“oh my god, that’s like an orgasm for the tongue!”

there goes the neighbourhood

so we have been in Germany a week and are starting to settle in, i could get very used to the food and lifestyle here…

check out my other blog for updates on our travels around (there’s alink on the side there) and i will still make sporadic entries here as i feel the urge.

Get thee to a real estate agent.

Why won’t you post my results for god sake???

Ever moved to the other side of the world for 6 months and not had accommodation? I’ll let you know what its like.

it's only 144 days till we get on the plane (not that i'm counting or anything…). it feels a bit more 'real' now because we have bought plane tickets. and i've been brushing up on my German language skills. so far i know;

"ein Bier bitte"

and

"Hast Du etwas Zeit fur mich
Dann singe ich ein Lied fuer Dich.
Von 99 Luftballons
Auf ihrem Weg zum Horizont.
Denkst Du vielleicht grad' an mich
Dann singe ich ein Lied fuer Dich.
Von 99 Luftballons
Und dass sowas von sowas kommt"

that should cover most social situations i figure

now if i can just find my passport…

home ground advantage

just back from my whirlwind tour of downtown Roxby Downs and surrounds and thought i’d share a couple of photos i took while out there

go west young man

as the end of ‘05 rushes into sight i thought it’d be good to do a year end review / wrap up. you know the sort of thing, what we did, best records/books/movies of the year yada yada etc.

then i thought, fuck it, i’ll leave it for someone more informed and entertaining than me (not to mention also being less fundamentaly lazy and with a damn sight better memory than this little black duck).

sooooo, anyone wanna do a guest 2005 review??
if so email me michaelhier@hotmail.com consider it a challenge.

oh and we’re off to Perth for xmas so catch ya in the new year
