Schweppes Dry Ginger Ale makes my teeth hurt

I couldn't think of a title, and my bottle of Ginger Ale was next to the computer so that's where the title came from.

So tonight I am invited to attend a celebration dinner for the exhibit that just opened up at Customs House. I'm a bit nervous, most of the people are artists...and we all know how they can be. Kent won't be going with me (I was specifically told no significant others) so it should be interesting. Normally I wouldn't mind him not going, but its the whole artist scene...that scares me a bit. I will just drink/eat constantly so no one can ask me questions... Maybe Aussie artists are different though. WE SHALL SEE.

I think we are going to another Sydney Swans game this weekend (Aussie Rules Football). That will be a blast. It's a really fun sport to attend and the fans are fun too. Good environment to be in. Plus the drinks and food are a reasonable price. Still not cheap, but not the 9 dollars a hot dog crap we have at home. Its probably because its such a huge part of the culture, well American football is a huge part of our culture, and they still price gouge, so maybe its just the Aussie attitude.

Kent and I did not go to the Zoo this weekend. It just seems to always be canceled. We did go to the Aquarium though and that was great. It was a rainy Sunday so the place was packed, and I do mean packed. It took away from the experience a bit, but once you got down in those underwater tunnels, you forgot about it. I got some great pictures and video. Who knows when that will be posted.

Speaking of posting pictures, I'm a bit slow and I forgot that with my library card, I have free access to the internet at a bunch of libraries, including the Customs House, which most stations have a USB port, so Kent and I can post as many pictures as we want. YEAH! We just have to come down here on a weekend and do it, so we no longer have the excuse of lack of internet bandwidth, we are just lazy :-D

We also made the trip down to Kings Cross to check out the US aircraft carrier docked there. That was pretty cool. I wish I could have gotten a chance to board, but you either had to be on the list or a prostitute....

Ok well thats enough for now. Back to work!

You could have gone back, changed, put on some dark eye liner, and been on that ship in no time!
