My first weekend
Yesterday I decided to go for a drive, half to check out a whoring place and half to explore. I drove to Ballina and checked out the shopping centre there. It was bigger than the one here, but still nothing compared to the ones in Sydney. I heard a girl say to her friends something about Asians when she saw me. I still stand out very much, and it is not a good feeling.
I went to the K-Mart there and bought a torch (realised I needed one after that horrific thing I did to my car, poor baby), an iron and an ironing board. I then drove to the brothel, was introduced to this fat tongan lady with tattoos on her chest and kindly said no thanks and walked back out. No way in hell I was gonna waste my money on that.
On my way back I stopped at the Big Prawn restaurant and had an omlette and small chips. The omlette was pretty damn big, so didn't think I needed the chips. The guy must've thought I was a tourist, so when I said "g'day", he probably thought I was mocking him. As I ate, I stared out the window and wondered if this would be my life for the next two years. Did RB and DY go through this train of thought when they went out west? Would I take a Sydney job in a heart beat?
I drove back 'home' and checked out the cinema. I wanted to watch the Time Traveller's wife but it was starting at night and I didn't want to be out at night. When I got home Pandy was still working on the gardens (she got there earlier in the morning when I had a scrub of my car, got all the dead insects off the front). I then went out to get an account at a video store, and rented The Butterfly Effect 3 and Valkyrie.
I watched Valkyrie, and then went out to get some take away from the Chinese restaurant close by. When I got back, a girl came out of her room and called out. It was Kim, my house mate. We introduced ourselves and then had a chat at the dining table as I ate. Maybe it was because I was told she was a student, she rode her bike everywhere, and how she seemed to be a neat freak by gleaning at the items around the house, I got the idea that she was a young and attractive girl.
She turned out to be a little older, and not as attractive as I'd had thought. Don't get me wrong, I still thought she looked kinda pretty, just not what I had in mind. I thought she looked Spanish or Italian, but turns out she was Aboriginal. I think we got on quite well. Now I don't want that old lady Toni to move in. I kinda wanted the ambulance guy for a more blokey environment, but Pandy said he took another place.
Today I washed my white shirts and then washed my car. I then drove out to get a car cover for my car, because I was starting to get sick of all the insects crawling around on my car, the leaves falling onto it, and the whole exposure to the sun, rain and dirt thing. I got some Chinese fast food from the town square food court, which really sucked. I watched Butterfly Effect 3 as I ate it. Good idea, but kinda over-used.
I decided to have a go at ironing my shirts, and then realised that the one I was wearing on Friday night when I got my car stuck was still dirty from me carrying the log. Grrr. I'll have to hand wash that I guess. Still very new to ironing shirts, so I even googled it, lol.
I gave Ele a call. I called her on Wednesday night but there was no answer, and no call back. I wasn't as angry as I'd usually be, but instead I was telling myself I should move on. I guess out of boredom I called her. To my surprise she picked up. She asked me how I was and said she was at Myer shopping with her friends. She asked me how the place was and I said it was a bit quiet. I think she got my gist, meaning I was lonely. She asked if there were any interesting cases and all I could think of to tell her was that one I watched Karen do on Friday. I asked about her cholesterol, her stress and the lady at work and she said they were all good. I was looking for any hints that she wanted to end the call and do the shopping, but couldn't pick up any. She asked when I would be returning to Sydney, and I wondered if I should tell her or surprise her, but I ended up saying in about two weeks. She said to let her know when I do.
I then went out to return the DVDs and go for a walk. I dropped them off in the return chute, then decided to check out where the train station was. It was a bit of a walk, and I noticed that the main streets of this city were desserted, and this was at 5pm on a Sunday. Farking hell. I sort of found the street where the station was, but a dog was hanging around and I wasn't sure if I was in a condition to outrun a dog so I turned around and went back to the video store. I rented The Terminal (something I came very close to buying at JB Hi-fi on several occasions) and Passengers.
I got some noodles from the Noodle Box shop and came home to watch The Terminal. Great movie, who knew they could get so much out of so little. Sad though that Zeta-Jones still went with the bastard. I guess they went with reality and not some fairytale ending.
