I live in a condo with a jacuzzi and sauna across the way. My house mates are cool, two new zealanders named huti and huia. Also a drunk american called tina.
It is very nice and we all get along well.
Bad points:
there are no lights only lamps
the toaster gives severe electric shocks, current victim tally - 2
one of the bathrooms has a shower with no pressure
Good points:
there are no lights only lamps (makes you look good)
there is excellent heating and a wood fire
one of the bathrooms has a shower with good pressure

  My sister has frost bite on her bottom. It all looks like nappy rash to me.  ¶ 12:50 PM 0 comments

  I bought a cool snow board. A burton feelgood, it matches my burton boots. This dodgy guy in the rental shop sold it to me for $50 which is really really cheap. But he sold me dodgy bindings that are way too big and my toe straps dont even cover my toes.
I can do c-turns on my snow board now. Yey. I can sort of do s's but not quite. This makes me a high level 3. I find it easy to go from toes to heals but not so easy from heals to toes. This could be because of my dodgy bindings.  ¶ 12:46 PM 0 comments

  My sister once used to play a game where she'd shine a laser out of her window infront of someone walking on the footpath and they'de get really confused. One time she did it to a cyclist and he freaked out and crashed into a pole.  ¶ 12:40 PM 0 comments

  Things ive learnt about kids:
they like it when you say "crikey"
if its green when it goes in, its green when it comes out
it's not the child that should be upset when you change its diaper
it is necessary to document all bodily functions, the more the better

  I have found about five pairs of excellent shoes but it was a fiasco:

I put a pair of shoes on hold and then when i came back to buy them the sales assistent had lost them.
I then went back to another shop where I had tried on a pair and the sales assistent could only find the left shoe. Amy said "How much is it for one?" and the sales assistent said with a concerned look "Sorry mam, we only sell them in pairs."
I tried to by slippers but they only had the right one in my size.  ¶ 5:43 PM 0 comments
