Hahaha.. how appropriate. Hehe.. I found this quiz highly amusing.. as any true geek would. (Thanks to Joe for the quiz.. whose result of .ogg is so totally accurate :P).
Updates
Anyway, so one more day of freedom before I start work on wednesday. I hope it is as good a place to work as I expected. Today I met up with Annie and Andrew from my church back home, who are holidaying here. It was good to see a familiar face, and hear that good ol aussie accent again. We had lunch in chinatown (trusty asian food… always cheap.. and was quite yummy too! :)) Then after scrumptious dessert at Hagen Dazs cafe (man I love that place!) we went down to the British Museum. I saw real mummies!! And a well-preserved mummified corpse. Freaky cool stuff! Took lotsa pics which I’ll post later.
I also bought myself my first gig ticket today! Ben Folds at the Apollo in Hammersmith, 25 pounds not too bad (going by myself tho.. :|). Ooh… and the support act is Clem Snide! I remember seeing him aaages ago in Aust… can’t remember who he was supporting but I remember he was pretty cool.
*sigh* Never thought I’d say this….. but I miss my parents. 🙁 And of course I miss my friends. I miss home. I miss Sydney. I think I’m finally feeling homesick… now that the newness and wonderment of being in London is starting to wear off. *sigh* And I miss Coltrane…. I dreamt about him last night. And also my parents. And.. others. I feel sad and alone. (Not all the time. Just sometimes. Like now.)

Clem Snide supported The Cure on their dream tour here if I’m not mistaken…I remember Timbo talking about him…
Oh and we miss you too Kaz, people are just really boring now 😉

Clem Snide supported Ben Folds the first time you ever saw him play live at the Enmore. Diana was there, at her first ever ‘gig’.
He sang ‘Hopelessly Devoted’ or whatever that song is from Grease, as his ‘tribute’ to Ben Folds moving to Adelaide.
He wore thick rimmed glasses and I thought he was cool.
And there was no support act for The Cure when they came here…
Er.. Them’s the facts.

Hey karen,
Congrats on the job and job offers! Sorry I didn’t manage to catch you before you left… I was on college mission at the time…
Homesickness is tough – hope you quickly settle down at work and church, etc. Keep in touch – will be praying for you!
