, because i have too much fun with you and so I don;t want to do anything else...
HD : Baby... the downfall of your social life was when Caz left.

OUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!! and so I picked up all my teeth from the floor and went to bed.....

boy oh boy

it's the start of anotehr year on this blog and so i really ought to put a bit of effort into it and write a line or two from time to time....it's all about discipline...
and not only the blog, this mornong we (as in Emma, Chris and meself) went to the Unipool...at 8 (thank god for day light saving business as it changed this morning so it was really 9 o'clock...) anyway, i swam 800 m while the Van Lint gang swam 2.5K but I don't care because I had a whole lane all to myself and i was making up my own very personal swimming style...kicking and using the floating kick board as a pillow....so cooool!!
i finished swimming a tiny bit before they did and so I was able to observe real discipline... when they swim, their bodies are like machines, with every movement so clear and sharp and defined within time and space.... pretty cool to watch plus i get to see how the sommersault thing at the end of a lap is really done, like on TV...
around 9, we went to Em's house and has deeeelicious pancakes, ohh so yummy!!!
After that we went home and that;s about where the exciting stuff ends really. oh yeah, i repoted my cactus friends (still alive) and so I expect them to loook very happy soon, at the moment they still look fairly tiny in their new big pot...
and now that;s really it, chris is stuck doing homework and I wander from one room to the other finding temporary occupations, i think i might go put my glasses on and have a bit of reading time.... reading a supa good book at the moment, but can;t say too much about it yet....
ciao, i hope this new entry will set a pattern for the year to come....

this is what happens when an obsession is pushed too far



Chris has a uni assignment on photoshop due this week so I put my two cents in....pretty funky huh?
