Going Up The Walls

There've been a lot of things happening lately, this is why I simply did not have the peace to catch up here with it. But there's light. First of all I've really been working a lot if not too much. There weren't a lot of days I left Nicta before 7pm, I even met the night security guard a couple of times and my record is being home past 1am, just to give u an idea. Would be nice, if I got paid overtime - but as I don't get money in the first place... However, after some real frustrating problems I yesterday finally ran some cool and serious experiments and this is what I will do throughout the next days. There will be a lot of writing, too.
I also really wanna spend more time being a bit touristic again. I haven't been to the beach in weeks and I really wanna see some spots in Sydney I haven't been to at all before I leave in a couple of months. Of course all this does not mean that I wouldn't enjoy myself in my temporary home. Au contraire! I did a lot of nice things, spend a great Australia Day in the Botanicals was camping in Cattai (out in the west) with my housemates and friends, played tennis quite a few times, had some great BBQs, went out in Newtown (for convenience reasons), went to ZanziBar, had another really crazy night at the Roxbury and heaps more. Today (like a week ago) I went climbing with my mate Damian. He, by the way, is gonna visit us (@i11) in Karlsruhe this year in autum. I feel a bit drained and so I better go to bed soonish.
A couple of minutes ago Sander popped in, he is permanent user of our couch by now and just stopped by on his way from Perth to Auckland. This guy lives from holiday to holiday (although he would now correct me to point to the work he has done in between). Officially he left Syndey like two weeks ago, before that he was living an 3 Baltic Street and before that again we had a very nice Dutch ThankGodHesLeaving BBQ at his old place. About this alone I could tell some funny stories - another time. Well, with Marc in January, Greg a couple of weeks ago and Sander now (more or less) a lot of my usual suspects left and this is reminding me to the fact that I won't stay forever from time to time. Strange.
Good night and ... good luck.
